The Dark Beam fires a blast of dark energy that can encase its targets in dark matter, in a function similar to that of the [[Ice Beam]]. Normal blasts from the Dark Beam take numerous hits to encase its target, whereas the [[Charge Beam|charged]] Dark Beam, known as the '''Entangler''',<ref name=Notes/> can instantly encase a target. The Entangler also spreads to any nearby enemies, either damaging or freezing them. [[Samus Aran|Samus]] can shatter most encased enemies with [[Missile]]s.
The Dark Beam fires a spiraling ball of condensed dark energy. The Dark Beam is a cross between the [[Ice Beam]] and the Wave Beam; it fires about as fast as the Wave Beam, but it has the Ice Beam's properties of being a slow-moving projectile that slows down enemies upon contact. Normal blasts from the Dark Beam take numerous hits to encase its target, whereas the [[Charge Beam|charged]] Dark Beam, known as the '''Entangler''',<ref name=Notes/> can instantly encase a target.

Samus can use the Dark Beam to open [[Portal]]s to [[Dark Aether]]. Shields with a light polarity can be overloaded by the Dark Beam. It can temporarily disable [[Light Crystal|Light Crystals]]. [[Lift Crystal|Lift Crystals]] can also be manipulated through use of the Dark Beam.
