Mastering Hyper Light Breaker's Hoverboard: A Comprehensive Guide
The sprawling Synthwave landscape of Hyper Light Breaker's Overgrowth can feel daunting, but the Hoverboard offers a solution. This guide explains how to utilize this crucial, yet un-explained, movement mechanic.
Summoning the Hoverboard
Accessing the Hoverboard is surprisingly simple: hold down the Dodge button. Your Breaker will dash, then automatically mount the Hoverboard as long as you continue holding the button.
Hoverboard control is intuitive. The left analog stick controls direction; leaning is gradual and speed-dependent. Turning is slower at higher speeds. Release the Dodge button to dismount. The Hoverboard will also automatically deactivate if your Energy depletes. Your current Energy level is displayed beside your Breaker's companion. Remember to dismount briefly to recharge if your Energy runs low to avoid unexpected dismounts.
Advanced Hoverboard Techniques and Uses
While the Hoverboard lacks tricks or combat capabilities, it offers significant advantages:
-
Water Navigation: The Hoverboard effortlessly floats on water, eliminating the need to circumvent water bodies. However, you must already be on the Hoverboard to traverse water; it won't summon while submerged.
-
Enhanced Jumping: Holding the Jump button while on the Hoverboard allows for a controlled crouch, facilitating precise long jumps. While this doesn't increase speed or jump height, it improves jump timing for challenging gaps.
This guide equips you to navigate Hyper Light Breaker's world efficiently. Utilize the Hoverboard's unique attributes to overcome obstacles and explore the Overgrowth with ease.
