The Forge Races Tier List

Choosing the right race in The Forge is crucial, as the pace of your Forging journey depends entirely on it. The perfect race in this game can boost your mobility, amplify damage, or even provide you with economic advantages. But with so many races, choosing the right one as per your gameplay style can get tricky sometimes. Therefore, to save your time, we have ranked every race in The Forge in terms of power and useful traits. So, without further ado, dive right in.

Complete The Forge Race Tier List

There are a total of 13 races in the Forge, where each one boasts unique traits, and with better traits, the rarity increases as well. So the top-performing races, Angel and Demon, have the lowest drop rate and belong to the top due to their effectiveness in The Forge.

As we go down the list, the races become less valuable and come with more drawbacks than utility. Yet, as a beginner, you may start the forging journey with such races in the mid or lower tiers and slowly work your way up to the top ones. So, here is a ranked tier list for all the races in The Forge:

Tier	Race
S Tier	Angel, Demon
A Tier	Dragonborn, Minotaur, Golem, Goblin
B Tier	Shadow, Undead
C Tier	Orc, Dwarf
D Tier	Elf, Zombie
F Tier	Human

S Tier Races in The Forge

The S-tier races dominate The Forge all thanks to their unmatched mobility, huge damage output and lifesaving passives. These combinations can complement any build. With such powerful traits, these races can outperform most other races both in surviving tough encounters and mining better ores.

Race	Traits	Rarity
Angel	Wings: -20% Dash Cooldown, +50% Dash Distance, +15% Longer Dash IFrame, +20% Movement Speed, +25% Jump Boost, +20% Stamina Mighty Clover: +25% Luck Boost. Smite: 50% chance to call Smite on hit for 30% physical damage Holy Hand: infinite stamina while below 20% health	Mythical (0.5%)
Demon	Demonic Powers: +20% Movement Speed, +20% Attack Speed, +20% Physical Damage, +20% stronger fire damage, +30% Height, +10% Width and Depth Backfire: 25% chance to burn enemy when damage is taken Cursed Aura: deals 10% weapon damage per second Devil’s Finger: dash teleport with hellfire particles and 20% chance to create a fire circle dealing 45% weapon damage per second for 3 seconds	Mythical (0.5%)

A Tier Races in The Forge

The A-tier races are strong and reliable picks that excel in most of the builds. While they might not be as overpowering as the S-tier ones, they can provide huge stat boosts, damage buffs, and defensive value that stays consistent throughout the game.

Race	Traits	Rarity
Dragonborn	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	Legendary (1.5%)
Minotaur	Beast: +20% Health, -10% Movement Speed, -10% Stamina, +10% Height, +20% Width and Depth Bull’s Fury: While under 50% Health, activate Rage Mode which increases movement speed and physical damage by 30%	Legendary (1.75%)
Golem	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%	Legendary (1.25%)
Goblin	Tiny: -15% Health, -15% Size Sneaky: +15% Movement Speed, +10% Attack Speed with daggers Bargain: 12% discount when shopping	Rare (10.5%)

B Tier Races in The Forge

The B-tier races are situational but still powerful with the proper playstyle. They can provide solid buffs; however, some of their drawbacks prevent them from reaching the better tiers.

Race	Traits	Rarity
Shadow	Shadow Pact: +15% Movement Speed, +10% Attack Speed, +10% Stamina, +5% Physical Damage, -10% Health Phantom Step: On taking damage, 15% chance to turn into a shadow to dodge the attack	Epic (6%)
Undead	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	Rare (9%)

C Tier Races in The Forge

Races in the C-tier work in beginner builds and provide you with a decent stat boost. These are generally outperformed when you unlock higher-tier races later in the game. These races can function well in the early stages, but are not optimal for sticking to.

Race	Traits	Rarity
Orc	Heavy: -10% Stamina, -10% Movement Speed Muscular: +10% Physical Damage, +15% Health, +10% Size	Rare (8%)
Dwarf	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	Epic (7%)

D Tier Races in The Forge

The races in the D-tier also offer a decent early game value; however, they quickly get overshadowed by the races in the upper ranks. The bonuses offered by these races are mild and inconsistent with time as well. Therefore, you may not have a good time even with the best gear.

Race	Traits	Rarity
Elf	Superior Genes: +15% Stamina and +5% Height Glorious: +7% Luck Boost	Uncommon (15%)
Zombie	Rotten: -25% Health Mutated Genes: +2% health regeneration every 5 seconds Absorb: 15% chance to convert incoming damage to health	Uncommon (14%)

F Tier Races in The Forge

Finally, the F-tier is reserved for the weakest race in the game, the one that you start with, that is, Human. This can seem usable, but it is recommended that you quickly reroll into something else before settling down.

Race	Traits	Rarity
Human	Blessed: +3% Luck and +3% Extra XP	Common (25%)
