Solar Radiance

Why it ranks Tier S

Update 4's raid-exclusive Life weapon and the SOLAR RADIANCE namesake. The Evil Reflection raid drops it, and its awakening is the hardest gate in the game so far: Shadow Lord's Monarch Path, Night Tree and Skill Tree all fully upgraded, plus Pure Sword Shards, Hunter Star and Pure Quill from the raid. Fully awakened, its duo ultimate with Shadow Lord (chaining Igris + a character copy) is the strongest burst combo documented — S tier for the ceiling, with a grind to match.

Roll odds

Combat style

Final Verdict, Blade Dance, Heaven's Blade, Sword Volley; duo ultimate chains with Shadow Lord + Igris when both are fully upgraded.

Synergy

Pair Solar Radiance with Crimson Eclipse for +5% damage (Life pair, both Update 4 kits). Any unnamed pair still gives the base +5% damage.

Evolution requirements

Evolving unlocks the weapon's fourth skill — the ultimate move. The full bill:

• Solar Radiance drop (Evil Reflection raid)
• Pure Sword Shards (Evil Reflection raid)
• Hunter Star (Evil Reflection raid)
• Pure Quill (Evil Reflection raid)
• Shadow Lord Monarch Path + Night Tree + Skill Tree fully upgraded

Fine Cloth drops across all chapters and Infinite mode, so it is never the bottleneck — the Act-specific materials and Gems are. Farm with the Fortune trait and drop-rate accessories (Flame Pirate Hat budget option, Blast Archer Wings endgame) to speed it up.

Is Solar Radiance worth it?

Yes — Solar Radiance is a chase target.
