Riki is the only Assist Trophy to run a facility in Ultimate.In Riki's case, his Chain Attack voice clips are listed in Shulk's folder, while his Assist Trophy voice clips are listed under the Assist Trophy folder. Mario, who are considered separate in-game characters, Riki and Chrom are the only characters to appear in multiple Sound Test folders in Ultimate. Riki is also the first Assist Trophy to not appear as an enemy, being followed by Spring Man.The others are the Hammer Bro., the Starman, Lakitu & Spinies, the Chain Chomp, Rathalos, Spring Man and the Metroid. Riki is one of seven Assist Trophies to appear in a second capacity within a single game, appearing in Shulk's Chain Attack.While he is mostly based on his default appearance, his hairdo is instead based on his unequipped/swimsuit appearance. Upon being summoned, Riki will announce "Leave it to Heropon!", and once his time is up, he disappears while saying "All go to plan!" All of his voice clips are directly ripped from Xenoblade Chronicles. Riki appears both as an Assist Trophy and part of Shulk's Final Smash. Non canonically, he also cameos in " This Year's Heropon Challenge Battle" in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, as the single foe of wave 12. Riki's fate is unknown after the events of Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected, as he does not appear in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 besides as a cameo in a flashback from Melia, which happens in her last Hero Quest. During the Final Smash, Riki can be seen attacking with his Biter, a weapon specific to him, and also using a seventh art, Lurgy. He also participates in Shulk's Final Smash, Chain Attack, in a similar way to the Chain Attack mechanic in the original game. Riki's six arts as an Assist Trophy all originate from his available arts in Xenoblade Chronicles, with similar effects. As a result, he can fill a variety of roles in many party compositions. But while Riki can do a lot of things, he is not the best at any of them - he can't effectively use his high health to tank when several of his arts are best used without aggro, his other stats are very middling, and everything he can do can be done more consistently by someone else. His talent art is Yoink!, which allows him to steal items, stat boosts, and experience points from enemies. He has an even spread of physical and ether attacks, an effective healing move, and the most health of any playable character. He wields several arts that have unusual effects that can be stacked together, many of which hit multiple foes. While Riki is presented as goofy and ineffective in plot, he has a variety of useful skills in battle. However, as a 40-year old married father of eleven (to the surprise of non-Nopon), with two of them named Nene and Kino in Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected, he is surprisingly knowledgable with interpersonal relationships he relates to Dunban's difficulties of taking care of younger family members, and tries to support Melia by reading her hidden emotions and weaknesses.
He is very enthusiastic, gets hungry easily, speaks in a largely childish matter, refers to the party as "Heropon and sidekicks", and often thanks himself for contributing more than he actually did in any given situation. Much like his appearance, Riki is a very childish character.
Afterward, Riki has almost no effect on the plot at large, and only serves as occasional comic relief. Once the Telethia is defeated, Riki is told to continue travelling with Shulk and assist him as needed, which while again framed by the elder as prophecy, is easily seen by everyone as a way to get rid of him. Riki quickly reveals that he was selected as Heropon not because he is skilled or special, but as a way to work off the massive debts accrued by his many children's appetites. As the Heropon, he is told to join Shulk and his party to help defeat the Telethia rampaging through the forest.
He is a resident of Frontier Village, the Nopon village, and has been assigned the yearly position of "Heropon" by Dunga the village elder. In Xenoblade Chronicles, Riki is one of Shulk's party members, being the second-to-last playable character to permanently join the team (being the last to be introduced, as Fiora leaves the party for an extended period before becoming its final member).
