Solar Eruption



The Solar Eruption is an auto-swing melee weapon that fires a long spear-like projection from the player's position that quickly retracts, and travels through blocks. The tip follows a narrow arc in the general direction of the cursor before retracting. It inflicts the "Daybreak" debuff that deals damage in ticks of 25. You can craft this item after defeating the Solar Pillar.

The best Modifier available to this weapon is Godly.

Tips

 * The Solar Eruption is great for large groups of enemies such as Events, as it pierces through and deals damage to all of them. Furthermore, the Solar Eruption can pass through walls. However, it can be poor for single targets, especially at long range. The Daybreak is much better for lone targets due to its accuracy and stackable debuff.
 * The Solar Eruption is exceptionally useful for fighting the Moon Lord, as he is unable to hit you through walls with most of his attacks. This means you can stay behind cover and use the Solar Eruption through walls to damage him, while he has a hard time hitting you.
 * The lighting effect of the Solar Eruption can be used to illuminate dark areas and find ores hidden in the dark.
 * Due to the long reach and small sweep of the Solar Eruption, it can be used it cut down plants and Mushrooms with ease.
 * The Solar Eruption can be a viable replacement for the Death Sickle.

Trivia

 * The small sweeping pattern the Solar Eruption makes strongly resembles the shape of a real-world solar prominence, a stream of erupting plasma that follows magnetic field lines.
 * When slowed down it looks like a segmented sword.
