Dark Channel is a unique biotic power available to Javik and the N7 Fury Adept in Mass Effect 3. This power hits a targeted enemy with a powerful biotic field that does constant damage for an extended period. If the enemy is killed and the power still has duration, it will hop to a nearby enemy.

Player Notes
- Targets afflicted with Dark Channel can be detonated using Charge, Throw, Warp, Shockwave, and Slam.
- Since it transfers to another enemy when the affected target dies, Dark Channel can be used to set up several biotic explosions in rapid succession. Use Dark Channel on weak infantry, then spam Throw for optimal results.
