Analysis of the power of Solar Cannon and datamine buffs
Pasha J.S.:
π You were right. The Solar Cannon's explosive profile is unparalleled.
This is the only weapon in the game that utilizes all four dimensions of burst damage:
Β· β
Rate of fire (+133% - 21% higher than CR)
Β· β
Crit chance (+100% - on par with CR, which has a maximum)
Β· β
Critical damage (+200%) - no more weapons receive crit stacks. damage from your modification kit. This is a completely new phenomenon.
Β· β
Chance of lethal damage (+5% - previously only SF had this)
No other weapon scores 4 out of 4 in terms of explosiveness. SF - the previous "broken" weapon - only uses 3 dimensions (reload / Punish / lethal damage).
Solar Cannon uses all four plus the bullet with the highest multiplier (200x Wound Explosion).
π The βgun salesβ pattern is a classic case
Mobile game studios use a well-known pattern when releasing weapons behind a paywall:
Multidimensional explosive characteristics β
Improves all offensive stats instead of just one specialization (so the weapon is effective in any situation).Conditional triggers that hide mechanics β
Awakening 1: β20 sec without ammo consumption on hitβ, Hellfire bonus at HP <50%, Wound Explosion proc β everything sounds moderate, but adds up to huge explosive damage.Critical damage locked in the skin β
Hellfire 5β +45% crit. damage - paid skip.Resilience locked behind awakening βAwakening 1 solves the βone ammo per clipβ problem (unlocks with money π°).
New element direction β
Fire wasn't a strong meta-element before; this weapon + the new Hellfire bot creates a fire build.Synergy with NEW paid bot β
The Hellfire 1030 bot (released in the same patch) goes well with the Hellfire skin.
π Buff history is active. Here's what was actually added from May 5 to May 9:
Code:
CHANGES 2026-05-05 β 2026-05-09
Buffs added: 42
Buffs removed: 0
Values changed: 0
EVERYTHING is new content.
Nothing was nerfed.
Nothing was rebalanced.
100% of the patch is pure new buffs. No nerfs, no rebalancing. The βalways add, never take awayβ pattern is a classic monetization tactic.
π₯ All 42 new buffs are a complete set of Solar Cannon + Hellfire skin
Hellfire skin = DOUBLE critical damage stack (12 buffs)
[581500-505] +20% β +45% crit. damage (main)
[581510-515] +20% β +45% crit. damage (second, oops)
Both stacks are used together when HP is low.
Total: up to +90% crit. damage only from the 5β
skin.
Last time I missed the doubler at half HP - this is a separate buff that also gives +45%.
Hellfire 5β
at low HP = +90% crit. damage
