When Dark Samus releases shots of Phazon energy, Samus is able to draw them in by charging her arm cannon, energizing her next Charge shot with Phazon. This blast is powerful enough to penetrate through Dark Samus's energy shield, which is described as impermeable to any weapon except that of Phazon energy.<ref>{{cite|Dark Samus has temporarily become a being of pure yet unstable Phazon energy.
