If you are a big fan of Severus Snape, as you should be, you would most definitely want to play with a build that he would use if he was in the game.
In this guide, we shall show you the best Severus Snape build based on the books and movies which is not only close to the lore of Harry Potter but also very effective and powerful in the game.
Let’s get started.
Severus Snape Build – Hogwarts Legacy Build Guide
First things first, you shall need to choose the House of Slytherin if you plan to be playing with a Severus Snape Build.
This is simply because of immersion and roleplay purposes and does not have any impact or effect on the spells, but you will be able to get a couple of unique uniforms and gear sets from it.
Talents
This is how the talents should be looking like when going for the Severus Snape Build.
As you can see, you shall use a lot of the Core and especially Dark Arts spells, simply because they are very good in the game, and they might be used by Snape himself too.
These ones in the Room of Requirement spells are simply far too good to be passing on and we know that Snape would utilize a lot of the smaller tricks and skills.
An especially good one is the Fertilizer talent perk so that you can throw a total of 2 Chinese Chomping Cabbage.
The Dark Arts talents are the most crucial and needed when going for a Severus Snape build.
They are far too good to be passing and skipping out on when playing Hogwarts Legacy, but also skills that Snape has used and could have used himself too.
Make sure that you curse all the enemies first so that the DMG will be spread across a big AoE range.
The Core spells are one of the most essential because they make all the spellcasting by your character that much greater and in sync with almost every other type of spell or skill in the game.
These talent perks are a must for any build in the game really.
Spells
One of the most powerful and useful spells that you can do with the Severus Snape build is the Diffindo Spell.
It is a trademark of Snape in a way and will do just enough damage to both small and large enemies alike. Make sure that you take the Diffindo Mastery and level it up as much as possible
It goes without saying that using the Expelliarmus for Snape is crucial.
This is one of the spells that Snape uses in the movies and the books and it works very well with some enemies in the game that you can disarm and use their weapons against them.
Another spell used by Snape is the Levioso spell.
This is the closest thing to the spell that Snape invented in this game and it is also very powerful and useful to use in combat scenarios as well.
Snape would use Avada Kedavra and it simply is a must in Hogwarts Legacy.
It is a very powerful spell that you can literally shape some battle situations in your favor. It’s a must and we highly recommend it for this build, despite it being a dark arts type of spell.
Gear & Items
This is how the gear should be looking like when playing the Severus Snape Build.
It will give you a lot of HP as well as 288 Defense and 301 Offence which is a very strong build indeed.
Here are the individual piece and gear sets you need to go for:
- Handwear – Refined Dueling Gloves
- Facewear – Sanguine Mask
- Headwear – Leather Sorcerer Hat
- Outfit – Elegant Formal Uniform
- Cloaks and Robes – Geometric House Cloak
- Neckwear – Spring Ivy Scarf
Also, you need to add some traits to these gear and simply choose the ones that suit you the best.
Going for Snape, however, would mean the use of Herbology traits a lot and the use of Chinese Pumpkins for battle.
Also do not get forget that Snape is a master potion crafter. That means that using a lot of the potions from the game will be essential to make this build much stronger.
That’s all that you need to know about making the best Severus Snape Build in the game. We hope that this guide has helped you out with this matter.
