Overview

Sunlight Champion is the fourth Incursion Boss, fought alongside Moonlight Dancer in the Sun Arena Trial Incursion. It can only appear in that incursion, and can be spawned with the boss portal immediately after entering. Before starting the fight, it is recommended to fill the lava pit in the arena, since the battle requires a great deal of movement and the arena itself can become dangerous during the fight.

This boss is a fast, highly mobile enemy that will follow the player throughout the encounter. It appears as a floating suit of armor with no legs and a flaming eye for a head, moving by means of a fire jet beneath its body. Its gauntlets act independently from the main body, chasing and circling the player while the boss closes in from other angles. Both the body and the gauntlets deal heavy contact damage, so staying in motion and avoiding direct collisions is essential.

Sunlight Champion also fires small solar flares that explode after a few seconds, adding delayed area damage to the fight. In addition, it has a lethal attack capable of instantly killing the player. When it begins charging this move, the safest response is to move away from it as quickly as possible and create as much distance as the arena allows. After the charge, the boss releases a massive explosion with a wide radius outward from its position, making nearby players almost certain to die if they fail to retreat in time.

The gauntlets can be dodged with careful movement, since they turn with a wide radius and are fairly predictable while the boss still has high health. As the fight progresses and its HP drops, however, the gauntlets become much faster and more erratic, making the encounter increasingly dangerous. Because the boss combines direct pursuit, independent sub-attacks, delayed explosions, and a sudden kill move, the battle strongly rewards consistency and spacing over aggressive close-range pressure.

A few things make the fight notably easier:

  • Keep moving at all times to avoid the body, gauntlets, and delayed flare explosions.
  • Save your escape route for the boss’s charging instakill attack and immediately disengage when it begins.
  • Use buffs from potions and food to improve survivability and mobility.
  • Weapons with homing or bouncing effects, such as Chromatic Spellbook or Void Bullet, help maintain damage while allowing the player to focus on dodging.
  • Filling the lava pit before the fight can reduce environmental risk and make movement safer.
