Hyper Light Breaker Character Guide: Unlockable Breakers and Playstyles

Hyper Light Breaker offers diverse gameplay through its selection of characters, known as Breakers. Each Breaker possesses unique playstyles determined by their SyComs (core perks and stats). This guide covers all currently available Breakers and their unlock methods (note: this reflects the early access version).

How to Unlock New Characters

To unlock new Breakers, you'll need Abyss Stones, obtained by defeating Crowns (bosses). Access Crown arenas using Prisms, found throughout the map (indicated by golden diamond icons). After defeating a Crown, return to the Cursed Outpost teleporter and use your Abyss Stones to unlock a chosen Breaker. While nine characters exist, only a few are currently unlockable via this method.

All Breakers and Their SyComs

Each Breaker starts with a default SyCom, but often has an additional unlockable one. The SyCom significantly impacts a Breaker's combat approach.

Vermillion:

• Default SyCom: Gunslinger: Favors ranged combat; critical hits guarantee a subsequent critical hit.
• Unlockable SyCom: Tank: Rewards perfect parries with increased armor; boasts better 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; becomes exceptionally powerful late-game.

Goro:

• Default SyCom: Astrologer: Accelerates Blade skill charge while shooting.
• Unlockable SyCom: Sniper: Significantly increases critical hit rate. High damage output but lacks defensive capabilities.

This guide will be updated as more Breakers become available in future updates.
