Cyborg is one of two races that can be obtained through a quest.

This race'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 mostly 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 Instinct-Breaking and doing combos with Instinct-Trickable attacks. This race is only weak when the player cannot deal any damage to enemies while having the V3 ability and V4.

Obtainment

To obtain the Cyborg race, the player needs to complete the Cyborg Puzzle, more info about it can be found on its page.

Overview

• Pros
• Cons

Pros
General Good defense, especially with Energy Core. Good against teamers. The player will almost always have energy, due to the V2 passive. Also makes it good with Phoenix's huge energy drain.
Energy Core (V3) Quick and easy to obtain. Great for combos. Deals bonus damage for free. Improve one-shot combos or long combos. Breaks Instinct. Renders the opponent unable to Instinct trick moves. Decent damage and defense. Good for canceling out enemy's combos, especially the moves that need to be held. (Dough V, Death Step C, etc.) Decent for grinding. Can be used to finish an enemy or boss to level up mastery on a weapon or fruit without having stats on them.
Energy Control (V4) Great mobility. One of the fastest ways to travel combined with Soul Guitar's [TAP] ability. Excellent for grinding/PvP as it hits nearby enemies. Can be deadly in PvP with enemy NPCs around. Orbs can easily break Instinct without aiming the opponent.
Aftershock (V4) Drains opponent's Instinct dodges. Doesn't require to break Instinct to apply the electrifying effect.

Cons
General No movement buffs, unlike other races. Using accessories that boost speed, such as Pilot Helmet, is recommended. No defense buffs against Blox Fruits. Very hard and expensive to obtain, requiring the player to obtain a Fist of Darkness and complete an entire puzzle. The energy passive (V2) is not really useful. None of the V4 gears can hit Sea Beasts.
Energy Core (V3) Can be countered by keeping distances. Requires to be close to break Instinct.
Energy Control (V4) Tier 1 requires Instinct to super jump. Vulnerable in air, requires a solid surface to super jump.
Aftershock (V4) Doesn't break Instinct. Opponents can be invincible to attacks at some times while dodging the electrifying effect. These include attacks that cannot be avoided, such as Godhuman [C] held ability.
