'''Solar Guard''' is a [[monster]] found in [[The Solaris Temple]] and related areas. It is a [[golem (monster type)|golem]] (internal name: "Holy Fire Elemental"). It has its own internal subtype "HolyFireElementalSolarisChampion".


'''Solar Guard''' is an uncommon [[Monster|monster]] type with simliar patterns to [[index.php?title=Solar_elemental|Solar Elementals]] and can be found in [[The_Solaris_Temple_Level_1_(Act_8)|The Solaris Temple (Act 8)]]. Like their less powerful versions they have [[Resistance|fire resistance]], the ability to cast yellow Fireballs as well as an instantaneous beam-attack which - upon impact - deals a great amount of [[Area_of_effect|AoE]] damage. Both attacks deal [[fire damage]].
The map mod {{ml|MapMonsterPacksSolarisMapWorlds_}} can spawn Solar Guards and other similar monsters as "Solaris fanatics".
 
Due to their more powerful nature they make a great target for [[Raise Spectre]], paired with Gems like [[Spell Echo]] and [[Controlled Destruction]] to further enhance DPS.
 
Usually they are standing in links like [[Greater Multiple Projectiles Support]], [[Minion Damage Support]], [[Elemental Focus Support]], [[Spell Echo Support]],[[Pierce Support]](for mapping) or [[Faster Projectiles Support]](for fast bosses) or [[Slower Projectiles Support]](for slow bosses). In build with [[Tukohama's Vanguard]] for solo target DPS and Solar Guards for mapping usually their supports same, but versus last support [[Fire Penetration Support]], it grants less damage but help to not change colours of sockets in gear.

Like [[Solar Elemental]]s, the less powerful variant, they have [[fire resistance]] and the ability to cast [[Fireball|Fireballs]]. However, Solar Guards fire only a single Fireball, while Solar Elementals cast Fireball as a nova which has a total of 9 projectiles.

Solar Guard also has a beam skill: SpecialBeamCannon, which has a charge up time and deals - upon impact - a great amount of AoE damage. Both Fireball (id: HolyFireElementalFireball) and the beam skill deal fire damage.

Trivia

There is no official lore on the official website or from in-game environmental objects. However, since Solar Guard is spawned along with Solaris Elite, probably after the fall of the High Templar Avarius (as well as the wake up of gods due to The Beast being killed), these templars under the High Templar seem to change to be loyal to Solaris instead. [guesswork?]

The 3D model resembles a humanoid but it does not have humanoid tag, but construct, stone_construct, templar internal tags. Solar Guard is similar to Prayer Guard that can be found in The Chamber of Innocence, but larger in 3D model and apparently stronger as a spectre.
