The Entangler is the Charge Beam technique for the Dark Beam. It is not to be confused with the Darkburst, the Dark Beam's Charge Combo. The Entangler is a charged mass of dark energy that has the strange ability to encase targets, and harden into a brittle shell. Firing the Entangler will encase most creatures within a certain radius completely, immobilizing and providing the perfect opportunity to shatter the target with a single Missile. This technique is highly effective for use against the troublesome Dark Pirate Commandoes, and also effective when used in tandem with the charged Light Beam against Dark Grenchlers. It is not necessary to directly hit a target with the Entangler, as it will attract to any possible targets within a short radius. Targets hit with the Entangler will be rendered motionless for a short time, and cause any other creatures that come into contact with this target to freeze as well, but this will only occur before the dark matter has hardened around the original target.
