HOLLOW KNIGHT ► Top 10 Worst Charms

You know, I think it's officially reached the point where this channel has finally started to collapse under its own arrogance. I've only made like 99 jokes about how overrated, low-effort, throwaway tier list videos are, but I haven't just been a part of it. from one on someone else's channel, it also happened to be a video that almost every regular viewer of my Hollow Night content has requested at some point and I really should have seen it coming if I'm honest. I mean, rankings and tier lists are perfectly viable video concepts that a lot of people enjoy making and watching.

In reality, it was only a matter of time before my big mouth said something that would stop me from taking advantage of it. I officially and legally declare that Under no circumstances are you allowed to disagree with this video or any of my preferences there, lest you receive a subpoena in the mail and it may be written in orange crayon and it may not even be a real document, but uh you're getting on to something okay, I'm sorting through over 40 amulets so this miniseries will probably be long enough anyway so let's do the thing that cures two masks at once at the expense of the process taking almost as long. double time.

If we're going to kill here, I'd rather have Joni or the sole leader because deep focus takes so slow to charge that it seems almost completely useless without fast focus to normalize the healing speed, but still, oh well. I just allocated seven charm notches for double the healing without equipping any other buffs. I don't know, I've never seen the use of this charm, much less the use of combining the

charms

to focus them together on the same build. be useful for nkg or certain dream fights that deal double damage, but being able to heal twice as much as normal at the expense of more than half of the total charm slots and the entire game doesn't really seem worth it to me, not even a little bit if you're going to go out of your way to dedicate seven amulets to the sloth to something, wouldn't you rather keep the focus fast and I don't know?

Put in some nail polish

charms

that allow for a faster and more aggressive play style, this charm is already underpowered and valued for the space it takes up in your build, so it has some pretty big balls that demand an additional three from the start alone to make it usable. The next sprint master is a charm added by the grim troop expansion that you can buy from Sly after acquiring the merchant key, it costs a measly 400 G. Oh, and damn, you'll hate yourself for even paying that, something you had a hard time earning. G. Oh, you could have spent better in 57 different situations you could have invested in. an apple or you bought yourself a nice couch to put in your living room or something you could have given yourself, but no, no, you spin it with an amulet that makes you walk in a direction a little faster as if there wasn't already An amulet. in the game serving exactly the same purpose at the expense of an extra notch of charm and also being twice as good in the process Jesus Christ.

I've never seen a more condescendingly hilarious use of the word teacher in my life, it's a charm that makes you run a little faster than you already do, that's it, that's literally all it does well. I guess it makes the spiders you summon with Weaver's song a little faster too and makes them jump higher too, so yeah, if you care about that. then sure, there you go, sprint master. I've been agonizing over this paragraph because I legitimately don't even know what to put here. There's no way I can explain the use of this spell without greatly exaggerating how shitty it is or just describing it. normally and bore me to sleep the spore fungus is a single slot amulet that fits literally nothing because it's designed to be replaced by better amulets later on your ship seems to lose all sense of decency or manners and just lets out a gigantic A cloud of toxic farts around wherever you heal causes about as much damage as spilling warm coffee on someone's thigh and then simply throwing it away.

Has anyone ever killed something with this? No, I mean, I certainly think you might like that the damage isn't that insignificant, but I have a hard time imagining that anyone has actually learned this, read its effect, tried it, and been so impressed with it that they decided to use it more than once because once was all I needed to seal my opinion on this charm, it is a single slot charm. That's literally it allows you to talk to people. I can't even make jokes about this. Let's be honest. If you learned this and expected it to be good, then your disappointment is really someone else's fault and here we have hive blood, another niche. and an incredibly situational charm that's barely worth half the space it has the confidence to demand from you like it is with all these four slot charms just sucking ass, you're actually cracked in the head if you think I'm about to take up space for for amulet slots when this thing could be put to better use collecting dust under Korn's bed AFER this amulet has a purpose and we all know exactly what it is: to make the white palace gauntlet work a little more convenient for you when you fail in a jump and you split your head open on a circular saw for the 800th time in a row there is so much preparation for this spell and I think that's what bothers me.

Is this the reason you really wanted me to come to the hive so you could do it? Clash swords with a giant bee that vomits up other smaller bees because sure, ooh, I just ended up with a badass fight in this badass room that leads somewhere else, is it going to be pale or maybe a mask shard or I don't know Maybe it's another gentleman? . The mushroom thing, no, it's a charm, oh, it takes up four spaces, that means it's good, right? You can regenerate health. Wow, that's great. I wish there was another way to regenerate health in the game that doesn't involve waiting 15 minutes.

It's not like there's a big red button the game gives you for that exact purpose. Wever's song is a charmer that I've actually heard others say is pretty underrated, so I was a little excited when I picked it up and started trying it out. I don't really know what to expect from this, it seemed pretty straightforward at first and someone even told me that Grubb's song can be paired with Weaver's song and allow them to give a small amount of soul every time a Weaver Ling attacks an enemy that is from 3 to To be exact now, I don't know if everyone knows this by heart, but the capacity of your main soul pool, without any vessel fragments, is 99.

Casting any spell or using focus to heal requires 33 souls, so that's 11 times. these hatchlings have to attack something before you can get any tangible use out of it and that's with another charm casting song that does the heavy lifting here and takes up half the space now that I've heard passive builds are really nice . decent with the right amulets in this game, but may I ask a stupid question. You are in a game. You have a shiny pointed weapon and I know you've hooked up at least a couple of upgrades because of where you are with this amulet.

You have the ability to grow wings, turn into a shadow, and can summon giant white ethereal missiles from your face, why would you want to dedicate yourself to a passive build that allows you to just walk around and survive everything else on the screen like who wants? To be that guy, do you really want to go down in the history of the sacred night as a trick? Honestly, I think that's the best way I can describe charms like these, they're just gimmicks. I don't see any use in them other than looking cute. Don't look at me like that, it's not my fault.

I thought all the spells and expanding Grimm troops were bullshit. If I didn't know any better, I'd even go so far as to say that's why they put Divine here in the expansion. You might still get some comeuppance by upgrading your fragile charms to unbreakable ones like that's a big conspiracy theory of mine, but I really feel like whoever conceived these charms knew they were Dick Grimm the boy, it's a story-specific charm than the clumsy Lee. is anchored to the Grimm Company main questline progression, he's a good amulet that offers good offensive power and takes up a good amount of space in your amulet build, so why am I so mad about it ?

Oh, maybe because you need that damn thing to fight. gremlin this charm takes you way more liberties than necessary for who made that rule oh it's part of this story rusty don't you know anything about yeah yeah yeah okay sure it's part of the story but why Does that have to happen? Can't I use those two extra amulet slots for an upgrade that I really think would benefit me in the fight? And if you're going to do everything you can to attach this amulet to my build tightly just so I can finish the expansion. So can I at least use it?

Damn bastards, beer-battered balls. We've got a killing spree at 5:00 here, boys, you gotta get out of the way, sir. Here comes the Sun King, he is great. I heard he was in. the Marines with over 300 confirmed kills yeah yeah every time people use that old fashioned copypasta they don't even know it's actually the king sold the Hollow Knight amulet they reference but didn't you know you're an idiot , the Sun King trained for years and Heavyweights slap competitions in Russia and is only intended to be worn by the toughest of the tough. The Sun King needs a couple of traffic cops ten feet in front of him at all times to prevent people from getting hit by his huge swollen head.

Imagine waking up. one morning and just thinking that you're worth five amulet slots in someone else's build. You better get some unpleasant effects from this amulet. I want to see my spells turn into giant clumps of multiple rocks and I want to see my nail turn into a fucking flamethrower. This thing better give me firebending powers. I better be able to lift mountains and shoot lightning bolts from my eyeballs to get a five-slot amulet. I can only imagine, oh, it regenerates the soul at the blinding speed of two units per second. Oh boy, look. getting this amulet is not designed for combat, but you can equip it to be on the list, but don't worry if you beat Nightmare King Grim despite all that, but shit, you'll eventually get the big reward of being able to do so. wait Wow, holy shit, you actually made this spell worse.

I can't believe you did this NIM. I don't even know what to say to this. I'm impressed. The higher level you have, sir, is like trying to do it. taking a shower and accidentally setting your house on fire like you're really going to sit here and screw this up. That carefree bad tune has a chance to block incoming hits from your ship and prevent you from otherwise taking damage from anything the more hits you take. the next attack will most likely be blocked. Once you take a hit, the charm effect resets. Now I'm not a math person, I think everyone knows that, but luckily I don't have to be since I'm an editor. for the holo night wiki by the name of brigmore actually took the time to do all that for us, basically due to various probability measurements and because math says so, the speed at which this spell blocks attacks gives you effectively 29 percent more health than you had. before, but you won't always understand that sometimes it may block more and sometimes it may not even block anything at all.

I mean, it's a big possibility, but I bet someone out there wearing this has had so much bad luck that an amulet that's inconsistent becomes really easy for me to hate and this amulet straight up admits that to you before you even put it on. , like yes, I can block damage for you, I won't tell you how much, although I might not even block anything, I guess you won't know until you do it. add me to your build what D&D backwards is supposed to be Schrodinger's charm this feels like a joke I didn't get this far in the game only to be taunted by a magical piece of metal Oh oh my god Wow shiny whoom This doorbell isn't just a meme, it's a meme that's not even funny, it's an old troll-faced meme with a bold ten-stroke shock font that's only been archived in the bowels of the internet because it really is that vapidly disappointing and monochrome .

The glowing womb turns your strength and soul into small winged uses that attack their enemies by flying towards them and exploiting this spell feels like a tax payment simulator, all your soul and hard-earned resources with which you fought become toxic butterflies with The damage is as insignificant as it is like stopping diverting my entire soul. I was going to save that in case I needed to heal you like they were annoying. Team this thing. I try to take it somewhere where they are. Here, killing enemies that I already killed, but that are stuck under the elevators and, what is this?

I've only ever seen a glowing womb, useful for exploiting boss tendencies, not for climbing onto the ceiling with your moon shoes and all. That's because he thinks it isbetter than everyone else, I've never seen anyone try to rationalize glowing womb as a legitimate and viable amulet unless you have the King's Soul equipped, and as I've already pointed out, if you're going to waste seven amulet slots. in a meme there are honestly better ways to do it oh but if you have the defenders shield equipped you can see some really cool interactions with the glowing womb and some of the other charms.

I mean, that's true, I guess, except for the fact. Equipping defenders with the crest and Wilma together reduces contact damage per brood by five. You know, it's taken me a long time to do this. I've really conditioned myself to play with my anger to an exaggerated degree just because of the character. I'm playing and it feels more genuine when I really get into it, you know? I'd be lying if I actually came out and said I'm really angry, it's just that all the time, in my opinion, moderate anger is the most colorful personality trait, It is the most cathartic to listen to because it is audio therapy to listen to your own thoughts arise. someone in the exact tone in which you would have said exactly these things.

I'm practicing this last spell with this because I've been close. You know there are very few things that really bother me, but, um, William, why is this in the game hmm who put this here who just woke up one morning and decided that the game needed the effects of the classic and elegant spell of slam just oh my god I'm a fan of people having opinions like no no I really promised but this might Objectively be the most useless amulet in the entire game not only is everything this amulet offers surpassed and shown by anyone other nail charm you can find, but you can accidentally put ranged enemies in a better position that gives them an advantage without even meaning to. because if your nail isn't strong enough, then a single attack will simply send them flying away from you, where they can continue attacking.

You want to get the enemies off your back. No, no, no, don't use a nail lengthening spell. increase the length of your nail, leave it, it just makes too much sense, don't use a damage buff, don't try to create a spell, no no, just hit all your enemies out of reach so they can continue attacking you. Instead, wow, I'm glad I made that ass bet a couple of inches further back so he can spit at me from even further away, that will teach him that there is a tangible function for this charm in which I or any other person we have been able to think of and I revise it to make the easiest boss in the entire game even easier, like if you are just a bully at this point, look at this boss and think well, this spell could help, like not you would have been at this for thirty minutes and that's it. trying to make constructions and why are you sitting here orchestrating an attack plan on a bush anyway?

It's really necessary? Do you really need a spell that will make this fight easier? Just walk up to him and kill him. He has a face, how threatening do you think this thing is. You can give me this charm for free with a bow and a gift card and I still wouldn't wear the damn thing. I wouldn't even use the gift card just because it's associated with this Game of Thrones pre-order, just get out of my sight, I'm done with the videos, leave, I wasn't kidding, leave, this isn't marble, there's no way out or anything waiting for you afterwards that everything is already there.

I finished it only that I have nothing more to say no, there is nothing, go away
