Solar Flare armor

Solar Flare armor is a Hardmode, Lunar Event armor set that provides melee boosts. Each piece provides melee bonuses, but also increases the chances of being targeted by enemies. Equipping the full set provides a special defense bonus (up to 30%) that builds the longer the player avoids damage, similar to a Beetle armor set bonus, though the Solar Flare set causes fire explosions around you when a charge is depleted via taking damage. This shield can also be drained to perform a special "dash" attack.

Equipping the full set displays an after-image effect during motion, similar to the Hallowed armor.

Crafting this set requires a total of 36 Luminite Bars (144 Luminite) and 45 Solar Fragments.

Solar Flare armor currently provides the highest defense of any armor type.
