Hogwarts Legacy lets you build a custom loadout of spells and curses, all of which are equally effective in dispatching enemies. Much of the fun comes from building your unique character with a variety of spells, which vary in terms of utility, stealth, and power.
It’s totally up to players to shape their Hogwarts Legacy adventure, as they get access to a bunch of new spell combinations, herbs, and potions by progressing in the story. However, they should have a strategy for creating the most dangerous wizard while role-playing their favorite characters from the Harry Potter universe. Here are the most overpowered builds players can carve out to inflict fear upon adversaries.
5 Potions & Plants Build
It is a simple, viable way to build an overpowered wizard with certain items that other builds in the list ignore entirely. Some may think that this build can be a bit dull compared to the Merlin’s and the Dead Eater, but sometimes you should rely on the easy way to keep up the pace.
The build depends on potions and plants, which can deal a ton of damage, reduce your cooldown times, and help you get the most out of your spells. Focus potion potency and Bombarda mastery are the two essential parts of the build, with your character throwing damaging plants into combat areas while empowering yourself with a few potions.
4 Merlin Build
As its name suggests, the Merlin build emphasizes Ancient Magic attacks, which can not do a ton of damage on their own. You can build up your Ancient Magic meter by cursing enemies with Expelliarmus or Arresto Momentum. Unlike the other builds in the list, Merlin’s overpowered sorcery build requires players to gain mastery in control spells like Glacius, Depulso, and Incdendio.
Wizards who are curious about the Ancient Magic can carve out Merlin’s build to become one with their favorite talents. Powerful finishing attacks combined with aesthetic and advanced versions of control spells will allow you to isolate both larger and smaller enemies.
3 Counterattack Build
Staying defensive the majority of the time can be another way to build your ideal character, as some later-game spells like Depulso, Descendo, and Diffindo make it possible for you. Mastering the counter ability with this counter-attack build requires mastery in at least two Protego-focused talents to shape the combat in your favor.
You can also make this build even stronger by adding a few potion potencies, including Thunderbrew and Wiggenweld. Also, it is safe to say that the counter-attack build may seem identical to the parry-focused gameplay in Souls-like games, but players must test out their reflexes to dispatch enemies with one skill after their defensive move.
2 Death Eater Build
This type of build unleashes the true potential of Dark Arts, which requires players to gain mastery in Crucio, Imperio, Avada Kedavra, as well as a variety of curses like Blood Curse, Enduring Curse, and Curse Sapper. It makes you hard to bear, offering a fun and brutal option to demolish enemies. The Death Eater build works in sync with other unforgivable spells like Arresto Momentum, Flipendo, and Expelliarmus.
Wizards could find themselves tempted by Dark Arts, as they consist of the most devastating and cool spells in Hogwarts Legacy. Although they are not easy to pull off like stealth-focused spells, each wizard has a dream of becoming a master of Dark Arts to inflict fear upon their enemies.
1 Stealth Build
You would be surprised how much fun you can have with the stealth build despite its passive nature. This stealth-focused character build allows your wizard to decimate enemies with minimum casualties. The stealth build truly opens with the Disillusionment spell, which allows you to hide from enemies with relative ease. Additionally, you can cast the Petrificus Totalus spell to blind weaker enemies and take advantage to start a duel. Bear in mind that you must have mastery in spells like Accio, Leviosa, and Alohomora to use the build in the best possible way. Essential talents working in sync with the stealth build include Sense of Secrecy, Human Demiguise, and Revelio Mastery.
Which spells and talents you are committed to investing shape your combat experience, offering an all-new way to dispatch enemies and bosses. You can also build a utility-focused custom loadout with the combination of spells to see how it works, including Reparo, Evanesco, Wingardium Leviosa, and Disillusionment.
