How to Get Psyber in Catch a Monster & Psyber Rift Guide (2026)

Psyber is a high-level monster in Catch a Monster that players encounter primarily through Rift content. It has become one of the most-discussed monsters in the community due to its heavily buffed Rift boss mechanics. This guide covers how to get Psyber and how to handle the Psyber Rift efficiently.

What is Psyber?

Psyber is a Psychic/Tech-type monster known for a unique skill set compared to most monsters in the game. As a catchable creature it is a solid mid-to-high tier pick, and as a Rift boss it is one of the most resilient enemies in the game.

How to Get Psyber

Method 1: Catch Psyber in the Wild

Method 3: Psyber Rift (Catch After Defeat)

Psyber's Skills and Why Players Use It

Psyber's skills offer a different playstyle compared to the current meta (Eclipse Knight + Undine). Community discussions suggest:

Psyber has a psychic-type skill with moderate cooldown, but the community has widely requested a skill rework — many consider both the skill power and cooldown undertuned Its niche is utility-based rather than sheer damage output Not recommended as a replacement for Eclipse Knight or Undine in the current meta; best used as a third-slot pick or for type coverage

Psyber as a Rift Boss: The Damage Reduction Problem

The most-discussed aspect of Psyber in March 2026 is its role as a Rift boss with massive built-in damage reduction.

What Happened?

In a recent update, Psyber received a substantial protection buff when appearing as the Rift boss. Players who previously dealt billions of DPS found their effective damage reduced to approximately 30 million per hit — a staggering nerf that significantly extends clear times.

Practical Impact

Players who previously could carry 3 people through Psyber Rifts can now barely complete their own solo runs Even fully maxed Eclipse Knight A+10 + Undine B sees dramatically reduced damage output The boss's HP scales with player count, but the damage cap makes larger parties even less efficient per-person

Community Response

This change is among the most negatively received balance decisions in recent memory. Multiple players have submitted requests to: Reduce or remove the damage reduction Rebalance it to a more moderate level Provide clarity on whether this is intended behaviour or a bug

As of March 2026, the damage reduction remains in place.

Tips for Clearing Psyber Rift

Given the damage cap, here are optimised strategies:

1. Solo the Rift if you are strong enough Solo Psyber Rift means the boss has its minimum HP pool. The damage cap still applies, but less total HP makes this the fastest clear option for high-end players.

2. Two-player runs over three If you need help, two players is the best group size. Three players scales boss HP further while the damage cap limits your collective output disproportionately.

3. Prioritise consistent DPS over burst Since burst damage is capped, monsters with sustained DPS (multi-hit skills, fast cooldowns) perform relatively better than single-hit burst monsters against Psyber Rift.

4. Use Undine's stun effectively Undine's stun prevents Psyber from using its skills, reducing incoming damage and giving your team more time to whittle down HP. Even with the damage cap, Undine remains essential.

5. Open Rifts during Bloodmoon For mutation hunters, opening Psyber Rifts during Bloodmoon weather increases your chance of receiving Bloodlit Psyber as the catchable reward.
