About this mod Machine translation

Distribute the excessive damage of the fourth base cast evenly across all base casts to make the damage output more stable.

Consistent basic casting

🎮 **Make combat smoother and cast spells more freely! **

In the original Hogwarts Legacy, when using a basic spell (such as "Swoon") consecutively, the first three attacks did very little damage, while the fourth attack dealt unusually high damage. This design forces players to perform a full four-hit combo to get the best damage output, limiting combat flexibility.

This mod changes that completely! ✨

✨ Core Functions

  • **Damage Leveling**: Each base cast now deals the same damage. No longer are you forced to hit four times in a combo just to get high damage!
  • **Improved Combat Flexibility**: Whether you use cooldown skills after just one or two attacks, or perform continuous output, your damage will be more stable and predictable.
  • **Maintain Balance**: The module adjusts by averaging the two damage values ​​​​of the original version to ensure that the total damage output is basically the same as the original version, but more evenly distributed.

📊 Specific changes

The mod modifies the following values ​​in the game data file:

  • **140 Stunned damage**: adjusted from **3** to **8**
  • **142 Stunned (critical hit) damage**: adjusted from **23** to **8**

**Final effect comparison**:

  • **Original Damage**: 40 + 40 + 40 + 307 = 427
  • **Mod Damage**: 106 + 106 + 106 + 106 = 424

The total damage is almost the same, but the experience is completely different!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
