For Players Who Love Curses

Although an unforgivable curse doesn’t quite match the character, players who enjoy the opportunity of this spell can take advantage of adding it to the Harry Potter build inHogwarts Legacy. This was one of the two unforgivable curses that the character used during the story.

Incendio

Perfect Spell To Deal Damage To Enemies

Although it’s not a spell that fully matches Harry Potter’s dueling style, Incendio is one of the most powerful spells inHogwarts Legacy, capable of dealing large amounts of damage to nearby enemies. Therefore, for players looking to maximize damage during combat, this option is fundamental.

Moreover, Incendio complements other spells that Harry would use, such as Expelliarmus and Accio. This creates opportunities for combined attacks, and allows players to exploit opponents' moments of vulnerability. So, even if it doesn’t fully match the character’s concept, players who wish to maximize dueling potential in the game will find the spell essential.

Disillusionment

Great Spell For Stealth

The Disillusionment spell is not geared towards direct combat, but enables the character to enter stealth mode and gain an advantage against enemies. This concealment ability allows players to pass unnoticed by adversaries, avoiding unwanted confrontations and ensuring a more cautious approach in dangerous areas.

In addition to being an effective tool for escaping duels, Disillusionment can also be used to surprise enemies. The temporaryinvisibility allows players to prepare surprise attacks, taking advantage of better positioning to catch opponents off guard and dealing more damage before they react.

Make The Build More Balanced

Unfortunately, some classic spells that Harry Potter uses arenot available for his build inHogwarts Legacy, such as Expecto Patronum. However, players can be creative and choose other options to keep the spells balanced. One of these options is Arresto Momentum, which offers significant control over enemies.

For example, with it equipped, it’s possible to reduce the speed of objects, giving players more time to plan. Therefore, it is extremely useful when the protagonist is surrounded by many enemies and players can’t handle them all at once.

Accio

Perfect For Controlling Enemies

During the narrative of the books and films, Harry Potter became known for specializing in different spells, and many of them are available for his build inHogwarts Legacy. Accio is one of these options that players should master during the journey through the game. It is also extremely useful.

Although it doesn’t deal damage to enemies, Accio can be used in many builds due to its utility. It not only pulls adversaries towards the player, but also automatically casts Wingardium Leviosa on them. With enemies levitated, players have a window of opportunity to attack them.
