• This ability got reworked into the current Shine in the 7.35 gameplay patch.

• Cannot be cast on self.

• Shares cooldown with Medallion of Courage-based items.

• The effect on self and the modifier on the target are independent from each other. Dispelling the target does not remove the effect on the caster.

• Unlike Medallion, Solar Crest does not place a debuff on the caster. Instead, its effects are directly bound to its cooldown.
  • Its duration is always seconds on the target, while the duration on self varies with cooldown manipulation (i.e. cooldown reduction and resetting).
  • When the ability's cooldown is reduced, the reduction effects on self are briefer. The reduction effects on self also disappear immediately when the cooldown is refreshed.
  • This also means that the effects on self are also applied when using Medallion of Courage, since they share a cooldown.

• The armor reduction on self fully stacks. When having multiple Solar Crests, each of them reduces armor when on cooldown.

• The target buff/debuff fully stack with each other. The effects on self also stack with the target debuff.
  • When a unit is targeted by an allied and an enemy Solar Crest, the modifiers effectively cancel each other out.
  • Multiple target debuffs or target buffs do not stack but refresh their durations.
  • The target buff, target debuff and self-debuff fully stack with Valor.

• Can be cast on any unit, except on wards and buildings.

• This ability got reworked into the current Shine in the 7.20 gameplay patch.

• Cannot be cast on self.

• Shares cooldown with Medallion of Courage.

• Grants evasion for targeted allies, and accuracy to allies against targeted enemies.

• Unlike Medallion, Solar Crest does not place a debuff on the caster. Instead, its effects are directly bound to its cooldown.
  • Its duration is always 7 seconds on the target, while the duration on self can vary when the cooldown gets manipulated.
  • This means when the cooldown is reduced, the reduction effects on self are briefer. The reduction effects on self also disappear immediately when the cooldown is refreshed.
  • This also means that the effects on self are applied when using Medallion of Courage, since they share a cooldown.

• The armor reduction on self fully stacks. When having multiple Solar Crests, each of them reduce armor when on cooldown.

  • Multiple target debuffs or target buffs do not stack, but refresh their durations.
  • The target buff, target debuff and self-debuff fully stack with those applied by Medallion of Courage.

• Can be cast on any unit, except on wards and buildings.
