Harry Potter: Magic Awakened – Tier List for the Best Charms to Use
Netease Games is going to be launching Harry Potter: Magic Awakened soon for the global audience after the game’s massive success in the Asian markets. The Harry Potter franchise-based game is a card-battler RPG where players can summon and collect different spells to help them against enemies in free-form combat. Apart from spells, players can also deploy powerful mythical creatures from the magical fantasy universe of Harry Potter. Harry Potter: Magic Awakened will be released as a free-to-play game on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store. Expected to drop somewhere in the 1st quarter of 2023, Netease is running a limited-time closed beta test as we speak for EU and NA regions respectively. The closed beta test will include only a limited number of participants as it is being conducted only for stability aspects. Eligible players can download the game from their respective app stores, provided that they are from the test regions.
Best Harry Potter: Magic Awakened Tier List (Charms)
In this article, we will be forming a tier list for some of the best charms available to be used in the game. This tier list will be based off our personal opinion according to the information included in the closed beta test. Keep in mind that tier lists are subjective from player to player. Unlike traditional games, Harry Potter: Magic Awakened does not have a rarity system that divides the charms based on their rarity. We have compiled our tier list based on the raw power of the spells. Since the data is still very limited and many decks cannot be tested, this tier list is not to be considered as full proof or final in any sort of way. Harry Potter: Magic Awakened is a strategic card-battler where players can create and use multiple decks.
