Updated on December 26, 2025: Added the three new races Vampire, Felynx, and Archangel from the Island 3 update and re-ranked the tier list. Also added a new method to get Race Rerolls.
The best Race in The Forge on Roblox really hinges on your goals—are you chasing damage, or perhaps progression boosts? Generally, rarer races tend to pack a more powerful punch, but there are exceptions. This The Forge race tier list will help you identify the top choices.
The Forge Best Race Ranked
When it comes to high-stakes scenarios, the Archangel and Angel races are game-changers, especially for late-game scenarios where a Luck bonus can make all the difference. For PVE, lean towards Demon or Archangel for insane DPS. If you’re eyeing progression, Goblin stands out with its pickaxe discounts and enhanced dwarf mining speed. Here’s a rundown: S-Tier signifies the best, A-Tier offers solid choices, and B-Tier provides decent options for newcomers. C-Tier races might still work, but D-Tier is best avoided altogether. Let’s break down the ranks further.
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%)
- Relic (0.1%)
