Spell combinations in combat

[Falaris]

Okay, so, as most of you know, some spells trigger extra effects. I'll list a few of the ones I know, feel free to add others. This is NOT about how to do combat in general, but specifically spells that has special effects against particular enemies.

1: Troll Headache. Some trolls use a double-handed slam into the ground, making them off-balance for a bit. During this time, if you use flippendo on it they'll bonk themselves on the head with their club.

2: Scuttling spider - while they are trying to dig down into the ground, levioso will autokill them.

3: Shooting spider - a fire spell while they are preparing a shot at you will put them on fire and reduce them to 1 hp.

4: Matriarch Spider - when it rears up to attack, a descendo will plant their head in the ground for a while.

4: Dugbog(I call them bogdogs) - while they are preparing to use their tongue to attack you, levioso will lift them up by their tongue. If you follow up with diffendo, they are automatically killed.

5: Sentinels - expelliramus followed by Ancient Magic Throw throws their own weapon at them to decent effect, but it's not autokill.

6: Pensieve Guardian - be aware that the orb works like shields. You need to match color to be effective against it.

I notice that if you hit a dark wizard with expeliarmus while they are charging a spell (those long spells that take a couple seconds for them to cast) its an insta-kill. Also, if you freeze a dark wizard that is charging that fire pillar spell it will kill them instantly.

You can grab Goblin Rangers crossbows out of their hands when they are firing and throw it back at them.

Depulso on a charging hound destroys it.

The dueling challenges pretty much teaches most these pretty sure. The freaking "steal goblin ranger arrow" had me confused the entire game until i grabbed one near the end of the story lmao, I was thinking we would be able to pickpocket

My favorite combo was freeze then slice, MOST the time it was huge damage/instant kill, same with transfigure + ancient throw(best with transfigure talent)

I like levioso/flipendo + depulso on any enemy close enough to a cliffs edge.

Aren't all of those written in the bestiary? Basically every enemy has a weakness like that.

My favourites:

Trolls: Protego when a troll throws a rock, and ancient magic throw the rock back at them. Puts them in a special vulnerability state where if your spells hit hard enough can instantly delete them.

Executioners: When they try to either call down a lightning bolt or a fire vortex, Expelliarmus causes them to lose control of the spell and nuke themselves. Puts them in a special vulnerability state.

Dugbogs: Dodge their charge and hit them with Accio to flip them on their back. Other spells work, but Accio leaves them closer. They take more damage like this, but not as much as when being levitated by their tongue.

Duelists: Diffindo while they're casting an unblockable to spin them so that their spell hits one of their friends.
