Mastering Hyper Light Breaker's Hoverboard: A Comprehensive Guide
The sprawling, Synthwave landscape of Hyper Light Breaker's Overgrowth can feel daunting to navigate. Fortunately, you have access to a hidden speed boost from the very beginning: the Hoverboard. This guide details how to use it effectively.
How to Summon the Hoverboard
Summoning the Hoverboard is surprisingly simple. Just hold down your Dodge button. Your character will dash forward and automatically mount the Hoverboard as long as you continue holding the button.
Hoverboard Controls and Deactivation
Movement is intuitive. The left analog stick controls direction; leaning increases with speed, making sharp turns 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 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 attacks, its capabilities extend beyond simple traversal.
-
Water Navigation: The Hoverboard effortlessly floats on water, eliminating the need to circumvent bodies of water. However, you must already be on the Hoverboard before entering the water for it to function.
-
Controlled Jumps: Holding the Jump button while on the Hoverboard allows for a controlled crouch before jumping, improving jump accuracy for precise maneuvers. While this doesn't increase jump height or speed, it enhances timing for challenging gaps.
With these techniques, navigating the Overgrowth becomes significantly easier and more efficient. Enjoy the ride!
