If you’re here, you’re probably looking for some wand combat tips like how to block/parry/counter. For now, we’ll focus on the countering other combatants. Mastering this skill will be invaluable during your time with the game. If you get the timing down, you’ll be able to take on enemies in large groups, or even enemies that are much higher level than you. Let’s get into it and see if you can put your combat skills to the test.
Hold Protego Into Stupefy
When you see the golden insignia above your head, you probably already know that it’s time to cast Protego. This will block the attack. However, if you press and hold the button that casts Protego, you’ll follow your block with Stupefy. This will stun your opponent or a different nearby opponent. Getting the timing down for this is crucial. Once you’ve mastered Protego and Stupefy, you’ll be practically unstoppable. This combination will help you take on groups by stunning enemies and thinning their numbers.
Follow-up With Combinations
Whether you’re fighting a group or taking on a single enemy, you want to press the advantage after casting Stupefy. While an enemy is stunned, this is the perfect time to whip around that wand and build a hefty combination of attacks. Toss them into the air, pull them toward you, throw them around, and pepper in those basic attacks. Don’t let them regain their footing if you can help it.
Doing this will also allow you to charge up your ancient magic, which is also invaluable as you progress further and further into the game. Building your ancient magic will allow you to use absolutely devastating attacks and finishers against your enemies.
