Mastering Hyper Light Breaker's Hoverboard: A Comprehensive Guide
Hyper Light Breaker's Overgrowth is vast, and traversing its randomly generated Synthwave landscape can be challenging without utilizing the game's often-overlooked Hoverboard. This guide details how to use this essential movement tool, highlighting its features and strategic advantages. You have access to the Hoverboard from the very beginning!
How to Summon the Hoverboard
Summoning the Hoverboard is straightforward: simply hold down the Dodge button. Your Breaker will dash forward and automatically mount the Hoverboard as long as you continue holding the Dodge button.
Hoverboard Controls and Deactivation
Movement is intuitive. Holding the left analog stick steers the Hoverboard, with turning speed varying based on your current velocity. To dismount, release the Dodge button. The Hoverboard will also automatically deactivate if your Energy depletes.
Energy Management
Your current Energy level is displayed next to your Breaker's companion. Monitor this closely; running out of Energy while on the Hoverboard will cause you to dismount. It's advisable to dismount briefly to replenish your Energy if it gets low.
Advanced Hoverboard Techniques and Uses
While the Hoverboard doesn't allow for tricks or combat, it offers several key advantages:
-
Water Navigation: The Hoverboard floats on water, eliminating the need to circumvent water bodies. To use it on water, you must already be riding the Hoverboard when you enter the water.
-
Controlled Jumps: While on the Hoverboard, holding the Jump button allows you to crouch and prepare for a jump, enhancing jump precision for challenging gaps. Note that you cannot double-jump while on the Hoverboard.
By mastering these techniques, you'll significantly improve your traversal speed and overall gameplay experience in Hyper Light Breaker.
