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 unlocks the secrets of the Hoverboard, your key to swift traversal. While not explicitly explained in-game, the Hoverboard is available from the very beginning.
Summoning Your Hoverboard
Activating the Hoverboard is simple: hold down your Dodge button. Your Breaker will dash forward and automatically mount the Hoverboard as long as you continue holding the button.
Hoverboard controls are intuitive. The left analog stick controls direction; leaning increases with speed, making slower turns easier. Release the Dodge button to dismount, or the Hoverboard will automatically deactivate when your Energy depletes. Monitor your Energy level (displayed near your Breaker's companion) to avoid unexpected dismounts.
Advanced Hoverboard Techniques & Uses
While the Hoverboard doesn't allow tricks or attacks, its capabilities extend beyond simple speed boosts:
-
Water Navigation: The Hoverboard effortlessly floats on water, eliminating the need to circumvent waterways. However, you must already be on the Hoverboard to transition smoothly onto the water's surface.
-
Enhanced Jumps: While no double jumps are possible, holding the Jump button while on the Hoverboard allows you to crouch and prepare for a jump, improving precision for challenging gaps. Note that crouching doesn't increase speed or jump height.
By mastering these techniques, you'll conquer the Overgrowth with ease and efficiency.
