Does the Green-Flame Blade cantrip work with the Zephyr Strike spell?
Specifically, I am unsure as to whether the Zephyr Strike spell (XGtE, p. 171) requires you take the Attack action. Its description states:
Once before the spell ends, you can give yourself advantage on one weapon attack roll on your turn.
I'm unsure whether the making of this attack would fall under the Attack action, or if it could work in conjunction with Green-Flame Blade.
The Attack action is one type of action you can use in combat. There are other ways to make weapon attack rolls. For further explanation, see these related questions:
The cantrip green-flame blade is one such example of making a weapon attack roll without the Attack action. Its description says:
As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell’s range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects...
Zephyr strike does not mention the Attack action, but instead refers to:
one weapon attack roll on your turn
If you cast green-flame blade on your turn, and use it to make a melee weapon attack roll, then you are making a weapon attack roll on your turn. Thus it could work with zephyr strike.
