Most of my builds focus on allowing minions to deal the majority of damage while I can dodge and heal. Most bosses can be beaten this way and it's actually usually easier. For pantheons I've been using thorns, weavers, grimmchild, grubsong, shape of unn, and shaman stone I think. It could be better but I switched some things out because zote is absolute pain

No-Eyes OG backer lore: No eyes was a warrior who was sent far away from home, when she heard of the infection she rushed back to save her children, only to find that they were infected, her children then began to devour her alive starting with her eyes. I don’t remember the lines, but it was something like of “1, 2…they’re coming you…3, 4 watch for the floor”. Her original boss battle was for her to sing a haunting lullaby about her children to warn the player about how to avoid her children from doing the same thing to them, basically she warns travelers about her children. Team cherry lore because they stated “It was too horrifying” to be in game: No eyes was infected by the radiance, and to try and save herself and her children, she ripped out their eyes to stop them from “dreaming” and then in turn tore out her own eyes.
who says a loadout has to have multiple charms? go for any one you like! (i’d recommend wayward compass because it always shows you the way to victory……)
Do the watcher knights, but you can only use spells and to get soul you need the dream nail. The charm build is your choice, but you can't use dream wielder
So I know this probably isn’t anything special to write home about, but there’s something about going a high-speed nail build with absolutely no range extension charms that feels so awesome… even though it’s terrible, lol.
Dreamshield isn’t even really like a summon because it doesn’t go after enemies. If you’re away from them the whole time it won’t be hitting anything. I think it’s better for a nail Hit and Run playstyle, as it could potentially allow for an extra hit every time you go in for one.
Man my favorite thing is that I realize that he's actually pretty fucking good at this game I thought he was like ok to not bad but Damm he's like a pro gamer😂
I started violently coughing from laughter when you killed Grimm with the map out. That was more disgustingly disrespectful than hitting him while he's bowing.
That “what the fuck” when windette was getting to the final phase of absolute radiance radiates the surprise that they consider a minion build to be good
fighting with minions is an absolute joy; on my first playthrough I got glowing womb super early on, thought it was useless/gimmicky, never tried it out, equipped it once out of desperation when I was trying to beat Broken Vessel... and never unequipped it again. Not only is it excellent self-defense for jaunts through crowded / parkoury areas, basically any fight with baddy minions becomes a walk in the part. And because I'm a nail-heavy player (I know) as long as I don't get hit I don't need that soul anyway. It's that and defender's crest. S-tier underrated charm
Team cherry after silksong releases : "SILKSONG RELEASED!" the entire hollow knight community : *proceeds to run to the steam shop to purchase the game*
My favorite boss fight so far (and the most recent one, cuz I’m currently playing Hollow Knight for the first time) was lost kin. Channeled nail, fragile strength (it doesn’t break if you die in a dream fight), quickslash, stalwart shell, no magic, no jumping (except to occasionally kill the ghosts during kin’s staggered phase, so I can heal safely). The strategy is to be close to the kin and spam up-attack (which has insanely high dps), avoid all jump attacks by slightly moving to the side, tank the slice attack, if you get hit, use the i-frames from stalwart shells to keep damaging the kin, and if the kin gets staggered, heal. It’s working very well, especially if you’re at least a bit skilled. At the end of the successful try I was down only 3 or masks
It's not actually every boss in the game, there's no Hollow Knight, Radiance, Grey Prince Zote if he hasn't been defeated yet, Nosk, Mantis Lords, and Zote.

Absolute caos is basically all the minions + Defenders crest just because the glowing womb ones become fucking poison bombs so it's a constant explosive battefield

I actually did a whole P5 run with a minion build as a joke, and unintentionally realized that it’s actually a really good charm build (mine was weaversong, grimmchild, glowing womb, defenders crest, grubsong, and dreamshield), the only things to be aware of are ignoring staggers since the bosses get up immediately, your soul drainage, and changing your build after troupe master grimm for an easier Uumuu fight (Uumuu is hell with a minion build due to them attacking Oomas aka explody jellies)
The weaverlings were damaging absrad in the shade Lord cutscene so now I'm left to wonder if weaverlings can kill the radiance in that moment.
i think she doesnt take damage, and her death is just triggered by the slashes
@@future8856 yeah it’s a cutscene, in the games code I think abs rad turns on invincibility

i bow everytime he fights me i also bow to the mantis gods mantises and everything else that bows
The real alpha move is bow to Zote.
You're legally allowed to hit grimm in godhome because he's bowing to the godseeker not you
I have never met someone who doesn’t
I only bow to him during his quest, but I never hit him even in Godhome (I only dreamnail him for soul)

I basically do that for pantheons and it feels like bitch-slapping bosses into submission lol
If you’re doing a summon build, you should have Grimm child and the dreamsheild as well. If you’re not doing a summon build, good choice.
Nah those two worst summons also carefree melody is better

I predict that Joni’s Blessing, Flukenest, Glowing Womb, Defender’s Crest and Heavy Blow will be one of them, I think it’s the worst possible build.
just. joni + quick focus + spore shroom + deep focus, or alt, kingsoul + heavy blow + sprintmaster + deep focus (both overcharmed)
Flukenest is actually busted on older patches

That hornet joke aged like a fine wine
If you’re trying a boss on radiant, be sure to equip Joni’s blessing, quick focus, and deep focus. They make the bosses a lot more manageable
That thing with white defender hit different
now try it with inverted controls
The dung defender yelling "bundaaaaaa" is hilarious.
The best loadout I know of is wayward compass, soul catcher, gathering swarm, thorns of agony, dream wielder, unbreakable greed, and shape of unn
Remove Dream Wielder and shape of unn and instead overcharm with Deep focus
the classic Deep Focus + Shroom Spore charm comb
so you cant even use the spore shroom effectively
very nice
I love carefree melody because every 2nd or 3rd time i get hit it activates
Wow that map bit in the grim fight killed me
For the record if you get used to the dash distance with sharp shadow the distance alone gets pretty useful
He actually beat pantheon 5 with a fucking mostly summoner loadout.
