How to Upgrade Hoverboards and Use Board Abilities

Upgrading via the Riftwright

While the Default Drifter provides basic hover movement, advanced exploration requires specialized boards and defensive perks like shields. To upgrade your hoverboard:

1. Venture into the dimensions to collect rare materials and boss Cores.

2. Locate a Return Rift to head back to the Overworld.

3. Present your rare dimensional resources and Cores to the Riftwright at his home to upgrade your board and unlock new areas.

Hoverboard Variants and Controls

Upgraded hoverboards feature distinct abilities designed for defense and mobility:

• Default Drifter: Offers standard hover movement to maneuver across uneven terrain.
• Mirror Drifter: Built for crowded battles, this board automatically pushes nearby enemies away, giving you breathing room when swarmed by hostile dimension mobs.
• Forgotten Drifter: Provides rapid repositioning. While riding this board, press R to activate an instant forward speed burst.

Combine these movement abilities with the hoverboard shield upgrades to stay alive while navigating dangerous biomes.
