Human
A straightforward choice when extra health matters more than a specialist bonus.
- 5 additional max HP per prestige
The benefit depends on prestige; it does not add a damage multiplier.
Use in a build planA different way to survive.
Compare casting, summoning, survival and night-focused race effects before spending your next reroll.
8 entries
Goblin
Look here if your active weapon deals cast damage and you value frequent spell use.
- 20% luck
- 10% cast damage
- 10% shorter cast cooldowns
The damage and cooldown benefits serve casting rather than every weapon.
Use in a build planUnderling
A casting option that also supports recovery and fire-heavy encounters.
- 25% fire resistance
- 10% regeneration
- 15% cast damage
It does not offer Goblin’s cast cooldown reduction.
Use in a build planGemhead
Pair its role with a summoning loadout. Consult the in-game race panel for current units and values.
- Summon damage bonus
- Summon life bonus
Its specialist bonuses matter most when summons do the fighting.
Use in a build planSkeleton
Plan around avoiding hits; faster movement does not replace resistance.
- 10% speed
- 10% summon damage
- 10% less resistance
The speed and summon bonuses come with a defensive penalty.
Use in a build planHiveling
Compare it in the conditions where you actually farm, particularly the time of day.
- 10% resistance at night
- 10% less resistance by day
- 10% damage
- 10% lower attack speed
Daytime resistance and attack speed are the cost of its night-oriented benefits.
Use in a build planRat
Treat the proc as a bonus and keep using movement and healing.
- 5% chance to avoid an incoming hit
A random avoidance effect cannot be relied on for the next dangerous hit.
Use in a build planMushling
Leave stamina for your exit instead of spending it all on approaching an enemy.
- 10% regeneration
- 10% healing
- 10% lower stamina regeneration
More recovery is balanced by slower stamina recovery.
Use in a build planNo matches. Try a shorter name or choose All.
Spend rerolls with a build in mind.
The Stylist in the starting town provides the race reroll interface. Compare the race’s benefits and drawbacks against your current weapon and class before changing it. For a caster, cooldown behavior may matter as much as a damage bonus; for a summoner, your own resistance still matters even when your summons survive.
The comparisons above cover the race effects documented in the linked launch guides. Some race names and patched abilities differ between early recordings; consult the current Stylist panel before spending a rare reroll. Rarity labels alone do not tell you the chance of a reroll.
A random dodge is not a scheduled dodge.
Rat’s reported 5% avoidance chance does not guarantee that every twentieth hit is harmless. Keep using movement and healing. Similarly, a night bonus should be compared in nighttime conditions, and a health bonus tied to prestige should be evaluated at your own prestige.
