Most of these gates also boost the power of Darkus attacks. They could also drain stats and ignore defenses, but they also didn't have any fast attacks without having prerequisite stat advantages (i.e. winning in agility). Their [[Fighting Styles]] were:*[[Darkness Falls]]*[[Darkness Falls 2]]*[[Solemn Night]]*[[Balance of Power]]*[[Strike from Shadow]]*[[Gate Controller]]*[[Darkened Waves]] (Darkus and Aquos)*[[Light in the Shadow]] (RebootHaos and Darkus) ===BakuTech!
