Some charms offer you 100% health recovery, 20% more crit hit rate, discounts from merchants on select items, and many more.

My Thoughts On The Best Charm
After collecting almost every charm on my first playthrough of Resident Evil 4 Remake, the charm that I utilized the most and considered the best was undoubtedly the Ashley Graham charm. It grants you a whopping 50% additional recovery from Green Herbs, a bonus that any playstyle can benefit from.
While the Ashley Graham charm is of Epic rarity and particularly hard to get, the effect it has is far more noticeable than any other charm in the title. This item becomes especially useful against late-game bosses like Krauser or Salazar, who have extremely high damage and thus can kill you within a few hits.
This brings me to the end of my Resident Evil 4 Remake best charms guide. There are a few common and rare charms that are still better and have varying usage & application based on random scenarios, but the best RE4 charms I have listed are by far the best ones in the game.
