Hisuaian Braviary At Right Speed
If you dash after switching from Basculegion to Hisuaian Braviary, you'll lose too much altitude and won't be able to pop some balloons so be sure to proceed at the right speed.
The Point Of Plunge
If you've been flying with Hisuian Braviary for a certain amount of time, there will be a point where you need to dive. You'll need to pop the balloons during the dive, so be sure to control it properly.
h3: Switch from Wrydeer to Hisuian Braviary
After you dive and break one balloon, you'll need to immediately jump to Wrydeer and switch to the Hisuian Braviary. After switching, dash to the left.
h3: Watch your point of view after landing.
After landing on land with the Hisuian Braviary, you'll have to control the Wrydeer. There's a sharp curve and you'll need to control your viewpoint to pop the balloon.
h3: Switch to the Hisuaian Braviary after the jump.
After jumping off the cliff, switch to Hisuaian Braviary and pop the balloons in the sky. Dash through the balloons on the way to pop them while lowering your altitude. The last balloon is in a very difficult position to aim, so use your dive to pop it.
