Rusty's 10 Best Hollow Knight Charms

Rusty ranks his 10 favorite Hollow Knight charms, and how they can be used! Due to recent COPPA guidelines, Rusty has been finding great difficulty striking a viable balance between not being too vulgar so as to alienate new viewers, and also not being tame enough to accumulate pesky FTC fines. Experts say his psyche is breaking at the seams. But not even our best, most talented analysts could decipher whatever that intro was...
In short, we're all doomed.

[@shreeshfuup7058]

Great video! However, I must say: Quick Focus is actually a little better than you let on. I found that even in fast-paced fights like Pure Vessel, NKG, and AbsRad, Quick Focus let me regain that little extra tidbit of health that I needed to survive the battle. Personally, I feel that it is in the top three charms on my personal list. I wholeheartedly agree with you on Mark of Pride being insane. You pretty much can’t do anything if you can’t hit your enemies. Easy top 3. Same with Shaman Stone, spot 4-5. A charm I felt should be on this list was Sharp Shadow. This charm is either instant win or instant loss, so I can see why you cut it out, but since I always find myself spamming the shit out of Shadow Cloak to dodge enemy attacks, I usually think: Hey, why don’t I slap on Sharp Shadow? The extra hit it does is just very useful, and the only problems I have with this charm is that the extra dash length makes parkour pretty much impossible and often leads me to dashing through a boss’s attack into the boss. Another underrated charm is Dream Wielder. It can be extremely useful with most pretty much any boss you can get soul from dream nailing, as well as with not dying while exploring. Surprisingly, ignoring all the memes, Gathering Swarm is one of the best exploration charms, allowing for a lot of saved time and geo from killing enemies, opening chests, and breaking deposits. Obligatory Wayward Compass joke Now... it’s paragraph time!!! Personally, I feel like Quick Slash is overrated. It is pretty overpowered for basic enemies and chonky bosses, yes, but most of the difficult bosses move so fast that Quick Slash won’t even give you that much bonus damage. For example, in the Mantis Lords fight, when a Mantis Lord throws their boomerang thingies, you can hit them 3 times in a row normally. Quick Slash extends this to 4 hits, granting you an extra 33.3% damage, whereas Strength will give you a total extra 50% damage, because that is how it do be. With Troupe Master and Nightmare King, the same problem shows up, as even with Quick Slash it is near impossible to hit Grimm more than once or twice per attack, barely increasing your damage. Shaman Stone, too in most situations can give you insane added damage. In the mantis lords fight, why walk up to a Lord and smack them with your nail when you can just Yeet two Vengeful Spirits at them, dealing 4 times as much damage? Why dodge all of Grimm’s attacks when you can just spam desolate dive and abyss shriek and - oh, he’s dead. My point is, although Quick Slash is a good charm, Strength is just as good, and if you’re good enough to not die, or willing to grind out the 15K geo it takes to unbreakify it, then it always trumps out Quick Slash in any nail build. Bosses like the Brooding Mawlek and Flukemarm that just let you smack the infection outta them are not as common as one might think, as there are many small and nimble opponents such as Hornet that Strength or Shaman Stone help you far better with. Keep in mind, this is my personal opinion. The way I treat these charms revolves around my play style, and my experience with Hollow Knight. Every charm (Except for Heavy Blow) is great in its own way, and has at least one great use in specific situations. With that being said, Ciao.

[@BanermanArthropide]

Quick focus made all the difference for me when fighting NKG

[@phlapjakz]

Honestly this list would be almost just like mine if dashmaster was replaced with sharp shadow. I just *love* that extra dash length and chip damage, it makes pure vessel and some other bosses much easier imo.

I feel an honorable mention is gathering swarm. It cuts out one of the most tedious parts of playing the game, taking a few seconds to get all dropped geo for only 1 slot. Not to mention when geo dropped on the spikes or places you don't want to bother going. Out of the countless bugs you slaughter how much of that time do you spend going around getting the geo you so desire? Definitely not a combat worthy charm but a must-have for farming and general exploration for me.

[@TJ-hg6op]

My end game build is quick focus, shape of unn, fragile/unbreakable strength, quick slash. Quick focus drains through soul, quick slash gives crazy soul, quick slash and strength get extra damage, shape of unn allows for healing at any time especially with quick focus. Everything works together for the perfect aggressive build. If this sounds dumb, I beat pantheon of hallownest twice in a row with this. Shape of unn is an underrated gem that allows you to heal even during abs rad.
