Description
The Solar Eclipse Event was the ninth event to be added to Tower Defense Simulator. This event added one new event tower, the Executioner. It also had a season pass, which required 
Solar Shards to reach higher ranks.
This event was unique due to its night system. There were a total of four different nights with unique enemies, with each night getting harder. Each night was theoretically meant to release 48 hours after each other, with Night 1 releasing six hours after the event was released. However, due to changes in timing to better adapt to playing audiences, some nights came out before and after this 48 hour time period. You could not play subsequent nights without triumphing all those prior. Triumphing Night 4 would reward the Executioner.
This event started on the 4th of December 2021 at 19:00 UTC, and concluded on the 26th of January 2022 at 02:00 UTC.
Solar Eclipse Season Pass
You could have obtained Solar Shards from playing any night. You could also obtain Solar Shards from playing non-event matches. This list contains the amounts of Solar Shards you received on each wave for each method:
| Night | Solar Shard Reward |
|---|---|
| Night 1 (Rotfield)[1] | 40 Solar Shards x (Waves/8)^1.75 + 40 Solar Shards for triumph
|
| Night 2 (Foggy Forest) | 120 Solar Shards x (Waves/12)^1.75 + 40 Solar Shards for triumph
|
| Night 3 (Tower Outskirts) | 150 Solar Shards x (Waves/15)^1.75 + 40 Solar Shards for triumph
|
| Night 4 (Totality Tower) | 200 Solar Shards x (Waves/16)^1.75 + 40 Solar Shards for triumph
|
| Mode | Solar Shard Reward |
| Normal | 15 Solar Shards x (Waves/30)^1.75
|
| Molten | 25 Solar Shards x (Waves/40)^1.75
|
| Fallen | 35 Solar Shards x (Waves/40)^1.75
|
| Hardcore | 50 Solar Shards x (Waves/50)^1.75

Unlike previous seasons, you must have manually claimed each reward. If you did not have the specific tower for an applicable skin, you would not be able to receive the skin.
In total, it would have taken 6,225 Solar Shards or 
3,200, to complete the Solar Eclipse Season Pass.
