Hogwarts Legacy Imperio – How To Use
Befriend An Enemy
Imperio basically makes an enemy unit an ally for a couple of seconds. This grants you an additional body in the field that can hit enemies and damage them. Also, it is an additional target that the enemy must contend with, taking a bit of heat off of you during the thick of a fight.
Upgrade When Possible
Imperio’s Talent upgrade allows the affected target to spread curses. Cursed targets receive more damage and when combined with other spells, a battle can be significantly turned to your advantage. Purchase the Dark Arts Talent for the Imperio as soon as you can after learning it. Imperio’s talent upgrade also greatly helps an upgraded Avada Kedavra.

Target Strongest Foes
Imperio can be used on targets such as Loyalist Commanders and Ashwinder wizards and witches. Aside from that, the curse is also effective against large trolls. Seek out the strongest enemy in the field to maximize the effects of Imperio and to make difficult fights into cakewalk.
No Disadvantage
Apparently, the world of Hogwarts Legacy is not too hard on Unforgivable Curses provided that you are the one using them. Using curses like Imperio has no effect on your play as the game does not have any morality system present. You can even use these spells in front of your professors and friends (just don’t mind their disgust!)
