Mastering Hyper Light Breaker's Hoverboard: A Comprehensive Guide
The sprawling, procedurally generated Overgrowth in Hyper Light Breaker can feel overwhelming without efficient traversal. Fortunately, the game features a Hoverboard, accessible from the very beginning, acting as a crucial sprint mechanic. This guide details its summoning, controls, and unique capabilities.
How to Summon the Hoverboard
Activating the Hoverboard is straightforward: simply hold down the Dodge button. Your character will dash forward and automatically mount the Hoverboard as long as you maintain the Dodge input.
Hoverboard Controls
Movement is intuitive. Holding the left analog stick steers the Hoverboard, with turning responsiveness varying based on speed. High speeds result in slower turns, while lower speeds offer greater maneuverability. Releasing the Dodge button dismounts you, as does depleting your Energy reserves. Your current Energy level is displayed beside your companion. Remember to dismount briefly to recharge your Energy to avoid unexpected dismounts.
Advanced Hoverboard Techniques & Uses
While lacking trick or combat functionality, the Hoverboard offers significant advantages. Most notably, it floats on water, eliminating the need to navigate around water bodies. The Hoverboard's performance remains consistent on both land and water; simply ensure you're already on the Hoverboard before entering the water.
Furthermore, holding the Jump button while on the Hoverboard allows you to crouch, facilitating precise jump timing for challenging gaps. While this doesn't enhance speed or jump height, it improves accuracy. Note that double-jumping isn't possible while using the Hoverboard.
