Dark Samus' Phazon-based attacks also have a lower hitlag multiplier compared to Samus' equivalent attacks in order to maintain consistency with Samus' moveset.}}

|dairdesc=Swings her Arm Cannon in a downward arcing motion. Hitting with the move's trail [[meteor smash]]es opponents, while the edges of the move at the very start and end deal decent horizontal knockback. Autocancels from a short hop, and due to its relatively low ending lag, the meteor smash is excellent for starting combos on grounded opponents, much like her up tilt.

|zairdesc=Fires the {{iw|metroidwiki|Grapple Beam}}. Due to having only 8 frames of landing lag, it is a useful spacing option and can reliably set up combos at close range upon landing. It autocancels from a full hop and has impressive range, being the longest grab aerial in game. Unlike in previous games, however, hitting an opponent causes the Grapple Beam to retract earlier, while not reducing the move's ending lag.

Dark Samus's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} as Dark Samus. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Dark Samus has been unlocked. Unlocking Dark Samus in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Her fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with her artwork in ''Ultimate''.
