What Meliodas does
A Darkness attacker who hits hardest during Darkness Burst: the Ultimate deals 100% more damage (on a 449% base) against a target with it active, and landing his Normal Skill adds another 200% of Attack. Haste from 
Abyssal Dash cuts 
Chain Attack's cooldown on those targets, and 
Abyssal Power Smash marks enemies with Demon Energy so 
Circle Slash can teleport in and reset itself.
