In this Beyond Nen Tier List, I'll help you build the strongest possible character right from the start, so you don't end up wasting precious time and resources on a suboptimal build you'll regret later. If you're wondering which Race and Lineage you should pick, I've got you covered. So buckle up, and make sure to read this guide before jumping into character creation.
Beyond Nen Tier List
Your Beyond Nen build combines your race, lineage, Nen ability, and the stats and equipment you invest in along the way. My rankings here are based mostly on early access, and they consider how useful each option is in PvE and PvP, including its damage, survivability, mobility, and ease of use.
Something that helps you clear quests faster might offer less value in a duel, so read the explanations alongside each table before spending your rerolls. Keep in mind there's still a lot to learn about the game, as I didn't have much chance to test it during the previous early access. These are early rankings, and I’ll revise them as I test more builds and the developers adjust the balance.
Beyond Nen Race Tier List
Races provide passive bonuses that can complement your build without requiring another skill or mode to manage. The best race in Beyond Nen depends partly on where your damage comes from: Nen users benefit from different bonuses than players focused on weapons, while extra durability helps either approach.
My Beyond Nen Race Tier List weighs those bonuses against their real value in combat, with particular attention to damage and survivability. It goes without saying, but rarer Races are generally much, much stronger than lower-rarity ones.

Celestial and Cyborg are easily the two best races in Beyond Nen, although they excel at slightly different things. Celestial is the best all-rounder, offering a 5% bonus to Strength, Durability, Nen, Stamina, and Weapon stats, making it useful regardless of your build. Cyborg, on the other hand, is arguably even better for melee-focused builds thanks to its 10% Durability bonus and additional 5% Strength and Weapon boosts. Both are excellent for PvE and PvP, so there's really no reason to reroll either of them.
Rabbit and Cat are both solid A-tier alternatives, but for different reasons. Rabbit is particularly good for weapon-focused builds thanks to its 10% Weapon bonus, while Cat's 10% Movement Speed boost makes it great for mobility, positioning, and chasing down opponents in PvP. Both also provide a small Stamina bonus. Finally, Human sits alone in B-tier because it offers no additional stat bonuses whatsoever. However, keep in mind that races provide relatively modest buffs compared to other parts of your build, so I wouldn't recommend wasting all your rerolls chasing Celestial when you could be focusing on getting a better Lineage or Nen Ability instead.
Beyond Nen Lineage Tier List
Your lineage (or clan) adds inherited perks, passives, and abilities that can substantially impact your build. When comparing the best lineages in Beyond Nen, pay attention to how their modes work: a powerful buff can lose value if it lasts briefly, has a lengthy cooldown, or clashes with your Nen setup.

My Beyond Nen Lineage Tier List considers those trade-offs alongside permanent bonuses and usefulness during progression. And while some of the rarest are objectively the best in the game, there aren't any "one Lineage to rule them all" moments, and you'll find that some easier-to-roll Lineages can be equally useful.
Zoldyck, Kurta, and Netero lead S-tier with strong combinations of damage, mobility, and survivability. Freecss, Lucifer, Morrow, and Krueger are strong A-tier choices, offering useful progression bonuses, defensive tools, or powerful combat modes, but with more limitations in uptime or versatility.
Hazama and Hill sit in B tier because their parry and reflection effects offer more situational value. The remaining lineages share C tier provisionally, as their perks remain too poorly documented to recommend them over the established options.

And that's about it, really. This is all I currently have to say in my Beyond Nen Tier List. I know it's not much, but I can promise you this: I will be playing the game like crazy over the next couple of days and will keep updating the tier list as long as there's a reason to update it, whether it's something new I learn that gives me a fresh perspective on the game or some new content that gets released and needs to be added to the tier list.
Thanks for reading; I truly appreciate it, really! And if you play any other Roblox games, don't forget to check out our other Roblox guides and tier lists. We've got an entire ocean of them here at PGG, and believe me, that's not even an exaggeration. We write a lot. Like, a lot. Anyway, this is Nikola, over and out!
