[@fredashay]

I find combat to be the most boring part of this game. I just find myself merely mashing buttons mindlessly during most fights, casting Levioso, Accio, Incendio (I know Bombardio is better than Incendio, but Bombardio's cool down is too long and throws off my rhythm -- I keep Bombardio in my spell quad for Trolls, but I rarely use it for other enemies), then rapidly blast them with Basic Cast while waiting for the cool-down. I'm NOT saying they should dumb down or shorten the combat since so many people enjoy it, but I don't. For me, these long fights just take so much time away from following the story, especially when they throw an Armored Troll or two into the fight.

[@darkblaze8756]

[@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384]

The combat in this game is really amazing. Its really nice that they focused so much on getting such a core mechanic right.

[@ariarose2607]

Wigenweld 2 turns the potions into full heals, meaning you can carry 25 full heals to use during the invicibility time at 1HP. Give's a lot more room for those struggling with combat still

[@thenson1Halo]

I actually took Wiggenweld 2 without taking Wiggenweld 1. It doesn't do a full heal but it's a HUGE increase over the normal potion. I'm not sure if the 2nd rank is more potent than the first since I didn't take it, but it's possible. If someone wants to test that it may be worth waiting until level 16 if you don't want to take both.

[@ariarose2607]

@@thenson1Halo Using both allows a full heal from the invincibility frames

[@anthonymarciano6050]

It doesn't matter which you pick, if tou only pick one you won't get the full heal. I never bothered with either, I prefer protego and doge

[@TheRealCardoso]

I absolutely recommend the revelio mastery because you can see enemies before they appear on the mini map & also u can see far away chests in a large building that you may miss.

[@cmdrlightwalker_9877]

I agree makes exploration much easier. And you don't have to spam revelio every 5 steps either.

[@Noncropiant]

Can be really useful for popping baloons too, but isn't necessary. If you don't explore that much, it is not that good. Quite terrible for a whole talent point, I'd say. Very useful if you love exploring, but if not, extra range while normal is plenty already, is useless.

[@SherB-oz1ze]

Super useful. Thank you! Wish I watched your video early on😊

[@TheAllanmeadows]

Probably the best tips video I've seen for this game. Very good tips. I like the more ranged spell combos, so ending in diffindo. An alteration I use is to use arresto momentum as your levitate option. It lifts enemies just like the other control spells BUT with the curse talents you can cause it to also curse targets. This means even more damage for descendo or the red spells. Especially if you have unforgivable and/or concentration (damage to cursed targets/damage from spells) weaved into your gear. My go to spell loadout is; arresto momentum (cursed) -> descendo -> glacius -> diffindo.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thank you! I like that alteration too. I'll have to give it a try!

My man, thank you so much for pointing out the camera settings changes. I had no idea that they had the dead zone jacked up by default. Same with the other settings.

I also came straight over to Hogwarts from finishing my platinum on Elden Ring so a somewhat loose stick didn't even register with me.

[@Masquerade404]

8:08 I prefer the camera relative aiming so I can see if I am actually hitting an enemy.. I admit it sometimes is bothersome when enemies pile up on each other which makes it hard to select a specific target (to break shields), but that is where lock on comes in handy.. 15:57 Can confirm, I was level 21 when I finally unlocked talent points (from a level 5 quest).. Main reason I was 21 at that point was because I kinda went Skyrim mode and wandered off after they finally let me outside.. Also, I was playing Pokemon with all the pages and flying books.. GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL!!!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Haha nice! Yeah I think most of us definitely got off the beaten track as soon as we could.

Ive never been good at combat in games liking it mostly to math word problems of my youth, so I usually skip the combat in games. A lot has been helpful beyond belief in this video however, so thank you for the clarity. I was still very much scratching my head when you spoke of the camera and its settings in combat. I play on a switch and I really don't get it. Do you have or do you know of anyone who does have a video that works with a complete combat beginner with terms and what to do with them with camera settings, what they mean and how to figure out what works best with how you fight?

[@Magicmann]

For the camera targeting stuff: I recommend and love keeping camera relative off, the benefit of being able to initially point to someone with the left thumb stick and still targeting them if they are behind you and you don’t move the left stick again is awesome. One thing I haven’t tried that I realized while watching this is actually R3 locking onto a different enemy while my current one is behind me. It would be really cool if the R3 lock on feature was camera relative even if you have camera relative targeting off so you can quickly snap to an enemy without having to move left stick. I haven’t tried it, and honestly don’t even know if this made sense LMFAO

[@ArktixOfficial]

Nice! Glad to hear you like camera relative targeting off. It's my preferred playstyle as well. And that's an interested idea you have with combining camera relative off and lock-on targeting. I like it! Unfortunately, I don't like using the current lock on targeting because it forces the camera to follow the target as well. Makes sense on the surface, but I find it limits my ability to stay aware of other enemies. Anyway, thanks for your comment!

[@Magicmann]

@@ArktixOfficial I’m right there with ya! I thought of testing to see if the lock-on targeting is based on camera-relative targeting or not because I also just can’t bring myself to using the lock-on target. I don’t really like how the camera angle/distance changes when it’s activated, it feels zoomed in and restricts the intuition of just panning between enemies. It would maybe be better if it zoomed the camera out of anything. The only thing I do that I would consider weird is that instead of sliding camera acceleration all the way to 0 or 0.1, I actually maxed it out at 1.5. I know it sounds crazy cause I also am never a fan of sensitivity acceleration ESPECIALLY ON CONTROLLER but for me it still felt way too slow after turning the camera sensitivity all the way up. I tried leaving it at 1, and a few others, but maxed out acceleration kind of feels really nice honestly. It seems like the acceleration is applied over time rather than how far you push the joystick, but since it’s so fast you never have to hold a direction for too long at all, so I really never notice that the sensitivity is getting faster, but you can notice it for values lower than the max. I could be crazy, but I do recommend giving it a try. We aren’t aiming with the camera anyways, so turning a tad bit too much sometimes doesn’t really put you at a disadvantage. Although, I did not know that there was a dead zone feature, so I probably will try that as well. Steam controller layout settings could play a part in this too though, it could be defaulted in those settings to 0.1 so even if it is lower than that in game it wouldn’t change if the game is ran on steam.

Personally I have put accio, depulso, levioso and descendo on the same set since they all move enemies in one particular direction. The problem with associating spells according to specific combos is that executing a different one (ex: accio, descendo, glacius, incendio to levioso, descendo, glacius, diffindo) becomes much harder.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I was totally lost in combat. Hell, I don't remember ever seeing an orange or red circle. Combat is way more twitchier than I thought.

useful for a new player like me that i struggle with the camera in the moment of dueling( pin point to a specific target on PS5).and prioritize the spells.😅

I didn't know about the Ancient magic hot spots increasing the ancient magic meter. Definitely a lot of helpful tips here that that game doesn't tell you.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Awesome! Glad you were able to pick up some tips! Thanks for your comment!

Very helpful video, I'm aiming to do my 2nd playthrough without the usage of plants (other than for the duelling feats) and possibly not potions and obviously none of the curses which make combat way too easy. I think it will be an way more action focused run compared to the more story and exploration based run I had before. Will probably take a bit of a break though, just playing the game twice without break might probably make it a bit too boring in terms of the questline since different decisions kinda don't change the game
