Overview

Solar Slayer is a Secret Unit Solar that can be obtained from the Solar Portal. This unit boasts high AoE burn damage that can evolve to cover a medium-sized line to a large one with upgrades.

With up to ten upgrades possible per deployed Solar Slayer, you can cover the field in fiery AoE attacks. He can use both air and ground enemies with his AoE damage, allowing him to cover a large area without requiring any specializations. Also, 20% of the total damage he deals with is converted into burn damage, which does four ticks of 5% damage over time.

The Slayer can be deployed up to three times and each deployment costs 2,500 Yen. Each upgrade costs more than the last, with the final upgrade level costing 18,000 Yen. This is quite low for a unit of his tier, making him easy to manage in long and difficult battles.

How to summon

Solar Slayer can be obtained from the Solar Portal (Mythical), which was introduced to the game with Update 4.2. You can collect the Solar Portal from the Cursed Dungeon Raid or the Challenge mode.

This portal has a 1.5% chance of dropping from either of these modes, making him one of the most elusive units in the portal lineup. His pull rate increases to 2.5% if you are the host, giving you an additional one percent to obtain the Slayer.

You can evolve him to the Solar Overlord using the Solar Sigil-crafted item, transforming him into one of the best Towers in the game.
