I watched a fresh account fizzle through Endless Tower because of a single bad race roll. My heart sank as loot I could have had slipped past my party. I closed the window, made a call, and rebuilt a better plan.
I saw a Lucifer solo-clear on stream. Iron Soul Dungeon Tier List – Best Races

When I grade races here I weight DPS more heavily, but I call out the mobility, farming value and defensive offsets that matter when you solo floors or farm ores. You should be able to scan the table, pick a candidate, and decide whether to chase rerolls or hold onto your shards.
What is the best race in Iron Soul Dungeon?
I’ll be blunt: Lucifer and Demon rule the meta. Lucifer is a sledgehammer among pocket knives, delivering raw numbers, Luck and sustain. Demon trades a sliver of raw damage for cooldown reduction and movement that helps you weave out of boss telegraphs; it feels like a cleaner, faster playstyle.
Are Mythic races worth it?
Yes—if you can get them and invest. Mythics like Lucifer give you multipliers across Attack, Skill Damage and Luck that change how you approach builds. But they’re scarce and seasonal: missing a seasonal drop can sting, so the fear of loss is real. Many players supplement with YouTube guides, Reddit theorycraft threads and Discord farming groups to time their reroll spends.
How can I get more race rerolls in Iron Soul Dungeon?
I catalogue the ways I chase rerolls so you don’t waste resources: Codes, Season Store/Grocery/Bond Shop, Lucky Spin, Battle Pass, Robux purchases, and Index Quests. Season Vouchers drop from Endless Tower floors. If you buy via Robux, note prices are listed in USD (for example a small pack might be $5, ≈€4.63) and you should treat those buys like insurance—not a shortcut.
S-Tier Races
| Race | Ranking Notes | Race Abilities (At 3 Stars) |
|---|---|---|
| Lucifer | • The best overall race since it has racial boosts to every aspect of gameplay along with the best DPS• You also get a second-best boost to drop chance with Luck, solid mobility and overall great defenses• It’ll be really hard to get it to 3-Stars since it’s a Mythic but once you do you’re set | Attack +40%Crit Rate +30%Skill Damage +60%Luck +100%Move Speed +60%Health +40% |
| Demon | • Very close to Lucifer since you get a boost to pretty much everything but on a slightly lower scale• Your DPS is still top-tier but you’re trading raw skill damage for CD reduction• That said, Demon also has better mobility than Lucifer but no HP boost | Attack +24%Crit Rate +12%Crit Damage +24%Skill Damage +24%Cooldown Reduction -24%Move Speed +48%Dash Distance +60% |
A-Tier Races
| Race | Ranking Notes | Race Abilities (At 3 Stars) |
|---|---|---|
| Fairy | • Both Fairy and Sorcerer are pretty much the same race stat-wise focusing on maximizing DPS• Once you stack up crit you’ll be dealing massive burst damage, especially when you take into account how often you’ll do ULTs• That said both races suffer from a lack of mobility and any viable defenses so use every Dash wisely | Crit Rate +22%Crit Damage +32%Skill Damage +22%Ultimate Charge Rate +42% |
| Sorcerer | • Same as Fairy | Crit Rate +20%Crit Damage +30%Skill Damage +20%Ultimate Charge Rate +40% |
B-Tier Races
| Race | Ranking Notes | Race Abilities (At 3 Stars) |
|---|---|---|
| Night Elf | • Night Elf is basically a weaker version of Lucifer which means it’s still really good• You’ll do lower damage than Fairy and Sorcerer but you have more defenses• Plus you have the highest Luck boost in the game which is really good for farming/drop chance• If you want to farm ore, always go for Night Elf | Attack +20%Crit Damage +20%Skill Damage +20%Luck +200%Move Speed +40%Health +30% |
| Angel | • Angel is a mix of damage and defenses where you won’t do top-tier damage but you’re close to it• That said, you have the best defensive combo in the game with the chunky HP boost and the mobility bonuses | Attack +20%Crit Rate +10%Crit Damage +20%Ultimate Charge Rate +20%Move Speed +40%Dash Distance +60%Health +30% |
| VampireLimited to Current SeasonUnobtainable afterwards | • Vampire is the most mobile race in the game with the highest move speed and dash distance• If you had Goblin’s dash CD reduction you’d be unkillable• Still, your DPS is not bad as well since you’re getting the Fairy/Sorcerer treatment for crit but without other base damage boosts you’re slightly behind them in terms of damage | Crit Rate +20%Crit Damage +24%Move Speed +100%Dash Distance +200% |
C-Tier Races
| Race | Ranking Notes | Race Abilities (At 3 Stars) |
|---|---|---|
| Dragonkin | • The best C-Tier race and an excellent beginner pick• Once you get some crit chance you’ll be doing excellent mid-game numbers if you focus on skills• Plus you have some mobility with the dash distance | Crit Damage +20%Skill Damage +20%Dash Distance +40% |
| Orc | • Just a solid start to the game with the two starts that matter most as you learn dungeon farming | Attack +10%Health +20% |
| Undead | • Decent offensive and defensive stats to start with that you want to replace later on as you get more race rerolls | Skill Damage +20%Cooldown Reduction -16%Health +20% |
| Human | • A weaker version of Orc but still a good starter | Attack +10% |
D-Tier Races
| Race | Ranking Notes | Race Abilities (At 3 Stars) |
|---|---|---|
| Goblin | • The dash CD reduction is good but it’s not worth it to stick with Goblin since you’ll be doing the worst DPS in the game | Move Speed +20%Dash Cooldown Reduction -40% |
I watched a carry group trade a reroll for an Ore haul. How to Get Race Rerolls in Iron Soul Dungeon
Here are the reliable sources I use when I farm rerolls: Codes, Season Store/Grocery/Bond Shop, Lucky Spin, Battle Pass, Robux purchases, and Index Quest rewards. Season Vouchers drop from Endless Tower floors; that’s where steady grinding meets the rare chance to swing your roster. I track drops with a simple spreadsheet and community trackers on Reddit and Discord to avoid wasting spins.

If you want a single rule of thumb from my runs: prioritize rerolls for Mythics that change your playstyle (Lucifer, Demon), chase Legendaries only if they fill a gap (mobility or defense), and use community resources—YouTube creators, Reddit theorycrafters, and Moyens I/O posts—to time your spending. Running Fairy without mobility is a tightrope over a pit.
