Carefree Melody

Carefree Melody is a Charm in Hollow Knight. It has a chance to block damage when the Knight is hit. Damage from environmental hazards cannot be blocked.

Usefulness
The block chance resets to 0% every time the Charm prevents damage and increases with each hit taken up to a maximum of 90%. The average block chance is ~22.46%.

The hit count does not reset upon death or when the Charm is unequipped, which makes it helpful in Radiant fights. The Charm is also particularly useful when no accessible means of healing are available.

Allows the effects of other Charms (such as Thorns of Agony) to continue through or activate alongside its own effect, save for Grubsong which requires taking actual damage.

How to Acquire
After banishing the Grimm Troupe, the Charm can be acquired from Nymm by listening to him in Dirtmouth.

Probability
The odds of the charm activating increase with each hit taken since it last blocked damage:
