Grubsong is a Charm in Hollow Knight. It causes the Knight to gain 15 SOUL when taking damage.
Usefulness
A useful Charm at the cost of only one Notch as it provides a good amount of SOUL meter to use as healing in compensation for taking damage. The SOUL provided per hit is not enough for a heal on its own but combined with the SOUL gathered by striking enemies, or with other Charms that help gather SOUL faster, this Charm becomes incredibly useful for a Spell-focused build.
It also shines in difficult platforming areas where enemies are not readily available for gathering SOUL.
How to Acquire
Gifted by Grubfather after 10 Grubs have been freed.

Weaverlings now give the Knight SOUL when they damage enemies (3 SOUL per hit), and can even collect SOUL from enemies that normally wouldn't give any from Nail hits (such as the Collector or Siblings). SOUL can also be collected after death, but before the screen transition, allowing the Knight to wake up at a Bench with SOUL. |
Charm Combo Tips

In combination with Hiveblood, it allows for regenerating SOUL infinitely, albeit slowly, by jumping into hazards or enemies, retreating, waiting for health to regenerate, then repeating. |

Combined with Deep Focus or Hiveblood, it greatly helps to tackle difficult platforming challenges, especially the White Palace. |

Trivia
- The amount of Mask damage taken in one hit does not impact the amount of SOUL gained, as it always grants 15 SOUL (25 with Grubberfly's Elegy).
