Mecha BREAK Hurricane Guide: How to Dominate
Image Credit: Amazing Seasun Games, Mecha BREAK
Hurricane is a deceptively strong “defender” mech that can pump out insane amounts of damage while still being tanky enough to hold the frontline. If played correctly, you can consistently hit 1-1.2 million damage per match, all while making life miserable for enemy teams.
Despite its defender classification, Hurricane isn’t your traditional tank. Instead of just soaking damage, it thrives in high-pressure engagements, disrupting enemies with powerful lasers, shields, and bubbles. This guide will break down how to play Hurricane in an absolutely dominating fashion, covering its abilities, playstyle, and strategies to maximize your impact on the battlefield.
Hurricane Playstyle – Don’t Take Fair Fights
Hurricane does not win fair 1v1 fights against top-tier duelists. Instead, its true power comes in uneven fights where it can absorb damage while teammates capitalize on the chaos.
Always play with an advantage. You want to be in situations where you’re part of a 3v2 or 2v1, taking damage while teammates clean up.
Avoid prolonged solo fights. If caught alone, you’re durable but not invincible—focus on escaping or stalling until backup arrives.
Soak pressure, don’t be the main focus. Your goal is to disrupt and absorb enemy resources, not to duel for extended periods.
Hurricane Abilities & How to Use Them
Primary Weapon – Big Laser Beam
Your main attack is a charged beam weapon that deals massive damage. It’s a slow-firing but high-impact weapon, meaning positioning is everything.
Charge your shot whenever you’re not dodging or using abilities.
Use it mid-dash to surprise enemies while repositioning.
If enemies are retreating, fully charge a shot to finish them off.
Shield Drone (Secondary) – The Ultimate Defense Tool
Hurricane’s Shield Drone can be deployed manually or held briefly to remain on your mech before detaching.
Use it reactively. If a melee attacker lunges at you, release it just as they hit you—this results in a parry, stunning them for a long duration.
Position it between you and the enemy. The drone is most effective when it acts as a direct barrier between incoming fire.
Parry melee opponents. Against aggressive melee mechs like Panther, proper Shield Drone timing shuts them down completely.
Bubble (Aux 1) – Hurricane’s Core Defensive Tool
Hurricane’s bubble provides a temporary shield, but many players make the mistake of leaving it up for too long.
Cancel the bubble early by pressing the ability again—this lowers the cooldown, letting you use it more often.
The bubble isn’t static. It moves with you, so don’t plant it in one spot and expect teammates to sit inside it.
Absorb a key attack, then cancel and reposition. It’s best used to soak a major burst of enemy fire before being repositioned.
Drones (Aux 2) – Bonus Utility, Not a Game-Changer
Hurricane’s deployable drones add some passive damage and interference, but they won’t win fights on their own.
Drop them around objectives or common combat areas.
Use them off cooldown—there’s no reason to hold them back.
Think of them as extra pressure tools, not primary damage sources.
Splitter (Aux 3) – Another Ability You Should Cancel Early
Splitter lets you fire an additional beam, adding extra burst damage. Unlike most abilities, Splitter does not lock you in place—meaning you can use other abilities while it's active.
Cancel it early if you’re not hitting anything—there’s no reason to waste damage potential.
Use it in combination with your dash, shield, and bubble. You can be fully active while firing Splitter.
Best Team Compositions for Hurricane
While Hurricane doesn’t rely on a specific team composition, it performs best when paired with grounded teammates who can take advantage of its shielding and area control.
Best Teammates for Hurricane:
Pinaka – Increases Hurricane’s already insane survivability, letting you take absurd amounts of damage without dying.
Inferno – Works well with Hurricane’s lock-breaking shields, making it harder for enemies to track both mechs in a fight.
Any Mech That Sticks to the Ground – Hurricane’s bubbles, shields, and drones are most useful when teammates aren’t constantly flying above them.
Avoid Pairing With:
Too Many Airborne Mechs – Hurricane is strongest when it controls ground fights—if teammates are always in the air, your defensive tools are wasted.
Advanced Hurricane Tips & Tricks
Use Bubble Canceling to Bait Enemies
Activate the Bubble to trick opponents into committing a big attack.
Cancel it immediately and dodge—wasting their cooldowns.
Be Aggressive, But Not Reckless
Hurricane can take hits, but it’s not invincible.
Position yourself where you can take damage but won’t be focused too hard.
Parry Aggressive Melee Enemies
If a Panther or Welkin is charging you, hold Shield Drone and release it just as they land a hit—this stuns them, turning the fight in your favor.
Use Splitter While Moving
You don’t have to stand still while firing Splitter. Use it while boosting, dashing, or deploying other abilities.
Final Blurb
Hurricane is one of the highest-damage "tanks" in Mecha BREAK, but it isn’t a traditional defender. Instead of just absorbing damage, it thrives in chaotic fights where it can pressure enemies while soaking up hits for the team.
Never take fair fights—always play at an advantage.
Master Bubble canceling to reduce cooldowns and reposition faster.
Use Shield Drone as a defensive tool AND a parry mechanic against melee enemies.
Drop drones near objectives, but don’t expect them to win fights for you.
Pair with grounded teammates like Pinaka or Inferno for maximum synergy.
If played correctly, Hurricane will consistently be a top-damage and top-defense mech, making it one of the most rewarding Strikers in the game.
