A brilliant scientist obsessed with electricity. In his attempts to perfect his electric golem, he was involved in a terrible accident, and now phases in and out of reality.

Tips & Tricks
- Needless to say, electricity resistance will save your skin now more than ever. Defeating him without it is significantly more dangerous. Avoid straying into water or too close to rock or stone walls. If you encounter him in the Swamp or a similar aqueous environment, consider avoiding that level.
- Nikola will try to get adjacent to you and cast Chain Lightning, causing the spell to bounce between you and him repeatedly. This can cause upwards of 100 damage in a single turn if you don't have rElec, so be very careful.
Trivia
Nikola was named in honor of Nikola Tesla, an inventor famous for his eccentricity and his work with electricity.
