How to Beat the Sun
A complete strategy for damaging the Sun, hitting weak points, and topping the damage leaderboard for Star rewards.
Overview
The Sun is the central PvE boss with over a million HP. Beating it isn't about soloing - it's about dealing the most damage to claim the largest share of Star rewards.
Because the reward pool is split by damage contribution, your real goal is climbing the damage leaderboard. Every extra percent of damage you contribute translates directly into more Stars at the end of the fight.
Sun Damage Strategy
A repeatable routine for maximizing your Sun damage across every attack window during a fight, no matter how strong your current holes are.
Each step increases your share of the reward pool, and timing matters more than raw hole power in most fights.
Launch when your strongest holes are ready and protected, and chain your attacks around the cooldown for steady contribution throughout the event.
Build Strong Holes
Reach late tiers for enough base damage to compete for the top reward shares.
Launch at the Sun
Send your strongest holes at the Sun the moment an attack window opens so you don't lose uptime.
Hit Weak Points
Aim for weak points the moment they spawn, since they deal heavy bonus damage and decide your leaderboard rank.
Claim Rewards
Earn Stars based on your damage share when the Sun finally falls, then reinvest them into boosts.
Why Weak Points Matter
The Sun and its planets spawn weak points during the fight. Hitting a weak point deals bonus damage, which is the key to climbing the damage leaderboard and claiming a top reward share.
Without targeting weak points, your raw damage will lag well behind players who do - even if your holes are similarly strong on paper. The multiplier is simply that large.
Weak points also appear on planets and asteroids, so keep an eye on all targets during a fight rather than tunnel-visioning the Sun itself.
Keys to Topping the Leaderboard
Three factors that decide your Sun damage rank, and which of them you can improve before the next fight begins.
Optimize all three together to maximize your Star rewards rather than relying on hole power alone to carry your share of the damage leaderboard.
Hole Power
Stronger holes deal more base damage per launch, so climbing the tier list is the foundation of every Sun run.
Weak Points
Hitting weak points adds large bonus damage and is usually what separates leaderboard winners from the rest.
Boosts
Equip a Wormhole for extra attack damage that stacks on top of your hole power during the fight.
Sun Fight Checklist
What to prepare before a Sun attack, so every launch deals its full potential damage and you don't waste attack windows.
Going in unprepared wastes your holes' damage output and hands the top reward shares to players who prepped properly before the fight started.
| Check | Why |
|---|---|
| Strong holes ready | More base damage per launch at the Sun |
| Wormhole equipped | Bonus attack damage on top of hole power |
| Shield active | Protect your base during the attack cooldown |
| Weak points targeted | Large bonus damage multiplier when hit |
Sun Fight Tips
Quick pointers for better Sun performance across every fight.
Small adjustments to timing and targeting add up to noticeably larger Star payouts over a full event.
- Earn Stars from the Sun via the Stars guide, then reinvest them into boosts that raise your damage further.
- Protect your attacking holes with best-hole protection so a raid can't remove them mid-event.
- Climb the tier list to deal more Sun damage over time, since stronger holes contribute a larger share every fight.
