Niantic looks to be listening to the complaints of players as update 2.1.0 for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite brings changes to how Spell Energy is managed. Since the release of the game last month, common complaints have been about Spell Energy. In particular, the difficulty in getting it.
However the new update doesn’t really improve how players get Spell Energy. Instead it just makes the management easier.
For example, one significant change is that players are not able to see Spell Energy on the Map. This allows players to be able to make changes on when they visit Inns to refresh their Spell Energy.
Another important change is the players are now able to see the status of their Spell Energy when they enter a Fortress. This prevents players from unnecessarily joining challenges when Spell Energy is low. Finally, when a player joins a Challenge and is low on Spell Energy, a message now prompts them of that fact.
Other changes in the game with this update include:
- WIZARDING CHALLENGES:
- Added new Challenge Registry Page and Foundables, Symbols of the Wizarding World III
- Lowered the amount of XP rewards in early Chambers (1-8) and increased the amount of XP rewards in higher-level Chambers (9+)
- CODE NAME:
- You now have the option to change your Code Name through the Settings menu in-game! You can only do this once so please choose carefully.
- REGISTRY:
- Added new Encounters, including Neville Longbottom, Omnioculars, Exploding Snap House of Cards, Blast-Ended Skrewt, and Professor Flitwick!
