Solar Beam is a blast pickaxe enchant that calls a beam of fire down from the sky onto the block you mined and then blasts a large sphere of blocks around it.
Effect#
- Each time you mine a block, Solar Beam rolls a chance of 0.05% per level, up to 5% at level 100.
- When it triggers, a column of flame and firework particles falls onto the mined block over 1.5 seconds.
- When the beam lands, every block in a sphere of radius 5 around the mined block breaks (515 blocks, about 11 blocks across).
- Only blocks that belong to your mine are broken, and unbreakable blocks are skipped.
- Blocks broken this way pay out like blocks you mine yourself: tokens go to your balance and drops go to your backpack, and Fortune and Token Finder apply to them. Blocks broken by an enchant never roll for other enchants, so enchants do not chain.
- It does not trigger in prestige mines.
Levels#
| Level | Chance per block mined |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.05% (1 in 2,000) |
| 5 | 0.25% (1 in 400) |
| 10 | 0.5% (1 in 200) |
| 25 | 1.25% (1 in 80) |
| 50 | 2.5% (1 in 40) |
| 75 | 3.75% (1 in 27) |
| 100 | 5% (1 in 20) |
The sphere is the same at every level. The level only changes how often it triggers. Each rebirth raises the maximum level by 10.
A chat message ("Your Solar Beam enchant activated!") confirms each trigger unless you have switched enchant activation messages off in your options.
Cost and unlocking#
It unlocks at Prestige 6 and shows as Legendary in the enchant menu. Level 1 costs 300,000 tokens, and each further level costs more, following the formula on Pickaxe Enchant Costs. Your purchase cap is level 89 at Prestige 6 and reaches the full 100 levels at Prestige 7 (Pickaxe Enchant Caps). The maximum level rises by 10 with every rebirth.
Notes#
- The blast comes after the 1.5 second animation, so the blocks vanish a moment after the message appears.
- The sphere is bigger than Cluster Bomb's blasts but it is a single centred blast.
