Dark Phazon was made while Clive was researching the propertiers of both Dark Energon and Phazon. When Megatron and Dark Samus found an abundant amount, Clive was able to mix them, creating a deadly energy crystal that is able to boost the user's stats. If the user is not evil enough, they will be corrupted, becoming insane and power hungry.
In general, attacks empowered by Dark Phazon will inflict corruption. Effects of the corruption vary depending on the severity. Light corruption will result in slight damage over time and increased confusion, while high corruption will result in .5% of the corrupted's maximum health every second, the Dark Phazon stat boosts, and a 75% chance that they will attack allies.
