Bedrock Nerf tridents

[SlinkyGnu05604]

As we all know in CubeCraft Bedrock 1.19, tridents are one of the new weapons added to the server.
However, the weapon is way too overpowered. But you may say that Netherite Sword is in the game too, it should be nerfed as well!
Yes Netherite Sword is in the game but I did tests to compare the stats of both weapons and turns out the trident does 1 damage more (in melee) than the Netherite Sword, which proved that the trident is OP and needs to get nerfed to match the damage value of Netherite Sword.
Below is the damage value chart of both weapons:
Damage shown is with numbers, 2 damage = 1 heart (critical hit damage is in parentheses)

	No Armor	Leather	Chain (Protection 1)	Iron	Diamond and Netherite
Trident (Melee)	9 (13)	8 (12)	5 (8)	5 (9)	2 (4)
Trident (Thrown)	8	7	4	4	2
Netherite Sword	8 (12)	7 (11)	4 (7)	4 (7)	2 (3)

How should the trident get nerfed:
Reduce the damage for the trident by 1 HP (if possible)

Only do the following nerfs if the damage cannot be reduced:
In SkyWars (Normal Mode), either make the trident spawn ONLY in mid chests and make it rarer than a sharpness 1 diamond sword OR remove them
In EggWars, raise the price of the trident to 50 diamonds

yeah literally all of skywars is just people doing 4 heart crits with tridents so theres barely enough time to react

 

[Aratic]

I think a damage reduction is not necessary in Eggwars but in sky it is

 

[iVoxle]

Apart from that they should also fix the crits and reach

I already said so in the Discord when you shared this in the chat, but I’ll say it again: I agree.

The weapon is fun to use, obviously, but when it gets used against you, there’s barely anything you can do. I usually don’t play much SkyWars, but I specifically hopped on two days ago to try out the changes. In the first game, I got a trident. I managed to kill everyone with ease and win the game. The second and third game, I got killed by players using a trident, with ease. See the pattern? So, yeah, I definitely agree with this suggestion.

Though, like @Aratic said, I don’t think any reduction in EggWars is necessary since you have to spend time getting the actual item along with automatically having better gear from the start (OP).

100% agree after playing Skywars for 15 minutes. Tridents can instantly end your games, and the fact that you can get them off Spawn Islands. . . .

Definitely. There's NOTHING you can do if someone with a trident surprises you

Only do the following nerfs if the damage cannot be reduced:
1 - Make the trident spawn ONLY in mid chests and lower the chance of getting it in there in SkyWars
2 - Raise the price of the trident in EggWars to 50 diamonds

1: Trident should only spawn in mid, as if you get trident off spawn and immediately rush your opponent and 2 tap them in the first 4 seconds, it removes the fun out of the game.

2: Tridents should do less damage for the first 30 seconds of the game not sure how much less would be good.

3: Remove them all together in normal and make them only obtainable in overpowered.

Bump!
Also edited the nerfs to make them specific to each game if the damage cannot be reduced
Added an extra nerf in SkyWars to have them removed in Normal mode (original suggestion here)
