Nail

Nail is the term used to describe the bladed weapons wielded by several enemies, NPCs, and bosses in Hallownest, including the player character. The Nailsmith in the City of Tears can upgrade the player's nail up to 4 times if given enough Geo and/or Pale Ore, which will increase the damage of melee strikes.

The charms Fragile Strength and Fury of the Fallen will also increase Nail damage.

Nail Arts
Nail arts are the abilities given to the player by the Nailmasters. Executing a Nail Art involves charging (holding down) the attack button and then releasing it with a directional input. Nail Arts deal multiplicative damage, meaning the stronger the player's nail is, the stronger the Nail Art will be.

The Nailmaster's Glory charm will decrease the time needed to charge Nail Arts.

Nail Art damage is not affected by Fragile Strength or Fury of the Fallen.
