And we\u2019re confident that we are ready to recommend the best <a href=\"https:\/\/gamergoats.com\/is-hogwarts-legacy-cross-platform\/\">Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> character builds you can try right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-best-most-powerful-hogwarts-legacy-character-builds\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Best &amp; Most Powerful Hogwarts Legacy Character Builds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-abc=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/gamergoats.com\/hogwarts-legacy-get-upgrade-the-broom\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"10974\">Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> is not as complicated as some other games in the genre, such as Dark Souls. However, it still includes many combinations for the player to try, serving as this game\u2019s version of character builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some builds lean more towards light, while others are more about <a href=\"https:\/\/gamergoats.com\/can-you-be-evil-in-hogwarts-legacy\/\">unleashing your darker side<\/a>. One way or another, you\u2019ll be the most powerful wizard known to mankind \u2013 at least before Harry Potter takes over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The builds are not objectively better than each other, so make sure to pick the one that best suits your preference. And it\u2019s worth noting that your wizarding house does not restrict you from trying any of the builds. So, for example, a Gryffindor student can still become an evil wizard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-the-boy-who-lived-harry-potter-build\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. The Boy Who Lived (Harry Potter Build)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gamergoats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/The-Boy-Who-Lived-Harry-Potter-Build-1-1024x454.jpg\" alt=\"The Boy Who Lived (Harry Potter Build)\" class=\"wp-image-10995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with what we know everyone is looking for \u2013 the build that turns you into Harry Potter himself. The idea behind this build is that you have to use specific spells, talents, and gear traits that represent the character from the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, these do combine up to be a powerful character that can fight most threats in the game with ease. So, it\u2019s not just roleplay and looks. Here\u2019s what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-cnvs-list-styled-positive has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>Main Spells: Accio, Disillusionment, Arresto Momentum, Expelliarmus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Important Talents: Disarming Curse, Ancient Magic Throw Expertise, Slowing Curse, Accio Mastery, Curse Sapper, Basic Cast Mastery, Stupefy Mastery, Stupefy Expertise, and Enduring Curse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In terms of traits, we recommend Control III, Disarming III, and Concentration III.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not something that you can do immediately. So, like all things, it needs some time and effort. But the progression perfectly lines up with the natural difficulty of the game \u2013 so you won\u2019t have a problem. Once it\u2019s all done, you can start looking for Ron and Hermione to complete your group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-the-dark-arts-build\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The Dark Arts Build<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gamergoats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/The-Dark-Arts-Build-1-1024x432.jpg\" alt=\"The Dark Arts Build\" class=\"wp-image-10996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a good wizard is fun and all, but it\u2019s impossible to not be tempted by the forbidden fruit. If you want a powerful dark wizard build, then this is what you\u2019re looking for. The idea here is to pick up as many dark talents as possible, which includes Unforgivable Curses such as Avada Kedavra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, with darkness comes power. This is one of the most overpowered builds in the game. And it lets you kill humans and monsters alike \u2013 even if they\u2019re not necessarily attacking you. Though it\u2019s not a requirement and you can still play nice if you want. Here\u2019s what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-cnvs-list-styled-positive has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>Main Spells: Flipendo, Avada Kedavra, Arresto Momentum, Crucio, Expelliarmus, Imperio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Important Talents: Enduring Curse, Basic Cast Mastery, Imperio Mastery, Focus Potion Potency, Crucio Mastery, Swift, Avada Kedavra Mastery, Curse Sapper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In terms of traits, we recommend Cruelty III and Unforgivable III.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s everything that you need for this build. Keep in mind that there is no strict pattern of what skills you should have. If you feel like it, you can customize things a bit to your liking. Just make sure that in the end, your Dark Arts talent tree is filled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-the-botanist-build-potions-plants\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;The Botanist Build (Potions &amp; Plants)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gamergoats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/The-Botanist-Build-Potions-Plants-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Botanist Build (Potions &amp; Plants)\" class=\"wp-image-10997\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you look at RPG games or DND books \u2013 wizards often use things like potions and plants to fight their battles. And Hogwarts Legacy lets you play that way too for those who like to be resourceful. It\u2019s one of the lengthiest builds and it requires constant use of potions to fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the effort is entirely worth it because this is a very unique way to enjoy the game. And we recommend this especially for those who want to replay the game in a different way or just wish to try something new that other builds don\u2019t offer. Here\u2019s what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-cnvs-list-styled-positive has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>Main Spells:<strong> <\/strong>Bombarda, Confringo, Transformation, Depulso, and Expelliarmus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Important Talents:<strong> <\/strong>Fertiliser, Edurus Potion Potency, Noxious, Focus Potion Potency, Thunderbrew Potency, Bombarda Mastery, Maxima Potion Potency, Confringo Mastery, Depulso Mastery, Basic Cast Mastery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In terms of traits, we recommend using Concentration III, Fangs III, and Herbology III.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With these things by your side, you\u2019ll be well-equipped to face off against any threat. You\u2019ll use potions, summon plants, and use enhanced spells in battle. It can feel a bit slow at first, but the passive damage that you deal to enemies will keep you afloat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-soulslike-build-melee\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Soulslike Build (Melee)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gamergoats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Soulslike-Build-Melee-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Soulslike Build (Melee)\" class=\"wp-image-10998\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know one thing about GamesBustop, it\u2019s the fact that we absolutely love the Souls franchise. And even though Hogwarts Legacy is a different game, this guide would be incomplete without us recommending a build that replicates the experience in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea behind the Dark Souls Build is that it\u2019s a mixture of offensive and defensive options. It\u2019s not about being the most powerful wizard that the land has seen. Instead, it\u2019s about always being on the move and making sure that you\u2019re one step ahead of your enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, it\u2019s essentially a build meant for players who like to challenge themselves a bit. And this is also considered the closest thing to a melee build for Hogwarts Legacy by many players in the community too. Here\u2019s what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-cnvs-list-styled-positive has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>Main Spells: Descendo, Flipendo, Diffindo, and Depulso<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Important Talents: Protego Absorption, Thunderbrew Potency, Diffindo Mastery, Wiggenweld Potency 1, Protego Expertise, Protego Mastery, Wiggenweld Potency II, Edurus Potion Potency, Swift, Evasion Absorption<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As for the recommended traits, you should use Laceration III and Concentration III.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re ready, you\u2019ll be fighting enemies as if your life depends on it. Melee combat, dodging, casting powerful spells \u2013 the full experience. And it\u2019s certainly one of the best ways to play the game too even if it\u2019s not as overpowered as some of the other options on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/jjwllvDUylUQE4z914diYhK0vRzgZ3ap-7ztRRnEoMLTU2PvzrUC7RrQ9d_Tt_v2dbsQYF2kX_4TZUi5Htg9cjvrY0rua0gkZif06H13FCtfe1qb0Vxn89jPmz9a6_Xz0ZHZk6RNV7AFU34i1zH9n0M\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it for our guide of the best Hogwarts Legacy character builds, which includes dark arts, balanced options, potions, and even melee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though there are other builds to be made in the game, they are mostly a combination of what we have recommended here. These are the most distinctive builds in the community right now and thus we have not recommended others that only have slight differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as usual, we do suggest experimenting with everything in order to make things better suit your preferences.
