Grubberfly's Elegy

Grubberfly's Elegy is a Charm in Hollow Knight. When at full Masks, it causes Nail strikes to shoot a projectile which deals 50% Nail damage per hit.

Usefulness This Charm is useful for completing the Delicate Flower quest as it allows for fighting from a distance and detonating the explosive bubbles found in Fog Canyon.

It can be used for exploring areas and switched out for another Charm when fighting bosses. However, during the fight with the Radiance, the beams of Grubberfly's Elegy can deal damage to the boss without the need to jump, which can be a viable source of damage when combined with the Quick Slash Charm. This also applies to the Flukemarm fight as the combo makes quick work of her without needing to jump to reach her.

The range of the projectiles is not affected by Longnail nor Mark of Pride, though their width is increased with the latter.

Grubberfly's Elegy can be useful for defeating Radiant difficulty bosses since the Charm's effect is never lost, as being hit results in instant death.

When used with Joni's Blessing, taking damage of any kind halts the effects of Grubberfly's Elegy until resting on a Bench, even if the health is restored by Hiveblood.

How to Acquire Gifted by the Grubfather after freeing all 46 Grubs.
