What Are Traits?

Hogwarts Legacy Applying Traits

Traits are enhancers you can add to armor to do special effects. These can range from different offensive aspects such as doing more damage to a certain enemy type, to defensive aspects such as taking less damage from a certain enemy type. Whichever one you use, you'll have a great new effect. You can find them via exploring certain areas or by completing certain Challenges in your menu. Each of these Traits has 3 different levels. Level 1 slightly increases the effect, Level 2 greatly increases the effect, and Level 3 significantly increases the effect. To apply Traits to armor, you need the following items.

  • Level 1 Trait - x1 Puffskein Fur
  • Level 2 Trait - x1 Diricawl Feather
  • Level 3 Trait - x1 Kneazle Fur

Each of these items is unlocked when you rescue magical Beasts. Playing with them in the Vivariums will allow you to collect the items. Vivariums
