Stupefy in Hogwarts Legacy is a counter Spell that stuns enemies after successfully shielding an enemy attack. Stupefy is one of the most basic spells in the game and 1 of 8 Essential spells. Although basic, it is one of the few spells that all master wizards and witches must master.
How to Get Stupefy
Luckily players won’t have to wait too long before learning this powerful spell.
Stupefy is simply learned during The Path to Hogwarts quest at the beginning of the game. During the quest, players will have plenty of opportunities to practice Protego and Stupefy on statue enemies before arriving at Hogwarts.
Players will also learn Lumos, Protego, and Revelio during The Path to Hogwarts.
How to Use
Press and hold the Triangle button (Y for Xbox) when an orange circle surrounds your character’s head for a successful Protego. Then let go of the button to perform Stupefy. Stupefy will stun an enemy for a few moments after being hit.
Red circles that surround your character’s head are attacked that cannot be blocked with Protego. Instead, these types of attacks must be dodged.
