Enker

Enker (エンカー) was the first (and also shortest) 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 Mega Man V, as a card in RockBoard, and as a playable character in Mega Man's Soccer, being the penultimate 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.

Strategy
Enker can be difficult to fight, as he is usually immune to all weapons except the Mega Buster. While fighting him, Enker raises his spear to use his Mirror Buster, absorbing attacks used against him to increase the power, speed, and range of his attack. After the attack, he will move to the other side of the room by running, jumping twice, or doing one jump to the center and then running. He then repeats this pattern. In Mega Man 10, Enker attacks with a similar pattern as he did in Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, but he now moves faster than he did in his previous appearances. The Mirror Buster has also become stronger with fewer attacks, and he occasionally stops in the center of the room. For the first time ever, Enker has also gained a weakness to a Special/Killer Weapon: the Ballade Cracker.
