If the majority of Harry Potter fans were asked which position they prefer to play in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, they'd probably say Seeker. The position is very much in the spotlight on the Quidditch Pitch, as Seekers are responsible for chasing the Golden Snitch, which, at least in the cinematic universe, is the key to automatically winning a match. Beaters, Keepers, and Chasers are also very important, but they are played quite differently.

The position of Seeker might seem simple at a glance, but when analyzed in depth, it's evident to see that it isn't. Players assuming this Quidditch position not only have to focus on the Golden Snitch, but also on avoiding Bludgers and Beaters trying to thwart their efforts. Here are some valuable tips to play Seeker in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.

5 Master Drifting

Swift Turns Are A Must When Chasing The Golden Snitch

Momentum can be the difference between winning and losing an important match

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions combines speed, agility, quick reflexes, and a strategic approach, which means that if any of those elements are missing, winning matches can be difficult. One of the most important aspects Seekers (and any other position, for that matter) should prioritize is maintaining momentum, and being able to turn quickly without slowing down too much. While the elusive golden ball is only worth 30 points instead of 150 in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, proper drifting can still be the difference between winning the World Cup, and going home defeated.

The Golden Snitch is quick as lightning, that's no secret. To avoid being caught, it will constantly move erratically from one place to another. Mastering drifting in the game is key, as it allows players to make quick turns and follow the Golden Snitch much more closely. Granted, the Golden Snitch usually goes from one side of the arena to the other, but it's often those quick turns once it reaches the edge that allow it to create more distance between itself and the Seeker. By mastering drifting, players can make that turn a lot quicker, thwarting the Golden Snitch's efforts to gain an advantage.

4 Take Advantage Of The Focus Feature

Using focus on the Snitch can help Seekers keep track of it.
Combining focus with drifting can help Seekers catch the Golden Snitch quicker.

Being able to toggle focus on and off, depending on players' needs isn't anything new, and certainly not something Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions invented. Regardless, taking advantage of this feature allows for more control and greater visibility, thus decreasing the chances of losing sight of the Golden Snitch, no matter its speed or erratic movements.

The focus feature is automatically enabled in Quidditch Champions, so players can ensure that the Golden Snitch won't sneak right past them and land in the hands of the opposing team. Seekers should always consider using it if they lose sight of the objective. This little adjustment might even help a few players get out of Hogwarts' castle grounds and qualify for the World Cup.

3 Aim For The Golden Rings

Go Through As Many Boost Rings As Possible

Practicing broom steering is critical to ensure maximum control.
Flying through most of the Snitch's golden rings can help catch it much quicker.

Those who played Hogwarts Legacy and rode a broom everywhere might think they already have advanced flying skills. However, flying controls and steering sensitivity are quite different in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, so they'll have to practice for a while before getting the basics down.

Part of being a Seeker is being able to not only chase the Golden Snitch, but also fly through the golden boost rings it leaves behind on its trajectory. While it's not necessary to fly through every single golden ring to get enough momentum to catch the elusive ball, aiming for the majority of them can be of great help and result in a considerable advantage over the opposing team.

2 Focus On The Other Seeker

Bumping Them Can Be A Great Way To Get Closer To The Golden Snitch

Bumping other Seekers causes them to lose momentum.
Players can steal the other Seeker's momentum and use it to get closer to the Golden Snitch.

Every position in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has its own importance and requires a series of skills to perfect. Chasers need to be fast and have catlike reflexes, whereas Beaters need strong arms to launch the Bludger at Keepers, which must be very agile to keep Quaffles away from their goalposts. Seekers, on their part, need to have eagle eyes, nerves of steel, and sometimes, a little willingness to bump players from the opposing team.

While it would be considered unsportsmanlike and in poor taste in many Muggle competitive games, Quidditch allows one Seeker to bump another as they're chasing the Golden Snitch. By doing so, players can cause damage to the other Seeker and steal some of their momentum, thus slowing them down, while they are propelled closer to the prized Golden Snitch.

1 Keep An Eye Out For Beaters

Keeping an eye out for Beaters and their Bludgers is key.
If players get hit too often while chasing the Golden Snitch, they'll fall off their broom.

If Seekers have one natural enemy, it's Beaters. While their job is not exclusively to prevent Seekers from catching the Golden Snitch, it's very common to have the Bludgers they hit with their wooden clubs strike an unfortunate player about to grab the elusive winged ball. Ever since the days of the first Harry Potter movies and the open-world PS1, and PS2 games, Bludgers have been a problem, so Seekers need to keep their eyes open.

By watching out for Beaters from the opposing team and the Bludgers they purposely direct their way, Seekers can ensure that their journey towards catching the Golden Snitch will be mostly uneventful. Players must remember that if they're hit several times while chasing the Snitch, they will fall off their broom, putting them at a massive disadvantage against the other Seeker.
