i min-max. if u care about character-driven builds u r in the wrong place :P
ARC is a stat Quidditch players have no use for. If you're in this for the long haul and not planning to pivot to something else, leave it at 0 and never think about it again.
Max out ACC and EVA, then pick one of two directions for the third stat.
STA is the safe and boring choice, but it works for anyone likely to draw fire (aka Savior Chasers & team carries with high ACC). With saving rolls sitting around 23 these days, 15+ STA means you pass those without breaking a sweat, and even if you drop into negative HP a Savior can rez you at 1 HP. The only way to shut that down is for the enemy to deal 175% of your max HP in a single round, which realistically only Dopplebeater can pull off (and a lot of teams would still need a nat 20 to get there given their weaker lineups). To put that in perspective, Jorah Moussa, the highest STR holder in site history at 27 STR with broom and Obnoxiously Strong, only hits 2025 on a single bludger. 175% of 15 STA (1500HP) is 2625.
The other option is WIS, which opens up a sneakier build where you cheat more freely and can moonlight as your team's third Seeker if needed. Pick one and commit, splitting them just makes you mediocre at both.
STR is a scam under most circumstances. What are you going to do with it, Body Blow? Contested Quaffle Grab? High enough ACC means you will unlikely to be in such situation, so only consider it if you've run out of places to put stat points after maxing everything else.

Basically a 4th Chaser who also happens to be the only one that can guard the hoops. Everything in the Chaser section applies, just don't forget the hoops exist every once in a while.

See Chaser section above; either build works, pick STA or WIS.
Basically a 5th Chaser, except you're holding the highest leverage win condition on the field. Most rounds you're either searching for or going after the Snitch, but during chase phase you're free to run regular Chaser shenanigans in the meantime — scoring, fouling, save duty, whatever floats your broom.
All three stats matter and there's no easy answer for which to max first: low ACC means you can't catch the stupid snitch, low WIS means you can't find the stupid snitch, and low EVA means you won't survive long enough to do either.
And unlike your average Chaser who might go an entire match without anyone caring about their existence, congratulations! You're everyone's favorite target practice. Expect to be someone's priority hit list in the first two rounds, guaranteed. Because that's just part of the Seeker lifestyle.
All Chaser abilities apply.

Follow the WIS build under Chaser aboveh.
Unlike every other role, STR isn't a scam here! OMG! With 27 STR you can dish out 2025 damage and one-shot our resident HP record holder (which is Koko Riddle with her 20 STA/2000 HP, but please don't do that, having 10 EVA is just asking for trouble) — assuming, of course, the opponent for some reason hasn't assigned save duty, since anyone running that can pull off a 1 HP rescue as long as the target clears the STA roll. I alrdy covered why that's hard to prevent in the Chaser section.
You need all three stats. Defender actions need EVA too so do not neglect your EVA, and STR determines how hard you hit while ACC determines if you hit at all.
Everyone seems to be going Durmstrang-style lately, stacking ACC/EVA while letting STA slide, which probably means STR is quietly losing its place in the arms race. Keep it around 18 after Obnoxiously Strong and broom bonuses and prioritise the other two. Jorah might go down as the site's first and last 27 STR Beater.
Ability Priority
Obnoxiously Strong > Fearless > Rebound > Broken Broomshaft.
Also grab the Chaser core stuff since The Muggle Condition's +3 ACC is too good to pass up, and with the 2025 new patch, dual-wielding is less of a gamble now that one Beater can go ham with two bats while the other handles the dirty work, which also makes Foulplay worth considering.
Pick anything from the Chaser Misc list, but skip the team-buff abilities (Calming Presence, Sixth Sense, Lovely Creature), Beaters already have enough must-haves so just let your Chasers handle the support stuff.

Broken Broomshaft is more underrated than people give it credit for (past-me included). It's the only ability on the site that can meaningfully pressure a Savior chaser, because once it triggers, whoever gets saved can't immediately return to their broom — they're stuck, and later in the match the team is forced to either run a Two-Headed Dragon or transfer that player onto a teammate's broom, either way tying up actions and locking the Savior out of save duty in the meantime.
Whether it's worth picking up comes down to one question: does the opposing team have a Savior chaser?
