		+
		+	==Strategy==
		+	Demon tridents are more likely to generate in [[Shoals]] than [[Swamp]]. In either case, you can find demon weapons in the hands of [[hell knight]]s around [[Depths]]/[[Vestibule of Hell]].
		+
		+	===Compared to partisans===
		+	With both weapons at mindelay, a +0 demon trident deals the same damage/turn as a +0 [[partisan]] against 0 AC enemies. While AC and flat boosts like [[slay]]ing could alter the calculations, it's not by much - either weapon is enough to win a 3 rune game.
