Solar Eruption



The Solar Eruption is a Hardmode autoswinging melee weapon that fires a long spear-like projection from the player's position that quickly retracts. This weapon can travel through blocks. The tip follows a narrow arc in the general direction of the cursor before retracting. It inflicts the Daybroken debuff that deals damage in ticks of 25.

Tips

 * The Solar Eruption is effective for large groups of enemies such as during events, as it pierces through and deals damage to all of them.
 * However, it can be poor for single targets, especially at long range.
 * The Solar Eruption is exceptionally useful for fighting the Moon Lord, as he is unable to hit the player through walls with most of his attacks. This means the Moon Lord can be damaged through walls from safety.
 * Due to the long reach and small sweep of the Solar Eruption, it can be used to cut down plants with ease.
 * The Solar Eruption is a very useful tool for finding items in dark areas, due to it being able to quickly illuminate areas though blocks.

Trivia

 * The debuff tooltip misspells "Incinerated" as "Incenerated".
 * A "Solar eruption" is another name for a.
 * The Solar Eruption was likely inspired by Solar prominences, where large, twisting, looping, and arcing plasma emissions are ejected from the surface of the Sun into space.
 * It could be considered an indirect upgrade of the Sunfury because of their similar themes and them both being flails.
 * The Solar Eruption is regarded as one of the best overall weapons in the game due to its high damage, debuff, and its block-ignoring effect.
 * It seems to have much lower knockback than most other flails.
