King of Skulls enemy
The king has a few attacks. His most devastating is a sort of beam attack that he performs with his shield. Unfortunately this power is lost when you acquire the shield.

Strategy
Contrary to most other bosses, the best way to deal with the King is to stay fairly close to him. His shield attack damages everyone, so when he does it, stay behind him.
