Hollow Knight Rebalanced

Description
I really love the style and gameplay of Kamit's Hollow Knight class mod, but found it a little overpowered. This mod rebalances the Hollow Knight's stats and skills to bring him in line with vanilla characters. The original mod can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1658595868

Tweaks include:

Protection
| Vanilla classes lack innate protection, so I removed it from the HK.

Charge & Slash
| Damage no longer scales up by leveling. They remain at the base 100% value like vanilla attack skills. This makes the HK more reliable at lower resolve levels and less OP at higher ones.
| Slash now has a more reasonable, though still large crit bonus against bleed (at level 5, from 55% to now 35%)
| Charge's "dullness" debuff now lasts an additional round, encouraging the HK to use his support abilities or Pugilism. It also makes shuffling the HK backward to immediately set up another charge somewhat less viable.

Pugilism
| Stacking damage bonus now scales from 35%-50% to 15%-35%, like the Abomination's Rake.
| No longer debuffs the HK's protection.

You should be able to keep your Hollow Knights if you uninstall the original mod and install this one at the same time.

FULL credit to Kamit for this amazing mod. Please drop the original mod a like and a reward! I'll take this mod down if Kamit asks me to.

Great character, looks a lot like Barry the Chopper and Alphonse Elric in Full Metal Alchemist!


Just wish he had trinkets...


Ps: thanks so much for the rebalance, the original was way too op for me!

Pretty sure the whole point of Overlord is that... well, he's overpowered. That's what Overlord is all about. If you want to be challenged, just don't use him.

@Saphron unfortunately, I'm only planning on rebalancing classes that I use myself. But I might get around to rebalancing another class mod you do use?

Hate to just randomly request things, but do you think you can rebalance the Overlord class mod at some point? I've been using him and he's fun, but boy is he busted. He apparently has an instant kill move with a decently high chance of it procing that even works on bosses.

@Yashie I had the same thought, I might take a look at them later. I really like EbonyBetty's designs though so I might edit their trinkets to provide optional tweaks to their skills (kind of like how the Vestal's profane scroll changes her role) rather than rework the classes directly

Hell yeah always nice to see a little rebalance here and there the temptation to just spam pugi to be optimal instead of actually making use of his other skills was a smidge overbearing so its cool to see some amends.

Do you have any other mod class rebalances in the works? ied love to see something for maybe the mambo or bluesman since i do find them a bit underpowered if im honest.
