 In general, Polearms are great if you have some means of creating distance. Characters with fast [[movement]] speed, [[summon]]s, or other [[allies]] can benefit the most from Polearms, though tridents aren't a terrible melee weapon on their own.
 Unfortunately, tridents are the best one-handed polearm until you have access to a [[demon trident]] (or [[trishula]]).

 "Without noticing the occupations of an intervening day or two, which, as they consisted of the ordinary sylvan amusements of shooting and coursing, have nothing sufficiently interesting to detain the reader, we pass to one in some degree peculiar to Scotland, which may be called a sort of salmon-hunting. This chase, in which the fish is pursued and struck with barbed spears, or a sort of long shafted trident, called a waster, is much practised at the mouth of the Esk, and in the other salmon rivers of Scotland."<br>
