Enker

**Enker** (エンカー *Enkā*) is the first robot from the "Mega Man Killer" series built by Dr. Wily, the only purpose of which is to destroy Mega Man. In *Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge*, he appears after the second set of Robot Masters is defeated. His Mirror Buster allows him to absorb shots into his spear (called the Barrier Spear) and fire them back at Mega Man as either small buster shots or large waves, depending on the amount of shots taken.

Enker also appeared in *Mega Man V*, as a card in *RockBoard*,and as a playable character in *Mega Man's Soccer*, being the antepenultimate boss of the Capcom Championship mode. He reappears as one of the bosses from the downloadable Special Stages in *Mega Man 10*, alongside Punk and Ballade.

Enker's only real interest is to destroy Mega Man and not much else beyond that, leaving him with a very cold and gloomy personality. Being a robot built with a Japanese theme, however, he is a profound individual with a strong Japanese spirit, and a liking for New Year's Eve. However, his cold nature makes him somewhat anti-social, and causes him to hang back in the shadows, away from others.

## Official Appearances

### *Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge*

Enker debuts as this game's Mega Man Killer, and is fought at the very end of the Wily Castle. Once the second wave Robot Masters (the ones from *Mega Man 2*) have been defeated, a new capsule opens up, which will take the player to fight against Enker for the very first time.

#### Attack Pattern

Enker is a back-and-forth boss, always doing actions that make him go back and forth across the room. He can move to the other side by either doing a full jump to the other side, running at high speed (using his Barrier Spear to block attacks), or doing 2 jumps to get there (though the 2nd jump may be replaced by him going into a run). During his action after the first smaller jump, the player will be able to anticipate and dodge both the run and/or jump if they do a full jump, as Enker's jump height is just high enough that the player won't bonk their head on him.

Once Enker gets to the other side, he will raise his Barrier Spear high into the air, which will attract shots to it. After raising it for some time, Enker will use Mirror Buster, stabbing his spear forward to fire a projectile. The catch is when Enker raises his spear, he'll still get damaged but the shots that get attracted to it will power up his Mirror Buster, buffing its speed, size, and damage. There are 3 variations of the projectile: 0-1 absorptions release the smallest projectile, 2-3 release a medium-sized projectile, and 4 release the biggest projectiles.

#### Weapon

Enker's weapon is Mirror Buster, which can be held to create a protective barrier in front of him. It does no damage, but it will convert any projectile into a new projectile that is shot forward, piercing through enemies to do high damage. It can also go vertically or diagonally depending on the enemy projectile's angle. It is only usable in the Wily Station stage, but it can't get much use as it is necessary to defeat the Wily Machine's 2nd form. Each reflection uses 1 ammo.

#### Weakness

Enker does not have a weakness: only the Mega Buster can damage him.

### *Mega Man V*

Enker returns in *Mega Man V*, encountered inside the Wily Star. His battle is exactly the same except for his weakness, as he is now weak to the Mega Arm. Thus, Enker can be defeated faster if Mega Man has acquired the CL enhancement for the Mega Arm, allowing the weapon to deal more damage to Enker.

### *Mega Man 10*

Enker returns again in *Mega Man 10*, this time having his own special stage (along with the other Mega Man Killers) instead of appearing in a Wily stage. His battle is a little different this time around, as he now moves faster, his Mirror Buster is stronger and charges more quickly, and he sometimes stops in the middle of the room. Also, Enker is weak to a special weapon this time around: the Ballade Cracker. Mega Man also obtains Mirror Buster after defeating Enker in this game.

## Fan Game Appearances
