The clouds are not very powerful and have very little range, making it situational. Useful when fleeing enemies, as the clouds will linger behind the Knight and damage pursuing enemies. It can be very useful during both Broken Vessel and Lost Kin fights since the cloud can kill the Infected Balloon in only one tick, so the Knight can focus on the boss and win precious healing time. It also damages Oomas, triggering their explosion. As such, it is best to use caution when traversing these areas with this charm equipped.
Costing only one notch, it is most effective when used with one of the other charms listed below, as it greatly increases their power.
Can you... smell something? There's suddenly a horrid stench in the air. I swear, the town usually smells much nicer than this. Please accept my humble apology!
Divine
Ahhh, that smell! So strong, so virile, but not the odour that calls to me. I crave a different smell. Precious. Sensitive... Fragile. Ahh! Bring it. Wear it!
Dung Defender
Ahh, you exude the proud odour of the just. Truly, a mighty Knight you are.
Relic Seeker Lemm
Urgh! What do you think you're doing, coming into my nice little shop stinking like that?
These relics have been through enough. They don't need you spreading your stench all over them! Crawl back to the Waterways or wherever you came from!
Leg Eater
Eeeauuggh! That smell you carry with you...
Ah! Ah! Ahhhhh!
...Very tasty!
You're sweet... to share such a tasty smell with me. Do you want a gift in return?
Cheaper... Yes. My beautiful gifts... I'll give them to you. Cheaper.
Tuk
Mmnnnnggghhh...? Your smell... Are you a friend, too? If you're a friend, I'll share my food with you. When you see him again, our friend... tell him thank you. For helping me.
White Lady
...That scent. Does another travel with you? Is that you Ogrim, my mighty Knight?
I cannot see you, but then time has clouded my eyes and I cannot see much. Even your booming voice falls silent upon me.
Only this small one I register, if maybe because it shares some piece of myself. This one stands clear upon a misted world.
Ah.... But my my, that potent smell does recall such joyous memory. Only a short moment we had together, compared to ruin now endured, but what shining times they were.
I am grateful you would visit, even if to see me in somewhat faded form.
Dear Ogrim, I'm sure you saw Dryya on the way in? She's stood guard over me for so long.
Despite her hard front, she's always been a caring type. I'm sure she'll much enjoy a Knights' reunion.
Defender's Crest increases the damage of the spore cloud to 2 damage per tick and makes the cloud last 4.1 seconds. However, tick frequency is decreased, allowing for only 20 ticks (40 total damage). Also changes the visual of the cloud.
Replaces the horde of flukes with one massive volatile fluke that deals 3 impact damage and explodes into a dung cloud that deals 1 damage per tick for 23 ticks (29 with Shaman Stone).
Lowers hatchling contact damage by 5, adding it back in the form of a 1-second dung cloud that will do on average 4-5 damage. Hatchlings spawned when Fury of the Fallen is active have their contact damage restored; the dung cloud damage is not affected.
Trivia
Wearing Defender's Crest attracts small flying bugs when in the Pleasure House kitchen.
The Radiance does not take damage when exposed to this charm.
