Hyper Light Breaker Character Guide: Unlockable Breakers and Playstyles
Hyper Light Breaker offers a diverse roster of characters, each with unique playstyles. This guide covers all currently available characters and how to unlock them in the early access version.
Unlocking New Characters:
To unlock new characters, you'll need Abyss Stones, obtained by defeating Crowns (bosses). First, locate Prisms (represented by golden diamond icons on the map) to access boss arenas. After defeating a Crown, return to the Cursed Outpost teleporter and select the Breaker you wish to unlock using your accumulated Abyss Stones. Currently, only two characters are unlockable via this method; the process for future characters may differ.
All Characters and SyComs:
Each character starts with a SyCom, defining their base stats and core perk, significantly impacting their playstyle.
Vermillion:
- Default SyCom: Gunslinger: Favors ranged combat; critical hits guarantee a subsequent crit.
- Unlockable SyCom: Tank: Rewards perfect parries with increased armor; boasts superior defensive and melee stats.
Lapis:
- Default SyCom: Lightweaver: Boosts Rail shot damage after collecting a Battery.
- Unlockable SyCom: Warrior: Increases core stats with each upgrade, making her exceptionally powerful late-game.
Goro:
- Default SyCom: Astrologer: Accelerates Blade skill charge while shooting.
- Unlockable SyCom: Sniper: Significantly increases critical hit rate; a high-risk, high-reward option.
This guide will be updated as more characters and unlock methods become available in future updates.
