Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions – Best Brooms for Every Position

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has finally given fans of the Wizarding World a proper Quidditch sports game, and so it makes sense that broom customization will be a major factor in the experience. After all, ideally you’ll spend your entire Quidditch match on a broom. But each broom available to choose from has its pros and cons – there’s no one-size-fits-all choice to be made here. In order to pick the best broom for you in Quidditch Champions, you’ll need to figure out what works best for your play style and the positions your characters play.

Best broom in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions

When you first start playing Quidditch Champions, you will have three brooms by default: the Shooting starthe Clean upand the Comet. There are currently seven others available to unlock through various means, such as completing challenges or purchasing the deluxe edition or progressing through the seasonal rewards. But you don’t need to worry about those unlocks – the base brooms have better stats, at least to start, so you don’t need any of the others if you’re only concerned about effectiveness.

Brooms have three main stats: speed, durability, and agility. Each of the three basic brooms is good in two of those categories and bad in the third. The Comet has high agility and durability, but low speed. The Cleansweep has high agility and speed, but low durability. The Shooting Star has high speed and durability, but low agility. They can be upgraded using Moonstones, one of the game’s three main currencies, but there is an opportunity cost to doing so, since you upgrade each broom individually. If you blow all your Moonstones on the Shooting Star, you will have nothing to upgrade your Comet with.

However, because of the way the brooms are balanced, it’s not ideal to just pick one to put all of your Moonstones into. You’ll want to upgrade all three, as each of the three main brooms fills a niche. The way each position plays is the biggest factor, but your playstyle also matters, so keep that in mind as you read the rest of this.

As for me, the Shooting Star is best for hunterswhose main job is to get to the court quickly and without getting knocked out. But since you have three chasers, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to throw in a Cleansweep so you have a point guard who can fly circles around everyone.

I also like the Shooting Star for beaters who like to roam around everywhere, but a beater who sticks to his own team’s side might be better off with a Comet. But this one is very subjective – what really matters is that you choose 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 agility of the Cleansweep. If you want to have any chance of catching the snitch before Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy, you’re going to need to make full use of the speed and agility of the Cleansweep.

Finally, the goalkeeper needs a Comet because its high maneuvering speed is necessary to be able to jump between the three goals you are defending, and its high durability is also essential. Real bad if your goalkeeper gets knocked out.

Make sure to upgrade your brooms regularly as you play. You get 15 Moonstones every time you level up your career, which is basically every match, so your gear will be in top shape very quickly.
