Hyper Light Breaker's huge procedurally-generated world of Overgrowth is mostly empty and a chore to get through — if you don't make use of your Hoverboard. The thing is, you actually can have your Hyper Light Breaker Hoverboard since the very start of the game — sort of.
The Hoverboard operates much like the Hyper Light Breaker sprint mechanic, boosting your movement speed to traverse vast distances swiftly while your Energy depletes gradually. This guide provides insights on riding your Hoverboard and highlights key features that enhance its utility beyond mere transportation through the Overgrowth.
All a player of Hyper Light Breaker has to do to initiate sprinting and summon a Hoverboard is hold the Dodge button. Click the Dodge button once, and suddenly your Breaker bursts forward, leaping elegantly onto a Hoverboard.
Cruising on a Hoverboard is ridiculously simple: Lean the Hoverboard by flicking the left analog stick in any direction, and you'll gradually veer in that direction - how this works depends on your current speed. Cruising at top speed turns are sluggish, but at slower speeds you'll find it much easier to stay in control.
To stop your Hoverboard, simply release the Dodge input. The Hyper Light Drifter Hoverboard will auto-de-summon if your Energy is depleted while you are on it.
Your Energy level is visible right beside your Breaker's companion whenever you're on the Hoverboard or using the Glider. If the battery gets low, step off for a second to let the Hoverboard recharge and get back on the track without unexpected dismounts that may disrupt a smooth ride.
While there is no specific way to do tricks or start attacking while on a Hoverboard, Hyper Light Breaker does introduce some key features and special abilities with the Hoverboard that you should know. Feel the Hoverboard skate across the water with abandon – yes, you can finally love the inlets and rivers that break through the Overgrowth with abandon. Whether you are gliding along the land or skimming across the water, the Hoverboard provides the same thrilling experience.
In order to Hoverboard across the surface, you have to already be riding when you hit the water; it's not possible to summon one while submerged. No matter how high you jump or how fast you dive down, the Hoverboard pops back to the surface with ease as your Breaker swims along with it.
Press and hold the default Jump input while moving on a Hoverboard to start crouching in preparation to make a leap. Though double jumping isn't an option with the use of a Hoverboard, moving with extra speed gives way to cover farther distances as well as gaps quite smoothly. However, Ducking will not boost movement and jump or add any height-either for fans expecting to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater-no it may will have an accurate jump perfectly in sync, however.
This is all you need to know How To Summon A Hoverboard in Hyper Light Breaker and get the most out of it in the game.
