Selenian drops nothing in the game's drop rules.

Acrobatic solar warriors wielding curved deflection blades

Selenians are agile celestial duelists that defend the blazing perimeter of the Solar Pillar. Armed with blazing dual scythes, they leap into battle with 800 life and 30 defense. Sprinting forward across ash ground, their swift slashing attacks deliver 90 base contact damage, keeping players under relentless melee pressure.

Countering lethal projectile reflection during blade spins

The Selenian’s most dangerous ability is its acrobatic spinning dash. While curled into a spinning fiery wheel, it reflects incoming player projectiles directly back at the attacker with high accuracy. Ranged and magic users who fire bullets, arrows, or spells into a spinning Selenian can kill themselves with their own reflected shots. Melee weapons, non-reflectable magic like lasers, or waiting until the spin finishes are crucial survival tactics. Entering Master mode scales the duelist’s vitality to 2,400 life while its flaming blade cuts deal 270 damage.

Trivia

  • While spinning in its bladed wheel animation, the Selenian reflects player projectiles back at the player.
  • Attacking a spinning Selenian with high-damage ranged weapons can result in self-inflicted death.
