We covered the basics and starting the mobile game, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, http://geektruth.blogspot.com/2019/06/video-game-review-harry-potter-wizards.html. Now, let’s get into the more advanced play. The helpful screen opens up several icons; Vault, Profession, Potions, Registry, and Portkeys. You have to manage your Vault; you have there Potions, Ingredients, used to brew potions, Utility, keys used for Portkeys, Runestones, again to enter Wizarding Challenges, and Seeds and Water, which you need to plant rare ingredients at Greenhouses. You might have too much of Ingredients and Seeds and Water so you can click Manage on the item and delete a number of the items. Which brings you to brewing potions, click on the icon and start brewing up potions, this is part of the Daily Assignments which you can find with the checklist on the right with the main screen. If you have collected enough Ingredients you can start brewing potions in your cauldron. There are a few available like the Healing Potion, there is also the Extimulo and Strong Extimulo Potions. They help with your spell casting. Also note that brewing potions may take a few hours. Some of the Ingredients for the potions may be found in the greenhouses if you make the right selection of the plotted plants.
The Registry shows you the different sections of Exploration; Care of Magical Creatures, Dark Arts, Hogwarts School, Legends of Hogwarts, Ministry of Magic, Magiczoolgy (Newt’s Case), Magical Games and Sports, Mysterious Artifacts, Wonders of the Wizarding World, and Oddities. Note that you may need to scroll down from each one to see the three other screens! Also note that there is on the lower menu; Exploration, Challenges, books, Mysteries, where you gather clues about Grim Fawley, and Events with the next Brilliant Event: Fantastic Flora and Fauna! Then, you have Profession, there are three; Auror, Magizoologist, and Professor. You start learning lessons, in the case of the Professor, Principles of Professorship, you use Spell Books and Scrolls to go through the various lessons. This opens up some powerful spells for you, the Professor can use a Deterioration Hex in Wizarding Challenges that damages opponents when they use spells or spells are sent at them! There is also the Mending Charm that helps heal you or teammates. Portkeys, you find them in random places, you use a Gold or Silver Key (which you get as part of your usual rewards) to start them, and then have to walk a certain distance to activate them; 2K, 7K, and 10K. Once they activate, you walk in and see a room or other place where you search for glowing "wrackspurts" that are under chimneys and hidden in cages. You spin your phone 360 degrees to find them. It is basically finding five wrackspurts, instead of winning Traces.
There are Inns, they are different colored slope-roofed houses, you enter one and cast a spell to select a dish to give you Spell Energy. Pumpkin juice and Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans gets 3 Spell Energy. Once you had a meal, there is smoke in the chimney that is there until the countdown is over, and you go back for more Spell Energy. You can also place a Dark Detector there to draw out Foundables. Greenhouses are glass buildings, you enter and choose between three potted plants, you might get Spell Energy and some seeds. On the bottom right is a Plant button, you tap it, to get to plant some seeds of rare or needed Ingredients. You are told what potion could be brewed from the Ingredient. You can then cast Herbivicus to increase the number of Ingredients, also to help out someone who has already planted seeds. Note that it takes several hours for a magical plant to grow and you have a half hour to collect it. So, let’s get to Fortresses and the Wizarding Challenges! The Fortresses are tall, castle-like structures on pointed cones. You pay the Runestone, there are different types, Care of Magical Creatures and Legends of Hogwarts similiar to Exploration Registry. Also, levels, I’ve collected 1-5, the higher the level, the higher the difficulty.
Once you enter the Fortress, you can see your opponents, if you have a team you can drop Mending Charms on them or you, and Deterioration Hexes on opponents (very effective!). The next part is very tricky since I was unfamiliar with mobile games. You get an opponent like a Dark Wizard, Pixie, or Werewolf. You have to slide across the very top of the screen to activate the target, drag it down and then lock it on the opponent’s target circle. It is not easy with the Pixie which flies around and very easy with the Werewolf who is so busy howling that you can lock on without problem. I didn’t know this for five times, two days, two Youtube videos, and reading two online articles so I was just defending until I gave up. The other thing to keep in mind is that this is all timed, you may have three opponents going into a Wizarding Challenge. You cast your spell and damage your opponent. Check their health bars at the top and also your health bar! It is easy to lose track of your health and I got Knocked Out several times. Then, you have counter attacks with a Protego. This happens after almost every one of your attacks. The upside is you get some good loot for finishing a Challenge. Also, it is one of the Daily Assignments. Now, there is a special event, Brilliant Event: Fantastic Flora and Fauna, is now running, starting on July 3rd and ending on July 10th. There are special creatures to find like Buckbeak which are difficult to free from chains with Alohomora spells. Plus, he had 10 fragments. A very fun game that has me checking my phone nearly all the time.
