What is the Best Race for Combat in The Forge?
When it comes to combat in the Forge, if you can get either of the Mythic Races (Angel or Demon), you will be set for the entire game. However, the chances of getting them are extremely low, so I suggest going for the next best thing: the Dragonborn. The additional burn damage, as well as extra Physical Damage and Health, are really beneficial, especially at the start of the game.
Which Race is Best for Mining?
Dwarf is the best race for mining in The Forge, unless you're lucky and get Angel. That's the best race in general for a reason, as Angel is extremely useful with the +25% Luck Boost helping you get rare Ores. However, if you just want to get to your job in the Mines and ignore any and all combat, then go for the Dwarf. Not only does this race provide you with substantial benefits to mining, but also to forging weapons and armor. Dwarf gives you:
- +15% Mining Damage - Mine ores significantly faster
- +5% Better Forge - Higher quality weapon/armor crafts
- 20% Critical Mining - Bonus 50% damage to rocks
The Forge Race Tier List FAQ
Angel and Demon are some of the best races in the game overall, but the Angel is just slightly ahead because of the well-balanced movement speed, damage boosts, as well as a gratuitous Luck boost for mining. However, when it comes to overall best, the Archangel takes the top spot in the Forge, though it is difficult to get it.
Are the races assigned randomly in The Forge?
Yes, the races are gacha RNG based. If you land on a good race, you can keep it or spin again with Race Rerolls, which can be obtained using Robux or Forge codes.
How many races can you keep in The Forge?
There are three Race Slots for every player in The Forge. The first one is free; however, the remaining two can be unlocked for Robux, and after you reach a certain level.
Sadly no, that is a feature the devs talked about a bit, but it was not implemented in the World 3 update. You get Archangel the same way as the rest of the Races, through Rerolls at a much lower chance than the rest.
