Your opponents will be using yellow shields, so to dispel these shields, use your Control spells like Levioso. Once their shield is down, continue attacking them with your basic wand attack until their health is depleted. You’ll win the round once both opponents have been defeated.

Since you’ll be fighting against two opponents, it’s best to practice using the lock-on button which will help you later on in much challenging fights.

If you want to duel again, you can talk to Lucan once more. You can also bring a friend as your duel partner or just join a duel on your own.
