Build Details
Now, there are better Shards of Galanor builds than this, and I am personally not great with this one, but it is fun to play. So, here is the worst solar build ever.
The main two parts of this build are Shards of Galanor and Prometheus Lens. Shards of Galanor refunds Blade Barrage energy on hits, granting at max(I think) 50% super returns. It also grants super energy for throwing knife throws. Pretty self sustaining concept there, but the community has discovered that applying scorch, getting kills with it(possibly), and ignitions also grant super energy, which is where Prometheus Lens comes in.
Prometheus Lens is fun to use. It may not have the raw power that Dragons Breath does, but it is satisfying and effective to just light an entire room on fire while firing a 600 round magazine. This weapon scorches on sustained damage, as well as creating this big fire bubble that grows with sustained firing. Prometheus also reloads the magazine on kill.
Prometheus can then burn through an entire room, essentially firing from your reserves, and recharge your super. Now, I don't know if this is true, but I think you can burn yourself in the bubble. I would suggest that you put a little bit of space in between you and your target before melting things. Which brings me to my next point:
Prometheus is pretty terrible for damage. It feels good to burn the entire room, but it's single enemy damage is terrible. Just don't even try to use this for boss damage. It has some of the best (and I think the best for exotic) ammo reserves for a trace rifle. You could probably unload the entire reserves into a boss if it is surrounded with red bar enemies, but this is still no Agers, Cold Heart, or Ruinous. All of this to say, this will probably not work well in DPS.
You will mostly be relying on Blade Barrage for DPS, so try to maximize you super spam. Prometheus, Shards, and your knife will do a lot, but to go the extra mile, equip a machine gun with incandescent.
Also try to maximize your grenade and Gunpowder Gamble, as your grenade will ad more scorch, and Gunpowder Gamble will just flat out ignite things.
