Complete Race Breakdown (June 2026)
Common Races
Human (25% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Blessed: +3% Luck and +3% Experience
Human serves as the default starting race for all players. While it offers basic bonuses to luck and experience gain, most players quickly reroll away from Human due to its limited combat and utility value. However, for absolute beginners, the experience boost can help accelerate early progression slightly.
Uncommon Races
Elf (14% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Glorious: +7% Luck
- Superior Genes: +15% Stamina and +5% Height
Elf focuses on mobility and luck, making it decent for exploration and resource gathering. The stamina boost helps with longer exploration sessions, while the increased luck can slightly improve drop rates. However, it lacks significant combat advantages, making it less ideal for players focused on combat progression.
Zombie (13.75% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Mutated Genes: +2% Health Regeneration every 5 seconds
- Rotten: -25% Max Health
- Absorb: 15% chance to convert incoming damage to health
Zombie is a sustain-focused race with a unique health regeneration mechanic. While the -25% max health penalty is significant, the combination of passive regeneration and damage-to-health conversion can make Zombie surprisingly durable in prolonged fights. This race requires careful playstyle adaptation due to the reduced health pool.
Rare Races
Goblin (10.4% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Sneaky: +15% Movement Speed and +10% Dagger Attack Speed
- Tiny: -15% Health and -15% Size
- Bargain: 12% discount when shopping
Goblin excels in speed and economic advantages. The movement speed boost makes exploration and evasion more effective, while the shop discount provides significant long-term savings. However, the reduced health and size make Goblin vulnerable in direct combat. This race is ideal for players who prioritize mobility and resource management.
Undead (9% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Second Chance: Refills 50% HP when dropping below 10% HP (5-minute cooldown)
- Fragile Bones: -12% Health
- Sharp Surface: Reflects 10% incoming damage
Undead offers incredible survivability through its Second Chance ability, essentially providing a free life every 5 minutes. The damage reflection adds extra defensive value, though the reduced health requires careful positioning. This race shines in boss fights and challenging content where survival is crucial.
Orc (8% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Muscular: +10% Physical Damage, +15% Health, +10% Size
- Heavy: -10% Stamina and -10% Movement Speed
Orc is the quintessential tank race, offering substantial health and damage boosts at the cost of mobility. Perfect for melee-focused builds and players who prefer face-tanking enemies. The increased size makes Orc easier to hit but also more intimidating in PvP scenarios.
Epic Races
Dwarf (5% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Gifted Miner: +15% Mining Damage and +5% Better Forging
- Critical Mining: 20% chance to deal +50% extra damage to rocks
- Heavy Short: -20% Height and -5% Movement Speed
Dwarf is unequivocally the best race for mining-focused players. Every ability directly enhances resource gathering efficiency, making Dwarf invaluable for players focused on crafting and wealth accumulation. The movement penalty is negligible when mining, and the reduced height can actually be advantageous in certain areas.
Shadow (5% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Phantom Step: 15% chance to transform into a shadow and dodge an attack
- Shadow Pact: +10% Attack Speed, +15% Movement Speed, +5% Physical Damage, +10% Stamina, -10% Health
Shadow is the premier evasion-based race, offering excellent mobility and combat speed. The Phantom Step ability provides passive dodge chance, while Shadow Pact delivers well-rounded combat enhancements. This race excels for players who prefer agile, high-speed combat styles.
Vampire (4% Drop Chance) – NEW
Abilities:
- Bloodthirst: +15% Life Steal
- Blade Adept: +10% Damage Boost with Straight Swords
Vampire is one of the newest races added to The Forge, focusing on sustain and sword combat. The life steal ability provides excellent healing during combat, especially when combined with high-damage weapons. This race is perfect for players who prefer aggressive melee builds with self-sufficiency.
Legendary Races
Felynx (1.25% Drop Chance) – NEW
Abilities:
- Lightfooted: +25% Stamina Boost, +20% Movement Speed, -20% Dash Cooldown, +20% Dash Distance
- Cat Reflexes: 20% chance to parry the next attack
- Clawed Grip: +20% Attack Speed/Damage with Gauntlets
Felynx is another newly introduced race, specializing in speed and defensive capabilities. The combination of enhanced mobility, dash improvements, and parry chance makes Felynx incredibly versatile. Paired with gauntlet weapons, Felynx becomes a formidable combatant with excellent both offensive and defensive potential.
Dragonborn (1.25% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Sharp Fangs: +12% Physical Damage
- Dragon’s Breath: 40% chance to burn enemies for 30% weapon damage/second for 3 seconds
- Durable Scales: +20% Max Health and +10% Height
Dragonborn offers an excellent balance of offense and defense. The burn effect from Dragon’s Breath provides consistent damage-over-time, while the health boost increases survivability. This race is particularly effective against bosses and high-health enemies where the burn damage accumulates significantly.
Golem (1.25% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Heavy Hitter: +15% Attack Speed for heavy weapons
- Tank: +30% Health & Size, -10% Movement Speed
- Stone Heart: 50% chance to reduce incoming damage by 25%
Golem is the ultimate tank race, offering massive health and damage reduction. The Stone Heart ability provides reliable damage mitigation, making Golem nearly unkillable with proper gear. This race is perfect for players who enjoy absorbing damage and protecting teammates in group content.
Minotaur (1.75% Drop Chance)
Abilities:
- Bull’s Fury: Going below 50% HP triggers Rage Mode (+30% Speed & +30% Physical Damage)
- Beast: +10% Height, +20% Health, -10% Stamina, -10% Movement Speed, +20% Width & Depth
Minotaur is a high-risk, high-reward race that becomes more powerful when near death. The Rage Mode ability can turn the tide of difficult fights, though managing health below 50% requires skill and good timing. This race rewards aggressive playstyle and excellent combat awareness.
Mythical Races
Angel (0.5% Drop Chance)

- Holy Hand: Below 20% HP, gain infinite Stamina
- Wings: +50% Dash Distance, +15% iFrames, +20% Speed, +25% Jump Boost, +20% Stamina, -20% Dash Cooldown
- Smite: 50% chance to deal 30% Physical Damage on-hit
- Mighty Clover: +30% Luck
Angel is arguably the best mobility race in The Forge, offering unparalleled movement capabilities and utility. The combination of enhanced dashes, jumps, and infinite stamina at low health makes Angel incredibly versatile. The luck boost also provides valuable quality-of-life improvements for resource gathering.
Demon (0.5% Drop Chance)
