Yes, Players Can Stack Traits

Hogwarts Legacy - Players Can Stack Traits

Hogwarts Legacy allows players to stack Traits on the different gear they have equipped. This means that players can take multiple pieces of gear and equip the same Traits to those items to increase that Trait's effects.

List of Traits and Effects

Should You Stack Traits?

Good For Increasing Effects

Base Incendio Damage	249
Scorching I equipped on 1 piece of Gear	263
Scorching I equipped on 2 pieces of Gear	278

The table above lists the differences between casting Incendio as the base spell and its upgrades via the Scorching I trait.

Depending on the level of the Trait, the differences between the damage you inflict will increase with more gear that has the same trait stacked.

The choice is ultimately up to the player if they want to focus on a specific effect or if they want a well-rounded build.
