@@MadameRhapsody I wondered why you never bothered throwing waves at Markoth when you went above/below him, I imagine you had to get into a "horizontal only" mindset to avoid attempting to pogo :/
Another thing worth noting is that it stays active when losing blue hearts. This makes it quite useful in combination with lifeblood core and in pantheons. I used it when doing the masks binding since I usually stayed on full health anyway.
Too bad that it doesn’t work with Joni’s. It would be really cool if the beams stayed after taking damage, as you’re always technically at max health, but sadly, no dice.
@@thenorfnonly3486 and @gamean if you have both grubsong and grubberfly's elegy and get hurt you get 25 soul in all (note that grubsong will only give you 15 and grubberfly's elegy adds ten.)
@@thenorfnonly3486 I mean it buffs the gain to soul when you get hurt to a point you can heal off of it every hit thus allowing grubberfly to stay at full hp so it's kinda hp related
@@Lily-L-H Listen I know im a year late but do you really want this thing to be more OP than wayward? If this thing had pogo then there would only be 8 open charm notches because it would quite literally be required to use this thing
It doesn’t stack the damage due to invulnerability frame so I actually think it negate your nail dmg to only deal the beam dmg which is worst than normal nail hit...
Fun fact: this rumor was proven wrong years ago and literally will not die. Seriously, download debug mod, hit a boss with elegy equipped. It will deal 21 damage if you are up close and 11 if the elegy hits. I'm pretty sure the game checks for collision before even releasing the projectile. I love how people think that if another nail damage boosting charm existed that every speedrunner ever would not be running it for pantheon 5. If this worked, the nails damage would with elegy, fury and strength would be 83, or 1 shaman shade soul double hit per nail hit, killing PV in 20 hits, sly in 14, Sheo in 12 etc etc.
Maybe, but as shown by the video, fighting Markoth that way takes fucking forever. It's far easier to just pogo on him 5-8 times at the very begining of the fight, then use dash slash a couple times, then destroy the second phase with shade soul's double hits.
Steady body is useless in every situation except for some bosses like Marmu (ascended), No Eyes (ascended), Flukemarm, Gruz Mother (ascended) and uhhhh...... uh... yeah no it's pretty bad
I felt like it helped a lot with sly too, especially in the final phase where he just zips around the arena and you only have a small window to attack him. With elegy, it’s way less tedious.
It was a huge help against radiant Sly for me. I used it in combination with heavy blow to just keep him at bay for the whole fight. Probably the only situation where heavy blow is useful.
I love how they made this charm into “the hitless charm” by only working at full hp (except fury) and being able to attack from a safe distance. I think half-loosing the ability to pogo is what makes it into a not so widely used charm. I love to see that it’s still useful in these situations!
1:53 is really close. Must’ve been really stressful to get almost get killed by a stagger. Also, can you do a video on Sprintmaster or Dashmaster? Both are underused
@@Muhammed_English314 they patched it so if you’re holding down and left/right it prioritizes left/right. I keep it equipped for exploring and never once dashed down.
YES FINALLY someone has seen that Elegy is great Also, it's really, REALLY good outside of radiant and flower quest. It's my overall 3rd best charm in the game, not to mention how fun it is to use.
The Markoth fight is a tutorial for me because I gotten to the last phase over 6 times but died to him so I may use grubberfly. Thanks Edit: didn't use grubberfly but I FINALLY DID IT IM SO HAPPY RN
I guess it's nice to try out new strats, but I feel like if people wanna play from that big of a distance, they should just run a spell build. The damage loss from elegy just makes radiant fights way longer and thus harder than they need to be. Btw, great shout out for breaks.
@@BombsanTheCommenter I'm not sure if it's still true but when I commented there was a glitch where you could heal to full after getting to one and exiting the arena while having fury active which meant elegy worked.
I was actually quite surprised when I had heard that Grubberfly’s Elegy was considered a not very good charm, as like you had said in the beginning, (And that you had also demonstrated.) I got through quite a few radiant bosses with Gurbberfly’s Elegy, one being Lost Kin, which you had showed.
You know, I don't normally use steady body but now I can see it being useful with elegy because you might hit something with your nail when you thought it would be hit by the beam. Harder to compensate for inconsistent recoil.
my thoughts: flukemarm: its broken lost kin: its good but the fight is very doable with a normal nail too. also epic dodge at 1:53 hornet 2: its very useful against the spikes but the rest of the fight i dont think its necessary markoth: f the guy, first of all. i beat him radiant just today and the builed i used it Glowing Womb, Defender's Crest, Nailmaster's Glory, Weaversong,Grubsong, Sprintmaster, and some soul charms. yes the meme build and it worked, u need to be able to dodge like a pro when the screen is filled with "smell". your build seems very interesting too, it just takes a lot of time, which means more dodging. still better than hitting him with nails. abs rad: only boss i didnt radiant, props to you cause even with that build its insanely difficult.
Thank you and good job, Radiant Markoth is no joke. I prefer using more Spells and Nail Arts in these fights but being forced to try out other strategies for these videos has been really fun.
@@MadameRhapsody ya, I use nail arts a lot, but for markoth, I needed all my attention on dodging and not on hitting, that's why the meme build worked for me. Also I can't say this enough but the abs rad fight was epic
It's been a while but I remember DPSing down flukemarm once with like 2 or 3 cyclone slashes, it was the quickest kill I came up with (abyss shriek aside)
This charm was pretty much the only reason I was able to beat the radiance my first playthrough, +lifeblood charms and I could basically cheese my way through the first 3 phases
I'd say the biggest thing holding Grubberfly's Elegy back is the fact that you don't get soul from the beams. Spells are incredibly powerful and should generally be used as much as possible for maximum damage. The lowered DPS of the beams combined with not being able to use spells as much means that fights take way longer. Longer fight means more chances to fuck up and get hit. If it synergized with Grubsong so that the beams gave Soul when attacking (even if it was less than normal) this charm would probably be one of the best. Even then, as demonstrated in this video, it definitely still has its uses. I personally used it to great effect against Radiant Sly, combining it with Heavy Blow (and other charms) to keep him at bay the whole fight.
This charm is one of the most underated in my opinion,just because you have to be at full health,but it is totally worth because you don't even get hit when you use it because you are far from the enemy.
From what I found out after using DeBug mod to test it to get the damage values only the Nail does the damage since the Beams phase through the enemies if you are too close. But Radiance might have a hitbox big enough, I didn't test with her.
It was very useful for the delicate flower quest as well because you can't take damage anyways and it's also a ranged attack without using soul anyways.
Yess, I like Grubberfly's Elegy. It's a common part of my general exploration/traveling kit (Compass, Gathering Swarm aka "Geo Catcher", Sharp Shadow & Mark of Pride)
About carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injuries, it helps quite a bit to walk around. The injuries are caused by insufficient blood flow starving tissues, and the most direct way to treat or prevent it is to get your blood flowing with sustained light cardio. So... long walks.
If you think about it, the "___ is useless, just ____!" can be said for a lot of charms. Strength: just hit more! Heart & all lifeblood charms: just don't get hit! Mark of pride & longnail: just move closer! Wayward compass(non-true form): just memorize the map! Gathering swarm: just walk to the geo! Quick focus: just time your focus better! Soul charms: just use your nail more!
@@MadameRhapsody The problem is that this charm isn't the best option for normal boss fights, but you can use it for: Radiant fights, Trail of the fool, 5th pantheon or other pantheons
O boi that hitless Markoth, respect. Lately my friend has been mocking me for using sharp shadow. Would you mind demonstrating that it's actually s great charm??
@@MadameRhapsody Well, I generally use it everywhere, it offers free damage for just dodging through an enemy, and there's many bosses (traitor lord or pure vessel, for example) where dodging right through them is quite useful. It also increases the distance of your dash, so that's also pretty neat
@@kaitogirldraws tbh all the sharp shadow mockery I've heard is because it makes things too easy, not because it's useless. Basically saying that using it means you're not good enough to win without it or something.

@@MadameRhapsody you can get it on some of the larger enemies iirc, either way 20 damage from ten feet away is better then 20 damage but you have to be dangerously close to an enemy
i thought being close did damage from both the nail and the beam. A shame, i went crazy with close up slashing for the first pantheon thinking it was helping me. Still a cool charm for anything that's scary to close in
Gfly's elegy with strenght does 75% of your normal nail hits, on top of that when you get in the range of your normal nail hits it's kinda like 175% (or im just making it up idk)
The only big downside is the lack of soul gain. But considering you’re at full health and have a nail-focused charm build, that downside is fairly mitigated. Still, I like to use it with Fury, and I like to use Fury with Glowing Womb, and Glowing Womb requires soul. But only a few physical hits is enough to fuel Glowing Womb for a while, so it’s not too bad.
i lile the Charm but the thing is you get is so late ingame typicly That by then youd jusr use Mark of pride quickslash unbreakable strength...NOW LETS SAY your FireB0rn and have Legacy 2 charm notch quickslash...Then you can equipp grubberflys elegy and it becomes pretty nutty
@@MadameRhapsody if im on PC You can Bet ill do a 2 charm notch Quick slash XD i mean i dont ever Plan On Playing Hollowknight on a competitive level So i should rather say i wouldnt think of doing speedruns or like idk hitless smth where you submit to a website And Also What would be fun to see is they tried Any Radiance...but every Charm costs 1 Notch If you select basicly and 11 charms i wonder what people would choose
It’s pretty hard to use the grubberflys elegy while in the markoth Fight because You have to be at full health and there’s a pretty low chance that you’re going to be at full health the entire fight.
i haven’t used Elegy too much but it’s been quite useful where i have used it. ..only thing i would change about it is the sound it makes, I REALLY do not like that sound effect.

i didn’t use grubberfly’s elegy for markoth radiant, i used soul eater and shaman stone to skip phase two with lucky double hits on shade soul
My favorite charm, probably
It's also great in the fight with radiant Marmu
Grubberfly's Elegy isn't useless, it's just for confident players, which I am NOT
The only big downside is the lack of soul gain. But considering you’re at full health and have a nail-focused charm build, that downside is fairly mitigated. Still, I like to use it with Fury, and I like to use Fury with Glowing Womb, and Glowing Womb requires soul. But only a few physical hits is enough to fuel Glowing Womb for a while, so it’s not too bad.
i lile the Charm but the thing is you get is so late ingame typicly That by then youd jusr use Mark of pride quickslash unbreakable strength...NOW LETS SAY your FireB0rn and have Legacy 2 charm notch quickslash...Then you can equipp grubberflys elegy and it becomes pretty nutty
Yeah, that is why I never use it, get it too late. RIP 2 Notch Quick Slash.
@@MadameRhapsody if im on PC You can Bet ill do a 2 charm notch Quick slash XD i mean i dont ever Plan On Playing Hollowknight on a competitive level So i should rather say i wouldnt think of doing speedruns or like idk hitless smth where you submit to a website
And Also What would be fun to see is they tried Any Radiance...but every Charm costs 1 Notch If you select basicly and 11 charms i wonder what people would choose
"lmao imagine he does AbsRad radiant."
*sees AbsRad*
"I WAS JOKING"
That one was actually really fun.
@@MadameRhapsody it seems like fun
ive only done regular radiance but ill probs start going for p5
You can't get soul unless you're close, which defeats the whole purpose.
Only if you need soul, and in this case I only use that for Abs Rad.
You're a genius
It's hard as heck for Markoth though, there are better ways, but they are riskier.
So I may hate on steady body (for a good reason) but I can’t hate on elegy
Id assume it’s also pretty good for collector
Works great on attuned but it takes two hits to kill the upgraded enemies on ascended and P5 so it’s not as useful
No, as stated by Foroe. Strength will one shot the ads so use that instead.
Doesn't also team up with grubsong?
Yes but only when taking damage.
i love this charm but i cant stay on full hp for long
real good for cheesing radiant markoth
It’s pretty hard to use the grubberflys elegy while in the markoth Fight because You have to be at full health and there’s a pretty low chance that you’re going to be at full health the entire fight.
This is on Radiant though, so you are always at full health luckily.
Just got my carpal tunnel healed time to destroy it again
I'll say one word:
lifeblood
i haven’t used Elegy too much but it’s been quite useful where i have used it.
..only thing i would change about it is the sound it makes, I REALLY do not like that sound effect.
I agree. I heard the noise in my head for two days after making this and the 1000 sub video.
Idk, it has undeniable use for transporting the flower, at the very least.
I use elegy for radiance radiance to end endless sword phase without using soul
I'd like to think that grubberfly's elegy is just a undertale refrence
Ye I just found out that this charm is the way to cheese all the radiant bosses
mmm...I like cheese.
your really good, how many hours do you have on the game?
Not sure, but 1500-2000 is an estimate based on Steam + PS4.
The Ultimate Social Distancing Charm.
how to bully hornet (radiant mode)
equip elegy and quick slash
win
Elegy+Quick Slash=Unmodded Hollow Knight with a Gun
Is it just me or markoth sounds like optimus prime
It's not just get closer. It's just don't get hit bro and its useful
getsuga tenshou all day
Now do one with the Heart of Thorns charm
I use this charm for the trial of the fool
