This is paraphrased from a WW thread.

First, the basic Solar defence was taken to be the two persistent defences

:Flow Like Blood

Fivefold Bulwark Stance

Improving the Solar Defence

• As an alternative to FFBS, use Steel Devil Style (from CB:Night) and add counterattacks
• Heavenly Guardian Defence (for a perfect point defence)
• Seven Shadows Evasion (for a perfect dodge of any dodgeable attack)
• Golden Essence Block (to improve the parry)
• Reed in the Wind (to improve the dodge)
• Leaping Dodge Method (to move away from the attacker)
• Ebon Shadow Form (adds Essence to difficulty to be hit)
• Five Dragon Blocking (adds Essence dice to parries)
• Stealth charms to make you invisible
• Flame Flicker Stance (increase difficulty to be hit for a turn)
• Thunderbolt Shield (Orichalcum or Soulsteel especially)
• The Presence and Socialise charms

• Walking Outside Fate? (Sidereal)

Getting Through the Solar Defence

• Perfect Attack Charms
  • Accuracy Without Distance (Solar Archery)
  • Lightning Stroke Attack (Lunar Ranged)
  • Owl Seizes Mouse (Abyssal Brawl)
• Undodgeable Charms
  • Cascade of Cutting Terror
• Unparryable Charms
  • Solar Brawl charm
  • Sidereal Thrown charm
  • Sidereal Brawl charm
• Charms that "go around" such things
  • Hungry Earth Strike
  • Foe Taunting Method
• Surprise attacks, including charms
  • Blow Concealing Gesture
• Multi-attack charm from a high Dex lunar (it may take a few shots, but he will hit)
• Dice subtractors
  • Shrouded Claw Attack
• Parry reduction charms
  • Ferocious Biting Sword
  • Tiger Claw Swat
• Dice Adders
  • Precision of the Striking Raptor (especially with CoCT)
  • Spine Shattering Bite
  • Excellent Strike
  • Wise Arrow
• Attacks before the dual defences are up
• When the Solar attacks, break that weapon that is being used to create the persistent defence
  • Weapon Breaking Defence Technique
• Sorcery that can't be dodged or parried
  • Titan's Icy Breath (possibly with Paralyzing Contradiction first, to prevent perfect defences)
  • Thunder Wolf Howl
  • Internal Flame

Alternatives to the Dodgeparry

• Range + Archery (possibly with stealth)
• Attack quickly with high dice pools that don't require essence
