Deciding which charms to equip in Hollow Knight is one of the most compelling parts of the game. Until you realize you can just equip Shaman Stone, Quick Slash, and Unbreakable Strength for the rest of the game and never switch. Everyone has different playstyles, however, and many other charms might be more suited to yours. This tier list can give you some insight into which of these charms might be worth using.

This video was originally just going to be an "underrated charms" video, so apologies if the tier list isn't perfect. I do see a lot of little adjustments I'd make already, but as long as it gives people a generally idea of what's good, that's cool with me. Join my discord to discuss! discord.gg/ZJmY9aH

When I was fighting the Soul Master on my first playthrough, I kept jumping straight into the boss's attacks, but Dreamshield just went: "Nope, not doing that!" and blocked like 90% of the attacks I was gonna crash into. That must've been some insane luck. I still won't say Dreamshield is the best charm, but this was a funny experience I wanted to share.

Love the Baldur Shell discussion after having watched you use it in Abs Rad! I was definitely that beginner who used up all the charges and was like "this charm sucks" lol
One other use for Heavy Blow is the Delicate Flower quest. You want enemies to stay off you as much as possible, and if you’re impatient like me (or you’re trying to deliver it to other characters that aren’t the grave), you’re gonna be encountering enemies because you didn’t clear the path beforehand. It was especially helpful when I took the flower to Oro because of all the Hoppers that respawn regardless. Heavy Blow makes dealing with them _so_ much easier, especially paired with Mark of Pride. Kingsoul also finds a niche in this quest by allowing you to stay completely at range and throw out Shade Souls without ever coming close to an enemy.
Something that I think is worth mentioning is that lifeblood heart does have a good use tied to Grubberfly's Elegy: when taking damage with lifeblood, you don't technically lose health, so until that lifeblood is gone, you can afford to Actually take a hit or two if necessary. This fact is especially useful in the pantheons once you unlock the lifeblood cocoons, as using the following charm combo basically allows you to just walk at bosses while spamming from a distance until they die, and believe me, it WORKS. Also, one thing to especially keep in mind is that grubberfly's doesn't get rid of your regular nail hitbox nor it's damage output, so against larger foes like Failed Champion, you can actually have both hits, the nail and the elegy projectile hit, connect at once, effectively dealing 48 damage per nail swing. - Strength - Quickslash - Lifeblood heart - Elegy Honestly I've kinda become enamored with this charm loadout. It's a lot more useful than one might imagine.

I know that Grimmchild is useless and sometimes even annoying (like on path of pain), but I love him so much that i couldn't place him that low even if he deserves it. Also Deepfocus is in my opinion very underrated. If you combine it with quickfocus and shape of unn you are pretty much invincible. I know a person who played all game with that combo.

It’s not that you use Defender Crest to kill the blobs vs Lost Kin. It’s that it kills them automatically if they’re about to attack you about 95% of the time. This means that when you heal, they hit your stench and pop like a bubble, instead of making it almost impossible to heal. Just as Hiveblood is possibly S-tier for a beginner in White Palace, this is amazing for a beginner vs Lost Kin.

I still really love dream shield tbh. Situational kinda, but it can really save you in fights like Coliseum of Fools and Radiance that have a lot of projectiles.
Grimmchild is really handy if you're struggling with Sly's final phase. You don't even need to attack Sly, just dodge and your little buddy takes him out pretty quick. I don't really use the charm but it did help with that Pantheon
The only 2 things that I don't share with this is Grimmchild being so low in D tier and Void Heart. It's true that Grimmchild has terrible aim and it's hell in Fog Canion, but it's definitely better than glowing womb against most - if not all - of the bosses where the "spawner" gimmick works well. This is because : 1) It does more damage 2) It doesn't drain soul. 3) It's devastating against Failed Champion because it's safe to spell spam when he's at the center, something that you can't do with GW So I'd put GC in C tier, just above Glowing Womb For Voidheart I understand that the effect is just... Nothing? But it IS free, so... It's free. P.S. If you're playing from PC, I'd consider modding the game (it's very easy, many tutorials on KZread too). Install the "Charm Overhaul" mod: what it does is basically make not very good charms better with various adjustments, create multiple new charm interactions and allow to switch between Grimmchild/Melosy and King/Void. All the info is listed in a file that you can read with Word when you install the mod.

It's perfect in places like Waterways if you're having trouble with those little things that dart at you on sight so you don't get swarmed to death, especially when you fall into the water. In exchange for being a 1-notch crutch, you gain no soul from the damage. It's probably not meant to be used professionally, especially if you have good timing and recovery.

Did you know that in Waterways, those tiny baby flukes can't actually hit you more than once if you just don't move? Their turning radius is too wide, they just swarm around you and don't touch you unless you move quickly, so if they hit you, just stop moving, wait for them to get close, and hit them easy with tonnes of time to spare. The moment you move quickly they'll be all over you, and if there is a straight path to you they'll almost certainly hit you the first time they go for you, but it's hilarious how much damage you can negate by not moving, especially if you make them take an indirect path to get to you, like by just standing on a high platform in the Flukemarm fight. You can have like ten of them swarming around you without touching you at all. Eventually one will hit, but you have tonnes of time to lash out at the ones who get close.

I love using Mark of Pride + Longnail for Sly. It gives you just enough room to very easily hit him during the second phase right after he finishes spinning his nail
Dreamshield has a special place in my heart because I had a really tough time with the balloon guys that spawn in the lost Kin fight and the extra range of the shield helped me deal with them really effectively
Sharp shadow is good. Sometimes, in a fight where you’re shadow-dashing a lot (eg. traitor lord) the extra damage really builds up. Plus, sometimes when you have a low health, high powered enemy (eg. last phase sly), it’s safer to just shade- cloak through it a bunch to whittle down most of its health so you can tank a few hits at the end. The extra length can actually help a lot if you get used to it, it can let you dash through stuff you might not have been able to before (eg. failed champ). Plus only two charm notches is not bad for free, safe nail hits at your leisure.

Dreamshield does the same damage when dashing through an enemy, while also providing defensive utility against projectile attacks. Both charms take 4 notches to get the increased damage from their charm combo (Sharp Shadow + Dashmaster, Dreamshield + Dream Wielder) the dream set-up having the better upsides imo with the same per hit damage. TLDR: Sharp Shadow & Dreamshield are actually pretty similar and Dreamshield is only D tier if viewed as an entirely defensive charm.

This is the most down to Earth, genuine, entertaining and interesting tier list I’ve ever watched. Tier lists have become very stale for me and, not just that, but I never really loved them to begin with, because they often don’t feature deep discussion of the reasoning behind things, and often feel tacky and lazy. You have genuine opinions that are well thought out, are willing to think things through and adjust things, and you actually have interesting, unique, original takes that feel like true opinions, formed from knowing the game and keeping an open mind, rather than meme picks or “unpopular opinions” that are actually just negative, popular ones. You just earned yourself a new sub! Between this and your Boss Tier List, I’ve gained a lot of respect for you and your work.
I feel like Stalwart Shell being so similar to Steady Body is like those bugs or snakes that evolve to look like something dangerous

Nice tier list ^^ It helps when playing through the game casually. I did actually genuinely appreciate Dreamshield much more than how you were describing.

Something I haven't seen talked about much is how shape of unn can let you low-profile under a lot of projectiles. Off the top of my head I know you can low-profile under Grimm's 3-shot projectiles and get free heals during that attack. There are also some enemies whose targeting get thrown off by the low-profile, allowing you to completely dodge an attack without moving and get free heals. Another little tidbit is that there's a spot in the white palace where you can use shape of unn to low-profile under a buzz saw and skip a portion of the challenge.

So a few things 1) Reading through the comments, I was honestly surprised to see that people who like sharp shadow are in the minority 2) He mentioned offhand how defenders crest helps with lost kin. I think he underrepresented this a bit. Lost kin's gimmick is that it's a small boss that takes knockback, and it has a ridiculous # of staggers. This boss is a joke with the right charms. Use defenders crest to simply negate his balloon bois while he's staggered for a free heal or two, quick slash, heavy blow, and steady body to pound him into a corner. Just facetank whatever he does and go back to whaling on him as soon as you can. He staggers often enough that you don't have to worry about health. 3) Kingsoul is really good for the delicate flower quest. I understand grubsong is better in every other scenario, but when you're not allowed to get hit, Kingsoul is surprisingly good. 4) I straight up did not understand the mechanics of baldur shell before this. And kinda still don't, but thanks for somewhat enlightening me. 5) I got addicted to gathering swarm in my first playthrough, now cannot play without it. I know the inconvenience is so incredibly minor, but I prefer to murder everything in sight while I'm just traipsing through Hallownest, and I'm just lazy about picking up geo. Easy S tier for me 6) All of the additional health/additional lifeblood plus Joni's blessing and hiveblood is amazing for white palace
Extremely helpful thank you :)
