Hogwarts Legacy: Recommended Traits and Their Effects

Recommended Traits

Concentration is a top priority

The most recommended trait is Concentration. It increases the damage of all damage spells, making it reliable in any situation. If you're unsure which trait to choose, prioritize selecting this one.

Ancient Magic Focus is also recommended

The Ancient Magic Focus trait increases the Ancient Magic meter. Ancient Magic is extremely useful for quickly reducing the number of enemies in battles. It's effective against multiple opponents or dealing huge damage to bosses. Prioritize getting Ancient Magic Focus as it allows you to increase your usage.

How to Apply Traits

Traits can be obtained at campsites and challenges

Traits that can be applied to gear are limited to those you already have in your collection. In order to add traits to your collection, you must open the treasure chests at various campsites or clear challenges in battles.

Apply traits by consuming materials at the Enchanted Loom

Traits are additional effects that can be applied to gear, and by using the Enchanted Loom in the Room of Requirement, you can apply them by consuming materials. The materials used for applying traits are by-products of magical creatures.

The level of slots changes depending on the rarity of the gear

Traits have levels from I to III, and the applicable level depends on the rarity of the gear. In order to apply powerful traits, high rarity gear is required, so it is recommended to collect gear while you collect traits.
