Choosing the right race in The Forge can completely change how fast you progress, how efficiently you mine, and how easily you survive tough enemies.
Every race comes with unique traits that affect mobility, combat, stamina, damage, and even economy.
Some races turn you into a late-game powerhouse, while others are only good for beginners.
After testing each race extensively and comparing their overall usefulness, we’ve created the complete tier list for all races in The Forge, along with their traits and rarity.
Use this list to reroll smarter and build your character around the strongest passives.

The Human race can get you started, but rerolling as soon as possible is highly recommended.
Final Thoughts
Whether you prefer raw damage, high mobility, tank builds, or economic perks, races shape your entire gameplay in The Forge.
If possible, aim for Angel or Demon, as they are meta-defining.
A-tier races offer strong alternatives, while lower-tier races are mostly stepping stones until you reroll something better.
