Cyborg Race Overview & Lore
The Cyborg Race was introduced in Update 14 and offers a technological edge over other races. Its core strength lies in energy efficiency and combo disruption.
Upon obtaining V2, you earn the title “The Cyborg”. At V3, you become the “War Machine”. And finally, when reaching V4, you’re crowned “Genesis”—symbolizing full mastery of the cybernetic path.
Cyborg is perfect for players who want a durable, energy-rich character that can stand their ground against aggressive enemies and counter burst-heavy playstyles.
If you’re willing to go through the Fist of Darkness challenge and Race Awakening puzzles, the Cyborg Race offers an exciting, disruptive playstyle with incredible defense and team fight impact.
