Mastering Hyper Light Breaker's Hoverboard: A Comprehensive Guide
The sprawling Synthwave landscape of Hyper Light Breaker's Overgrowth can feel daunting, but mastering the Hoverboard is key to efficient exploration. This guide will detail how to use this crucial, yet surprisingly un-explained, feature. You have access to the Hoverboard from the very beginning!
How to Summon the Hoverboard
Summoning the Hoverboard is simple: hold down the Dodge button. Your Breaker will dash forward and automatically mount the Hoverboard as long as you continue holding the button. Release the Dodge button to dismount. The Hoverboard will also automatically de-summon if your Energy depletes. Your current Energy level is displayed next to your Breaker's companion. Remember to dismount briefly to replenish your Energy to avoid unexpected dismounts.
Hoverboard Movement and Controls
Movement on the Hoverboard is intuitive. The left analog stick controls direction. Leaning the board by moving the stick will cause a gradual turn; turning is slower at higher speeds.
Advanced Hoverboard Techniques and Uses
While the Hoverboard doesn't allow for tricks or attacks, its capabilities extend beyond simple traversal:
-
Water Navigation: The Hoverboard floats on water, eliminating the need to circumvent water bodies. You must be already on the Hoverboard when entering the water for it to function.
-
Controlled Jumps: While riding, holding the Jump button allows for a controlled, lower profile jump. This doesn't increase jump height or speed, but aids in precise jumps across larger gaps. Note: Double jumping isn't possible while on the Hoverboard.
By mastering these techniques, you'll significantly enhance your exploration and traversal capabilities in Hyper Light Breaker.
