Cyborg Puzzle
Description
Cyborg is one of three races that can be obtained through a quest. Cyborg's special abilities allow the player to fight and combo more effectively in close quarters, by disabling Instinct or by dealing extra damage and increasing their own defense. This race is mainly used against teamers due to its ability to deal extremely effective wide-area damage. In general, this race is great for grinding, PvP against teamers and especially breaking combos. Additionally, it is also good for breaking Instinct and doing combos with Instinct-trickable attacks. However, the V3's average range is also a slight drawback, and the V4's damage output is not a good choice in 1v1s. Each stage will give additional buffs and make visual changes to the player's avatar.

Trivia
10- 1
The damage reduction from Cyborg V2 (10%) and V3 (30%) combined is 37% (not 40%).
- 2
The Cyborg V4 Energy Control Jump (Both UP and Non-Up) works in Buddha Transformation and Shift(v2).
- 3
Sometimes the jump in V4 can glitch in Buddha form causing you to get the jump again while in air.
- 4
There is a common misconception that Cyborg's v3 makes combos impossible to Instinct trick, this is untrue, as the damage ticks on cyborg are usually too slow.
- 5
The Cyborg race, along with the Human race, are the only races that do not provide buffs to the user on V1.
- 6
Cyborg's V3 ability was reworked to create lightning that deals continuous AoE damage, burns enemies over time, causing them to take a large amount of total damage and breaks Instinct when near. It also reduces damage taken by up to 30%. But it was nerfed shortly after release:
- 7
Lightning damage is now equal to 6.5% of the player's current level instead of 10%. Base damage before level-based bonus also reduced from 0.1 to 0 (reduces damage per tick by 35%).
- 8
The number of tick dots was reduced from 44 to 33.
- 9
Reduces the range of lightning damage, as well as the range of Instinct break. Lightning will now no longer break Instinct when the enemy is at the edge of the lightning AOE, meaning the enemy must be closer to break Instinct.
- 10
Changed how the V1 and V3 accessory looks.
