There are three different kinds of wand cores available: phoenix feather, unicorn hair, and dragon heartstring. To determine if you should select a phoenix core, dragon core, or unicorn core in Hogwarts Legacy, it’s best to know everything about this.

In Hogwarts Legacy, there is only one core that a wand can have, and you can select which core you want to use on your first trip to Ollivander’s. You can choose the wand’s style, color, wood type, length, flexibility, and core when it eventually decides to pick you. It’s critical to select the core that best fits your playstyle because the core will affect how you play. The whole list of in-game cores and their benefits is provided below:

Dragon heartstring core: Dragon heartstring serves as the core of a wand, known for producing powerful magic.

Unicorn hair core: The hair of a unicorn serves as the core of a wand, known for producing consistent magic.

Phoenix feather: The feather of a phoenix serves as the core of a wand, capable of producing a great range of magic.

Core details:

If you desire a powerful wand that “learns” more quickly than other wands, use a dragon heartstring core. Remember that with great power comes great responsibility. These wands are more likely to cause mishaps and are the greatest choice if you want to specialize as a dark wizard.

If you choose reliability over strength, pick a unicorn hair core. Although it will never let you down, this wand cannot be used for dark magic.

If you want a powerful and adaptable wand, go with phoenix feather core. However, this wand may act independently and is somewhat obstinate.

Your personal preferences will determine whether Phoenix Feather, Unicorn Hair, or Dragon Heartstring is the best wand core to select in Hogwarts Legacy. According to the broad mythology of the Harry Potter universe, each core has advantages and disadvantages.

Do you want a wand that is strong but unpredictable? A very dependable but not as powerful wand? You must have those in mind when making your decision.
