Ranking Tiers Explained

• S Tier: Demon and Angel are the best races you can have in The Forge, with OP passives and stat buffs. Dwarf and Goblin are solid when saved in 2nd/3rd slots, as they give you useful buffs for farming.
• A Tier: Very good races that you can stick with while rerolling, but they aren’t as OP as Angel or Demon.
• B Tier: Decent races that work well until you can get one of the Legendary/Mythic races.
• C Tier: Weak races that aren’t that strong stat/passive-wise.

The tier list above showcases the overall power ranking of all races in The Forge Roblox experience. Generally, higher-rarity races will be better than the low-rarity ones, as they provide bigger stat boosts. Also, combat stats are the most valuable, as battling enemies is one of the most important parts of gameplay. For more details about the ranking factors, race passives, and other details, see the sections below.

Tier List Ranking Notes

• Rarity: Races of higher rarity are usually better, with higher stat boosts and better passives.
• Combat vs Farming Stats: Combat stats will usually have a bigger effect on your gameplay early on, and races that have higher combat stat boosts should be your top choice. However, once you start getting the best gear and the best runes, Angel will become by far the best.
• Race Slots: You’ll have multiple slots for storing races, so switch them out depending on what your current loadout needs the most. Dwarf and Goblin are excellent when saved in another slot, as you can switch to them when buying items or grinding ores.
• Debuffs: Lower-rarity races also apply debuffs to certain stats, and depending on which stat they debuff, they can be much worse than they seem.

How to Get Race Rerolls in The Forge
