Last Hope

Last Hope is a Power in Galactic Glitch that saves the player from death once per run, firing a massive blast and restoring health.

Effect

When you would take fatal damage, Last Hope activates automatically:

1. Fires a huge blast that damages all nearby enemies
2. Restores a portion of your health
3. The power is consumed (one-time use per run)

Upgrade Levels

Level	Effect
Level 1	Fires a huge blast and heals you when you're about to die. One time use.
Level 2	Fires a larger blast and heals more when you're about to die. One time use.
Level 3	Fires a massive blast and heals significantly when you're about to die. One time use.

Strategy

Last Hope is insurance for risky builds:

• Enables Glass Cannon builds - Take Glass Cannon knowing you have a safety net
• Boss insurance - Survive one fatal mistake during boss fights
• Aggressive play - Push harder knowing you have a second chance
• High NG+ runs - Essential for harder difficulty levels where one mistake can end a run

Synergies

Last Hope enables high-risk, high-reward builds:

• Glass Cannon - Double damage taken is less scary with a death save
• Radiant Fury - Being low health triggers damage bonus; Last Hope catches you if you go too low
• Fickle Frenzy - Damage boost until hit; Last Hope saves the risky playstyle

Prototype Synergies

• Shadow - Low health prototype benefits from death insurance
• Glitch - Versatile ship can use Last Hope as backup for any build

Notes

• Only triggers once per run - cannot be refreshed
• The blast can kill enemies, potentially turning a near-death into a room clear
• Health restored increases with upgrade level
• One of the most valuable "insurance" powers in the game

Tips

• Don't rely on it - Play as if you don't have it; treat it as emergency backup
• Upgrade priority - Level 2 and 3 provide significantly more healing
• Pair with healing - Pitch and Patch or health pickups help you survive after activation
