Obviously, it's always better to not take damage at all, but Grubsong is a desirable safety net that stacks well with other Charms anyway, so it's almost always worth having it equipped.īy pairing it with Quick Focus and Deep Focus, the Knight can heal two Masks (AKA HP pips) at a time instead of one. Using the Grubsong Charm, taking damage will grant Soul as well. Hitting enemies always grants Soul after all, and Soul is Hollow Knight's version of an energy gauge used to cast spells and heal. But, that doesn't have to purely be a negative thing. Taking hits in Hollow Knight is a near certainty for everyone (not just beginners) considering how high the time-to-kill is for the average enemy, it's only a matter of time before the Knight takes a couple of hits of his own. In exchange, Focus animation is now 65 percent longer. With this combo, players can literally just stand there swinging away with their Nail and the opponent can't do much about it at all, at least for a little while.ĭoubles the amount of Masks healed when using Focus. Then, on top of all that, Dreamshield works as a way to prevent taking unnecessary little chips to the Baldur Shell from projectiles. However, Baldur's Shell doesn't stop this percentage from going up like one might expect it would, so the hits the shell takes for 0 damage actually count towards this percentage, making it so that the Knight usually can block an additional hit after the Shell breaks. Normally, Carefree Melody has about a 10 percent chance to block the next hit when the Knight gets hit once, and that percentage jumps up by another 10-20 percent with every subsequent hit, capping at 90 percent (AKA 7 hits). To elaborate on how this build works a bit more, it's pretty centered around Carefree Melody and the 'block chance' this Charm steadily builds as the Knight gets hit. ![]() When using Focus, players will automatically Block up to 4 hits.įor the ultimate tank lover, this combination of Carefree Melody, Dreamshield, and Baldur Shell is a great choice. Spore Shroom and Thorns of Agony make sure that whoever hits the Knight will most likely take some damage too while Quick Focus and Grubsong allow the Knight to heal through most of the damage he'll take. Additionally, it's one of the worst combos to use for raw damage output, as this combo is meant for those who know they're going to get hit pretty often and would rather bunker down and make the fight last longer ( as if the game wasn't long enough) but win than die quickly and retry.īasically, it's a combination that makes it easier for the Knight to regenerate and use Soul as well as punish those who gathered the Soul by hitting him. This next recommendation is one of the rare combos on here that utilizes 4+ Charms without sucking up most of the Charm Notches all at once. Can also read Lore Tablets in the Fungal Wastes. Can understand Mister Mushroom with this equipped as well. Spores on cooldown for 4.25 seconds pass or until the player takes damage. Normally Lifeblood cannot be regained and is lost when sitting at a bench or taking enough hits, but the Hiveblood Charm actually regenerates the Lifeblood Masks created by Joni's Blessing, albeit at half the speed it normally would (20 seconds).įocus releases a cloud of Spores. But, in exchange, these Masks are impossible to heal via Soul. A charm synergy exists between Hiveblood and Joni's Blessing, for example, which increases the Knight's masks (AKA his HP) by 40 percent and changes all his masks to Lifeblood Masks instead. This is where Hiveblood helps the most.īut this is a Charm combo list, so here are a few builds to help make the Path more inviting. Because the Path of Pain has very few enemies to fight, building up Soul to heal is, in most areas, impossible. Hiveblood, however, is a Charm that passively restores one 'mask's worth' of health over the course of 10 seconds, as long as the Knight avoids getting hit again in this small window. Added as a secret area in the free Grimm Troupe DLC, the Path of Pain is a brutal platforming challenge designed to be painfully difficult, even compared to the base game. ![]() The quality of this DLC is a testament to why it is one of the most beloved Kickstarter games in history. ![]() Though it's not part of the main game, this wouldn't be a Hollow Knight Charm list without mentioning the Path of Pain and Hiveblood. Also causes Lifeseeds to flock to the player instead of running away from them. Increase Masks by 40 Percent and all Masks become Lifeblood.
