Hint is one of the 4 secret Tempos currently available in HOURS. It is available to players after parrying Resident Mind's piano attack with any parrying move, which happens exactly at the end of Phase 1, using any of the following - Artisan's Parry, Parting’s Easy Lover and Pummel, Drifter's Parry, Hot Rash's Hot Flash, and Hellion's Honk.

Usage

Upon activation, it automatically summons a random ghost enemy from random stages. It mimics all the abilities of the said enemy. E.g: If you summon Scarlet Knight, it can and will attack just like its enemy counterpart, but for you instead. Your ghost lasts indefinitely, as long as it does not die from the other enemies. If it does die, it will automatically respawn. Additionally, all ghosts have 25% of their original counterpart's max health, and their health scales based on the mode you're playing.

Hint has an infinite duration and has a cooldown of 4 seconds. When Overclocked the cooldown is reduced to 1 second and the tempos spawns an extra ghost.

Tips

• If you use Subject, you can keep the ghost alive by healing it, giving shields, etc.
• If you use Overclocked Zero and spam shield, you can get this easily.
• Use Hellion's HONK + Sand, and wait until Resident Mind's Piano move occurs, it should auto parry for you.
• Use Hot Rash's Shield ability + Sand and Use your tempo right after you use the Shield, the Resident Mind's Beams and Piano will be parried automatically
• Be aware that ghosts will spawn as random enemies, however, they lack some additional abilities. For example, a Scarlet Knight ghost can shield bash enemies, but can't disable their abilities, or a Cube Liner can make enemies slow, but can't fully disable them.
• Whichever ghost you have fighting for you, that ghost can be easily used as a means of a distraction, however you should keep in mind how weak they are in terms of health. Heal your ally often, which is possible with hosts such as Subject.
• When using Artisan, you can have the support units along with your ghost: fight for you and defend yourself. This potentially may help the ghost survive longer. Still, you should attack as well to ensure it doesn’t die instantly before it actually does something.

Trivia

• A Fiend Rider's ghost can instantly kill an opposing Fiend Rider (or the Resident Mind Phase 2 Clone) if both cars collided with each other.
• The tempo bar represents the ghost's health while it's alive.
• The ghost(s) turn into their normal appearances after beating Resident Mind.
• You can win the entire game without attacking via usage of Overclocked Hint.
