Race Details
Absesse
The ultimate assassin, the Absesse race is built for stealth and devastating burst damage. It possesses a unique passive allowing it to move at full speed while crouching and has innate bonuses to both stealth and speed. Critically, its "Last Stand" passive negates a lethal hit once every 60 seconds, providing an incredible safety net for aggressive plays. The Absesse dictates the start of any fight, often crippling an opponent before they can react.
Kaoshin
A master of utility and global mobility. The Kaoshin's signature "Gate" spell allows it to teleport anywhere on the world map, making it invaluable for objectives and team support. In combat, it possesses a passive chance to dodge incoming attacks, which is especially potent against projectiles. This combination of unmatched map control and elusiveness makes the Kaoshin a top-tier choice for any activity.
Dwarf
The undisputed king of Player vs. Environment (PVE) content and crafting. Dwarves benefit from a smaller hitbox, increased carrying capacity, and, most importantly, massive bonuses to enchanting. They enjoy cheaper enchanting costs and a doubled success chance, saving immense resources. Furthermore, they can wear any armor type, giving them surprising versatility and tankiness.
Orc
A pure PVP brawler that thrives in the heat of battle. As an Orc's health gets lower, it receives a powerful buff to both its health pool and damage output, making it incredibly dangerous when injured. Its abilities are focused on guardbreaking opponents, and it has access to a fearsome charge attack. The Orc is designed to break through defenses with relentless, overwhelming force.
Phantom
A strategic PVP-focused race that introduces the crippling "Anti-Heal" debuff, completely shutting down an opponent's health recovery. Phantoms also get an extra life and can turn invisible under certain conditions, making them incredibly difficult to track and defeat. They are the perfect counter to healing-reliant builds.
Nomad
An evasive duelist with supreme counter-play potential. The Nomad's key ability, "Flock," allows it to instantly escape any enemy combo, acting as a powerful defensive reset. Its counter-move, "Fade," not only stops an incoming attack but also debuffs the opponent's luck stat, punishing aggressive and predictable players.
Apex
The pinnacle of mobility, the Apex features an upgraded dash, a double jump, and faster climbing speed. Its "Enrage" ability acts as a powerful steroid, boosting its own damage while simultaneously making afflicted enemies take more damage from all sources, making it a great asset for team fights in both PVP and PVE.
Terran
A fantastic and straightforward all-rounder with a unique scaling mechanic. Terrans accumulate "Bonds" over time, which passively increase their swing speed and weapon damage. A Bond can be sacrificed to gain temporary immunity from being knocked down or executed, providing a crucial defensive clutch.
Novakid
Its primary value comes from complete immunity to the negative environmental effects in the Tundra and Volcano zones, making it the best for farming materials there.
Cactorian
Built around a damage reflection ability. While potent against unprepared foes, experienced players can often avoid it, limiting its use.
Hytlotl
Offers a guaranteed weapon enchantment proc when attacking electrocuted enemies, requiring a specific setup to be effective.
Lihzahrd
A defensive choice with passive resistances to both poison damage and armor penetration, making it a solid counter-pick to specific builds.
Elf
Considered a decent pick specifically for players focusing on mage builds and spellcasting.
Avian
A fun race with high natural mobility and an aerial theme, but its core racial abilities lack the impact of higher-tier options.
Florian
Retains a useful 10% flat damage bonus, but its signature beam attack was nerfed, lowering its overall viability.
Goblin
By far the weakest race in combat. Its entire purpose is to utilize its unique passives to farm Silver currency more efficiently than any other race.
Race Selection Recommendations
For the Dedicated PVP Player
Top Choices: Orc or Phantom. Choose Orc for a relentlessly aggressive, brawling style. Choose Phantom for a strategic, control-oriented style that shuts down enemy healers. Nomad is an excellent alternative for a high-skill, evasive duelist.
For the PVE & Crafting Enthusiast
Top Choice: Dwarf. If your goal is to conquer dungeons and craft the best gear, the Dwarf's unparalleled enchanting bonuses are essential, saving you countless hours and resources. Kaoshin is a strong alternative for exploration and mobility.
For New Players or All-Rounders
Top Choices: Terran or Kaoshin. Terran is a strong, straightforward choice that is effective everywhere without being complex. Kaoshin's high mobility and survivability make it very forgiving and fun for learning the game. Absesse is a great third option for its simple, high-damage gameplay.
For the Dedicated Resource Farmer
For Silver Currency: Goblin. Despite its combat weakness, its passives are unmatched for farming Silver.
For Zone-Specific Materials: Novakid. Its immunity to harsh environments in the Tundra and Volcano makes it the only logical choice for farming in those areas.
