In his duel against the orcs' "Behemoth Royal Family," he had relied on the powerful "Shadow Dive" to toy with that Behemoth without ever revealing himself.
When dueling him, the thing one needed to guard against most was this "Shadow Dive," with curses coming second.
However, Dark understood "Shadow Dive" more deeply than most people, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.
After being matched against Chloe Artemis, he immediately began constructing a new deck.
As a dark-element spell, "Shadow Dive" naturally feared the Light Attribute most.

Without shadows, "Shadow Dive" naturally could not function at all. But in actual combat, it was of course impossible to create a shadowless environment so easily.

"Shadow Dive" was merely a supplementary spell he practiced alongside his magitech techniques, an extra skill on top of everything else.
