Harry Potter Quidditch Champions: How to Play Chaser
Chasers are the offensive position of any Quidditch team in Harry Potter Quidditch Champions. Mastering this role requires quick reflexes strategic thinking and excellent teamwork. This guide breaks down the essential skills and strategies needed to excel as a Chaser and lead your team to victory.
How to Play Chaser in Harry Potter Quidditch Champions
Just like in the books and in the movies, Chasers have one main goal in Quidditch Champions: to score by throwing the Quaffle through the other team’s hoops.
Each goal earns 10 points, making Chasers important for winning. With three Chasers on each team, working together is key to keeping control of the ball and creating chances to score.
Offensive Strategies
While scoring is the main goal, Chasers also play a key role in offense by setting up plays and creating opportunities.
Maintain Possession
Holding onto the Quaffle is important for winning. Chasers should keep moving and pass the ball to teammates to avoid getting tackled by the other team. Quick movements and well-timed passes can throw off the defense and open up chances to score.
Diversify Your Shots
When getting close to the goal hoops, change how you shoot. Use strong shots for power or slow, high throws to surprise the Keeper. Sometimes, a quick pass to a teammate for an assist works better than trying a tough shot.
Learn about the Shovel Pass
The Shovel Pass is a quick sideways pass that can surprise your opponents. Watch for the blue arrows showing a teammate nearby before making the pass. Getting good at the Shovel Pass can create fast breakaways and simple chances to score.
Defensive Strategies
While scoring is the primary focus, Chasers also play a crucial role in defense.
Tackling and Stealing
When the other team has the Quaffle, use tackles to get it back. Timing is key for this move, so you need to get close to the opponent and press the right button to try to steal the ball. If you succeed, quickly pass to a teammate to avoid getting tackled back right away.
Tempo Management
Adjust your playstyle based on how the match is going. If your team is ahead, focus more on defense to keep the lead. If you’re behind, play more aggressively to win back the Quaffle and create chances to score.
Advanced Techniques
Switch Between Chasers
In offline modes, you can switch between Chasers, helping with better positioning and more flexible plays. Use this feature to move your Chasers into good spots or to take control of a player in a better position to make a play.
Cancel Charged Actions
Sometimes a charged pass or shot becomes inadvisable. Use the Evade button to cancel these actions allowing for quick strategy changes mid-play.
One-Timer Skill
With the One-Timer skill, Chasers can make strong kicks when they get the Quaffle. Practice passing the ball to yourself and then boosting to meet it for a surprising long-range shot on goal.
Chaser Skill Development
As matches go on, Chasers earn points to upgrade their skills. Focus on the Quaffle Handling skill tree to boost carrying speed. The Teamwork tree improves passing accuracy, and Tackling skills help with defense.
Effective communication with teammates is key. Coordinate with Beaters to dodge Bludgers and find openings. Work with the Keeper for timely clearances that can set up fast breaks. In multiplayer modes, constant communication helps create complex plays and strong offensive pressure.
Mastering the Chaser role in Harry Potter Quidditch Champions takes practice, patience, and a good grasp of the game’s mechanics. Remember, Quidditch is a team sport—your individual skills are most effective when they help improve the whole team’s performance.
