Fragile Strength

Fragile Strength is a Charm in Hollow Knight. It increases Nail damage by 50%.

Usefulness
Fragile Strength does not affect damage from the Crystal Heart dash, Sharp Shadow, or Nail Arts.

It is an extremely powerful charm. At the cost of only one more notch, it permanently provides a similar benefit to Fury of the Fallen without needing to be at one health. A combination of both Fury of the Fallen and Fragile Strength provides a 162.5% damage increase when the Knight is at one health.

The downside is that once broken, Leg Eater will only repair it for a price. In the late-game, the cost may not be much of an issue, but the trip to Leg Eater might be.

This charm is quite potent, although it breaks upon death. One way to make use of the charm is to only use it in situations where death is unlikely, such as exploration, in tandem with survivability-increasing charms, while avoiding its use in boss battles, except for Dream Boss battles and Godhome battles (as the charm will NOT break when dying to these bosses).

Lastly, it should be noted that its drawback is negated in Steel Soul runs since the run is over upon death anyway, making Fragile Strength one of the most powerful and useful charms on a Steel Soul run.

How to Acquire
