Solar is a scaling Trait built around empowering your entire team through durable shields and increasing damage. As you collect unique 3-star champions, Solar unlocks powerful upgrades, eventually allowing your 3-star units to ascend into 4-star champions during combat. Building the right frontline and carry is the key to maximizing this Trait’s late-game potential.

How to Play Solar in TFT Set 18
Solar is a scaling trait that becomes stronger as you upgrade champions to 3 stars. Your priority is to build a stable economy, reroll for key units, and unlock the powerful Solar bonuses that eventually transform your 3-star champions into temporary 4-star units during combat.
Early Game
- Play the strongest board available while collecting Solar champions.
- Prioritize economy by reaching 50 Gold as quickly as possible.
- Hold copies of Kayle, Leona, Lux (Solar), and Sejuani to prepare for rerolling.
- Build flexible AP or tank items that can be used by your main carries later.
Mid Game
- Slow roll at the appropriate level to 3-star your key Solar champions.
- Activate the Solar trait as soon as possible to gain extra shields and bonus magic damage.
- Strengthen your frontline with Leona and Sejuani while allowing Kayle or Lux (Solar) to deal sustained damage.
Late Game
- Complete as many unique 3-star Solar champions as possible to unlock the trait’s strongest effects.
- Position your carries safely behind your tanks.
- Add powerful utility or frontline units that complement the Solar core without sacrificing your main synergies.
- Once your 3-star champions ascend to 4 stars during combat, your team becomes significantly stronger and can overwhelm most opponents.
Tips for Playing Solar
- Prioritize economy over aggressive leveling so you can afford rerolls.
- Focus on completing multiple unique 3-star champions instead of chasing expensive legendary units.
- Build durable tanks to maximize the value of Solar’s shields.
- Scout other players to avoid contesting the same reroll champions.
- Position your carries away from Assassins and enemy crowd control to maximize their damage output.
