Patroclus could see where this lesson was heading, well at least he thought he did.
"Practice." Patroclus offered,
"having a well drilled knowledge of the spells in your arsenel. Knowing them inside and out." that was really sort of assumed preparation, Patroclus thought,
"Another way, could be to know your enemy, that's if you already had an idea who they are or will be." Patroclus thought this section of hs answer was more to do with Auror's etc.
"If you know théir strenghts and weakness you can be ready for them, prepared for sneak attacks, and such."
From his experience, some duelist had tells, signs that gave away their oncoming attack.
