Harry Potter: Wizards Unite cheats, tips - First things you should do when starting the game
Download the game and follow these tips to get set
So you've downloaded Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, but you don't know where to start? You're likely not alone, and even if you're used to AR games, there's a few things here you must learn.
There's a lot to update, download, and get set up so you can explore the wizarding world properly, and we're going to walk you through the first essential steps in this guide.
Set up your profile and settings
When you start up the game, your profile will be bare. You'll throw in your name and your public name, but after that, your profile will go unedited, and there's a bunch of things to add to it.
The first thing you can add is a profile picture - and you can actually take a picture of yourself! There are a bunch of frames, filters, overlays and more that you can use to customise your picture.
But then there's still a lot more to fit in.
You'll be able to select a title. You'll only have one at first, but as you progress through the game and clear achievements, you'll have even more to use.
You can select your house. Harry Potter fans will already know which house they'll choose from the options, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. I picked Ravenclaw. I don't know why.
Next you can customise your wand. You can change how flexible it is, what components it is made out of, and more. You'll unlock more options as you progress through the game, and it can effect your spells.
Then there's also your class. Choose wisely between Auror, Magizoologist, and Professor. Look at each class description, and choose depending on your play style.
Finally, you can list some achievements at the bottom by tapping through to them, and then the heart on each achievement icon. You might not have many yet, but you will soon.
1
Download all data
Head into your settings from the top left of the main menu, and when connected to WiFi, download all the data the game has.
The game as standard downloads as you play, which can eat up your data, and make the game run slower than usual.
It's a much smoother experience once you've downloaded all data.
2
Cast at a confoundable
As you explore the world you'll be casting spells at Confoundables to capture them and add them to your registry. Tap on icons on the overworld that appear to encounter them.
There will also be items on the overworld, which will be collected by simply tapping them.
In the encounter, you'll be tracing runes with your finger to cast spells. Trace as accurately as possible to do more damage, and refill your spell power by visiting the Inns dotted around the map.
3
Portkey portmanteau
One of the items you'll be collecting from the overworld is Portmanteaus. They come in pyramid-like boxes, and once you pick them up, you can begin to unlock them.
In the Portkey menu, you can put special keys in Portmanteaus, and they begin to unlock. They'll unlock once you walk enough to open them, with rarer Portmanteaus holding rarer items, and taking longer to unlock.
Since the whole game is about walking, getting a Portmanteau unlocked immediately will give you a quick boost.
