*'''Level 3''': Summons [[Cave Story/Characters#King|King's]] soul that flies a short distance in a straight line.

The amount of damage it deals depends on the enemy; it can often kill small enemies in one shot. '''Note''': You automatically go to max when you reach level three, meaning you will downgrade if you get hit even once. If you want to keep using King, don't get hit.
