When Should You Reroll Your Race?

Race Spins are an extremely valuable resource obtained from active promo codes (like OCTOBER) and high-level Guild Raid drops. Follow these guidelines:

  • Never reroll away from Nightborn or Draconic: With only a 2-3% roll rate, keeping a Legendary race guarantees endgame supremacy.
  • Keep High Elf if playing Mage or Cleric: The 10% Mana reduction prevents spell lockouts in long boss battles.
  • Reroll Human once you enter Act 2: While the 10% bonus Knowledge helps early level progression, Human provides no combat stat scaling in Torment mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

What criteria determine race placement on the Tier List?▼

Racial rankings evaluate passive combat multipliers, defensive cheat-death mechanics, utility perks like dark vision or mana sustain, and synergy versatility across all eighteen Super Classes, balanced against each bloodline's spin probability and accessibility for free-to-play accounts. Bloodlines that offer both offensive multipliers and defensive cheat-death passives consistently claim top rankings.

Why is the Human race placed in the lowest F-Tier?▼

Human has a 48% drop rate and offers zero innate stat multipliers, passive abilities, or elemental resistances. It functions purely as a starter baseline that players are intended to reroll at the Goblin Merchant as soon as possible with starter codes.

Is rolling for S-Tier Legendary races required to beat Act 2?▼

Rolling Legendary races is not required to complete Act 2 or progress into early Torment levels. Solid A-Tier lineages like Elf, Orc, and Felis provide more than enough combat potency to conquer all standard dungeon bosses without spending Robux. Player mastery of turn mechanics and positioning remains far more decisive than raw gacha luck.

How does Dullahan rank compared to Orc for frontline tanking?▼

Dullahan edges out Orc in S-Tier for dedicated tanking because its turn-one stun immunity and raw armor scaling provide consistent mitigation, whereas Orc relies on a one-time cheat-death trigger when lethal damage occurs during dangerous dungeon encounters. Both represent elite tanking choices, but Dullahan offers superior baseline consistency against sustained damage.
