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.

Trivia

  • The weapon's name and tooltip are references to the character Sundowner from the game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, with Sundowner's boss song being named 'Red Sun' and the lyrics containing the line 'Red Sun over Paradise'.
  • 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 ●).
