Often in D&D 5e, the best spell combos involve immobilizing the enemy and then dealing damage, or making movement hurt and forcing the enemy to move. There are also ways to lower saving throws before using a spell that requires a saving throw.
When you touch a creature, you grant it a measure of protection from death. The first time the target would drop to 0 Hit Points due to taking damage, instead the target drops to 1 Hit Point, which ends the spell. While the spell is active, if the target suffers an impact that might kill it instantly without dealing damage, that effect is negated against the target, and the spell ends.

Also, you can combine disguise self with fog cloud. In the event that enemies attack, cast fog cloud first, then cast disguise self to seem as one of them, or minor illusion to make an object to cover in. This is an excellent plan for escaping and hiding.
Firstly, transform stone into mud so you can move more slowly. After that, cast slow to further reduce AC and movement speed. After that, cast fireball to do lots of damage. You should do this in a group so you can do the maximum amount of damage.
On saves against all death spells and magical death effects, the subject gains a +4 morale bonus. Despite not normally being allowed one, the topic is granted a save to negate these effects. It is resistant to energy drain and to negative energy effects, including channeled negative energy.
For the duration of its effect, this spell does not remove negative levels that the subject has already gained, but it does remove the penalties associated with negative levels.
Despite the fact that those attacks could be lethal, Deathward doesn’t protect against other kinds of attacks. Death Ward should merely protect you from spells such as Finger of Death and Slay Living, which use the Death description. However, according to my DM, Disintegrate is a magic death effect because it is a spell, and therefore, its use against a living subject results in immediate death. We play D&D 3.0; I’m not sure how this applies to your game.
Death Ward may be a little pointless in your regular game. Even lichs and some of Saabilic Tan’s monsters almost never use insta-death spells, except for WoB (then again when he casts just run away from it, it takes a long time! Spellcraft helps here to inform you when to run it!) I think he has WoB as well, but the game AI is so utterly stupid that he never gets to use his deadly and scary spells! PW: Kill is used by him, so be careful with your low HP characters. Death Warding them is usually a good idea.
