Both of the user's legs and arms are covered in black with spikes protruding out, while also having a black, kilt-like structure worn around the user's waist. The user's diamond on their chest is now significantly hollowed-out as well as having their black aura considerably denser than previous stages.
For Stage 4 of Apol Spirit, the user retains the same look from Stage 3, albeit with a slight change. The user's mask is now fully constructed and covers their entire face as well as having a white-and-blue-striped tail on their back.
