The best Race in The Forge Roblox depends on what you need for your build whether it’s more damage or progression boosters. In general, the higher rarity races are better but there are some exceptions. That’s why this The Forge race tier list will guide you through the best ones.
The Forge Best Race Ranked
In general the best Race in The Forge is the Angel and the Demon because they give you the best DPS/Mobility in the game. If you want to focus on progression boosters then the Dwarf is the fastest at mining and Human has an EXP boost. Otherwise, follow this tier list and I’ll explain the rankings for all races individually below.

S-Tier Races
| S-Tier Races | Why S-Tier | Race Abilities |
|---|---|---|
![]() Angel Mythical |
• Angel is the best defensive race in the game focused around buffing dashes • They make it so you do them more often and they have a longer invulnerability window while boosting Stamina • The luck boost is great for farming and you can get a little DPS boost with Smite but it’s not as high as the Demon’s damage boost |
Wings: -20% Dash Cooldown +50% Dash Distance +15% Longer Dash IFrame +20% Movement Speed +25% Jump Boost +20% Stamina. Mighty Clover: +50% Luck Boost. Smite: 50% chance to call upon Smite on-hit for 30% of physical damage. Holy Hand: Have infinite stamina while below 20% health. |
![]() Demon Mythical |
• Demon is the best DPS race in the game focused on dealing high physical and fire damage • Demon’s scale with weapon damage thanks to their passives and Devil’s Finger + Cursed Aura • They also boost your Fire damage so the best rune is Flaming Spark • The flame damage buff also buffs your Backfire • Overall this is the best race if you want to deal the most damage |
Demonic Powers: +20% Movement Speed +20% Attack Speed +20% Physical Damage +20% Stronger Fire Damage 30% Height +10% Width & Depth Backfire: 25% chance to burn the enemy when damage is taken. Cursed Aura: While in combat have a small area around you that deals 10% damage of your weapon per second. Devil’s Finger: When you dash, teleport with hellfire particles and have 20% chance to create a hellfire circle dealing 45% of your weapon damage per second for 3 seconds to enemies inside. |
![]() Golem Legendary |
• Golem is an alternative to Angel for the best defensive race in the game but instead of tanking with dashes, Golem tanks with HP • You’ll get both a higher HP pool and every second attack will do 25% less damage • This is best combined with Runes like Drain Edge and Chill Dust to keep your HP high and lower enemy attack speed |
Tank: +30% Health -10% Movement Speed +30% Size. Heavy Hitter: +15% Attack Speed with heavy weapons. Stone Heart: 50% chance to lower incoming damage by 25%. |
A-Tier Races
| A-Tier Races | Why A-Tier | Race Abilities |
|---|---|---|
![]() Dragonborn Legendary |
• Dragonborn is an offensive and defensive mix pulling more on the DPS side • You get a free physical damage boost and the Dragon’s Breath is more free DPS most of the time • The cool thing is that you don’t have to pay anything like the Shadow pays HP |
Durable Scales: +20% Max HP and +10% Height. Sharp Fangs: +12% Physical Damage. Dragon’s Breath: 40% chance to burn enemy and deal 30% of weapon’s damage per second for 3 seconds. |
![]() Dwarf Epic |
• Dwarf is the best progression race that you can combine with a lot of Miner Shards for farming ore • You should reroll race when you’re farming enemies or going for bosses though |
Heavy Short: -20% Height, -5% Movement Speed. Gifted Miner: +15% Mining Damage, +5% Better Forge. Critical Mining: 20% chance to deal +50% damage to rocks. |
![]() Shadow Epic |
• Shadow is a worse version of Dragonborn but it’s still a better DPS boost than the races below • You get some movement and stamina with a DPS boost from the attack speed and physical damage • You also get some HP value 15% of the time when you get hit |
Shadow Pact: +15% Movement Speed, +10% Attack Speed, +10% Stamina, +5% Physical Damage, -10% Health. Phantom Step: Upon taking damage, there is 15% chance to turn into a shadow to dodge the attack. |
B-Tier Races
| B-Tier Races | Why B-Tier | Race Abilities |
|---|---|---|
![]() Minotaur Legendary |
• Only good for Rage Mark and Rot Stitch builds that want to focus on dropping low and not taking any more damage • The Runes along with Bull’s Fury will give you a huge damage boost • That said, this is only good until you get races like Angel and Demon |
Beast: +20% Health -10% Movement Speed -10% Stamina +10% Height +20% Width & Depth Bull’s Fury: While under 50% Health, activate Rage Mode; increasing movement speed and physical damage by 30%. |
![]() Orc Rare |
• Similar to Shadow but I prefer Shadow since it has better mobility and can dodge attacks | Heavy: -10% Stamina, -10% Movement Speed. Muscular: +10% Physical Damage, +15% Health, +10% Size. |
![]() Zombie Uncommon |
• Actually has a place among a few builds that go for Drain Edge runes for crazy high dungeon sustain • Just make sure to stay out of combat for a bit if you take heavy damage to regen HP up with Mutated Genes |
Rotten: -25% Health. Mutated Genes: +2% health regeneration every 5 seconds. Absorb: 15% chance to convert incoming damage to health. |
C-Tier Races
| C-Tier Races | Why C-Tier | Race Abilities |
|---|---|---|
![]() Human Common |
• A boring race but you can technically use it for farming with that nice XP boost • I would just go for a more fun race instead |
Blessed: +3% Luck and +3% Extra XP. |
![]() Elf Uncommon |
• Angel is better for Luck chance but it’s hard to get so Elf is pretty good to switch to as a beginner for a nice Luck Bonus • Overall it’s not that worth it and a better race will serve you well |
Superior Genes: +15% Stamina and +5% Height. Glorious: +7% Luck Boost. |
D-Tier Races
| D-Tier Races | Why D-Tier | Race Abilities |
|---|---|---|
![]() Goblin Rare |
• Similar to Elf in that it can get you a nice boost when shopping but is otherwise useless | Tiny: -15% Health, -15% Size. Sneaky: +15% Movement Speed, +10% Attack Speed with daggers. Bargain: 12% discount when shopping. |
![]() Undead Rare |
• IMO the worst race in the game since you don’t want to be randomly taking damage for the reflect • Plus, that HP regen has such a long cooldown that it’s unreliable |
Fragile Bones: -12% Health. Sharp Surface: Reflect 10% of the damage taken. Second Chance: Refills 50% of health when health is under 10%, every 5 minutes. |
How to Reroll Race in The Forge

You can get your race from the Wizard NPC at his tower. To reach it, go toward the Cave entrance and make a left when you’re near it. Continue down the road passing Tomo the Explorist and you’ll reach the Wizard Tower. Go inside and talk to the Wizard and you can then spin for races via the Gacha system (See odds above).
