In this comprehensive The Forge: Best Races Tier List, we rank every race in The Forge from mythic standouts to common starters based on combat prowess, mining efficiency, forging boosts, exploration utility, and overall progression impact. Whether you’re rerolling for The Forge race rerolls to snag a Demon’s hellfire DPS or Angel’s infinite low-HP stamina, or deciding which Epic/Legendary fits your heavy weapon tank build, this tier list breaks down race stats, passives, debuffs, roll chances, and when to save races in your slots. We’ll also cover how races tie into core The Forge gameplay—mining ores, forging weapons/armor, enhancing with runes, defeating bosses, and unlocking islands—plus tips for beginners on when to stop rerolling and prioritize quests.
Core Gameplay And Why Races Matter
The Forge is a Roblox RPG blending skill-based mining, forging over 1,000 weapon variations, rune enhancements, boss combat, and island exploration. Races provide permanent buffs/debuffs to stats like health, movement speed, attack speed, mining damage, luck, and forging quality, directly shaping your early-game grind and late-game viability. Higher-rarity races (Legendary/Mythic) dominate due to stronger passives, but utility picks like Dwarf shine for dedicated miners.

Race Reroll Mechanics And Tips
Start with 5 free rerolls via the Wizard NPC; higher levels unlock extra race slots for swapping (e.g., Dwarf for mining, Demon for bosses). Use codes for more rerolls—stop if you hit A-tier or better early, as Mythics are 0.5% RNG. Debuffs like size/HP reductions hurt less with good gear/runes.
Beginner Progression With Races
Prioritize combat races (Demon/Angel) for Island 1 quests/enemies, switch to Dwarf/Goblin for ore grinding and forging. Heavy weapons pair with Golem/Minotaur for kiting; daggers love Goblin/Shadow speed.
Advanced Builds And Meta Shifts
Late-game, Angel’s luck/stamina edges out for rune drops/bosses; Demon dominates PvE DPS. Watch for updates—new islands/bosses could buff mining races.
