NPC Saber from ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' [[spoiler: ''VideoGame/FateExtra'', who is actually Gawain]] Gawain, uses Excalibur Galatine, {{Excalibur}}'s sister sword, which 'glows with heat rays of the sun'. He also is [[spoiler: [[NoSell immune to your attacks attacks]] as long as the sun is shining]] shining thanks to his Skill "Numeral of the Saint" (though lore-wise it "just" triples his power and stats), which is usually all the time during the tournament.tournament. [[spoiler:You need to manually hack the system to "turn off" the sun.]]


Added DiffLines:

** ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'':
*** Gawain returns still possessing "Numeral of the Saint", which is further compounded in his appearance as an enemy in the Sixth Singularity where he has received a [[SuperEmpowering blessing]] from the Lion King that ensures the sun will ''always'' be shining down on him whenever he makes an appearance. [[spoiler:It takes a powerful sandstorm from First Hassan blotting out the sun to neutralize the blessing, though as it turns out [[JustToyingWithThem he didn't need it to overpower Gawain]].]] [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration In gameplay]], Gawain's Numeral of the Saint Skill gives additional effects if the battlefield is classified as "Sunlight", and a later BalanceBuff to his Charisma Skill into "Nightless Charisma" allows him to turn the battlefield to "Sunlight" for one turn upon activation.
*** Tam Lin Gawain, [[spoiler:also known as Black Dog Barghest]], as part of receiving Gawain's power from [[TheArchmage High Queen Morgan]] during the events of the Sixth Lostbelt also has "Numeral of the Saint" to boost her power while the sun shines. [[spoiler:In Barghest's case, however, it's actually a PowerLimiter; as a nocturnal faerie who is at her strongest at night, the blessing not only screws with her ability to gain power at night but also isn't as effective as it should be during the day when she would be weaker. Despite this, she's still as strong as Gawain with his sun-boosted strength, and upon losing Gawain's power thanks to Chaldea her strength ''balloons'' even higher as she can now draw upon her ApocalypseMaiden powers in full.]]

* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoyaiba'':
** The Demon Slayer Corps wields Nichirin Swords, which are forged from a special ore with the rather unique property of constantly absorbing sunlight. This makes Nichirin Swords the ideal weapons to use when killing [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]], [[WeakenedByTheLight who have a crippling intolerance to sunlight]].
** [[spoiler:While Breathing Styles grant their users an edge when it comes to fighting demons, it is eventually revealed that they are all derived from Sun Breathing, which was created specifically to slay [[BigBad Muzan Kibutsuji]] by destroying his seven hearts and five brains even as they shift positions inside his body. Usage of Sun Breathing allows the user to mimic the movements of the sun while breathing in such a way that they will not get exhausted even if they fight for a prolonged amount of time.]]

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGate3'', while at Rosymorn Monastery, you come across a large crystalline telescope shaped weapon called The Solar Lance, which shoots concentrated beams of sunlight. It's purpose is to protect the treasure called the The Morninglord and if you take the treasure and set off the security, the Solar Lance will activate and shoot a ray of sunlight powerful enough to destroy the temple and everyone in it.

** The later entries ''Lunar Knights'' and ''VideoGame/Kura5BondsOfTheUndying'' both also feature the Solar Gun, albeit without the Solar Sensor that draws from real world sunlight, instead keeping the solar power strictly in-universe. The latter does have in-game weather change to adapt to the real world, however, making it possible for strong real life sunlight to be transferred into the game setting.



** The Gun Del Sol is also a weapon (in this case, a chip) in the ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' series. True to form, it's more effective when jacked in to an outdoor location.

* ''Literature/ThePerfectRun'': Leo Hargrave is known as "Leo the Living Sun". He can transform into a humanoid star, granting him [[GravityMaster control over his own gravity]], [[FlyingBrick extreme durability and matter regeneration]], [[TheAgeless stopped aging]] when in this form, and strong enough [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinetic powers]] that he must constantly hold himself back to prevent being a PersonOfMassDestruction. Before he got his powers, he was [[spoiler:[[PowerStereotypeFlip a fireman]]]].

* Illari from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' is the last of the [[Myth/IncaMythology Inti Warriors]], who was able to harness the power of the sun at a very young age ([[WhereIWasBornAndRazed but at a great cost]]). Her Solar Rifle uses the sun's power to both heal allies and shoot enemies, and her ultimate ability fires a ball of solar energy that triggers an explosion when enough damage is dealt.

* ''WebVideo/NewLifeSMP'':
** The Sunshine Girl origin, held by Shelby in her first life, is entirely based around the Sun. They gain a special meter so long as they are in direct sunlight, while it slowly decreases if they are away from it (e.g. at night or underground), even when going under water. Even in the shade, they glow with little particles, and can [[LightEmUp fire off a beam of light]] which briefly grants the Glowing and Regeneration effects to the target. They also have limited GreenThumb abilities, being able to accelerate crop growth ''à la'' bone-meal with their stored sunlight, and gain the Speed effect in the rain.
** To a lesser extent, {{the Phoenix}} origin can Rejuvenate from their Reborn form to their Normal form under direct sunlight, and receive a speed boost on land or in the air while under the Sun.
