Back in the arena again for the first time since becoming a Godlike finalist, Rika looks to continue her winning ways. Her first opponent, the demon-possessed jester Dhoulmagus, is a fighter who prefers slow, grinding fights. Not a bad strategy for dealing with a ball-lightning Low Godlike or two, but doomed to failure against an opponent with as much healing as Rika. For every attack or spell the clown makes, Rika will have a healing spell to answer, and with her far superior speed, she'll be able to mix in plenty of Doubleslash attacks, too. Dhoulmagus' vulnerability to stat downs will only make her life easier, but fundamentally aren't necessary - if Rika could outlast her stalwart comrade Wren, then Dhoulmagus' chances of an upset are as humourous as his profession.
