The Solar Power Cannon is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 9.1.0 update.
Description
It is a yellow, summer-themed solar cannon that shoots yellow solar bombs. It has a decent fire rate, small capacity, and average mobility. It has single shots and area damage attributes.
Appearance
It has a gold and gray body with three blue crystals on the top, a yellow stock, a yellow handle, a yellow ammo clip with a dark yellow skull on it, and a white and yellow muzzle.
When fired, yellow waves propel forward and explodes on contact. It also has an area damage effect.
Combat
This weapon shoots a yellow, circular particle with bullet travel time that has a medium-sized explosion on impact. It has area damage, so shooting on the ground in close range near the player makes fighting with this weapon easier.
When reloading, the clip is taken out from this weapon and is replaced by another. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
Tips
- After firing, there will be a 3-second cooldown, so don't be in the open when it cools down.
- Use close and medium-range attacks as the yellow waves will hit enemies easier as they don't move faster than bullets.
- Use this to spawn-trap and make sure you don't get caught in its area of effect, which can deal insane damage.
- This has large area damage and could easily hit players even when they are jumping (as long as they do not have the Ninja Tabi (PG3D), Berserk Boots or the Storm Trooper Boots (PG3D)). During the case when your enemy does happen to use this, then aim for the ground and shoot at where they are going to land.
- Although this weapon is very powerful and should be used in close-medium ranges (medium-long ranges if you're skilled) don's use this if the enemy is too close to you or else you might risk taking self-explosion damage.
- It can be used to deal good damage on any heavily armored players.
- This weapon is very powerful for high-level players. Matched with the very large blast radius and its two-shot kill to Adamant-armored players, it is a popular, but expensive, weapon.
- Rocket Jumping is impossible with this weapon due to a huge vertical blast radius.
Counters
- Try to avoid its shot and attack the enemy while they are waiting for the cooldown to end.
- Attack this weapon from long ranges.
- Circle around the user using a low weight weapon, either using a gun or using a melee weapon.
- Be aware that if your armor is bellow golden (or at low levels), this will One-shot you. It is advised to not go too close or even engage these users on medium to close ranges, due to its high damage and the large area of effect.
- Avoid being near a wall, or the user can easily damage you.
- Use the Ninja Shurikens to defeat your enemy quickly.
- Use a powerful sniper such as the Morgana to pick off users from long ranges.

Equipment Setups
Bring a sniper rifle to kill enemies at long range to weaken them. A good primary would also suffice as this weapon is more of a heavy weapon, meant for finishing off weakened targets. A decent rifle such as the Impulse Rifle would complement this weapon very well.
- This weapon can and will provide more and decent gameplay at the hands of a skilled player and beginners alike. Its area damage is massive that the only thing that really prevents anyone from missing is if they jump or are highly mobile. This weapon is extremely versatile, but should ideally be used in close-medium ranges to maximize its potential.
