Editing Dharkon (section)

=== Attacks and Techniques ===

* '''Crushing Shade''': involves Dharkon transforming his tentacles into a hammer to attack Galeem's core if Galeem is stunned. This attack damages both the Lord of Light and players standing near his core. 
* '''Spark Serpent''': send a tentacle snaking around the arena, coated in dark energy, with his eye trailing close behind. In his second phase, the tentacle’s length increases, making it harder to evade.
* '''Necrotic Photonic Wave''': covers two sides of the screen with dark energy, leaving only a shifting safe zone. This move rapidly damages any fighter who touches the waves. Dharkon uses this attack only during his second phase in his second fight. If Galeem is present, they split the screen, but Dharkon covers the bottom alone if Galeem is stunned.
* '''Shadow Eruption''': creates beams of darkness that erupt from the ground near the player's location, with their appearance signaled by Dharkon's eye flashing purple. 
* '''Shadow Shape''': spawns dark puppet fighters that self-destruct after a set time, damaging nearby players. These puppet fighters, created only during his second phase, can attack Galeem's clones when both bosses are present.
* '''Tangled Rush''': sees Dharkon sending his tentacles through portals, damaging anyone in their path. He uses this move more frequently in his second phase. Tentacle Drill involves Dharkon striking the player with up to five consecutive tentacles, with his eye exposed after the final strike.
* '''Thorn Spray''': unleashes a barrage of energy bullets from the top left corner of the screen, with damage increasing the closer the player is. In his second phase, Dharkon finishes this attack with a massive blast of dark energy. 
* '''Temporal Rift''': A tentacle slash that creates a red line across the screen, slowing down any characters it touches. In his second phase, he creates two intersecting lines for a more challenging effect.
* '''X Bomb''': summons small explosive objects that detonate in X-shaped beams of darkness. He creates more bombs in his second phase, and in his second fight, the bombs detonate at staggered intervals. 
* '''Thorn Wheel''': transforms Dharkon into a giant circular shape with saw-blade-like objects orbiting him. This move limits player movement during the climbing section of the final battle against Galeem and Dharkon.
* '''Tentacle Drill 2''': features Dharkon's tentacles destroying platforms as they sweep across the screen. This move appears only in the final climbing section on Easy difficulty and above, adding another layer of challenge to the climactic battle.
