Hogwarts Legacy: Most Powerful Spell Combos

It’s important to remember the ongoing controversial statements by the creator of the Harry Potter franchise. CBR supports the hard work of industry professionals on properties fans know and love, and the wider world of Harry Potter that fans have adopted as their own. You can find CBR’s continuing coverage on Rowling here.

Hogwarts Legacy has enjoyed significant success, with dedicated fans craving magic-filled adventures and enjoying the chance to explore Hogwarts and its surrounding areas. The game has even introduced new fans to the magical world, keeping them engaged with its tremendous lore, fantastic combat system, and player customization options.

With a massive list of spells, every witch or wizard can control the battlefield as they see fit. There are spells for control, area of effect, and those that deal massive damage. While every spell is helpful in some fashion, their true power emerges when players combine them with other spells. Certain spell combinations are so powerful they can help even the newest spell caster easily take down enemies.

Updated January 18, 2024, by Anthony Jeanetta. Almost a year after its release, Hogwarts Legacy remains one of the most popular releases of 2023. This list is updated to reflect CBR’s most current style guidelines.

10 Levioso And Diffindo Lifts Adversaries In The Air To Then Slam Them Back Down

Instead of hitting enemies while they’re down, the combo of Levioso and Diffindo hoists enemies helplessly into the air and then hits them. The Levioso charm allows players to briefly levitate objects or opponents, leaving them immobile and vulnerable. Using Diffindo afterward subsequently deals massive damage.

These spells are an especially great combination for players to have at the ready when they’re near a body of water. Using Levioso on a Dugbog as it’s about to attack with its tongue and then hitting it with Diffindo will kill them in one hit.

9 Glacius And Petrificus Totalus Is Ideal For Finishing A Final Foe

Petrificus Totalus petrifies any target instantly. This spell is quite powerful, but players can only use it when not in combat and while next to their target. If a player faces only one enemy, the Glacius spell can help fulfill these conditions.

When a player, regardless of the house they choose, whittles down an opposing force to a single enemy, they can hit them with Glacius to temporarily freeze them. Freezing the last enemy takes the player out of combat, and once they approach the frozen opponent, they can use Petrificus Totalus to finish off the foe.

8 Those Unafraid Of Unforgivable Curses Can Use Imperio And Petrificus Totalus To Easily End An Enemy

Like the combination with Glacius, players can also successfully pair Petrificus Totalus with Imperio. However, those looking to be “good” witches or wizards will want to avoid this option because Imperio is one of the wizarding world’s Unforgivable Curses.

Using Imperio will briefly make an enemy turn into an ally and help take down other opponents. At the end of the fight, the player can get behind this new partner and cast Petrificus Totalus while they’re still under the effects of Imperio to end them.

7 Accio, Incendio, And Depulso Launches Opponents While Setting Them Aflame

Incendio is a powerful spell that sets objects and enemies on fire. However, the spell has an incredibly short range, so players must be directly next to their target to cast it successfully. While limiting, this short range makes Incendio a great spell to use in a combination.

Using Accio, a player can pull their target toward them, cast Incendio to deal damage, and set the enemy ablaze. Finishing this combo with Depulso will then launch the opponent away, dealing damage and keeping them away from the player as they burn.

6 Levioso, Accio, Descendo, And Depulso Is A Magic Juggler’s Best Friend

Sometimes, it’s fun to play with the enemy and do a bit of juggling. There’s a potent spell combination players can use to deal decent damage while keeping their target aloft. While the spells in this combo don’t do massive damage on their own, they help the player stay in control of a skirmish.

First, the player will lift the target with Levioso and then pull it close with Accio. Next, they’ll slam the enemy down with Descendo and finish the combination off by using Depulso to launch the enemy backward. To rack up some additional damage, players can work in other basic spells before casting the spells in this specific combination.

5 Confringo, Glacius, And Diffindo Is An Excellent Ranged Attack

Confringo is the Blasting Curse, a great spell for any magic user to have in their repertoire. The spell does damage on impact, inflicts fire damage, and has a long range. Paired with Glacius and Diffindo, almost any enemy will fall to a player’s wand when they cast this combination.

If the player uses Talents to improve each spell, this combo becomes even more deadly. Confringo and Glacius get an area of effect upgrade, and the enhanced Diffindo can simultaneously cut through multiple enemies. Burning, freezing, and cutting down an adversary is highly potent and can handle a group of enemies at a time.

4 Accio, Descendo, Incendio, And Glacius Packs A Punch For Close-Range Skirmishes

Players who want to get up close and personal with their enemies while dealing enormous amounts of damage, both physical and elemental, will benefit from the combination of Accio, Descendo, Incendio, and Glacius, a mixture of two purple spells, a red spell, and a yellow spell.

Players using this combo will pull enemies in with Accio, then slam them down with Descendo before delivering significant damage with the elemental spells. Incendio is a forceful fire spell for close range that leaves the target burning. Paired with Glacius, the enemy will rapidly lose health from flame and frost damage.

3 Use Disillusionment And Petrificus Totalus To Stealthily Take An Opponent Down

While Disillusionment and Petrificus Totalus aren’t technically combat spells, they are some of the most powerful enemy elimination tools at a player’s disposal. The Disillusionment Charm makes the player nearly invisible, and if they can sneak up on an enemy or magical beast, they can hit them with Petrificus Totalus.

Unfortunately, if opponents discover the player after using the Disillusionment Charm, they can no longer use Petrificus Totalus. Still, if the player is adept at sneaking up on adversaries, especially if they have spent Talents on stealth, they can take out an entire enemy encampment without a fight.

2 Transformation And Depulso/Ancient Magic Throw Turns An Opponent Into An Explosive

The Transformation Spell is one of the last spells players learn in Hogwarts Legacy, and, unsurprisingly, it’s one of the game’s most powerful spells. The spell itself doesn’t deal any damage, but it allows players to transform objects and enemies, completely changing their natures.

Transformation is exceptionally robust when paired with Depulso or the Ancient Magic Throw. This combination of spells can kill weaker enemies almost instantly. If the player has upgraded Transformation, the targeted foe will turn into an explosive barrel, essentially becoming a bomb that this spell combination will detonate, thereby injuring other enemies.

1 Curses And Avada Kedavra Are The Ultimate Destructive Force

This overpowered spell combo is ideal for those who have no issue using dark arts in Hogwarts Legacy. The combination focuses on the killing curse, Avada Kedavra, but only after a player upgrades it using Talents.

These cursed enemies will display a green “X,” indicating a player can curse them with various spells using Talents in the Dark Arts category. Once a player has cursed enough enemies, casting the upgraded Avada Kedavra on a single cursed enemy will simultaneously target ALL cursed enemies. A player can kill entire crowds through this chain via a single spell combination.
