- Dark Sprint can be used after learning Instant Accel and S: Instant Accel, and you to speed up once more while performing S: Instant Accel.
- Dark Sprint: Speed through enemies in a blaze while inflicting damage to those nearby. If Dark Sprint is learned, Doom can also inflict damage while using S: Instant Accel.
- Dark Sprint can also be used while using S: Charge.
