'''Solar''' is one of several known manifestations of the [[Light]], along with [[Void]] and [[Arc]]. It is a class of [[Elemental damage|elemental damage]].

==Overview==
Solar energy is related to combustion, heat and nuclear fusion, and can be wielded by [[Guardian]]s to generate flames and other heat-related phenomena. Healing power is also associate with Solar Energy. Solar Solar energy can be integrated into vehicles, from small [[Sparrow|sparrow]]s to the mighty war machines of the [[Cabal]], even certain clothing that have a program to it is capable of enhancing the use of Solar.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/starfire-protocol?highlight=solar Starfire Protocol]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/burnout?highlight=solar Burnout]</ref> There are places that can refine [[Hammer of Sol|items]] from solar energy.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/hammer-of-sol?highlight=solar Hammer of Sol]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/scorch-cannon?highlight=solar Scorch Cannon]</ref> There are even locations that harness energy from the Sun and converts it to Solar Light.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/icarus-languid-sea-mercury?highlight=Solar+energy Icarus, Mercury]</ref> Some Guardians use Solar energy to create cooking fires.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/solar-powered?highlight=Solar+energy Solar Powered]</ref>

==Gameplay==

===Guardians===
Guardians employ Solar powers for two main aspects: burning and healing. The abilities of their Solar subclasses reflect these.

====Subclasses====

[[Sunbreaker]]s are a mercenary order of [[Titan (class)|Titans]] that are exceptionally skilled at wielding Solar Light, manifesting it as the weapon known as the [[Hammer of Sol]]. In [[Destiny 2]], they can also create a [[Burning Maul]] in order to deal close-range damage.

[[Gunslinger]] [[Hunter (class)|Hunters]] use Solar Light to draw out flaming pistol known as [[Golden Gun]]. In Destiny 2, they gain the ability to instead unleash a volley of Solar-charged knives as a [[Blade Barrage]].

[[Sunsinger]] [[Warlock]]s buff themselves using Solar Light to rapidly increase their grenade recharge rate and to gain other various benefits, including reviving themselves instantly.

[[Dawnblade]] Warlocks replaced Sunsingers in ''Destiny 2'' and use Solar Light to create a sword that can either be used to produce damage dealing [[Daybreak|Projectiles]], or a planted in the ground for the empowering [[Well of Radiance]].

====Verbs====

Common effects of Solar subclasses, as defined in the Light 3.0 update, are:

*'''Cure''' -  You are healed in a burst of mending Solar Light.
*'''Restoration''' - You continuously regenerate health and shields over time. Cannot be interrupted by taking damage.
**Restoration can be stacked twice, increasing the regeneration speed. 
*'''Radiant''' - Your weapons are enhanced by the power of the Traveler and deal increased damage to foes. 
*'''Scorch''' - The target is singed by destructive Solar Light, taking damage over time. Scorch damage increases as the target accumulates more Scorch stacks. After 100 Scorch stacks are applied to the target, they '''Ignite'''.
**Different effects inflict different amounts of scorch stacks.
*'''Ignite''' - A large, damaging Solar explosion in an area around the target.

====[[Grenade]]s====
As of the Solar 3.0 update, all grenades are accessible to all classes

*'''[[Solar Grenade]]''': A grenade that creates a flare of Solar Light which continually damages and '''scorches''' targets trapped inside.
*'''[[Firebolt Grenade]]''': A grenade that unleashes bolts of damaging Solar Light at nearby targets and slightly '''scorches''' them.
*'''[[Fusion Grenade]]''': An explosive grenade that attaches to its targets, damaging and moderately '''scorching''' them on detonation.

*'''[[Thermite Grenade]]''': A grenade that sends forth a line of fire, dealing damage and '''scorching''' targets in its path.
*'''[[Swarm Grenade]]''': A grenade that detonates on impact, releasing multiple drones that seek nearby enemies. Each drone slightly '''scorches''' affected targets. 
*'''[[Tripmine Grenade]]''': An explosive grenade that sticks to surfaces and detonates when enemies pass through its laser trigger, dealing damage and moderately '''scorching''' them.
*'''[[Healing Grenade]]''': A grenade that '''cures''' allies on impact and creates an Orb of benevolent Solar Light, granting '''restoration''' to allies when picked up.

===Enemies===
[[Cabal]] and [[Devil Splicers]] are the main users of Solar weapons, with light, heavy and melee weapons found across all their ranks, especially in ''Destiny 1''. Low ranking [[Vex]] use Solar ranged weapons, while Solar melee mostly comes from [[Scorn]] and [[Taken]]. [[Fallen]] and Scorn heavier weaponry is commonly Solar powered. The [[Hive]] only have the rare [[Splinter]], though [[Acolytes]] can use Solar [[Acolyte Grenade|Grenades]].

Solar [[Absorption Shield]]s are employed by Cabal [[Centurion]]s, Hive [[Wizard]]s, [[Taken Captain]]s, and Scorn [[Chieftain]]s, and added to [[Shank]]s and [[Taken Knight]]s in higher difficulty activities, such as Legend [[Nightfall]]s. The end of a [[Nightmare Hunt]] features enemies of the [[Nightmare]]'s faction equipped with Solar shields.
