And the Trident Rush is a big part of the reason Batman has it hard against Aquaman.
That does
not take away from how potent a tool the Trident Rush is. In fact, it's potentially one of the best. A large amount of chip damage and meter-building, especially when you burn one bar and get almost all of it back...
Can't be beaten by armored moves since the regular version has four hits and the MB version has eleven...
eleven. Digest that fact for a moment.
On top of all that, it's only -11 on block
and has pushback. This limits punishment options.
How can it be a bad tool at all?
EDIT: To those suggesting pushblocking, you're playing into Aquaman's game when you give up meter in that way. If you choose not to, you take a lot of chip and they get meter. A lose-lose scenario.
