Defender's Crest in Hollow Knight is one out of the 45 Charms that is found in the game. These charms are special items that provide The Knight buffs that will help with both traversing Hallownest and battling its foes. Charms require Notches and can only be equipped and unequipped while having The Knight sit on a bench.

 

Defender's Crest Information

"Unique charm bestowed by the King of Hallownest to his most loyal knight."

Defender's Crest releases a toxic cloud at The Knight's location that continuously deals 1 damage every 0.3 seconds to nearby enemies until the cloud disappears. The clouds each last 1.1 seconds each and spawn every 0.75 seconds.

This charm is best used in certain situations like fleeing pursuing enemies, allowing you to damage them and giving you a window to follow up on a Nail attack. Or it can also be used offensively to deal with Bosses that spawn enemies, allowing you to focus more on dealing damage at the boss.

Similar to Spore Shroom, the cloud produced by Defender's Crest will not wake sleeping enemies up. Can be used to "cheese" Crystal Guardian.
