Dueling Tips
Duels tip A - HOW:
click on the first letter by using your mouse or keyboard; once you click on the letter, it will start to pulse... try to hit the letter again when the pulse is at its biggest; the bigger the pulse, the more accurate and powerful the spell will be... then just repeat with the rest of the letters until you complete the spell. When the pulse is at its largest it will be lighter in color, be be sure to press it when it's almost white.
Duels tip B - PRACTICE:
yes, just like in potions, one must ALWAYS practice either alone or with a fellow Gryff.. since its still down, practice while waiting for your potions to finish... take advantage of that free time... you have 3 spell books to choose from: The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1), The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection and Curses and Counter-Curses
DON'T DUEL YOUR FELLOW HOUSEMATES TO PRACTICE! You have a limited number of duels per hour, so be sure to use the spellbook.
Duels tip C - PRECISION:
you will get a spell's maximum score if you press precisely on the letter and as soon as you see its circle at its biggest
Duels tip D - MEMORIZE:
spell casting usually moves very fast from one letter to the next so it's best to memorize how its supposed to go/look so that you won't panic
Duels tip E - OPPONENTS:
choosing opponents from the Wizard Duels page takes long so a faster way is to simply go to your Friends List and click Challenge
Duels tip F - SCORE:
in order to be assured of a win (and get 5 points), your spell casting score should be over 140. If you get anything lower than that, you better pray you have a better score than your opponent :) depending on the user, the spells that give the highest possible scores are the Full Body-Bind and Tongue-Tying Spell
Duels tip G - NOTIFICATIONS:
just like in potions, you also get notifications with duels so always check your notification page because there might be someone who wants to duel with you
Duels tip H - POINTS:
5 points is given to the winner of a duel and if you lose you don't get any points... if you duel with a fellow Gryff, you get 0 points - this is like the practice version of cure for boils :)
Duel tip I - POTENCY:
Every spell has a different maximum score. Check the duel book pages for specifics.
