The '''solar fan''' is a recurring weapon in the series, and is one of the most powerful [[Fan Weapon Family|fan weapons]] available. Sizzling with the might of Sol, it roasts whole groups of enemies when swung.
==Appearances==
==={{DQ6}}===
The solar fan may be equipped by [[Milly]] and the assorted slime buddies, increase their attack and style by +110 and +49 respectively and enabling them to attack a group of foes at once. The fan is available for purchase in [[Despairia]] for 22,000, and it's style can be bolstered to +67 after being reworked at the [[Fashion Forge]] for 16,000.

The fan gains a high style bonus when paired with the [[dancer's costume]], yielding a total of +132 when both items are touched up at the forge.

==={{DQ7}}===
The solar fan features the same attributes as in the previous game, and can be wielded by the game's two heroines: [[Maribel]] and [[Aishe]]. In the original PSX version the game the fan can be bought in the "Grand Cathedral" version of the [[Immigrant town]] for 22,000 gold. In the 3DS remake, all versions of the town building sidequest were condensed into a single locale and the fan became a reward for the lucky panel mini-game. Additionally, it is also a reward for completing various tablet dungeons.

==={{DQ8}}===
The [[Nintendo 3DS|portable port]] of the eighth game adds fans as a weapon category for the newly playable [[Red]], with the solar fan being one of her best. When equipped, it raises the pirate's attack by +82, loses the group-targeting feature of past games, but now has a 1/8th chance to [[Paralyze]] a foe when slashing. The fan is only available via alchemy:
