Hogwarts Legacy Best Spell Loadouts

Hogwarts Legacy's Spell system can get a bit unwieldy in the end game with four different Spell Wheels to switch between. In battle, sometimes the best thing you can do is pick four specific spells to stick to, depending on the type of enemy you are fighting. Here are some of the best Spell Loadouts we know of for Hogwarts Legacy.

Best Spell Loadouts in Hogwarts Legacy

The enemies you fight in Hogwarts Legacy all have unique weaknesses. Setting up one Spell Wheel to counter the type of enemy you are fighting can make a huge difference. It will prevent you from having to juggle with your arrow pad while fighting. Don't forget about your Ancient Magic while you are fighting either. You'll need to use it on a variety of enemies to complete Finishing Touches.

Best Spell Loadout for Dugbogs

For Dugbogs, we recommend that you use Levioso, Flipendo, Diffendo, and any another damage spell of your choice. These three spells will allow you to take advantage of their natural weaknesses to flip a dug bog on it's back or slice it while it is dangling by it's tongue.

Best Spell Loadout for Ashwinders

Most Ashwinders can produce a variety of Protego shields, so you'll need a variety Spell Wheel to counteract that. We recommend Diffendo, Arresto Momentum, Depulso, and Incendio or Confingo as your final spell. Having the first three will allow you to counter powerful Ashwinders like the Assassin or the Executioner. A fire spell will also help you to tackle any Inferi that an Ashwinder Assassin may summon.

Best Spell Loadout for Poachers

Poacher enemies produce specific Dueling Feats that you can achieve like freezing a Poacher Stalker or slowing a Poacher after they release their Blast Attack. We recommend bringing Glacius, Expelliarmus, Arresto Momentum, and Transformation. The last spell in particular is important when fighting Poacher Animagi. It will allow you to revert them back to human form instantly.

Best Spell Loadout for Loyalists

Loyalists have been harvesting Ancient Magic for themselves, and they will use it against you. Use Expelliarmus, Descendo, Arresto Momentum, and Bombarda. This will allow you to slam a leaping Loyalist to the ground or slow a Loyalist Assassin. Don't forget to use your Ancient Magic Throw to steal a Loyalist Ranger’s crossbow bolt when you have the chance.

Best Spell Loadout for Inferi

Inferi are a bit basic in nature. Going with a full damage Spell Wheel loadout of Incendio, Confringo, Diffendo, and Bombarda will clean them up quickly. That last spell is particularly important. It won't set Inferi on fire, but it will cause massive damage to an attacking Inferius, so long as it is already burning.

Best Spell Loadout for Spiders

For spiders we recommend using Descendo, Flipendo, Levioso, and Confingo. These spells will help you to set fire to Scurriours and Shooters when you need to, as well as bury an Acromantula's head into the ground before it can attack you.

Best Spell Loadout for Pensive Enemies

Most of these knightly soldiers can be easily disarmed with Expelliarmus. If you have the talent, you may also be able to use your Ancient Magic Throw to thrust disarmed weapons back at them. When you are fighting a Pensive Guardian, be sure to have at least one damage, control, and force spell on your Spell Wheel, to be able to counter the orb attacks they produce.

Best Spell Loadout for Trolls

Other than having to pay close attention to when you need to dodge and shield, having Flipendo equipped to your Spell Wheel, as well as damage spells like Bombarda, Confringo, and Diffendo will help you tackle Trolls. These spells will allow you to power through their meaty health bars as quickly as possible. It will also allow you to flip a Troll’s club into its face with good timing.

Best Spell Loadout for Mongrels

Mongrels are fairly basic enemies and will respond to a wide variety of spells. The most important one to have on your Spell Wheel is Depulso, which will allow you to interrupt them while they are charging. The other three spells you want to bring are up to you.
