The Solar Eye Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon that drops from the Eclipxie. It summons a solar eye minion that normally orbits around the player, each at a differing distances if multiple are summoned and passing through tiles freely. When in range of an enemy, the solar eye will charge at it and begin spinning on contact, sliding out a fairly long distance past the point of impact while spraying out damaging embers, briefly inflicting both On Fire! and Frostburn with each hit.

It is specialized in attacking large crowds of enemies as opposed to the similar-tier Xeno Staff, its widespread attack patterns allowing it to deal many hits over a large area. Like other minions, the summoned solar eye is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, exits the world, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff. It is the Eclipxie counterpart of the Solar Scarab Staff.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. While Mythical provides the widest array of stat bonuses, these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage mythical has over ruthless is knockback.
