Solar Flare
Solar Flare (Taiyoken) is an evasion technique that releases a blinding flash of light. Everyone nearby who is looking your way is blinded for several seconds, and blinded mobs lose track of their target, which gives you room to escape, heal or set up an attack.
Learning it
Krillin teaches Solar Flare for 2,000 TP. He only trains characters with Good alignment (61 or higher). Like every evasion technique, it needs Ki Control, an empty main hand and at least 5% Power Release, and it must be equipped in a technique slot.
How it works
Press the technique's slot key to release the flash. It takes effect at once:
- Everyone within 20 blocks who can see you and is looking your way is blinded for 6 to 12 seconds.
- The blindness lasts longer the more directly they look at you and the closer they are.
- Allies are blinded for half as long.
- Blinded mobs lose their target.
After using it, all your evasion techniques share a short lockout (the technique's duration + 3 seconds), and Solar Flare itself goes on a 45-second cooldown.
Upgrades
Solar Flare gains experience every time you use it. Spend it in the Skills menu on duration (+2.5% per level, up to +50%) and cooldown.
Notes
- The flash only works on those facing you: enemies behind you or looking away are not affected.
- Saga enemies can use Solar Flare against you too.
