Loong Trident item description and lore

The lore line reads:
“A Loong-fang trident once wielded by You Loong, leader of the Blackwater Crew.”

What Loong Trident is good for
The trident is built for enemies hiding in water or snow. No Refuge Beneath puts a prompt over them and forces them out with increased damage. Master of the Water unlocks at weapon level 5 and makes those enemies always emerge Guard-Broken, which sets up the follow-up described in the Guard Break guide.
Outside this niche, Wet makes each attack increase the damage enemies suffer from Lightning and Frost, while also giving you an edge against foes with fire weapons. With the Tempering art Precision Throw, releasing Phantom Edges while your hand glows greatly boosts the throw’s damage and Sha-Chi Depletion.
