Solar Eruption



The Solar Eruption is a Hardmode autoswinging melee weapon which fires a long, spear-like projection from the player's position that quickly retracts. The tip follows a narrow arc in the general direction of the cursor before retracting. The Solar Eruption can travel through blocks and inflicts the Daybroken debuff which 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 relative 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 through blocks.
 * This item can kill The Destroyer in seconds due to multiple segments of the weapon hitting multiple segments of The Destroyer multiple times.

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.
 * 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.
