About the game
What you do in a play session
Straight from the mists of Gen Con 2017, Xenophilius Lovegood arrives as an ally to give your fight against the dark forces in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle an extra boost! This card, part of the game's first box, isn't just another pretty face in your deck; it brings an immediate and super useful bonus to the whole team. When activated, Xenophilius grants ALL heroes an extra point of Attack and an extra point of Influence. Think of it as a little support spell that strengthens your group's offense and your ability to handle challenges. It's perfect for giving that crucial push when needed, whether to defeat a villain faster or to ensure you have enough resources to turn the tide. For those who already enjoy the cooperative experience of Hogwarts Battle and want to add an extra element of power and strategy, this card is a welcome addition. It doesn't radically change the game, but it offers a consistent boost that can make the difference between victory and defeat. If you're a Harry Potter fan who enjoys optimizing their deck building, Xenophilius Lovegood is an ally worth having around. It's one of those additions that, while simple, shows how small improvements can have a big impact on the game's cooperative dynamics, making each match even more engaging and challenging.
