OverviewEdit
The Type's name is a portmanteau of "Cyber" (サイバー Saibā) and "Universe" (ユニバース Yunibāsu). Cyberse monsters are creatures strongly connected to elements of digital technology and cyberspace. Often, they resemble either Insect, Machine, or Psychic monsters, all three of which are also often depicted in relation of computing and the cyberspace. Many humanoids of the Type bear design elements homaging the TRON franchise, such as a visual design element colloquially called the "TRON lines".[1] In Rush Duel, the Type also uses themes of providence, metaphysics, and knowledge.
All six primary Attributes in the game contain Cyberse monsters, with particular concentration on the FIRE, LIGHT, and DARK Attributes. Their general play style revolves around swarming the field with weak monsters to easily Link Summon powerful Link Monsters or other Extra Deck monster types. They also have lots of monsters that banish monsters for effects, or apply effects when banished, in a similar vein to Psychic monsters.
In Rush Duel, due to being initally spearheaded by the first Maximum Monster, "Yggdrago the Sky Emperor", early Cyberse monsters had a focus on the mechanic, often offering large amounts of draw power to ensure the player can obtain all of the Maximum Monster's pieces. Later on however, Cyberse started tending towards more Fusion-oriented playstyles like most other Types.

Appearance in mediaEdit
In Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, the Cyberse monsters are a special kind of monster related to the Cyberse world, created by the Ignis. When Playmaker used these monsters in his Duel against the Knights of Hanoi, the spectators were surprised to see him possess Cyberse monsters.[2] As stated by Varis, through unknown means the Knights of Hanoi had destroyed a vast number of them to the point they believed Cyberse monsters to be extinct. Initially, very few characters use Cyberse monsters until the other Ignis and their creations begin to surface, who all use Cyberse Decks.
The following characters use Cyberse monsters across the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.
