Best team positions to play in Quidditch Champions by difficulty

Teams in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions are made up of positions that each have their responsibilities, strengths, and weaknesses. If you're wondering which of those best suits your magical talents, here's our handy guide for the best team positions to play in Quidditch Champions by difficulty.

All positions in Quidditch Champions & difficulty level

While Hogwarts Legacy may not have given us the Quidditch we wanted, we now have the full experience with Quidditch Champions.

Below we've listed all four different types of positions that are available to play on your customized Quidditch team in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. They include Chaser, Beater, Keeper, and Seeker. While each of them serves a different purpose, they all have the same endgame which is earning points for their respective team.

Some of these positions are more challenging than others. While the game encourages you to help your team by playing all positions fairly equally during a match, there is still plenty of leeway to put your strengths toward one or two particular positions that you feel most comfortable with. This is especially true and important if and when you decide to try online multiplayer.

The actual difficulty of these different positions can vary, depending on your personal playstyle. You may prefer the quick-thinking diligence of a Chaser or the methodical tricks of a Beater, or you may simply like prioritizing the fast-paced race of the Seeker to net big points as quickly as possible. Whichever you feel best suited to, Quidditch Champions makes it surprisingly easy to adapt and stay flexible on the field.

Chaser Position - Medium Difficulty

The core of a Quidditch team lies with the Chasers, who are the fundamental point scorers. Their purpose is to capture and maintain possession of the Quaffle, and ultimately use it to score points in the opposing team's goal hoops. Each successful goal is worth 10 points, and the more you get the better your odds of winning.

Chaser is a relatively challenging position to play, as knowing where the Quaffle is at all times is your biggest priority. If your team has it, you need to facilitate good passes down the field to score goals quickly. If you have possession, you'll need to watch out for players on the other team looking to Tackle you, and Beaters trying to do the same with their Bludgers.

If the other team has the Quaffle, you'll need to catch them and retake it in time before they attempt to score. This can be tricky as they pass the Quaffle around, or when fumbles happen and the Quaffle is dropped. If you're quick and nimble, taking advantage of those fumbles as much as possible is a priority. Likewise, when the Keeper kicks the Quaffle back into the field, getting to it first is key. This can help you make goals in quick succession.

Finally, you'll need to have good aiming skills to make clever shots into the other team's goal hoops. With good practice, you'll learn how to outwit Keepers and know when and where to make those scores count.

Beater Position - High Difficulty

Arguably the most difficult position on the team in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is the Beater. Their purpose is to cause as much grief as possible for the opposing team by using their Bludgers. As fun as this position can be, knowing how to use it at the right time is the true challenge of it.

First of all, to use your Bludger during a match you need to Summon it to you. This ability allows you to use your club like a wand to draw the Bludger close. When a player on the opposing team comes within striking distance (indicated by the small gauge under their character model that fills and prompts a button press), you can choose to fire the Bludger at them with your club.

If their gauge is full, the Bludger will home in on the player and strike accurately (unless they dodge it). If you fire the Bludger before the gauge is full, it will likely miss outright and you'll need to try and re-aim it by Boosting it or waiting for the cooldown before you can Summon it again.

Those downtimes make choosing your targets the biggest challenge as a Beater. Whether it's aiming for the enemy Chasers flying off with the Quaffle, jeopardizing the enemy Keeper to give your team a bigger advantage at scoring goals, or hindering the enemy Seeker in their pursuit of the Golden Snitch. If you fumble your targets or hold fire for too long, it can cost precious points. However, if you make the right offensive moves, you can help turn the tide when it's needed most.

Keeper Position - Medium Difficulty

The Keeper has the fundamental responsibility of protecting their team's three goal hoops throughout the match to prevent the opposing team from scoring points.

Knowing how to read and predict the movements of the enemy players when they approach with the Quaffle is the biggest challenge when playing as Keeper. Watching for the Quaffle as it gets passed from one player to another, and knowing how to maneuver and ultimately block shots comes down to your personal intuition. Your Dive ability can especially come in handy when you have little time to figure out where a shot is being aimed.

Bear in mind that you're not just sitting dormant at the goal line when action isn't necessarily happening around you. Beaters on the opposing team will occasionally try to put you out of commission with their Bludgers, so remember to Dodge accordingly when prompted. Enemy Chasers will try to do the same in order to distract or eliminate you.

Your biggest strength as Keeper lies not only in preventing the opposing team from scoring, but dictating how the next move will play out by sending the Quaffle back onto the field where you wish and using your Playcaller ability that places boost rings on the field for your teammates.

Seeker Position - Low Difficulty

Despite being fabled in Harry Potter lore as the most niche position on a Quidditch team due to its drastically high stakes, the Seeker in Quidditch Champions is actually the most approachable position on the entire team in terms of difficulty.

As you learn in the game's tutorial, the singular purpose of the Seeker is to capture the Golden Snitch before the Seeker on the other team does. You don't get involved in other aspects of the match, so your focus is kept on one objective, and the mechanics of it are very straightforward. You will need to dodge Bludgers, however, as the Beaters on the opposing team will do their best to hinder your progress.

After the game warns that the Golden Snitch has appeared on the field, you can switch to your team's Seeker. As soon as you've spotted the Snitch, keep your eyes on it as it flies around the field. It will leave behind a trail of golden rings for you to fly through, which helps keep you at maximum speed and builds the yellow gauge beneath the Snitch symbol on your screen.

As soon as you fill the gauge and it turns blue, that means the Snitch is ripe for catching as soon as you get close enough to it. Doing so rewards 30 points for your team and a cooldown transpires before the next opportunity to catch it. This means you can catch it multiple times in a match before the timer runs out.
