Mastering Hyper Light Breaker's Hoverboard: A Comprehensive Guide

The sprawling Synthwave world of Hyper Light Breaker's Overgrowth can feel daunting to navigate. Fortunately, the game features a hidden, yet essential, tool: the Hoverboard. This guide will detail how to use it and its unique attributes. Unlike many games, this crucial movement enhancer is available from the very beginning.

How to Summon Your Hoverboard

Summoning the Hoverboard is surprisingly simple. Just hold down your Dodge button. Your Breaker will dash forward and automatically mount the Hoverboard, provided you continue holding the Dodge button. Releasing the Dodge button dismounts you. The Hoverboard will also automatically deactivate if your Energy depletes. Your current Energy level is displayed near your Breaker's companion. Remember to dismount briefly to recharge your Energy to avoid unexpected dismounts.

Hoverboard Movement and Controls

Hoverboard movement is intuitive. The left analog stick controls direction. Leaning the board will initiate a turn, with turning speed correlating to your current speed (slower speeds allow for tighter turns).

Advanced Hoverboard Techniques & Uses

While the Hoverboard doesn't support tricks or combat, its functionality extends beyond simple traversal. Crucially, it floats on water, eliminating the need to circumvent water bodies. However, you must already be on the Hoverboard when entering water for it to function correctly.

The Hoverboard also allows for controlled jumps. Holding the Jump button while riding allows you to crouch, facilitating precise jump timing for challenging gaps. While this doesn't enhance jump height or speed, it improves accuracy. Note that double-jumping is not possible while on the Hoverboard.
