Best Spells in Hogwarts Legacy

While there are various spells in the game, players will have to equip only four of them (or eight with the talent upgrade). Therefore, it is important to mention which spells manage to stand out as the best ones in the game. Here are the five best spells in Hogwarts Legacy:

1. Confringo - This is the main damage spell that players will use throughout the game. It has solid damage, a bigger range than Incendio, and can be upgraded to hit multiple enemies.
2. Glacius - One of the best combo spells in the game. Paired with Confringo or Diffindo, this can deal phenomenal damage and even one-shot some enemies.
3. Avada Kedavra - The strongest spell in the game by far since it can kill any enemy. However, it has an exceptionally large cooldown, which makes players think twice before using it on any enemy.
4. Imperio - A mind control spell that offers amazing utility by allowing the player to have an enemy fight on their side. Additionally, the mind-controlled enemy will have increased survivability to ensure it doesn’t die easily.
5. Flipendo- Flipendo stands out due to its phenomenally short cooldown. It’s a great way to get enemies airborne constantly without worrying about cooldowns. Additionally, it’s a great way to set up combos with almost every other spell.
   

Keep in mind that based on your playstyle, you’ll have to switch the equipped spells constantly. If you’re more focused on doing puzzles, you’ll almost never unequip Accio or Levioso. Instead, if you’re more focused on combat, you can even fill your slots only with damage spells.

Additionally, spells on their own don’t help much. Instead, the best way to take down enemies is by utilizing spell combos. For some of the best spell combos in the game, consider checking out the video below.
