Splash refers to the area of affect, not that it does not "see" shields. Just as with a Trident you can strike a wall or the air nearbye an enemy, rather than a direct strike, and till inflict damage. That is why the Trident or Orkan can be so effective. It can also yield you up to 4x the amount of damage if you were to strike the Lancelot bot, as the splash damage would do damage to all 3 physical shields, as well as the bot itself (even though you will only receive damage points for the damage done directly to the bot, you are still damaging multiple objects).

The Trident is far superior mid range to the molot.
