The Venusian Trident being used on Target Dummies.
The Venusian Trident is a craftable post-Moon Lord wand and the direct upgrade to the Inferno Fork. When used, it fires an infernal trident that causes a very large explosion upon hitting a tile or an enemy, releasing four to nine flaming shards that fall to the floor and deal 20% of the weapon's damage. The explosion lingers for about 2 seconds before dissipating. The tridents, explosions, and flaming shards inflict the Daybroken debuff.
Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes
- The weapon's explosions only deal 65% damage to The Devourer of Gods.
Trivia
- The Venusian Trident is similar to the Phantasmal Fury and Shadowbolt Staff in that they are all crafted using a drop from one of the Rune of Kos bosses and Ruinous Souls, and directly upgrade post-Plantera magic weapons.
