Every Blade in Hyper Light Breaker, Ranked

In Hyper Light Breaker, you’ll find an abundance of melee choices, ranging from powerful impact weapons to a diverse selection.

When choosing a weapon, it’s advisable to familiarize yourself with the top-performing options, as you may naturally prefer one and aim to keep it for extended periods.

In this scenario, the “Hyper Light Breaker” weapons will be graded by considering their innate powers, unique skills, and initial statistics at Level 0. Since adjusting for modifiers is not practical, we won’t take them into account during our evaluation process.

I strongly advise you to make the best decision possible, since a quality tool is usually quite good, even if it ranks lower on the scale. You might still hope for something different.

8. Bloody Pillar

Your Blood Will Be Spilled

If you’re seeking a tool for forceful, heavy-duty chopping, the Bloody Pillar definitely delivers on that front – albeit in an unsatisfying manner, as I personally prefer not to employ it.

As a gamer, I’ve found that this tool packs some serious power punches, but what truly catches my eye is its ability to supercharge my attack speed. It all seems too good to be true… until I realize the boost only hangs around for a fleeting few seconds and the damage it inflicts leaves much to be desired.

As a devoted player, I find myself steadily attacking my foes, only to momentarily accelerate for a swift melee combo. Yet, it’s back to the slow and steady grind once more.

Using the dash attack is acceptable as it allows for entry and pressure on opponents, but it becomes less effective when faced with more than two adversaries who may overwhelm you.

7. Zero Edge

But I Love Edge

The Zero Edge seems promising as a weapon, delivering powerful, wide-reaching strikes that inflict significant damage on nearby foes, yet it exposes you severely to attack.

Instead of the repeated strikes like other weapons, this one delivers heavy damage in quick, one-second bursts. This makes it vulnerable to any incoming projectiles that can’t be blocked.

The dash attack and charged attacks aren’t significantly improved. They still deliver heavy blows causing substantial damage, and the special move lacks anything to enhance its effectiveness.

If you lack a reliable firearm or powerful amplifier for your weapon, you might struggle significantly, particularly in intense battles against bosses, where quick reflexes are crucial.

6. Giant’s Needle

A Cool Toothpick

The Giant’s Needle is an unusual type of weapon, designed primarily for immobilizing opponents and creating strategic positions, rather than being used offensively. As a result, it tends to be quite divisive among users.

Indeed, there’s some validity to this idea, particularly because these special entities act as instant-release homing missiles. This makes them ideal for swiftly taking down pursuing foes when you’re on the run.

Here, the focus is on the powerful thrusting attack. With this move, you hurl the spear ahead, impaling your foes, and detonating it to inflict immense harm.

The primary reason for the Giant’s Needle’s low ranking is its extremely sluggish pace. The one advantage it offers is the use of bombs, but it lacks horizontal range, making you highly vulnerable.

5. Breaker’s Buster

Chop and Stop

Heavy weaponry presents a diverse array of characteristics, as suggested throughout this text, yet the Breaker’s Buster stands out due to its unique combination of high-risk, high-reward traits.

Using it leaves you vulnerable to some extent, but on the bright side, it allows for significant sweeping movements which are fantastic for managing crowds, and its unique ability is among the best in the game.

The powerful impact from your unique ability inflicts heavy damage, can be intensified for greater harm, and strikes almost anything straight ahead, instantly eliminating many smaller enemies with ease.

In a more straightforward manner, it’s not ideal for supervising tasks as you often need to stay alert and be quick-witted, but it’s perfect for immersing yourself in the world of Hyper Light Breaker when exploring.

4. Vector Hammer

Vector to the Heavens

In this game, there’s no doubt that the Vector Hammer stands out as the top heavy weapon. Its might is almost overwhelming, yet it encounters challenges when facing an unyielding barrier. At such moments, something has to adapt or yield.

This weapon boasts an extensive reach and is capable of defeating many mini-bosses with only a few strikes. Conversely, mini-bosses can deal significant damage to you in just a few hits as well. If they aren’t stunned, expect to endure heavy attacks.

Unfortunately, this weapon moves quite slowly, noticeably so when attempting a dash attack or charging it up. However, the primary melee combination and special abilities are faster in comparison.

This tool excels in handling large groups as well as individual targets, but when it comes to battling a boss accompanied by minions, you might encounter significant difficulties.

3. Solar Bolters

Slice and Dice

At our house, we own what I refer to as “Gamma Claws”. In the game where hordes of opponents attack, the Solar Bolters are stylish weapons that demand caution and swift takedowns.

Or alternatively, in a game filled with countless enemies, the Solar Bolters – a stylish choice – necessitate careful handling and quick elimination of foes. At home, we have what I call “Gamma Claws”.

They excel in getting close and concentrating on a single opponent, repeatedly stunning them with multiple quick strikes. However, if they encounter multiple adversaries, they can quickly find themselves in trouble.

It’s quite challenging to engage in boss battles or retrieve items using these tools unless they’ve been significantly enhanced, as they need to deal substantial damage swiftly to deplete health, which fortunately requires minimal exertion.

This item significantly boosts your critical hit chance, but its charged attack isn’t particularly effective. However, if you’re seeking an easy-to-use option for dealing high damage in a hurry, this is your top choice.

2. Soldier’s Light

The Default Warrior

Initially, the weapon you select offers quite an impressive performance. You’ll enjoy swift attack speeds, a skill that charges relatively quickly, and a significantly large projectile.

The destruction caused isn’t particularly noteworthy, but performing a large, sweeping diagonal attack typically results in all nearby enemies being utterly destroyed.

It’s particularly advantageous that the special activates swiftly, offering an exceptional choice in emergency situations. However, the standard melee attacks could use some improvement, as they currently lack potency.

With this, you’ll mostly engage one or two swift enemies at a time. However, its special ability is exceptional, allowing you to dodge groups as it recharges, enabling another strike against them.

1. Gamma Claws

Claw To Victory

These claws are remarkably robust for their size, primarily due to their swiftness in attack and the substantial impact they deliver rather than dealing minimal damage.

One potential rephrase for your sentence could be: “The main drawback of Gamma Claws lies in its underwhelming special ability.”

In this version, I’ve tried to maintain the original meaning by using “drawback” instead of “downside,” and “underwhelming” to describe the lackluster special. The rest of the sentence provides context for why the special is less effective, focusing on its slow placement speed and limited utility unless enemies are lured into them.

The optimal way to utilize this weapon is to slice through large clusters of opponents, employing your explosives for distraction. Essentially, you act as a crowd controller, as these tools provide coverage from nearly all directions.

If you manage to locate the Gamma Claws with outstanding features, consider yourself almost victorious. Enhance these weapons and continue your quest by employing melee attacks for a successful combat sequence.
