Hyper Light Breaker: Master Hoverboard Skills

Mastering Hyper Light Breaker's Hoverboard: A Comprehensive Guide

The sprawling Synthwave landscape of Hyper Light Breaker's Overgrowth can feel daunting, but fear not! This guide unveils the secrets of the game's built-in Hoverboard, a crucial tool for efficient traversal. While not explicitly explained, the Hoverboard is available from the very beginning.

Summoning Your Hoverboard

Activating the Hoverboard is simple: hold down the Dodge button. Your Breaker will dash forward and automatically mount the Hoverboard, provided you maintain the Dodge input.

Hoverboard Controls and Deactivation

Movement is intuitive. The left analog stick controls direction; leaning increases with speed, making precise maneuvering easier at lower speeds. To dismount, simply release the Dodge button. The Hoverboard will also automatically deactivate if your Energy depletes. Your current Energy level is displayed next to your Breaker's companion. Remember to dismount briefly to recharge your Energy to avoid unexpected dismounts.

Advanced Hoverboard Techniques and Uses

While the Hoverboard doesn't allow for tricks or combat, its capabilities extend beyond simple traversal. Crucially, it floats on water, eliminating the need to circumvent water bodies. The Hoverboard's functionality remains consistent on both land and water; however, you must already be on the Hoverboard before entering the water for it to function.

While riding, holding the Jump button allows you to crouch for precise jump timing, enhancing your ability to navigate challenging gaps. Note that crouching doesn't boost speed or jump height, but aids in jump accuracy. Double-jumping isn't possible while on the Hoverboard.
