Collecting a DP Up raises Empress's maximum DP by 20% but does not restore any DP.

Small/large crystals grant 10%/20% DP when collected by Empress (instead of 10%/40% SP when collected by D-Attacker).Д®mpress starts at her current DP maximum upon her initial appearance on a planet or planetoid.

While DP is lower than 20% of the default capacity, Empress will passively regenerate DP at a rate of 2% DP per second, up to the regeneration cap of 20% DP.

Hitting enemies with most sword or Dragon Sword attacks generates DP for each enemy hit, with stronger attacks granting more DP.

DP is primarily generated by hitting enemies with melee attacks, but may also be gained via passive regeneration (up to a limit) or crystals: In both top-down and side views, Empress draws from a pool of Dragon Points (DP) in order to cast her ranged dragon skills. In both modes, Empress is able to sense hostile enemies even while piloting D-Attacker, pinpointing their locations with curved lines which start out red and turn blue after a moment. In side-scrolling mode, she is also immune to fall damage/death, takes only standard damage from attacks (rather than double damage like Jason) and has twice the normal jump height additionally, most planets will enable green platforms for Empress's use while she is outside of D-Attacker. While disembarked from D-Attacker in either top-down or side-scrolling mode, Empress boasts a sizable arsenal across multiple attack buttons. To make up for its inability to restore SP using water pools, the vehicle's Gaia System efficiency is greatly improved, causing 4-5/6-7/8+ block falls to generate 10%/25%/100% SP and max-power falling impacts to emit pulses dealing 120 impact points (which are identical to the pulses produced by D-Attacker upon recovering from a shutdown). In this final area, D-Attacker gains glowing blue lines and the Dragon Water Bind ( Dragon-W.B) Sub-weapon while still having normal access to the rest of its arsenal. Retry points in this Area cannot be used to summon D-Attacker, so Empress must first make her way over to the right side of the Area and reunite with the vehicle, which is sitting where Andreia would normally be found.

After defeating Planade-G using D-Attacker's Gaia System, Empress is thrown into Area О© to fight her way towards Drolrevo, no sidequests or Emblems necessary. This also applies in regards to the Emblems needed for the True Ending.

This article contains spoilers for the endgame of Blaster Master Zero 2. With Empress, however, the player simply gets the coordinates and the Drill Smasher sub-weapon after the boss fight, no dialogue or fruit-hunting.)

(Ex: Normally, Kanna demands three fruits that can be grown across Planet Stranga before she gives the coordinates for Planetoid E-3. In side view, a value of 50 impact points on an enemy indicates a hit dealing 1x G-Crusher Shot damage in top-down view, a value of 15 impact points on an enemy indicates a hit dealing 1x G-Blaster damage.ДЄll interactions dialogue, such as those with other MA pilots is removed. Life and SP/Gun/Ammo Capsules are changed to bread and crystal pickups from D:MFD, while Life Ups and SP Ups are changed to red and blue dragon emblems, respectively, and are further joined by green 'DP Ups' replacing Jason's non-elemental Sub-weapons and Energy Guard.ДЄll damage dealt to and by Empress/D-Attacker is accompanied by RPG-style numerical impact values which are proportional with actual damage dealt or taken, though it is unclear if the displays for damage dealt are 1:1 with the game's internal damage math. Safety concerns aside, this makes Empress the first Metal Attacker pilot to be visible aboard her craft while it is actively player-controlled. Gaia-SOPHIA is wholly replaced by the functionally identical Dragon Attacker (D-ATTACKER), which resembles the head of Empress's bonded dragon Atruum attached to an open-air pull cart that she rides in while embarked. Appearances and Synopses Blaster Master Zero 2 ДЄs with Copen before her, Empress ventures through the game without dialogue or cutscenes to justify her appearance, though her initial spawn on each planet or planetoid is accompanied by a 'Quest Start' telop and an appropriate chime from D:MFD that plays before segueing into the normal music for the stage in question.
