Dark Kiva only appears to have one form, similar to that of Kiva Emperor Form, only in black and red. However, Dark Kiva does not require the use of a being such as Tatsulot to achieve this form. As Dark Kiva, the wearer has access to a unlimited potential of power that is hindered for Kiva such as telekinesis and the use of the Kiva insignia as a weapon.
In search of power stronger than the Saga armor, the Fangire created a new armor meant for the second king. The armor is also known in dialogue as the , and can reach its limits by accessing the wearer's natural abilities, but it has the drawback of making the wearer lose control. The first King, now equipped with the Dark Kiva armor used the Wake Up III finisher "King's World End" during the fight against the Legendorgas. Due to the huge loss of Fangire life after the finisher was used, Knight and Pawn sealed off the use of the finishing attack.https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/dictionaries/works_search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search_dictionaries_form%5Bkamen_rider_id=9&search_dictionaries_form%5Bicon=11&initial=%E3%81%9F
Kamen Rider Dark Kiva has the following parts:
* : Dark Kiva's helmet. The bat-like wings on the head are called "Zenon Stabilizers", and spreads the stress on the user's brain by maximizing the demonic power of the user and armor.
*: A depressant called Darkness Tar is applied to the armor to control the demonic power which is amplified by the 3 Demon Emperor Stones to prevent self destruction. The silver stripe in the center is called the . It is an energy conduit which is connected to Kivat-Bat II to control the demonic power.
*: Like Kiva Emperor Form, the stones control the air, water and Earth, and amplifies the strength of the user by ten. The purity is higher than Emperor Form's 3 stones and has stronger amplification powers.
*: The cape. It can neutralize all physical attacks in the world. By swinging the cape, Dark Kiva can generate a blade of darkness to penetrate enemy defenses.
*: The undersuit made of GaoraDoran leather. The material is rare, and it is made using the finest quality 1200 year-old Doran leather, and boasts 3 times the defense of Kiva's armor.
* : The shoulder armor made of polished Bloody Stone, has a blade that is sharp enough to cut like a razor with just a touch. It functions as armor and a powerful weapon in close combat.
*: The bright crimson armor made of Bloody Stone. It is said it is not possible to refine it further, it stores demonic power and combines the power with the user.
*: The black lines on the Bloody Armor. They are restraint bands made of Darkness Tar with the purpose of cooling down the demonic power to protect the user from being overpowered and self destructing as a result.
Kamen Rider Dark Kiva has the following finishers:
*: Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up One," Dark Kiva crosses his arms as the environment is filled with a dark red fog. He then jumps into the air towards a red moon in the sky, spinning vertically before diving down at his opponent with a powerful punch.
*: Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up Two," Dark Kiva crosses his arms as the environment is filled with a dark red fog. He then jumps into the air towards a red moon in the sky, spinning vertically and floats in front of it as his visor glows. He then dives down with a green energy bat around his legs, performing a strong kick attack.
*: Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up Three," a self-destruct attack with an unknown amount of power. It was not used in the series, however it is later used by Hundred member Saigetsu: Dark Kiva crosses his arms as the environment is filled with a dark red fog. He then jumps into the air and floats in front of a red moon as his visor begins to glow a bright green. He then creates a large black Kiva Riders' Crest in the sky, causing it to expand with immense amounts of energy. However, this finisher was not successfully performed due to the Legend Kamen Riser's interference.
