Psycho Cut in Pokemon Survivor

Psycho Cut at a glance

What Psycho Cut does

Psycho Cut is a Psychic-type boomerang move. Psychic blades that come back to you.

A Pokemon can learn it if it is Psychic-type, which is true of 96 of the 966 Pokemon. It reaches you as a new-move card when you level up, as long as one of your four move slots is free. No Pokemon begins a run with it, so you only find it on level-up cards. Each level-up draws three cards by weight from up to six new-move candidates, your move upgrades and the stat cards, so even a good move can sit out several level-ups.

Psycho Cut stats by level

At level 1, Psycho Cut deals 9 damage with a 0.8 second cooldown. At level 5 that becomes 18 damage every 0.8 seconds.

A boomerang hits on the way out and on the way back, so one throw can hit the same enemy twice, and the damage you get depends on how many enemies it passes through. The table lists every number the game gives Psycho Cut, so it has no single damage per second figure.

How to use Psycho Cut

• Boomerang moves aim at an enemy touching you first, then at a boss within 330 pixels, then at the nearest enemy, and wait until a target is in reach before they fire. A crowd around you takes the hits before a boss does.
• Fighting and Poison take 60% more damage from Psychic moves, while Psychic and Steel take 40% less and Dark takes only 30% of the damage. Enemies with two types multiply both effects. See the type chart.
• Other boomerang moves are Razor Leaf and Bonemerang. The moves list compares all 64.
• Each Reflexes card multiplies every cooldown by 0.92 and each Power card multiplies damage by 1.10. After 5 Reflexes cards the 0.8 second cooldown of Psycho Cut at level 1 becomes 0.53 seconds.
• Only the move group in your active slot fires, and every move in the group keeps its own cooldown timer. A bond, which a rift win gives you, fuses loose moves into one group.
• Weather can boost or weaken Psychic moves: see the weather guide.
