Nine Sols Guides — Jades, Deflect and the Nine Sols

Nine Sols guides built around the real Jade and boss data: all 29 Jades with CPU cost and effects, all 12 bosses with Sol Seals, and how the deflect-driven combat works.

Where the numbers come from. The Jade and boss tables are built from the game wiki's own data, not from memory. The guides are judgements about that data: where a page needs an exact figure, we mark it and check it before we call it fact.

Start here

Nine Sols is a taopunk metroidvania built on the deflect. Most deaths come from dodging when you should deflect, or leaving Jade CPU unspent. Read the beginner and deflect guides first, then the Jade and boss databases.
