Notable Attacks/Techniques:
In General
- Dark Elf: A Cyber-Elf created from Zero's DNA, it was created to be the cure for the Maverick Virus at the end of the Maverick Wars. Due to carrying Zero's antigens, it is able to cure the Maverick Virus by completely rewriting the DNA and souls of every Reploid in range. However, as shown by its actions of the Dark Elf after Weil corrupted her, the Mother Elf also has various abilities for combat purposes, being able to emit powerful forcefields that require the combined firepower of the remaining Guardians along with Zero's own power to destroy. In addition, she has been shown to grant her wielders powerful regenerative capabilities as well as the ability to modify and upgrade their bodies as well as those of other robots at will, turning non-combat robots into powerful Reploids capable of fighting X and Zero on even ground. As the original and most powerful Cyber Elf, it is also likely that she has access to the abilities of other Cyber Elves, including the ability to rewrite the information of Cyber Space to erase chosen enemies from existence, completely recharge Elpizo's Energy, boosting his physical capabilities, absorbing oncoming projectiles, stunning enemies, slowing time to a crawl, halving the target's effective combat endurance and durability, and turning foes into relatively helpless Mettaurs.
First Combat Form
- Dark Drain: Elpizo will summon a ring of purple orbs that quickly chase the enemy and drain his health.
- Splash Laser: Elpizo will point his beam rapier upwards, shooting multiple dark energy bullets that create shockwaves upon reaching the ground, erupting into dark flames.
- Distortion Aura: Summons a Pantheon Guardian or a Spiking to distract foes.
- Grand Burst: Elpizo enters Dark Overdrive, mimicking the Overdrive ability of the Four Guardians. He becomes wrapped in a shadowy aura that blocks any attack until it wears off. While invincible, he sends his rapier spinning into the air, blasting a huge, blue column into the ground and spitting rocks in all directions. After the attack ends, his sword returns, whirling back like a boomerang.
Second Combat Form
- Chain Walls: Elpizo summons two spiked walls to trap and crush his opponents.
- Shadow Vortex: Elpizo will summon a green orb that gradually increases in speed, unwinding around him to cut off those who try to engage him in close range.
- Dual Macabre: He summons the Baby Elves to attack opponents from both sides with a flood of clones.
- Chaos Blazer: Elpizo's winged segments light up randomly, and the tips send out golden proton blasts that home on the enemy.
