Solar Shard
Solar Shard (Legacy) was previously removed from the game on the 26th of January 2022 as it was part of the Solar Eclipse Event, though it has been made available through the Sandbox mode.
It is not accessible anywhere else in the game, aside from in Sandbox Mode. This page will attempt to include information about both the version before removal and its re-added version.
Description
The Solar Shard was an enemy that appeared in the third and fourth night of the Solar Eclipse Event. Currently, it can be spawned in Sandbox mode. It did not appear naturally in the Tower Outskirts and was instead spawned by Penumbras, while in the Totality Tower it appeared naturally and could be spawned by the Lunar Servant. It had a low amount of health and a below average speed. Upon death the Solar Shard would spawn a Lunar Shard.
Appearance
The Solar Shard had dark purple skin. It had a cracked torso, revealing a light orange substance within it. It had glowing orange shoulder-pads and a floating sun symbol behind its head. It walked with a slight hunchback.
Strategy
As this enemy only appears through Sandbox mode, no strategy section is made for its current version. Instead, a strategy section for the one that appeared without Sandbox mode in the Solar Eclipse Event is listed instead.
- Towers with high DPS, such as the Accelerator, Turret, Minigunner or Ranger are recommended to defeat this enemy.
- If a Solar Shard has low health and is near the end of the map, try not to kill it, as it will transform into a Lunar Shard and do considerably more damage to the base.
- However, the Lunar Shard will also turn into Dust upon death.
