Lethal Joke Character/Playing With

Basic Trope: A Joke Character has a certain way to use him/her to make them effective.
 * Played Straight: When Bob, Alice, Charlie, Emily, and Dave get the King Doll Mon, it's completely useless. However, when it gets to low power, it uses Meteor Crash, and becomes an Infinity Plus One Sword.
 * Exaggerated: The King Doll does 1 damage and dies in 1 hit. If it defeats an enemy, you get the King's Ring, which will make it incredibly strong and it uses Meteor Crash constantly.
 * Downplayed: All you need is the King's Ring and it'll become a Game Breaker.
 * Inverted: The King Doll is a Crutch Character given by the king to his son Prince Bob.
 * Justified: It Was a Gift, but it needed to be weak with a gimmick of being strong.
 * Subverted: It becomes weak after one use of Meteor Crash.
 * Double Subverted: Until the end of the battle, because Meteor Crash beefs the King Doll up again.
 * Parodied: No villain will strike it because it'll come out with Meteor Crash.
 * Zig Zagged: ???
 * Averted: Useless characters stay useless.
 * Enforced: The programmers wanted to reward really devoted players with an easily dismissed powerful character that takes time to master.
 * Lampshaded: "Look who's laughing now."
 * Invoked: The King Doll plays up its weaknesses so that no one will suspect its lethality.
 * Exploited: ???
 * Defied: ???
 * Discussed: ???
 * Conversed: ???
