Ah, the Charm that got overnerfed not once, not twice, but thrice times over! (Puts a completely different spin on 'third time's the charm'). At 3 notches, they are finally worthwhile beyond extremely situational circumstances. Consider: they are pretty well hidden (playing blindВ as one would) so they should be rewarding accordingly (especially when you already got Fragile Strength, Quickslash, Mark of Pride, and Shaman Stone at 3 notches).OK, so Deep Focus is great for exploring (say, Deepnest), but something like Grubsong + Soul Catcher + Thorns of Agony would work just as well for the same cost (4) and have even more utility.В So does Hiveblood make White Palace easier? Sure, but it would anyway even if it cost 5 notches or more(it's not like you need to take your entire repertoire of Charms to White Palace anyway).ДЄnd Soul Eater? Well, as mentioned: there's always Soul Catcher for half the cost (2), leaving you room for something else.Bottom line is: they aren't 'fun' to use because their prohibitiveВ costs prevent you from using other cheaper Charms which, when combined, ultimately give you more versatility (more 'fun'). So what's wrong with these Charms? Nothing, e xcept the cost!В I went back and forth a lot with these: at 3 notches they feel a bit too goodВ (except Soul Eater which is kinda off at 4 notches when there's Soul Catcher at 2), but at 4 notches they just never quite make the cut into any build. Somewhat.- Soul Eater, Deep Focus, Hiveblood. That put the final nail on Joni's coffin! At least now, at 3 notches, it is somewhat more attractive.

If it didn't have any combat utility before, it was made practically non-existent after. Hollow Knight Fragile Strength ChartД®arly on, when your Masks are low and you're short on notches, a +50% boost doesn't amount to much and you're better off with Lifeblood Heart or (better yet) Fragile Heart atВ half the cost (2).В And mid-to-late game when the +50% bonus could actually have some use you already have way too many better options for Joni's cost.Why did Team Cherry then nerf it to +40% is beyond me. +50% more Lifeblood Masks sounds good on paper, but it takes away your healing. First of all, it was on the low end of mediocre before the Lifeblood patch. Alas, it doesn't.)- Joni's BlessingВ is complicated. (Heavy Blow is a joke, honestly, wish it did more or combo'd with something else, but.

But as you get it in the first area of the game, its potential for speedruns is way too better than StrengthвЂ™s and Quick Slash.ДЇigured I'd upload it here (not a fan of Steam) for 'posterity's sake' and anyone who may find it worthwhile.What does it do? Simple, the following Charms had their notches reduced by one: Heavy Blow (2) - (1) Fury of the FallenВ (2) - (1) Joni's BlessingВ (4) - (3) Soul EaterВ (4) - (3) Deep FocusВ (4) - (3) Hiveblood (4) - (3) FlukenestВ (3) - (2) Grubberfly's ElegyВ (3) - (2) KingsoulВ (5) - (4)Additionally, Joni's Blessing was revertedВ to pre-Lifeblood patch (+50% Masks instead of +40%).And for those interested in reasonings, here ya go:- Heavy Blow and Fury of the Fallen should be obvious/self-explanatory:В they are absolutely not worth 2В notches. If Furry of The Fallen was a mid-late/late game charm, it would be way lower on the list. Its damage stacks with Unbreakable/Fragile Strength providing a 162.5% damage increase when at 1 mask and having both equipped. Made years ago for personal use and updated as DLC/patches came out.
