==Description==
Screw Trident is an Energy Layer that is a Stamina Type Energy Layer with trident motifs meant to represent its Japanese namesake; Trishula, a three pronged spear in Hinduism. Like its predecessor Treptune, Screw Trident features three large blades to create an overall triangular shape. As part of the Switch-Strike/God Layer System, Screw Trident features gimmicks; the center and blades of the Layer are connected by rubber so create “Bound Defense” akin to Jerk.

In theory, the rubber would allow the blades would shift under impact and absorb shock to reduce recoil. In practice however, due to how hard the rubber is, the gimmick fails to function. This issue is exacerbated by the triangular shape of the Layer which creates high recoil and Burst Risk which the four medium teeth of the Japanese release are unable to compensate for.

Despite the high Burst risk however, Screw Trident performs well in pure Stamina combinations as its weight distribution creates spin times near or equal to Deep Chaos, albeit without Destabilization potential.

==Overall==
Despite the recoil, ineffective gimmick and high Burst risk, Screw Trident’s high Stamina makes for an excellent alternative to Deep Chaos if the latter is unavailable.

As such, Screw Trident is a must have for bladers if one does not have Deep Chaos and a welcome addition if one does.

How good is the stamina compared to gK?

Just a bit better, they're comparable but in a direct mirror battle, Screw Trident will win

Expect it to be Treptune in the Hasbro future release.
And I am betting they will add Winning Valkyrie (definitely “Valtryek”, could be “Winning”) before Treptune Switch Strike releases.

Possible result:
Screw Treptune or S___ Treptune.

It is most likely going to be spiral treptune T3

Are you refering to this?

But it could apply to both apparently?

Ok, hear me out. The Trishula (the hindu trident) resembles the one the avatar holds. Secondly, it is often associated with light and purity. Trident is yellow, so it also fits.

I don't think you guys have the proof to claim that it's specifically the Trishula and not any others. If it was actually called "Trishula", it would be another story.

Tridents are a weapon clearly associated with multiple gods and belief systems, and it's usually depicted as being yellow/golden, at least from all the renditions I can recall seeing. (Even the dad in The Little Mermaid had a golden one. Aquaman's are also usually golden.) So no, it being yellow is not enough proof. In the west, we strongly associate the trident with Poseidon/Neptune, and so I think Hasbro's call was mighty fair and more accurate, given that the western word was used.

Despite that said, I don't think we should pin it on any single one, just list it as being a weapon associated with multiple gods and found in multiple religions. It seems to commonly include giving control over the oceans, which makes sense given that people used a form of non-weaponry tridents for fishing.
