A Complete Guide on Traits
Hogwarts Legacy is filled with magic and madness, and each area has its challenges and enemies to slay. While you do these challenges, you will have to equip gears and upgrade them to become stronger. Part of upgrading your gears is adding Traits to enhance your abilities, but let’s first get to know them.
What are Traits
So what are Traits, and how do they work in Hogwarts Legacy? Well, Traits are special attributes you can use to increase the damage of a few spells and damage from specific enemies.
You can include Traits inside your gears to build up your playstyle and use them to rain hell on your enemies. Moreover, there are two types of Traits in the game, Offensive and Defensive. Each Trait has up to three levels, so you can upgrade them to get more out of them.
How to Equip Traits
Unlocking these Traits can be challenging, as you must first complete Combat Challenges or loot as many Collection Chests as possible. To equip them, you need to obtain the Enchanted Loom, a device you can use to add your gear and upgrade. In fact, you can get it by completing the quest named ” The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and The Loom.”
After you have the Enhanced Loom, you can use it to equip tier 1 Trait for 1 Puffskein Fur, Tier 2 Trait for 1 Diricawl Feather, and tier 3 Trait for Kneazle Fur. Obtaining and adding these Traits can be quite the adventure and hassle, but they are worth doing so since they can improve your abilities, helping you become the ultimate Wizard.
