Guitar Hero Live Hero Powers detailed!

Fancy yourself as a bit of a shredder? You’ll want to get to grips with the Hero Powers found in Guitar Hero Live then!

Forget about Star Powers, GH Live will be bringing something much cooler to the party, with power ups that affect different gameplay areas. Boosting your score in solo mode, or grabbing the edge over your opponents in multiplayer, Hero Powers are indispensable if you want to become a guitar legend.

A quick tilt of your axe will bring you higher scores, more rewards and a faster way of leveling up, but you’ll have to earn the right to use them and so as you play the game, you constantly earn in-game currency, which you can then use to acquire various powers. Before you play a song in GHTV, you’ll have the option to choose which Hero Power you’d like to have equipped during the duration of that song for you to activate when you please.

The various types of Hero Powers are explained below…

• Clear Highway – Removes all immediate notes from your note highway instantly. The notes are counts as hits, which adds to your score, score streak and score multiplier.
• Double Multiplier – Your score multiplier will double for the duration of the Hero Power.
• Dial Down – Temporarily reduces the frequency of notes that appear in the note highway. This is especially effective during difficult portions of the song to maintain a big score multiplier.
• Dial Up – Temporarily increases the frequency of notes that appear in the note highway, therefore giving you a chance to increase your score.
• Score Chaser – Maximum score multiplier is temporarily doubled.
• Safety Net – Holds your multiplier and score streak at its current value.
• Invincibility – Temporarily hits all notes, and missing notes do not register.

Guitar Hero Live drops on October 23rd on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Wii U and mobile devices. We can’t wait to test out the new powers!
