Welcome to our Hogwarts Legacy Build Page, giving you flexible options, talents, level progression, and important spells for your builds.
This Hogwarts Legacy Guide was updated for the June 2024 Summer update.
Hogwarts Legacy Builds
Our Hogwarts Legacy Builds page below lists key selections for spell combination, talents, consumables, and optimal traits. Each individual build has level progression and spell combinations. In June of 2024, Hogwarts will allow for respec or changing talents. Therefore, you can experiment with multiple builds rather than being locked into one specific playstyle.
Below are the best builds in Hogwarts Legacy:
- Ancient Magic – emphasize Ancient Magic special spell casting
- Fire – buffs fire spells and area damage
- Dark Arts – end-game build focusing on Dark Arts
- Herbologist – uses consumables to do damage
- Protego – defensive minded shield build
- Spell Mastery – balanced spell casting build
