Become a Hyper Light Breaker hero! This guide covers all core abilities, from Shroud of Invisibility to Hellfire Swarm, with strategies for DUP enemies and bosses.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the previous mission, you'll be unable to use powers. Delsin will call Reggie. Meet him in the alley.

    At Reggie, you'll receive the Shroud of Invisibility. This power consumes Video energy and won't activate if you're too close to enemies.

  2. 2
    Follow Reggie to the first Core Relay. This will unlock your ability to attack enemies with a standard melee attack and execute/subdue enemies while invisible. Note that executing an invisible enemy immediately ends the invisibility.

    Use these abilities to fight the DUP. Use shacks for cover if injured. After Reggie is safe, lose him by running away.

  3. 3
    Eugene will direct you to the next Core Relay to gain the Video Surge ability. This is a short, fast dash that can be used to scale buildings and take out DUP snipers. A strategy is to get to a higher level, turn invisible, drop down, and take them out quietly.

    Clear out all snipers to proceed.

  4. 4
    The next Core Relay grants Bloodthirsty Blades, your Heavy Ammo ability. Hold R1 to lock on, and the blades will home in. Use two volleys to destroy the attacking chopper. A satellite dish on the roof can refill energy.

  5. 5
    The penultimate Core Relay provides your normal ranged attack, a Gatling gun-style weapon. It's not precise but deals high damage quickly. Use this against DUP Pawns, with the help of angels for support.

  6. 6
    The final Core Relay is at the base of a concrete tower. Clear the tower first. Start at the top, defeating the Knights using large pylons for cover and invisibility. On the lower levels, there will be more enemies but fewer Knights. Rooftops offer safety and a place to recharge.

    Clear the tower to reach the final relay.

  7. 7
    The final relay grants the Hellfire Swarm ability. Use this to destroy the APCs.

Tips
  • Be mindful of Video energy consumption when using Shroud of Invisibility.
  • Avoid using invisibility too close to enemies to prevent wasted energy.
  • Executing an invisible enemy immediately breaks invisibility.
  • Use shacks and pylons for cover when fighting.
  • Video Surge is effective for quick traversal and surprise attacks on snipers.
  • Bloodthirsty Blades require locking on with R1; use two volleys for the chopper.
  • The ranged attack is good for sustained damage against groups.
  • Utilize invisibility to deal with Knights efficiently.
  • Rooftops are safe zones for recharging energy.
