Let's face it: combat in Hogwarts Legacy is not always the hardest, but it's plenty complicated. Only after crossing that Level 25 marker did I, an intrepid and inexplicably powerful fifth-year student, truly start to get the hang of its unique spell-swapping, potion-swigging, broom-flying mechanics. Even after beating the game three times over, however, there is one combat feature I have been wilfully neglecting until recently: the use of magical plants.
I've long heard whisperings of the troll-melting capabilities of the Herbology 3 trait, which applies a stackable damage buff to all combat plants once weaved into each article of your character's clothing. Messing around with planters, seeds, and fertilizer didn't sound like much of a party to me when I first played the game a few months ago, and it still doesn't now. But curiosity has finally gotten the better of me, and now, my green thumb is starting to match my robes.
