The Best Spell Combos In Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world game that enables lifelong Harry Potter fans to realize their dream and attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Inside and outside the classroom, they will learn a wide variety of new spells from their professors and friends, some of which are more powerful than others.

While optimizing builds can be great for those looking to complete the game faster or on harder difficulties, at the end of the day, Hogwarts Legacy is a game, and fun should always be taken into consideration. Thankfully, there are plenty of fun spells available, and combining them in unique ways can produce unexpected results. The best spell combos in Hogwarts Legacy are highly satisfying to execute and do a great job of convincing fans why the combat of the game has such great synergy.

Updated on December 23rd, 2025, by Joe Grantham: Hogwarts Legacy has a new influx of wannabe wizards and witches thanks to the Epic Games free giveaway, meaning that fun spell combos are in greater demand than ever before. Although it will be a while into the game before players learn all the spells for these combos, the desire to pull off these moves can motivate players to unlock them sooner. Some of these new combos are both strong and fun, while others are merely fun and often great for roleplaying in Hogwarts Legacy.

17 Accio + Flipendo + Depuslo + Descendo

The Full Force Combo

If players fancy playing as a Jedi Knight in Hogwarts Legacy without the need for mods, they can combine all four Force spells together. Really, they can be used in any order to make enemies swing around like rag dolls, but Descendo is best used last, pummeling the foe into the ground as a finisher.

While this combo may lack damage, it's the perfect way to teach a dark witch or wizard a lesson and embarrass them, while also being one of the most fun combos. The only downside to using spells of the same type is that only one color of shield can be broken, so players will need to switch if the enemy uses yellow or red shields in this case.

16 Incendio + Confringo + Bombarda

A Fiery Combo

A favorite of pyromaniacs, this fire combo will deal more than enough damage to finish off most enemies in style. While technically only Incendio and Confringo are classed as fire spells, setting enemies aflame for ticking damage, Bombarda is thematically on point as it is an explosion.

There is plenty of AoE potential with this ability, too, as Incendio is fired off in a short cone and Confringo sends off incendiary bursts all around. As Incendio has a short range, however, it may be best to use Depulso after Incendio, sending the enemy away before hitting them with Confringo and Bombarda.

15 Imperio + Protego + Ancient Magic Throw

Control Enemies, Stay On The Defense, And Send Foes Flying In The Air

While the Harry Potter cinematic universe taught fans of the franchise that using unforgivable curses was restricted to the bad guys and a big no-no for the heroes, Hogwarts Legacy takes its fair share of risks and lets players use them liberally. While still an unforgivable curse, Imperio is arguably the least cruel of the lot, as it doesn't inflict pain on the targets it hits and neither does it kill them—all it does is turn them into mindless puppets for the caster to control.

By using this spell combination, players can control their enemies and then protect themselves from incoming attacks through Protego. Finally, the combo can culminate in an Ancient Magic Throw that can devastate enemies.

14 Levioso + Descendo + Confringo + Flipendo

Lift, Slam, Burn, And Twist Enemies

Spell combinations are usually a lot shorter than this one, as sometimes casting several spells leaves players open to attacks. However, when they manage to chain a combo like this together, the result is not only devastating to enemies, but also quite fun.

First, Levioso lifts enemies in the air, rendering them unable to attack players, then Descendo slams them mercilessly into the ground, causing significant damage. Confringo is the perfect follow up for this, as it does fire damage to the caster's target, and finally, Flipendo is used to flip enemies in the air, break purple Shield Charms, and leave enemies open to attacks.

13 Glacius + Incendio

Burn And Freeze Opponents

There's not a lot of elemental synergy going on in Hogwarts Legacy, so it's always nice when players get an opportunity to maximize their damage by making the most of an opponent's vulnerabilities. Such is the case when players learn both Glacius and Incendio, letting them make the most of one of the best Hogwarts Legacy spell combos they can get their hands on.

Glacius freezes foes and turns them into a sitting duck for the new fifth-year student who can saunter up to them and unleash a damaging blast of Incendio for extra damage. It's a humiliating way to defeat opponents, leaving them unable to react as they become sitting ducks for the player to attack.

12 Transformation + Ancient Magic Throw

Turn Enemies Into Explosive Barrels And Chuck Them

Transformation is one of the most humiliating spells players can learn. Turning enemies into inanimate threats while players focus on other opponents is hilarious and adds to the allure of this game's excellent combat system. To make things worse for the protagonist's enemies, they can upgrade the spell to turn enemies into explosive barrels.

This allows players to use Ancient Magic Throw and chuck this explosive barrel at another enemy for serious damage, adding insult to injury. It's one of the most satisfying Hogwarts Legacy spell combos players can execute in the game and the fact that players don't need to map two spells on their spell wheel to achieve the same is a testament to the relative ease of executing this combo in Hogwarts Legacy.

11 Levioso + Descendo

Bounce Enemies Like A Tennis Ball

Levioso is one of the first spells players will learn in Hogwarts Legacy. It allows them to quick-cast a combat-ready version of Wingardium Leviosa that leaves smaller enemies helpless as they're left stranded in the air. Players can either take potshots on enemies after casting this spell or leave them hanging as they focus on other enemies.

However, there's another spell players can cast to humiliate their opponents once they complete Professor Onai's assignment. Descendo smashes players to the ground, and using this spell along with Levioso enhances the damage and leads to one of the best Hogwarts Legacy spell combos players can unleash in the game.

10 Accio + Incendio

Pull Enemies In And Set Them On Fire

As individual spells are learned throughout the game, many of the best spell combos in Hogwarts Legacy are temporarily unavailable to those at the start of their magical journey. With this in mind, one fun spell combo that uses spells from the early game is Accio into Incendio.

This is not only a great combo, but as Incendio, a fire spell, has an extremely short range, pulling enemies in with Accio is one of the few ways to make this spell work. With the Accio Mastery Talent unlocked, players will be able to pull in multiple enemies at once before setting them all on fire with Accio's area of effect damage.

9 Transformation + Depulso

Turn Foes Into Barrels And Throw Them Around

One of the most fun spell combos to use, even if it is not the most reliable, is the Transformation and Depulso combo. After transforming one enemy into a barrel, players can try and position themselves so that they can fling the barrel into another enemy. This is even more fun with the Transformation Mastery Talent which makes these barrels explosive.

Alternatively, the barreled-up enemy can be flung into a wall with Depulso or even off a cliff if one is available. This will instantly kill the enemy. If players have the Depulso Mastery Talent unlocked, they will release a second shockwave around them, perfect for situations where they are overwhelmed but still want to pull off this fun combo.

8 Imperio + Petrificus Totalus

One-Shot Enemies After Using Their Help

Petrificus Totalus or the Full Body-Bind curse is one of the most overpowered spells in Hogwarts Legacy, as it can one-shot enemies. However, it can only be used out of combat on unsuspecting foes, such as when players use the Disillusionment Charm to sneak around.

Interestingly, if players save the toughest enemy for last, such as a large troll, they can use the Imperius curse to technically take themselves out of combat and subsequently walk up for an easy Petrificus Totalus one-shot. This is even more satisfying when used on foes who have taken out most of their allies while under the effects of Imperio. While this does feel a bit like cheating and makes the game easier, this extent of callousness would not be out of character for a true Dark witch or wizard.
