8Chrome Golem

Cost

Key Benefit

Assist in dense combat situations.

The Chrome Golem Amp summons a leaper-like construct that will fight alongside you for a limited period of time.

However, this can be helpful as a distraction.

7Vulcan Drone

Assist in combat, stronger on enemies inflicted with Rot.

The Vulcan Drone is another Amp that offers you a buff in combat.

When summoned, the Vulcan Drone will follow you and fly around the battlefield, taking shots at enemies.

Each shot deals roughly two to eight points of damage to enemies.

This Amp is particularly good against lower HP enemies.

The other great place to use the Vulcan Drone is in Crown battles.

This will leave you open to deal with the Crown itself.

6Hacking Shrapnel Cloud

Throw a grenade, raining shrapnel down on enemies.

Inflicting status effects on enemiesin the Overgrowthis always a good idea.

Hack is also one of the best effects that Hyper Light Breaker has to offer.

These form a perfect marriage in the form of the Shrapnel Cloud Amp.

5Caretaker Shield

Spawn a protective barrier around yourself.

This barrier then blocks one attack from an enemy before bursting in an explosive radius.

This radius not only does damage, but it knocks back and staggers all of the enemies around you.

4Root-Hash Hack

Summon an old foe to aid you in battle.

In extraction, you may even find your team outnumbering the enemies you’re fighting against.

3Berserkers Exoskeleton

Increase in Armor.

The Berserker’s Exoskeleton Amp does a few things simultaneously.

First, it increases your Armor by 20 percent (stacking withyour Sycom stats) for about eight seconds.

As long as the Amp is active, your attacks cannot be interrupted.

This means you won’t find yourself staggering nearly as much and getting pummeled by follow-up attacks.

You’ll cleave your way through them and heal yourself during the process.

2Crush Block

Summons a giant cube to aid you in battle.

Launch a high damage attack with knockback.

The Crystal Shatter Gauntlet Amp is simple, yet effective.

When you charge up this Amp, you’ll aim a long punch attack.

In addition to that, they’ll take anywhere from 200 to 350 damage plus knockback.
