Solar Eruption



The Solar Eruption is a Hardmode auto-swing 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. You can craft this item after defeating the Solar Pillar and obtaining 18 solar fragments.

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.
 * 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 you through walls with most of his attacks. This means you can use the Solar Eruption through walls to damage him, while also being safe from his attacks.
 * 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.
 * The Solar Eruption could be considered a 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.
