Abilities And Mechanics

• The solar beam travels along your aim, up to 32 blocks. It stops at a blocking surface, damages the first living target in its path for 8 damage, and sets that target on fire for 5 seconds.
• Firing the beam starts a 4-second cooldown.
• While you hold the axe up to block, living mobs other than players within about 3 blocks are set on fire about once per second.
• A melee hit also sets its target on fire for 5 seconds.
