Fans of Harry Potter can now enjoy a real Quidditch sports game with Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, where broom customization plays a huge role.
Top Brooms in Quidditch Champions
At the beginning of the game, you start with three brooms: Shooting Star, Cleansweep, and Comet. There are seven more brooms that you can unlock through challenges, buying the deluxe edition, or seasonal rewards. But don’t stress about unlocking them right away; the basic brooms have great stats to start with, so they’re pretty effective from the get-go.
Brooms have three main stats: speed, durability, and agility. Each of the basic brooms excels in two areas but lacks in the third. The Comet is agile and durable but slow. The Cleansweep is agile and fast but not very durable. The Shooting Star is fast and durable but lacks agility. You can upgrade brooms using Moonstones, one of the game’s main currencies. However, upgrading one broom means you can’t use those Moonstones on another, so choose wisely.
Since each broom has its own strengths and weaknesses, it’s best to upgrade all three. The position you play and your personal style will help determine which broom is best for you.
For my money, the Shooting Star is best for chasers, whose main job is to get downfield quickly and avoid getting knocked out. But since you have three chasers, it’s a good idea to mix in a Cleansweep to have someone who can outmaneuver others.
I also enjoy the Shooting Star for beaters who like to roam all over, but a beater who stays on their own team’s end of the field may be better suited with a Comet. But this one is very subjective–what really matters here is you pick a broom with high durability. The other stat is more of a personal choice.
For a seeker, the choice is very easy; you need the speed and maneuverability of the Cleensweep. If you want to have any hope of catching the snitch before Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy, you’ll need to make full use of the Cleansweep’s speed and maneuverability.
Lastly, the keeper will need a Comet because its high maneuver speed is necessary for hopping between the three goals you’re defending, and its high durability is also essential–it would be really bad if your keeper got knocked out.
As you play, be sure to regularly upgrade your brooms. You’ll receive 15 Moonstones every time you increase your career level, which happens basically every match, so you’ll have your equipment in great shape very quickly.
