Recently, Harry Potter<\/em> hasn\u2019t always had the best games to offer to its fans, especially on mobile. Taking one quick look at Hogwarts Mystery<\/em> should be more than enough proof that it\u2019s been incredibly hit-and-miss with one of the world\u2019s most beloved franchises.<\/p>\n

Whether Harry Potter: Wizards Unite<\/em> will change that remains to be seen. As for me, I\u2019m personally having a blast roaming up and down my street, trying to be the best magic user that the world has ever seen and showing up Harry Potter in the process. That\u2019s for being an arse in the Cursed Child<\/em>, you tyrant!<\/p>\n

\"harry<\/p>\n

But being the best is trickier than it looks, and if you\u2019re not used to mobile games that feature a heavy amount of AR, as well as other time-consuming mechanics that Wizards Unite<\/em> employs, you may feel similar to a fish that\u2019s just been flung out of water. Anyone who played Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> will feel right at home, but for everyone else there\u2019s a lot to do and things can fly way over your head.<\/p>\n

So, here are some general tips and tricks that Wizards Unite doesn\u2019t outright tell you, but what you should pay attention to all the same.<\/p>\n

Keep an Eye on Your Spell Energy<\/h3>\n

In Wizards Unite<\/em>, you\u2019ll probably be completely nonplussed to find out that you have to cast a lot of spells when playing. This is because you\u2019ll be finding traces of magic and foundables, all which will help you level up and progress through the Wizards Unite<\/em> story.<\/p>\n

However, casting spells takes up energy. Spell energy starts at 75 and can be increased by 10 using 150 gold coins to pay for an upgrade or through giving your Vault an extension which costs 475 gold coins but upgrades other things beside your spell energy. Though, the faster way is to upgrade using 150 gold coins.<\/p>\n

Spell energy is such a useful commodity in Wizards Unite<\/em> that without it, you may be waiting around a lot in order to continue playing. To minimize that waiting, we advise you to pay close attention to the glyph on your phone screen because screwing that up still wastes spell energy. So, practice!<\/p>\n

Which brings me to my next point: Inns and Greenhouses.<\/p>\n

Use Inns and Greenhouses<\/h3>\n

Inns and Greenhouses may not seem all that important to new players at first, but they have features that are absolutely pivotal to you levelling up and other features, such as regaining spell energy.<\/p>\n

We have a more in-depth guide to locations and what they do, if you’re interested.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

For those who have played Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em>, you\u2019ll see Inns as similar to PokeStops, a place where you can get items. In Wizards Unite, you\u2019ll have to enter Inns by tracing the glyph that appears on your phone screen. If you do so successfully, the inn will reveal itself to you by presenting you with five dishes – which it\u2019ll choose for you at random. After consuming your scrumptious meal, you\u2019ll be rewarded with Spell Energy.<\/p>\n

\"harry<\/p>\n

Greenhouses on the other hand are, in our humble opinion, much more useful than inns. For one, they too can grant you Spell Energy, with the downside being that it isn\u2019t guaranteed to reward you with it, unlike Inns.<\/p>\n

That being said, Greenhouses are useful for other things, such as growing ingredients to create potions. These ingredients can be grown or picked up around the map when you\u2019re out walking or playing at home. You may not think potions are worth investing in, but you\u2019d be wrong. Potions are incredibly useful when going up against particularly tricky Foundables, with some lowering the chance of failure whilst others will offer the possibility of more rewards during your success.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be Afraid to Team Up for Fortresses<\/h3>\n

Dungeons and Harry Potter<\/em> shouldn\u2019t really go together, but Wizards Unite<\/em> is going to try and make it happen anyway.<\/p>\n

Fortresses are areas that are found out while you wander throughout the world. When you enter them, you\u2019ll find yourselves in a glorified dungeon that has 20 floors and is filled to the brim with AI monsters that are eager to snap you up. Thankfully, you don\u2019t have to do these fortresses by yourself, as up to 5 players can team up and storm the area.<\/p>\n

\"wizards<\/p>\n

A trick for handling the fortress is to be well-stocked and have someone in your party that is at least a little higher level than you. This is because some floors of the fortress have level-restrictions, and you\u2019d fare a lot better having someone more advanced at your side. Potions of your own choice would also do some good, especially if this is your very first time handling a Fortress and you\u2019re going it alone.<\/p>\n

Yet, as gnarly as it may sound, Fortresses offer great rewards and if you\u2019re looking to show off your superior wizardry to your friends, there\u2019s no better way to do so.<\/p>\n

Maximise your Registry<\/h3>\n

Keeping an eye on your registry is one of the smartest things you can do. With it, you\u2019ll be able to see what Foundables you\u2019ve managed to collect on your journey, and which ones you\u2019ve still got left to complete. Knowing which ones you\u2019ve got to collect and which ones you haven\u2019t allows you to plot out which Foundables you should be grinding for, and which ones to leave well alone.<\/p>\n

\"wizards<\/p>\n

Collecting these Foundables are important as they\u2019ll not only increase your rank but will give you new items too. New items means new things to check out and make your time with Wizards Unite a fun one.<\/p>\n

Check Daily Assignments and SOS Often<\/h3>\n

It may seem obvious, but Daily Assignments and SOS are one of the biggest ways to get ahead in Wizards Unite. SOS stands for Statue of Secrecy Task Force, and are used to progress the story, as well as the characters and players understanding of the Calamity which has befallen on the Wizarding world.<\/p>\n

Daily assignments, however, are the bread and butter to getting great items, as well as a Hippogriff load of XP. Taking a quick check on what you have to do, you\u2019ll more than likely find that potions, ingredients and sometimes even a Portkey. With each level of progression, the further you are to becoming a Wizarding master<\/p>\n

Turn off AR\/Turn On Battery Saver<\/h3>\n

The AR in Wizards Unite<\/em> is nothing short of awesome, but it has a problem: it drains your phone incredibly fast. I can play Wizards Unite<\/em> for a few minutes at 50% only to have it lowered to 20% after I log off the app. It\u2019s annoying and can cause you to turn back on your adventuring to head home and charge, which nobody wants to do if you live in a place that has no inns, greenhouses or fortresses nearby.<\/p>\n

So turn off your AR. Yes, it\u2019s pretty but if you\u2019re out and about and you want to progress a fair amount, then turning off your AR, as well as turning on your battery saver, may be the best call. Besides, nothing\u2019s stopping you from turning your AR back on when you\u2019re at home and can use a Portkey.<\/p>\n
