Solar Damage
Information
Type	Weapon Perk
Description	This weapon causes Solar damage.

Solar Damage is one of four damage types that can be inflicted by weapons in Destiny. When damaging an enemy's shield in PvE activities, Solar rounds deal 100% of their normal damage values against Arc and Void shields while inflicting double (200%) damage to Solar shields. Note, however, that the Match Game modifier on Heroic or Nightfall strikes will impose a significant (~75%) damage penalty when facing Arc and Void shields with this damage type.

Grenades, Melee attacks, and Super Abilities of the following subclasses inflict Solar Damage:

• Sunbreaker
• Sunsinger
• Gunslinger

Other damage types:

• Kinetic Damage
• Arc Damage
• Void Damage
