<b>Stalwart Shell</b> is a [[Charms|Charm]] in <i>[[Hollow Knight (game)|Hollow Knight]]</i>. It increases invincibility frames and reduces hit recoil.<ref group="Note" name="calculation 1"/><ref group="Note" name="calculation 2"/>

== Usefulness ==
This item primarily shines in some [[Bosses (Hollow Knight)|boss]] battles, especially ones where it is difficult to avoid getting hit. The longer invulnerability time can provide a window to attack a boss with impunity, potentially overwhelming them with sheer damage.

It is also useful in the [[Trial of the Fool]], which features many encounters with enemies whose attacks are hard to dodge.

== How to Acquire ==
Bought from [[Sly]] in [[Dirtmouth]] for {{G|200}}.
* Shop description:
:: <i>Life in Hallownest can be tough, always taking hits and getting knocked around. This charm grants you more time to recover after taking damage. Useful if you need to escape from a tight spot.</i>
