How to upgrade spells in Hogwarts Legacy
At Hogwarts Legacy of Everything 40 levels, for the first 4 talent points are not given, in total the student will have 36 skill points. The total number of talents to choose from is 48:
- Help-room - 8 skills.
- Stealth - 4 skills.
- Basics - 17 skills.
- Spells - 10 skills.
- Dark Arts - 10 skills.
Improvements to learned spells are unlocked at various levels, expanding and enhancing those spells. For each spell, the new level looks different. For example, for Stunned, pumping gives additional damage, and for Levioso, it allows you to raise not only the target, but also its surroundings.
How to use spells
The use of spells will be shown at the very beginning of the game. By pressing the attack button, you use the most common spell. It is not the strongest, but it is an important part of any combinations.
By holding the attack button and pressing one of the four buttons, you can apply the studied spell, which must first be placed on the crosspiece. It is located in the lower right corner and contains only 4 spells. Such a system leaves room for many builds, since you will have to choose spells wisely.
Of course, spells have their own cooldown and spamming them without stopping will not work. Each spell, depending on its meaning, has its own rollback time. After applying, you will notice that the image from the cross has disappeared and gradually reappears.
Top 10 Best Spells in Hogwarts Legacy
Despite the large selection of spells, there are still top 10 best spells in the game that stand out for their strength or improvements from talent leveling.
Flippendo
Flippendo is on the list, albeit in last place, as it is a good way to control the enemy. It looks especially useful in the context of a battle, when the enemy does not need to be thrown back or pulled: just put into a long-term immobilization.
Incendio
Incendio is in the top for several reasons:
- The spell is actively used in solving riddles: light torches, destroy cobwebs, and so on.
- When pumping talent, this spell becomes a great way to fight off the crowd of enemies surrounding the wizard.
- By itself, the spell hits quite hard, but the downside is the short range of damage.
Glacius
Glacius, like all spells of this type, is great at controlling enemies, allowing you to roll back other skills or move a short distance. In addition to good containment, the skill, if pumped, will deal damage to nearby targets.
Depulso
Depulso performs well in various combinations based on control: Accio - Depulso, Levioso - Depulso, Descendo - Depulso. In addition, this spell is great for battles on high ground: one cast and the enemy flies down, dying. Therefore, it is in the top 10 best spells in Hogwarts Legacy.
Expelliarmus
Expelliarmus is an extremely powerful spell, as it literally takes the enemy out of combat for a while. In addition to the base damage and the ability to take away the weapon, the wizard can throw this weapon at the enemy, dealing massive damage. The improvement will allow you to apply a curse, because of which opponents will die even faster.
Confringo
Confringo is another fire spell. Of the advantages, it is worth highlighting a large distance of destruction, the ability to destroy objects to move further, as well as an improvement due to which a projectile, hitting a target, releases homing charges.
Imperio
Imperio makes the target a companion who fights for the wizard for a while. He takes less damage from his former associates, which makes him really useful: if not as an assistant, then as cannon fodder. In addition, such a companion cannot be targeted, eliminating the possibility of accidentally killing an ally. The spell occupies the top of the top due to the ability to equalize the chances in battle.
Crucio
Crucio takes second place thanks to his massive damage output. The damage to the enemy does not immediately, but still, most likely, it will kill the target. The victim of Crucio gradually loses his health, tormented by pain, and cannot enter the battle any further. Thus the curse becomes both a control spell and a damage spell.
Avada Kedavra
Avada Kedavra is by far the most powerful spell in the game and takes first place. Despite the long cooldown, this curse is a universal way to deal with the enemy. Even if the opponent is stronger than the wizard by 15 levels, he will not be able to resist this spell. On the plus side is the fact that there will be no punishment for using Avada Kedavra.
The best spell combinations in Hogwarts Legacy
In-flight control combination
One of the simplest and extremely effective and effective combinations is the combination of Might, Control spells and normal attacks. First, you use Levioso on the enemy so that he is in the air, then you cast Depulso. Due to the fact that the target is already in the air due to the first spell, it will fly much further.
When an enemy hits something and takes damage, you need to cast Descendo to complete the combo. In between casts, don't forget to use your base spell.
Ice cutting
Initially, it is necessary to apply Glacius to the enemy in order to freeze and immobilize. After that, any spell from the Damage section must be applied to the frozen target, Diffindo is best. This spell has the most damage on a single target.
In addition, enhanced versions of both of these enchantments are capable of hit nearby enemies: Glacius fires bolts and Diffindo cuts right through. This combo will more than double your damage.
Max melee damage
This combination is suitable for fighting at a short distance: at will or according to circumstances. Cast on any target first Accio, when she is attracted, throw her on the ground with Descendo. After the enemy bounces off the ground, freeze him with Glacius and finally deal damage with Incendio.
This combination, among other things, Can deal damage to a group Enemies if you pump all the skills: Accio attracts several opponents, Descendo creates a shock wave, Glacius releases charges, and Incendio hits the area around.
Instant kill with transformation
The transformation is suitable for fighting with the crowd, as it neutralizes one opponent. However, if attack the enemy barrel, then it will “disenchant” and the enemy will fight again. If you use Depulso on a barrel, it will fly far away and you will no longer need to fight this enemy.
