• • Champions will be automatically granted rewards based on their current career level upon next login.

• Your Pro Quidditch rank and Emblem selection.

Market and Currency Updates:

The Market has received a redesign and been refreshed with new items for every category:

• • Any champions that had winged keys in their wallet will have them converted into gold upon next login at a ratio of 1 winged Key to 5 gold.

Challenge Updates:

• Daily and Weekly challenges have been removed.

• Career Challenges have had their rewards updated to accommodate market and progression changes.

• • Champions will automatically be granted rewards based on their challenge completion upon next login.

Custom Matches:

With this update comes Custom Matches, allowing players to create their own matches with a customized ruleset and then face off against their chosen opponents:

• Form the Teams – Use the Party System to form two teams of up to 6 players each.

• Host the Game – One team’s party leader creates the match, customizes the settings to their liking and selects their roles, once they’re done, a join code will be generated to pass to their competitor’s party leader. Game settings include:

• • Mode Selection

  • Map Selection

  • Score Limit

  • Quaffle Score Value

  • Snitch Score Value

  • Snitch Fill Rate

  • AI Difficulty

  • Allow Bot Fill (Pro Quidditch only)

• Join the Game – The other team will join the match by using the join code provided and selecting the roles they wish to play.

• Earn Rewards – Players will earn both Career and Challenge progression while playing in Custom Matches.

Map Changes:

• Added Weasley’s Burrow (Snow) to Exhibition and Custom Match modes.

• Added a new Hogwarts map variant, Hogwarts (Legacy), to Matchmaking, Exhibition and Custom Match modes.

Gameplay Changes:

• The Chaser’s “Tackling” skill tree has been reorganized and rebalanced to focus on tackle radius increases and less on tackle damage. By default, a Chaser will not be able to inflict damage when tackling an opponent, by utilizing the skill tree they can increase this to 1 point of damage (with 4 skill points invested).

• The Keeper’s “Kick Lunge” skill now reduces the lunge amount when you are far away from their goals – Keepers will travel the full lunge amount until they are around 40 meters away from their goal at which point the lunge amount tapers down to a minimum at 90 meters away.

• The impact of a Beater hitting the Quaffle with either a Bludger or a tackle has been increased.

• Added Ireland and Bulgaria as selectable teams in Exhibition matches.
