Let's not forget that Darkyle is a powerful swordsman (with a BFS to boot.) The Elemental Ring he wears may give him a lot of power,  but it does not only manifest in energy based attacks. If people can get around his energy attacks, he can just simply cut them down. I dunno man, it seems like you overlooked this paragraph.

"While he is free to control the elements, he mostly resorts to destroying his opponents with his large sword. Unlike Kyle, who wields a one-handed sword with both hands, Darkyle's sword is legitimately meant for two hands, and is wielded as such. The sword itself has no special attributes, however Darkyle can empower it with the ring for different attacks. His most commonly used special attack, "Blood Sucker", drains away a minor portion of the victim's health and absorbs it."

So basically, not only he can use physical attacks charged with energy, but that's his main way of fighting. And even if that weren't the case, Negative Elements aren't something you can just simply 'shrug off', either. I know I didn't go into very big detail about them, but long story short, they kinda screw with the elemental laws of physics.

I know his final form is rather vague as well, but I don't want to spill the beans on everything. Y'know, spoilers and all for my stuff.
