Riki/Gameplay

Riki is the sixth party member in Xenoblade Chronicles (or fifth, depending on whether 's temporary status counts). He is a jack of all trades, able to fill almost any slot in a party composition. His main strength is in and debuffs, with his unique support arts coming close behind. His massive (the highest of all party members) makes him somewhat capable of tanking, but his arts are not suited for it.
==Stats==
Due to Riki being short, he must swim in shallower water than other party members. This reduces his effective range when fighting near water.

==Trivia==
* Originally, Riki was going to have the lowest HP of all party members. Having the highest instead was somewhat of an unplanned change that played well and stuck.
*:Yokota: Riki originally had the lowest HP, to match how he looks. So when Mr. Kojima said, "I'm giving him the most HP!", I was like, "Huh?" (laughs) But when I tried it, it didn't feel out of place. He's one tough Heropon.Kojima: I wanted to give him something unique. It makes him very satisfying to play. I hope you try it. Monado Archives, page 007横田：リキは、はじめは見た目通りに一番HPが低かったんですけど。いつだったか小島さんから「HP一番高くします!」と聞いて、「えっ？」て（笑）。でもやってみると達和感なかったですね。さすが勇者様です。小島：なにか特長をつけたいなと思って。でも本当に、自分で操作すると面白いですから。ぜひ触ってあげてほしいなと思います。
