Navigating Hyper Light Breaker's sprawling Synthwave Overgrowth can feel like a trek, but fear not! From the very beginning, you have access to a secret weapon: the Hoverboard. While the game doesn't explicitly explain it, this handy tool dramatically improves traversal. Essentially, it's your super-charged sprint, letting you cover ground quickly while consuming Energy. This guide details how to use it and unlock its full potential.

How To Summon A Hoverboard In Hyper Light Breaker

Summoning your Hoverboard is surprisingly simple. Just hold down your Dodge button. Your Breaker will dash forward and automatically mount the Hoverboard as long as you continue holding the button.

Controlling the Hoverboard is intuitive. The left analog stick controls direction; tilting it leans the board, causing a gradual turn. Note that turning is slower at higher speeds. To dismount, simply release the Dodge button. The Hoverboard will also automatically deactivate if your Energy runs out. Keep an eye on your Energy meter (displayed next to your companion) to avoid unexpected dismounts. Give yourself a few seconds to recover your Energy before resuming your ride.

Hoverboard Movement Tips & Special Uses

While the Hoverboard doesn't allow for tricks or attacks, it offers some unexpected advantages. Most notably, it floats on water! Say goodbye to those frustrating detours around rivers and inlets. The Hoverboard functions identically on land and water. However, remember you can't summon it underwater; you must already be riding it when you enter the water.

Another useful tip: While on the Hoverboard, holding the Jump button lets you duck, which is helpful for precise jump timing, particularly over longer distances. While this doesn't boost speed or jump height, it improves accuracy.
