King Slime spawns under one of the following conditions:
-A player uses a Slime Crown.
-certain number of Slimes are killed during the Slime Rain event.(Desktop only)
-Randomly in the two outer thirds of the map (never in the center third).
As King Slime takes damage, it spawns additional ordinary Blue Slimes and will also appear to shrink in size. It will always drop one piece of Ninja clothes when defeated(two pieces in Expert).
How it fights
King Slime behaves exactly like a normal slime, except that he jumps much higher and farther, can teleport, and spawns other slimes as he takes damage. he will also spawn Spiked slimes in Expert mode. when it teleports it usually teleports behind the player. Try to keep your distance and avoid getting close unless you have a strong melee weapon. kill the smaller slimes if you can for hearts and mana stars if you are low.
Weapon Recommendations
King slime can be fought at any point in the game and is Optional, however you usually fight him at slime rain, which usually happens after Eye of Cthulhu. but it can happen at any point so here are the recommended weapons for that point in the game
Melee: Amazon Yo-yo, Blade of Grass, FalconBlade(from fishing Crates), Gold/Platinum Broadsword, any Phaseblades
Ranged: Musket/undertaker, Gold/Platinum bow, Minishark(if you are willing to grind the money)
Magic: Water Bolt(if you are lucky), Emerald/Amber/Ruby/Diamond Gem Staff, Space gun
Summons: Slime Staff
Piercing weapons are great for this fight. they can not only damage King Slime but kill the additional slimes it spawns.
Magic weapons work well, since the blue slimes it spawns drop Mana Stars, which refill 100 mana each.
Other tips
King Slime can be a good way to farm Gel, for Flamethrower ammo and Asphalt blocks.
King Slime's absolute highest jump can clear a 17-block-high wall.
If you want to come across King Slime early on in the game, build your house near the edges of the world where he can spawn frequently.
Spawning King Slime while in specific Hardmode areas using Slime Crowns can be a quick, easy way to farm for location-specific drops, such as Souls, Biome Keys, and Pirate Maps due to the sheer amount of blue Slimes spawned during the fight.
An easy way to fight the King Slime is by putting platforms over an area, grapple on to the bottom of the platforms and use a ranged or magic weapon and shoot him with it as he won't fall through platforms.
