Solar Flare Explosion

The Red Sun is a craftable post-Moon Lord developer broadsword. When it is swung, a large number of solar flares fall from the sky at varying speeds and angles. The flares explode after some time or upon hitting an enemy, releasing multiple homing fragments when they do. Both the flares and the fragments ignore tiles. The weapon and its projectiles inflict the Holy Flames debuff. This can be considered the upgrade of the Celestial Claymore.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

• This weapon actually has a unique rarity but is referred to here as Hot Pink for consistency between weapons.
  • This unique rarity alternates between rarity colors of crimson (#CC5650 ●) and magenta (#ED458D ●).
