Loong Trident at a Glance
- Dropped by a boss. The Blackwater Crew Dock on Meigu Lake is where You Loong leaves it behind.
- Ranged Phantom Edge. Its classification as ranged means the Phantom Edge slot holds it; no main weapon slot ever does.
- Trident moves. Attacks are built around the trident, and two of its moves are called Wet and No Refuge Beneath.
- Flushes out concealed lurkers. Hitting a patch of snow with it drives out any Snowveil Lurkers concealed underneath.
- Perks from Step. Loong Step unlocks a forward variant at level 15, and a back variant at level 25.
Overview
After You Loong goes into a frenzy, the Loong Trident, which the crew prizes, can be taken from him.
As leader of the Blackwater Crew, You Loong reappears on an island in the north of Meigu Lake, trident held and his technique stripped of all discipline. Winning the fight hands you the weapon, which is a Ranged Phantom Edge.
Wet and No Refuge Beneath are among the moves it offers. Compared with the One-Eyed Bow and the Feather Bow, it has a higher Guard Break and a damage figure that lies in the middle of the two.

Revealing hidden snow lurkers
