Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions – Best Brooms For Each Position

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has finally delivered fans of the Wizarding World a proper Quidditch sports game, and so it only makes sense that broom customization will be a major factor in the experience. Ideally, you’ll be spending the entirety of every Quidditch match on one, after all. But every broom that’s available to choose from has its pros and cons–there’s no one-size-fits-all choice to be made here. To pick the best broom in Quidditch Champions for you, you’ll have to figure out what works best for your style of play and the positions that your characters are playing.

Best Broom in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions

When you first get started with Quidditch Champions, you’ll have three brooms by default: the Shooting Star, the Cleansweep, and the Comet. There are currently seven others available to unlock by various means, like completing challenges or buying the deluxe edition or progressing through the seasonal rewards. But you don’t need to sweat those unlocks–the basic brooms have better stats, at least to begin with, so you don’t need any of those others if you’re just concerned with effectiveness.

Brooms have three main stat categories–speed, durability and agility–and each of the three basic brooms is good in two of those categories and poor in the third. The Comet has high agility and high durability but low speed. The Cleansweep has high agility and high speed but low durability. The Shooting Star has high speed and high durability but low agility. You can upgrade them using Moonstones, one of the game’s three main currencies, but there’s an opportunity cost involved in doing so because you upgrade each broom separately–if you blow all your Moonstones on Shooting Star, you won’t have anything to upgrade your Comet.

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

For my money, the Shooting Star is best for chasers, whose main job is to get downfield quickly and without getting knocked out. But since you have three chasers, it’s not the worst idea to throw in one Cleansweep among them so you can have a point guard who can fly circles around everyone.

I also enjoy the Shooting Star for beaters who like to roam all over, but a beater who stays on their own team’s end of the field may be better suited with a Comet. But this one is very subjective–what really matters here is you pick 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 maneuverability of the Cleensweep. If you want to have any hope of catching the snitch before Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy, you’ll need to make full use of the Cleansweep’s speed and maneuverability.

Lastly, the keeper will need a Comet because its high maneuver speed is necessary for hopping between the three goals you’re defending, and its high durability is also essential–it would be really bad if your keeper got knocked out.

As you play, be sure to regularly upgrade your brooms. You’ll receive 15 Moonstones every time you increase your career level, which happens basically every match, so you’ll have your equipment in great shape very quickly.
