Is Kingsoul worth keeping?

[Bryzar]

Just wondering opinions, if the Kingsoul is worth keeping for any builds that would help with Trail of Fools or any of the new GH content and other quest/achievements or just swap it for the VH?

Not really. In fact, you can't even enter the final and hardest area of Godhome with the Kingsoul.
For the trials, I think you'll normally have plenty of soul to heal or cast spells even without it, and at five notches, the cost is prohibitive anyway.

get the ending with kingsoul and then get voidheart. ;)

Already done the first one, thats why I was wondering if its worth trading like worth doing other things before commiting to it and doing the other, just wondering because no one really has included its use in many guides or builds and like the previous person mentioned at 5 notches it pretty expensive, might work for a lesser risk spell build but I dont know

Thanks guys!

I have been debating with myself on this problem. It may be 5 notches and a bit slow, but it does something that can't be done any other way. As far as I know, you can use it on Path of Pain to remove the risk of restarting at certain checkpoints. Hiveblood as a substitute is really slow and can't be overcharmed without defeating it's purpose. I have also heard it's a fine overcharm for Hall of Gods Radiant difficulty. The issue I have is that I don't want to do that before doing P5 attempts.

From my experience on playing HK on the nintendo (which doesnt really matter) kingsoul to me is just useless. if you wanna do the path of pain without the worry of loosing half of your hp in a few seconds then go ahead, keep it. but i wouldnt actually reccomend it considering the notches and how slow the soul generation generates

Personally I use Grubsong+Deep Focus for that, faster and less annoying than hiveblood but can be used anytime unlike kingsoul. More generally speaking, I think kingsoul is too expensive to be worthwhile in most situations, so I wouldn't bother keeping it. If it was 3 or maybe even 4 notches, it would be much closer a decision.

I used it to complete the delicate flower quest on my first try. Each room, I just waited for my soul to recharge, then blasted all the enemies with spells.
