Rik

Rik is a fire golem, whose abilities center around using wisps and enchanted fireballs to collect power and gain benefits. Rik costs 5000 coins to unlock.

He is one of the two characters that take advantage of wisps, the other being Panic Bot.

Abilities
Rik begins with Fire and Stone, and unlocks Flaming Shield at first upgrade. They upgrade further and unlock Blaze at their second upgrade. On their final upgrade, they automatically begin with their Flaming Shield active.


 * Fire and stone (Passive): Immune to fire and frozen wisps, absorbs fire balls and fire wisps. Also can't be crushed by pistons.
 * In-game: "You are completely fireproof! You're also pretty tough: pistons can't crush you."
 * Flaming Shield (Passive): Once Rik absorbs 10 enchanted fireballs or fire wisps, he is circled with a red flame. The flame blocks one attack, and besides being immune to fire acts the same as the Shield ability of Sir Gylbard.
 * In-game: "Collect enchanted flames to activate a fire shield that absorbs one hit. Restorable."
 * In-game upgrade text: "Absorb fire and let it protect you. If the shield break, just absorb more fire. FIRE."
 * At final level, Rik begins with an active shield.
 * In-game upgrade text: "Fire has your back. Start every run with your shield already charged!"
 * Blaze (Active): Using the same counter as the Flaming Shield, Rik can use the shield to fire a missile forward. The missile explodes on contact with an object, killing any enemy hit and any enemies in a 3-tile radius around the explosion point.
 * In-game: "Once your Flaming Shield is active, either keep it or use it as a missile of great power.
 * In-game upgrade text: "Your fire shields hold great power. Use them for defence or offence as the situation demands."

Appearance
Rik has glowing eyes and an orange body made of four large rocks in a plus formation, the top rock being a spiky head. He has a hole in his chest. When his abilities are ready to be used, there will be a fireball spinning around him as you run through the dungeon. When Rik moves onto a tile, he leaves red-hot cracks in the space. These have no effect.
