Solar Sword

The Solar Sword is a melee short range weapon in Space Junkies.

The player activates the sword by reaching behind their back as though they were pulling it from a sheath. The sword is energy based. When swung, it will release an energy arc in front of it that does damage. Each swing put the sword on a short cooldown. This weapon works well paired with the Photon Shield.

The sword can additionally be used to stab opponents. While this does substantially less damage, it does not put the sword on cooldown. Slashing is still usually the most useful method of sword wielding as it is a guaranteed kill.
