Abilities
- Fireball
- Beam
- Resists Fire
Like Solar Elementals, the less powerful variant, they have fire resistance and the ability to cast 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.
Due to their powerful nature they make a great early target for

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?]
- Prayer Guard became Solar Elemental and Solar Guard.
- Blackguard Scout became Solar Scout
- Blackguard Elite became Solaris Elite
- Blackguard Mage became Solarsworn Archmage
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.
