'''Riki''' ({{ja|リキ|Riki}}, ''Riki'') is a character from the {{uv|Xenoblade}} universe.

==Character description==

Riki is the resident Heropon of Frontier Village. The Elder, Dunga, reveals that this position has very little to do with Riki's worth, but as payment for a large number of debts Riki and his family have accrued. He is forced into Shulk's party as a matter of helping him and Melia fight the Telethia. His fighting style is based on arts capable of inflicting several negative status conditions to the opponents.

Riki is a very childish character. He speaks in a largely childish matter, and has very little bearing on the plot at large. However, he is a devoted follower of Shulk and Melia, and is a competent fighter when he needs to be. A conversation in ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' reveals that he is actually 40 years old, and has a wife and eleven children.

When he actually participates in combat, Riki plays as a thief-mage combination, with the main ability of being able to occasionally steal stats, health or even experience from opponents, along with being able to cause status affects quickly against many opponents. As a result, he deals less damage head-on, but much more damage over time, and he is able to use his many status-inducing moves to interrupt enemy arts in order to keep his team safe while softening tougher foes with damage over time. He also has the ability to keep the party healthy, possessing a healing move, a skill to increase the party gauge, along with one to keep the group's tension high, which gives him a very good role as a supporting character to make battles easier.

Riki appears both as an Assist Trophy and part of Shulk's Final Smash. All of his voice clips are directly ripped from ''Xenoblade Chronicles''.

Riki stands in place and randomly uses the following Arts:

*'''Happy Happy''' raises the launch and attack power of all fighters

*'''Freezinate''' can [[Freezing|freeze]] opponents

*'''Yoink!''' pulls items close to Riki

*'''Bedtime''' puts opponents to sleep

*'''You Can Do It''' heals all fighters

*'''Roly Poly''' makes opponents trip if they're on the ground.
