All Hogwarts Legacy Spells And The Best Ones For Combat

Counting all contextual spells, there are 31 learnable Hogwarts Legacy spells. Of these spells, you can allocate 23 to up to four different spell slots per loadout. You can get up to four loadouts at once by unlocking the relevant Hogwarts Legacy talents with points you earn by leveling up. Learning the spells in the open-world game will happen either by attending class, as a reward for completing assignments or learned during main story missions. Here is everything you need to know about them.

Best Hogwarts Legacy spells for combat

The Unforgivable Curses are probably the most useful spells but have a negative stigma. For those who don’t wish to delve into the Dark Arts, the best spells for combat are:

Expelliarmus Confringo Accio Descendo

You won’t get all these spells immediately, so when choosing your loadout, the best configuration is to have one yellow spell, one purple spell, and at least one red spell (if not two).
We’ve chosen these spells because they give you the most bang for your buck. For example, Confringo will launch a fireball at your target and, if upgraded, will fire off extra fireballs when it hits an enemy to home in on any other target. Expelliarmus is particularly handy against other wizards and any goblins with axes. It sadly won’t knock a troll’s club out of its hands, but they’re tougher than most regular enemies.
As for Accio and Descendo, you want spells that keep enemies in the air and as close to you as possible. Accio will bring far-away enemies close to you so you can easily hit them with your basic attacks. Upgrading this spell makes it affect more than one target. Descendo will cause lots of damage as you slam the enemy’s face into the dirt before floating in the air for a short time. Flying enemies will take extra damage from this spell, helping you handle their speed.

How to use spells in Hogwarts Legacy

The Hogwarts Legacy spells can be split into two groups: slottable and essential. While you can choose your favorite slottable spells to keep in your “spell diamond” for quick access and can change them around at will, essential spells are deemed more crucial by the developers and are more likely to be needed in any situation – Revelio is one of these.
By pressing the spell key (T on the keyboard and mouse or right on a controller’s d-pad), you can allocate spells to each of the four spell slots. Your four chosen spells are shown in the spell diamond in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. You can cast them by pressing the numbered key, holding the controller’s right trigger button, and pressing the relevant button.
Eventually, you can unlock up to four loadouts for 16 equipped spells, which you can switch by scrolling with the mouse wheel or holding the right trigger on a controller and pushing one of the four d-pad directions.

How does Avada Kedavra work in Hogwarts Legacy?

The Avada Kedavra spell is no doubt the most infamous spell in the wizarding world, and the darker wizards out there may be wondering how it will be used in Hogwarts Legacy. It’s a powerful spell, instantly killing its target, so you’d think it would be a pretty game-breaking spell in a videogame, right? Avalanche Studios has considered this and seems to have worked out the perfect balance for the killer spell.
First of all, yes, you can use Hogwarts Legacy unforgivable curses, and yes, Avada Kedavra will instantly kill an enemy. As you can probably imagine, the cooldown on Avada Kedavra is considerably longer than any other spell in the RPG game, so make sure you use it wisely. You can, however, use certain Hogwarts Legacy potions to reduce that cooldown.
That’s everything we know about all the Hogwarts Legacy spells. You may be wondering just when the Hogwarts Legacy Room of Requirement will appear before you, who the Hogwarts Legacy characters are, and is Harry Potter in Hogwarts Legacy? Even more importantly, perhaps, is your house, so if you don’t want to leave your sorting up to chance, make sure you know how to import your house and wand to Hogwarts Legacy, and you’ll be rewarded with exclusive house robes.
Alternatively, you can tweak your adventure with some Hogwarts Legacy mods to add in a Shrek broom or make those pesky spiders a little less scary. There’s also a mod to make the fast travel Floo Flame statues shut up, which is good, as they talk far too much.

Warner Bros. has the license to make games based on Harry Potter. While the details of that deal aren’t publicly known, and WB Games says, “J.K. Rowling is not directly involved in the creation of the game”, it is likely that, as the creator and owner of the Harry Potter IP, she will earn royalties from its sales.
