Quick Links
Navigating the expansive and often desolate Synthwave world of the Overgrowth in Hyper Light Breaker can be daunting, but fear not—with the Hoverboard, you can transform your journey into a thrilling ride. This essential tool is available right from the start of the game, yet it's not explicitly highlighted, so let's dive into how you can harness its full potential.
The Hoverboard serves as your primary sprint mechanism, significantly boosting your movement speed across vast distances while gradually depleting your Energy. This guide will walk you through summoning and mastering your Hoverboard, as well as explore its unique features that go beyond mere transportation.
How To Summon A Hoverboard In Hyper Light Breaker
Summoning your Hoverboard in Hyper Light Breaker is straightforward. Just hold down the Dodge input, and your character will dash forward, seamlessly transitioning onto the Hoverboard as you maintain the input.
Controlling the Hoverboard is intuitive. Use the left analog stick to lean and steer in any direction. The faster you go, the slower your turns will be, so managing your speed is key to navigating effectively.
To dismount the Hoverboard, simply release the Dodge input. Be mindful of your Energy level, displayed next to your Breaker's companion. If your Energy runs dry, the Hoverboard will automatically disappear, leaving you stranded. Take breaks to let your Energy recover and avoid unexpected dismounts.
Hoverboard Movement Tips & Special Uses
While you won't be performing stunts or combat moves on your Hoverboard, it offers several practical advantages. One standout feature is its ability to float on water, allowing you to traverse the Overgrowth's rivers and inlets without interruption. Remember, you must be riding the Hoverboard before entering the water; it won't summon once you're already submerged.
Additionally, holding down the Jump input while on the Hoverboard lets you duck and prepare for jumps. Although you can't double-jump, the increased speed helps you leap across wider gaps. This ducking maneuver doesn't boost your speed or jump height, but it's crucial for timing those challenging jumps accurately.
Mastering the Hoverboard in Hyper Light Breaker can significantly enhance your exploration and enjoyment of the game. Embrace its versatility and let it guide you through the Overgrowth's vast landscapes.
