Rusty's 10 Best Hollow Knight Charms
Вставка

- 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.

Rusty. You forgot the Wayward Compass. I’m so disappointed in you.
Shit.

wtf man
RUSTY - The Superforge You forgot the literal thing that allows people to not die?!
Git gud
Unbreakable Strength (and its Fragile form) increase your Nail damage by 50%, not 33%.
Yeah I saw that coming as soon as I re-watched. Mind if I pin this? Lol
@@Rusty._ Go ahead
Wow that's op. Literally no point in going any other build than nail.
@@porogami7yearsagoedited754 there will always be a reason for other builds
themambawarrior2 are you sure it also increases nail art damage?
Wow. That intro was certainly something

When i was doing the second hornet fight, I tried elegant fighting (dodging and stuff), then I thought "what if I take quick slash and unbreakable strength and run at her while spamming attacks like a dumbass ?"
*and it worked*
It works against so many bosses it's hilarious.
i am a dumbass like
For the record: if you don’t want to beat hornet sentinel by shoveling cheese down her throat, just walk around on the ground. She jumps around more than a hyperactive jackrabbit on ALL the drugs.
Second hornet fight was cancer. Zero space to move and I find the idea of me being damaged just by touching her is BS. Why do I get hurt and not the other way around? Do I suffer from an aggressive allergy to worthless b*tches?
@@yiklongtay6029 if hornet gets damaged if you touch her, then why using the nail at all. Contact damage is crucial in these kind of games

Ok. Now do it again for flower ending.

@@CaptainCFalcon that's basically what I do, farming for unbreakable strength now
Proceeds to die in the pantheon without knowing why
Honestly I feel like shape of unn is really good. After equipping that, combined with quickfocus and soul catcher, the game felt so much easier with how many healing opportunities I got in boss fights. I'm pretty sure I beat radiance with this loadout after 3 tries and I feel like shape of unn was the main reason for that
The fight it breaks most is NKG.
you can heal on nearly all the attacks, it's insane.
Shape of unn helps so much with the swords and light beams
@@silverstar4505 so true.
I also think that sharp shadow and fragile strength help so much.
Sharp shadow make you in perfect positioning for some attacks, strength just melt his hp so fast
@@silverstar4505 healing during the fire pillars attack is so funny to me for some reason
*Unpopular opinion*
The Dashmaster charm looks like Sans
Dr. Kraven why did you say that now i cant unsee it
I think it's a reference to how he constantly dashes and dodges in his fight

@@yuuri_ ... I'm so disapointed with you
Sharp shadow is in the top 5 charms in my book.
I hate that it lengthens your dash tho. Make me fly into Grimm's fire pillar above his head when shooting the bats
Sharp shadow’s increase in range hinders you sometimes. Like going to traitor lord it will make you overjump the platform.

@@muffinhead5569 have you watched the fucking video
So cool to see how this game allows people to have different play styles.
This game is a masterpiece.
I’m more of a melee charm build kinda guy.
“Don’t let your kids watch this!”
Honestly, Nailmaster’s Glory is probably my favorite. I have it in every nail-based charm loadout because I’m constantly using my nail arts.
Ending the video with George Carlin's "7 words you can't say on TV".
Truly, a scholarly gentleman of refined tastes.
That was a very calm intro
0:48 quite literally me when I'm asked about my depression 🤣 love it rusty keep it up
12:54 people: damn he swears too much

As I discovered Rusty is also a host at TGN, for the past few days I've been ping ponging myself to TGN and the Superforge for more Rusty and also watch the other Hosts at TGN
Rusty saying "I love you" felt wrong

jump right

@@renewalacumen1770 i usually just panic and flail until i either dodge it or get hit lol
What improvement looks like: going from the "Grubsong, lifeblood core, quick focus" trio to the "unbreakable strength, quick slash, mark of pride" trio, sometimes featuring Steady body too.
How can you smell something burning in City of Tears there’s water everywhere
Wtf? This is not natural...positivity is not what I come here for, I come here for the funny as hell anger bits
Also I’m depressed too
Edit:*hears swears at the end*
There we go
2:39 It Was At This Moment That He Knew He Fucked Up
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.
Steady Body is the unsung hero of my builds.
you can’t be human
Mate, just from the intro, you got a new sub
Who doesn't love Rusty?! If you don't than it's considered heresy.
Also attempt number 3. Please review Dante's Inferno Rusty...please daddy

@@robbieconnor6117 ain't nothing wrong with that as long as it isn't completely cringy in the process
100% the most entertaining hollow knight video I've watched. Subscribed and now gonna binge your other hollow knight vids
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.
Quick focus made all the difference for me when fighting NKG

Dash master is my favorite charm in the game. The MOMENT I put this thing on I was suddenly flying across the map, running circles around bosses and just generally having a way smoother time. It’s even better combined with Sharp shadow and Sprint master
This is hands down the best intro to a video that I have ever seen. It's beautiful, and I have never been exposed to such a concentrated amount of POSITIVITY in my life.

@@criskkana Says the 10 year old.
Good video. Some constructive criticism would be to show more comparisons, like the difference in time with the quick focus charm, for instance. You could show side by side video of focusing with and without the charm. Seeing the two juxtaposed would really hammer home why these charms are so helpful in my opinion. Overall, very enjoyable video.
Where tf is Sharp shadow
At number 11.
@@GoldStorm07 no. Its number no number because this thing is priceless (for me at least)
no wayward compass, no gathering swarm? smh
Dat Intro was incredible dude
Bruh, i totally agree with u about the dash master placement. It was in my main exploration load out in my first play through!
Damnit I was just about to go to sleep
"He's *_positive_* "
Pfft, that's nothing. I'm so positive they even wrote it on my corona test papers!

@@alexalasognatrice726 No, I died unfortunately.
**Wayward Compass is feared by all**
Ive never seen him pump out videos this fast
Are you Disney? Because only they could milk a franchise to death like you do! ;)
I don't think he's done a Hungry Knight video yet, so he's not quite scraped the bottom of the barrel.
I love Mark of Pride - I’ve essentially permanently equipped it - but there are some areas of the Path of Pain that are actually easier without MoP
one of my most favourite builds is just mark of pride and long nail cause when you use nail arts the range is so incredibly long as well as normal attacks
and then quick slash + unbreakable strenght
its just pure nail damage and I sometimes replace long nail with nailmaster glory and grubsong
Love the intro screen 🤘
I'd have donated actual money if he had strait reposted the exact same list of charms from the worst charms vid after that intro.
No amount of positivity could possibly put Heavy Blow anywhere near the top ten lmao
Combining heavy blow with quick slash and unbreakable strength lets you beat up Grimm so easily
Oi
I once was a Mark of Pride user like you, but then I took an Quick Slash to the build.
1:05
Literaly nothing:
Rusty: I LOVE YOU
Should we really listen to someone that said Sprintmaster, spore shroom, and defender`s crest useless in one of his previous video?
Rusty shouldn’t get hate, it should be me instead
7:59
But like strength, quick slash, mark of pride, and long nail fits perfectly and I will never stop being a nail player
I need just that POSITIVITY intro as its own video, something that I can endlessly and easily loop for my own amusement.
You are a god, that intro and outro XDD
I keep coming back to this video for that intro alone LOL
I’m not a big Spell person myself, but Shaman Stone is addicting, especially paired with Spell Twister. Your spell projectiles get a larger hitbox, and deal significantly more damage.
4:24 dashmaster the charm that makes you go faster, aka: *S A N S*
That intro was a straight masterpiece
Honest thanks for the positivity really needed it put a smile
I've expected unbreakable/fragile heart. Great video tho! :)
I can't act like I've done this, but I've heard that the Grubberfly Elegy is amazing for Radiant bosses because of the fact that you're either at full health or dead. And the projectile length of the Elegy is longer than the nail length of the MOP
“Soul Catcher will probably be the first charm you pick up”
*me picking up soul catcher as my 4th charm*
The sheer reliability of Sharp Shadow makes it hard to beat for me. Most of the toughest pantheon battles require me to dash around frequently so I end up chipping off tons of health with the charm, sometimes saving me a good minute of time. Plus it's visually one of the coolest charms.
I use no spells. So Sharp shadow, quick slash, mark of pride, and unbreakable strength is OP.
@@KaroxNightshade I'm still learning to make more use of spells on my fourth playthrough of the game. The invincibility frames on Descending Dark feel very useful.
I've just been obliterating since I got all of them. I killed radiance 1st try with that setup. But if you use spells, abyss shriek is a bit OP too. My only used spell.
I always use: quick focus, quick slash, mark of pride and sharp shadow
This is so great. I'm about to beat this game again and the pantheon of hallownest again.
Sharp shadow is very underrated. It literally does more than the pure nail.
My main build is Quick Slash, Mark of Pride, Unbreakable Strength, and Sharpshadow.
It's especially OP for mowing down bosses like the Watcher Knights, Traitor Lord, and a few others.
I used the shamans stone to fight twk and yeah it helped a lot more than I thought it could
2:39 *Top 10 perfect cuts*
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.
6:43 Same here, but with a stealth archer/sniper instead lol
If you have the charm slots for it, use mark of pride and long nail together, bc it actually does stack
3:30 nkg would like to have a word
