Riksis, Devil Archon

"Die!"

- Riksis

Riksis, Devil Archon is the Fallen Archon of Sepiks Prime and a leader of the House of Devils in the Cosmodrome in Old Russia, known for collecting the skulls of dead Guardians as offerings to Sepiks Prime itself.

Gameplay
Riksis is a boss in the Restoration, story mission, the second mission in the game. He is armed with a Shrapnel Launcher for ranged combat, and has higher health and attack strength than normal Fallen, and drops an NLS Drive. It is recommended that Guardians keep their distance from him, as once stirred he is unpredictably elusive and quick with a wave of power called the "Ultra Smash", an extremely powerful area-of-effect melee attack that causes Guardians to experience tremendous knockback, unless the attack kills them instantly. Guardians should rely on their class abilities such as grenades and Supers when fighting him, or just avoid him if they want to wait for a later battle. Riksis will sometimes hide behind the supports in the area you fight him, forcing you to always find new ways of attack.

Trivia
He was called "Rixis, Archon Slayer" in early builds. He originally appeared inside The Breach before being moved to the Restoration mission.
