When he talked about Compass and Grubsong, I immediately knew that he has no idea about Grubsong making summon builds possible. Rusty is absolutely the most stupid of TH-camrs of HK, while people like CrankyTemplar, absolute gods, dont get the attention.
@@frankdartagnan2709 that’s quite harsh man. If you’ve watched Rusty’s worst charms vid you can tell he doesnt quite like passive builds that much. It’s also just his opinion, you shouldn’t say someone is stupid because of their opinion on something in a game
It guides people to victory so I assume its mediocre because its for people who want the easy way, or maybe it doesn't make it that easy. I don't know what i'm saying but you get the point.
Fun fact (if you didn't already know): pairing thorns of agony and baldur's shell will make it so that the thorns explode when the shell is broken, even if you didn't take damage
@@somedragonbastard literally walked through fights with this combo. Absolutely wrecks bosses if you attack while you have your s and the thorns attacking
"Do you remember being seven and thinking quicksand and T-rexes were going to be much bigger problems in your life than they are now?" Yes, Yes I do. As a matter of fact just recently I walked past a lake that was being dredged and it had sign around it warning me for quicksand. I then, like some kind of fictional PTSD, imagined myself having to be dragged out of said quicksand by grabbing on to a python. Life turned out to be much more boring than that.
Ironically, it's highly unlikely to drown in quicksand if you just don't move. Most ppl die to it because they get caught in it at beaches, and don't get themselves out before high tide rolls back in and drowns them.
Listen, I've 106%'d the game (still workin' on the Pure Vessel piece o' shite), and I *still* use the Wayward compass for any time I'm doing something that isn't fighting a boss. It's just so convenient.
@Electron Animated you literally just listed all of my favorites except Quick Focus, Shape of Unn, and Grubsong. So of my six favorites four are on this list
@@sultanalkareemw6092 It's really situational, and only worth two notches for some fights. It lets you dash all the way through failed champion, for example, and gives you just enough mobility to keep up with NKG.
@@dongpatrol1355 well, yes but i dont use it anymore, im more of a nail person now that ive mastered downward striking, i used to have a spell build and a mobility build, but now my charms are quick slash, mark of pride(colloseum), fragile strength(cuz im on my steel soul and upgrading the charm is pointless, wait, i think theres no divine at all in steel soul), nailmasters glory, wayward compass(deepnest and queens garden other than that im a navigator), quick focus, gathering swarm(early game), soul twister, shaman stone and my favorite soul catcher
Thorns and Pure Nail make an OVERPOWERED combo Thorns does the same damage as your (base) nail {not including strength charms of fury of the fallen} and has a very high chance of hitting twice if the boss doesn't dash through the hitbox. Pure nail does 21 base damage 21 x 2 = 42 At the cost of 1 charm notch, this will activate when you get hit Baldur shell takes 2 notches So for 3 notches, you can shield a hit and do 42 damage. TL;DR: Thorns does a lot of damage
It's actually makes PoP easier. You need that extra range. Sharp Shadow really fucked me up against NKG in Grimm Troupe at his Puffer Fish stage though, but in HoG I had no problem with it.
"Just for the bragging rights"? Come on, Shape of Unn makes the Knight even cuter, especially with Baldur's Shell equipped. No seriously, when you use both at the same time you get a small snail shell when using Focus. I mean not great for combat, but if that's not cute I honestly don't know what to say.
I love Sharp Shadow, my first kill on Pure Vessel was just Sharp Shadowing through him and everything else on healing charms. Got me to really learn his timings and now I can normally kill him on Radiant. Also my playstyle became so reliant on Sharp Shadow and other nail enhancers that it was one of the main reason I almost gave up on AR. I just couldnt get to her without my nail build, so I had to beat her with an non-optimal build, which took me way longer than it should have...
Me too :) My strategy for that fight is to just never jump. The extra dash distance is perfect for getting past him and his attacks are more dangerous in the air so it works perfectly.
Sharp Shadow is an essential part of my play style, once I acquire it, it never leaves. Honestly, I have a habit, especially against bosses, of dodging attacks by dashing through whatever enemy I'm fighting. Of course my play style, is a weird mix of knowing I'm going to get hit, so Grubsong and Thorns are always there, Soul Catcher because that extra soul is usually the difference between life and death for me, Weaversong and Grimchild, because half the time during boss fights I'm too busy dodging to actually focus on hitting my opponent, and the last slot usually rotates between, Defenders Crest, Dream Wielder, and Nail Master's Glory.
Same. Anything that increases my mobility is a survival requirement for a successful run. Plus the "down shadow dash" with the dash and sprint equipped is an attack I like to incorporate.
My play style, is a weird mix of knowing I'm going to get hit, so Grubsong and Thorns are always there, Soul Catcher because that extra soul is usually the difference between life and death for me, Weaversong and Grimchild, because half the time during boss fights I'm too busy dodging to actually focus on hitting my opponent, Sharp shadow because I have a tendency to doge through enemies and bosses more often than not so I might as well get some extra damage, and the last slot usually rotates between, Defenders Crest, Dream Wielder, and Nail Master's Glory, and possibly spore shroom for some reason, depending on what I think might be more useful. Bosses with adds usually mean spore shroom or defenders crest. Coliseum of Fools, or bosses where I think I might need the extra damage from nail arts, is when I use nail masters glory. And Dream wielder usually finds its way into my exploration/travel set. I know, it's a very generalist play style, but it works for me because I like to focus on survivability. Although I am partial to switching out Grimmchild and weaver song with Spell-twister and/or Shaman stone to make a more spell focussed build.
Baldur Shell is actually used for purpsefully blocking hits that are hard to avoid, and it's amazing at that. Imagine you're fighting NKG and he's going to do the uppercut but for some reason he takes a few steps backwards, leaving you in a position where you can't avoid the hit anymore. If you have Baldur Shell equipped, you can just press B and easily ward off the damage.
That’s true. I used those two, unbreakable strength and thorns of agony (cause I only had one slot left and thought why not) to beat NKG. I’m a very defensive and careful player so it gave me a lot more openings to heal and think about what to do next
When i first got thorns of agony it was my favorite charm, and from the beginning of the game i still have it equipped. I know its not powerful but i just loved it from the start
Shape of unn, Quick Focus and Deep focus literally makes you almost invincible. If a boss deals one mask you can almost beat it with your eyes closed. Trial of the Fool becomes a joke (except the part with no floor- swap deep focus to hiveblood and that bit becomes a joke too. Add on grubsong and you can almost always heal up to full in a few seconds, in any situation really. Panic heals are a lot less risky too- you have more that enough soul and you can correct it pretty quickly. It got me through all of godhome (including the pantheon of Hallownest) and takes away some of the luck from AbsRad, as if you get in a situation where attacks overlap and there is no real option to dodge, taking the two masks isn’t that big of a deal as with shape of unn you can heal at almost any point in the fight. Phase 4 can be a little tricky and bad luck can be very fucking annoying, but it’s still a lot easier to heal than normal. It makes the last 2 phases the hardest by far- you can’t heal so you’re basically doing it charmless. They’re short and doable though so it’s all good. Shape of unn is by far my favourite charm :)
Thorns of agony is actually pretty good for overworld collector. If you C. Dash into him as he falls, and then have your thorns activate, you can attack him during the very long laugh animation.
Yes, NKG stands for Nightmare king grimm. Some other abbreviations you may run into reading HK related comments are "GPZ, TMG, TotF, PoH" and not to forget "Absrad"
you know i dont think i have ever heard Rusty laugh. He only laughed in that bloodborne list. Not saying he should do it more, just something that haunts me at night. It was so funny it gave me nightmares
If it orbited around you a bit faster that'd be great & if it recovered itself a bit quicker after hitting something that'd be great too. It would probably make it more helpful, not that it isn't already albeit more so for some players than others.
Video itself endlessly entertaining and something I gladly rewatch because it has rewatch value? Check Sincerity at the start priming us for what is to come and letting us know how Rusty is? Check Hype for any and all videos Rusty may come out with? Check Oh yeah, it's time for a good time.
I feel like you vastly underestimate my and others skill at the game in these videos, acting like whether to take damage is a choice. A lot of the charms you don't like are actually quite strong for worse players, lol. :p
stalwart shell is good because the build of quick focus, deep focus, shape of unn, and stalwart shell allows you to only dodge while healing in most boss fights
Your input on dream shield was spot on! NOT ONCE did I ever use it! ...until absolute radiance and the extra hit it supplies went a long way. So yeah it’s decent I suppose haha
Grubsong is frickin awesome, it gives you soul for every bit of damage you take, so you can heal more often, and it ONLY TAKES UP ONE CHARM NOTCH. How is that only “okay”?
I don’t use wayward compass because I’m bad with directions. I use because I don’t feel like keeping track of my player. Like if I’m going into a boss fight I’ll gladly swap it out and plan my route ahead of time and keep track of it.
I will say Baldur Shell and Spores have been my combo so far for most of the game with Thorns of Agony. Not sure if that's a "noob build" or anything but it's been working
Baldur shell is actually good. Think about this. Imagine that there was a two notch charm that basically made your heal always work, four times. That’s Baldur shell. If you get hit during healing, you don’t take damage because you were protected. You still use the soul, and you technically still healed, except that you took damage. In fact, you basically healed before you took damage, since you survive on one health. Along with that, you can use it in radiant fights or on anything that deals double damage as protection for only 33 soul.
I legit have never used compass or swarm simply because my playstyle is run at enemy, press x, run away and spam b. My enitre charm loadout is the classic soul eater and catcher spell twister shaman stone b spammer wet dream.
Gathering swarm is op. Gotta change all fragile charms into their unbreakable version. Like dude I ain’t picking up extra what was it… like 40k geo. No fam one charm notch isn’t so bad. It’s worth it.
Thanks for the bit about Baldur Shell. I'd been using it for about 40 hours of gameplay, basically exactly the way you described, as a crutch for panic-healing when I got nervous. This video convinced me to stop being a noob and actually learn how to time my healing properly.
A cute gimmick build for it is combining it with Thorns of Agony: if an enemy attacks the shell, the thorns will pop out to deal damage but you still get the protection of the shell. It's barely useful but a nice little change of pace.
I’ll admit I didn’t like sharp shadow either at first but I realized that I tend to dodge a lot of bosses by dashing through them instead of more conventional means so I thought “why not?”
nice touch that the part about the "5 second convo with your neighbour" had the flukemarm fight as the footage; Fight shouldn't take longer than 5 seconds
Dreamshield is one of my favorite charms because I suck at dodging projectiles and I'm usually pretty bad at actually hitting enemies (particularly the ones that teleport or back away when you get too close). Dreamshield helps me out in those situations a lot. My normal build usually consists of Dreamshield, Mark of Pride and Quickslash.
Thorns is one of my favourites, because it is most useful when things are going tits up. I don't need charms to help with the 95% of the time things are going well. Especially paired with grub you can mostly ignore enemies relatively safely, as if you mess up the thorns will clean up for you and the grub will let you heal.
Grubsong, Thorns of Agony and Sharp Shadow are my absolute favourites😂 i'm so reliant on these charms, i struggle to play without them Since ur running out of video ideas, how 'bout you rank your fave hollow knight characters / npc's
I am what one would call a "hyper aggressive coward" Not my usual build, but I use Baldur Shell and Dreamshield out of cowardice, but Thorns of Agony is equipped out of sheer spite and Grubsong is just there so I can face tank (and not get spooked) when I'm feeling bold.

I don’t use wayward compass because I’m bad with directions. I use because I don’t feel like keeping track of my player. Like if I’m going into a boss fight I’ll gladly swap it out and plan my route ahead of time and keep track of it.
I'm gonna piss because I forgot I was awake and alive
I will say Baldur Shell and Spores have been my combo so far for most of the game with Thorns of Agony. Not sure if that's a "noob build" or anything but it's been working
I don't really equip thorns of agony because i necessarily *plan* on taking damage, but giving value to your mistakes can be huge during boss fights.
Same my guy same
Baldur shell is actually good. Think about this. Imagine that there was a two notch charm that basically made your heal always work, four times. That’s Baldur shell. If you get hit during healing, you don’t take damage because you were protected. You still use the soul, and you technically still healed, except that you took damage. In fact, you basically healed before you took damage, since you survive on one health. Along with that, you can use it in radiant fights or on anything that deals double damage as protection for only 33 soul.
The swarm and wayward compass are STILL my favorite charms
It’s just because you don’t need them anymore that you are calling them mediocre
Guy did anyone else laugh hearing the phrase "at the neck breaking speed of sloths fucking" or is it just me?
The pain I feel when 6/10 of the charms are my favourites are on this list is too much.
I legit have never used compass or swarm simply because my playstyle is run at enemy, press x, run away and spam b. My enitre charm loadout is the classic soul eater and catcher spell twister shaman stone b spammer wet dream.
I have a idea:
Top 10 best charms synergies
I find grubsong helps with long platforming sections because it means you can basically have a few more attempts if you mess up a lot.
I mean, I can't use Twitter to save my ass. And I'm not even 20 yet.
spinach actually tastes more like damp notebook paper. I know from experience.
Charms:
The Trilogy
Already saw this 11 min into uploading. Thought the vid was great!
"Okay, yeah Quick Slash and Mark of Pride is a pretty good duo."
*Shows Mark of Pride and Unbreakable Strength.*
haha yeah, thought I was the only one that noticed.
Ah yes my favorite enemy spawning boss, *Traitor Lord*
I use sharp shadow in my exploration build, and I'm used to the extra distance. Normal dash throws me off.
Gathering swarm is op. Gotta change all fragile charms into their unbreakable version. Like dude I ain’t picking up extra what was it… like 40k geo. No fam one charm notch isn’t so bad. It’s worth it.
I've had no reason to have the Twitter app and now I do
Attempt number 4, Rusty please review Dante's Inferno
Thanks for the bit about Baldur Shell. I'd been using it for about 40 hours of gameplay, basically exactly the way you described, as a crutch for panic-healing when I got nervous. This video convinced me to stop being a noob and actually learn how to time my healing properly.
I have literally never used Baldur Shell
I was so excited when I first got it I thought it was gonna be so helpful but then after like 15 minutes I took it off and never used it again lol
A cute gimmick build for it is combining it with Thorns of Agony: if an enemy attacks the shell, the thorns will pop out to deal damage but you still get the protection of the shell. It's barely useful but a nice little change of pace.
I’ll admit I didn’t like sharp shadow either at first but I realized that I tend to dodge a lot of bosses by dashing through them instead of more conventional means so I thought “why not?”
This game is amazing -est
Wayward compass memers on their way to skin rusty alive:
Dream shield is superior, you dare oppose me, mortal?
@Hollow Storm I am completely and utterly confuzzled
I'll die on the hill that Sharp Shadow and Shape of Unn are amazing Charms
2:56 Actually, sloths mate incredibly quickly...
I have about 14k geo, have the voidheart, and 60 hours and I still casually use gathering swarm and wayward compass
A bunch if my favorites were on this list.
Oof.
nice touch that the part about the "5 second convo with your neighbour" had the flukemarm fight as the footage; Fight shouldn't take longer than 5 seconds
Dreamshield is one of my favorite charms because I suck at dodging projectiles and I'm usually pretty bad at actually hitting enemies (particularly the ones that teleport or back away when you get too close). Dreamshield helps me out in those situations a lot. My normal build usually consists of Dreamshield, Mark of Pride and Quickslash.
What’s that? Rusty is dusty on ideas? Hmm... how about your top 10 favorite Hollow Knight characters?
when you laugh so hard and long that by the time youre done he makes another joke and you start laughing even harder
Me: Everywhere I go. I see you face *looks at twitter*
Context: I got banned
Wayward compass is in every build I've had throughout the game because it brings me comfort to know I have one less thing to worry about
Just a quick reminder that God doesn't love you. He loves me.
You don’t need to. God reminds me every time he lets me wake up in the morning.
I know, God abandoned me long ago.
@@altagos9265 you're a true psycopath and childhood destroyer.
Thorns is one of my favourites, because it is most useful when things are going tits up. I don't need charms to help with the 95% of the time things are going well. Especially paired with grub you can mostly ignore enemies relatively safely, as if you mess up the thorns will clean up for you and the grub will let you heal.
Grubsong, Thorns of Agony and Sharp Shadow are my absolute favourites😂 i'm so reliant on these charms, i struggle to play without them
Since ur running out of video ideas, how 'bout you rank your fave hollow knight characters / npc's
Only here you will find an okeys list
If you're bored you could always rank some more Dark Souls Bosses.
“Poor man’s version of quick focus” clearly you’ve never put the two together against pure vessel when he does his focus explosion
dam im fast
I could just imagine you doing "which charms should NOT be in the same charm slots"
wayward compass bad, shaman stone good
Wayward compass is amazing because it tells you where you are so you don't get lost
@@solisruben296 The words of someone who hasn't memorized the map from 10+ playthroughs.
GoldStorm07 the words of someone who clearly hasn’t awakened to the game breaking godly powers of Wayard Compass
I am what one would call a "hyper aggressive coward" Not my usual build, but I use Baldur Shell and Dreamshield out of cowardice, but Thorns of Agony is equipped out of sheer spite and Grubsong is just there so I can face tank (and not get spooked) when I'm feeling bold.
Why is there no...
*POSITIVITY!*
When you've beaten pantheon of hallownest but still use wayward compass
how dare you put wayward compass in here, it helped me beat zote the mighty
Shape of unn is so good. I used it in the Maris lord boss fight and it litterally allows you to just sit under all the mantis lords attacks
Shape of unn is my favorite charm. It helped me get the through the first 3 pantheons
A good plan is to overcharm yourself with deep focus
The wayward compass is good for people that don’t have a great sense of direction (like me), and gathering swarm is absolutely mandatory for Divine.
