Having trouble winning duels in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery? Check out our guide to every spell and tips for using them in duels, here.
The Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Dueling Club feature debuted about a month ago. While many players were excited about the limited-time PvP battle mode, some sizable kinks in the gameplay made the feature less than satisfying. One of the biggest complaints was the limited number of free tickets players were given to participate in the event and the rather sizable diamond investment necessary to purchase extras.
The event has returned, along with a small update to the ticketing system. Players will now receive an extra free ticket every three hours during the event, allowing a better chance of reaching the reward benchmarks. Additionally, there were changes made to the strength of different spells, as well as some balancing of the opponent's stamina.
The Duelling Club is a recurring but limited-time event, so to help you perform your best and choose which attacks are best for you. We've put together a small guide of all the dueling spells, and their updated damage or healing potential, plus information about high stat bonuses as well.
Happy Duelling!
