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 new ones. Note that this reflects the early access version; more characters may be added.
How to Unlock New Characters
To unlock new Breakers, you'll need Abyss Stones, obtained by defeating Crowns (bosses). First, locate Prisms (represented by golden diamond icons on the map). Prisms act as keys to access boss arenas. After defeating a Crown, return to the Cursed Outpost teleporter and select the Breaker you wish to unlock. Use your accumulated Abyss Stones to add them to your roster. Currently, only two characters are unlockable via this method; the process for future characters may differ.
All Characters and SyComs
Each Breaker starts with a SyCom, defining their base stats and core abilities, significantly impacting their playstyle.
Vermillion:
- Default SyCom: Gunslinger: Favors ranged combat; critical hits on Rail shots 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 firing.
- Unlockable SyCom: Sniper: Significantly increases critical hit rate. A high-risk, high-reward ranged character.
This guide will be updated as new characters and unlock methods become available in Hyper Light Breaker.
