The perfect race for your journey in The Forge on Roblox can vary depending on your build goals—whether you’re chasing damage ratios or progression speed. While higher rarity races usually come with higher advantages, exceptions exist. This The Forge race tier list will help you sort through which races stand out in the game.
Ranking the Best Races in The Forge
When diving into The Forge, S-Tier races like Angel and Archangel shine in late-game stages due to substantial Luck bonuses, while Demon and Archangel excel in PVE settings as they offer the highest DPS. If you’re more about progression boosts, Goblin is your race for discounted Pickaxes and improved Dwarf mining. Here’s a tier breakdown for clarity:
- S-Tier: Best overall choices
- A-Tier: Good alternatives
- B-Tier: Adequate picks for beginners
- C-Tier: Underwhelming but usable
- D-Tier: Avoid these races entirely
Rarity/Color:
- Common (Starting or 25%)
- Uncommon (13.75% to 14%)
- Rare (8% to 10.4%)
- Epic (4% to 5%)
- Legendary (1.25% to 1.75%)
- Mythical (0.5%)
