Races Guide
Every race, ranked and explained
This page covers all 9 Broken Blade races, their effects, rarity chances, and how they fit into your build. Use it to decide which race to keep, which to reroll, and what to chase at endgame.
Updated: June 10, 2026
Recommended Route
Races in Broken Blade are permanent character modifiers that change your stats while equipped. A good race can add damage, health, crit chance, crit damage, life steal, attack speed, or weapon-type bonuses. Since reroll items take time to farm, knowing which races are worth keeping — and which are worth burning another reroll on — saves you a lot of midgame frustration. This page tracks all 9 races, their documented effects, tier rankings, and practical keep-or-reroll advice for every playstyle.

Race Tier Breakdown
This ranking is based on practical progression value, damage scaling, weapon synergy, and how likely each race is to stay useful as your account improves.
S Tier
Aesir
The top chase race. Adds damage, crit chance, crit damage, and attack speed without forcing a specific weapon type.
A Tier
Elf, Nether, Vanir
Excellent Legendary races. Pick the one that matches your Sword, Buster, or Katana weapon scaling.
B Tier
Frost, Flame
Strong Epic stopping points. Realistic targets before you can farm rerolls consistently.
C Tier
Giant, Dwarves
Useful early survivability, but lose value once damage checks and faster farming become more important.
D Tier
Human
Starter value only. Reroll once you have a stable reroll source.
How Broken Blade Races Work
Races are permanent character modifiers
Unlike consumable buffs, your race stays equipped until you use a Race Reroll item to replace it. The bonuses from your race affect your stats globally, which means race choice influences your entire build direction.
Race rerolling unlocks at Level 500
You cannot change your race before reaching Level 500. Once you hit that threshold, you can use Race Reroll items to roll for a new race. The system works like a gacha — you spend a reroll, get a random race, and decide whether to keep it or roll again.
Farm Nivaron Boss for more rerolls
Race Reroll items drop from Nivaron Boss, which is the main repeatable source. You can also trade with other players for rerolls, but building a reliable Nivaron farming route is the most sustainable approach.
Races exist across 6 rarity tiers
There are 6 rarity tiers: Common (47.60%), Uncommon (15.87%), Rare (15.87%), Epic (7.93%), Legendary (0.79%–3.17%), and Mythical (0.03%). Higher rarity does not always mean better for your build — a weapon-matching Legendary can outperform a generic Mythical in some scenarios.
Keep or Reroll? Decision Guide
Keep Aesir in almost every case
Aesir is the strongest universal chase race. Its combination of damage, crit chance, crit damage, and attack speed works with any build. The only reason to reroll it would be a future patch that changes its bonuses.
Keep weapon-matching Legendaries
Vanir (Katana), Nether (Buster), and Elf (Sword) are excellent keeps if they match your current or planned weapon. Do not judge a Legendary by rarity alone — judge it by whether your build can use the weapon-type damage bonus.
View weapons guideStop on Flame or Frost for midgame
If you are still progressing through islands and unlocking content, Flame and Frost are practical stopping points. Flame gives damage and health, Frost gives damage and damage reduction. Both are better than burning rerolls trying to chase Aesir immediately.
Reroll Human and Dwarves
Human is strictly starter-only — +10% Health is the weakest bonus in the game. Dwarves (+30% Health) is better but still outclassed by almost every other race. Replace both as soon as you have spare rerolls.
Never burn rerolls without a plan
A common mistake is using every Race Reroll immediately. Before rerolling, decide what result you would actually keep. If the only acceptable answer is Aesir, wait until you have enough rerolls to handle bad luck.
Best Race Picks by Build Type
If you care more about your weapon and playstyle than raw rarity, use these pairings to find the best race for your build.
Best all-around endgame build
You want the strongest universal DPS race that works with any weapon and any content.
Best Pick: Aesir
Backup Pick: Flame
Aesir is the clear winner for endgame. Flame is the practical midgame substitute.
Best Katana build
You use Katana weapons and want a race that amplifies their damage output.
Best Pick: Vanir
Backup Pick: Frost
Vanir is the direct Katana-specialized Legendary. Frost is a safe Epic fallback.
Best Buster build
You use Buster weapons or Dragon Slayer and want burst damage synergy.
Best Pick: Nether
Backup Pick: Frost
Nether adds +25% Buster Damage on top of +75% general damage. Excellent for burst builds.
Best Sword build
You use Sword weapons like Nameless Blade and want Sword-specific scaling.
Best Pick: Elf
Backup Pick: Flame
Elf is the direct Sword-focused Legendary. Flame is a strong Epic alternative.
Best beginner / safe progression
You are still leveling, clearing normal mobs, and want a reliable race without chasing premium rarities.
Best Pick: Flame
Backup Pick: Frost
Flame gives simple damage + health. Frost adds damage reduction for safer bossing.
FAQ
What is the best race in Broken Blade?
Aesir (Mythical) is the best overall race with +75% Damage, +10% Crit Chance, +100% Crit Damage, and +5% Attack Speed. For non-Mythical rolls, Vanir (Katana), Nether (Buster), and Elf (Sword) are excellent if they match your weapon type.
See the full tier listWhen can I reroll my race in Broken Blade?
Race rerolling unlocks at Level 500+. You need a Race Reroll item, which you can obtain by farming the Nivaron Boss or trading with other players.
How do I get more Race Reroll items?
The most reliable source is farming the Nivaron Boss. You can also trade with other players for rerolls. Avoid wasting rerolls before you know your weapon plan.
Check active codes for free itemsShould beginners reroll until they get Aesir?
No. Aesir is extremely rare (0.03%). Beginners should stop on a useful Epic race like Flame or Frost, or a Legendary that matches their weapon. Chase Aesir later when you can farm rerolls consistently.
Is Flame or Frost better?
Flame (+50% Damage, +50% Health) is better for general progression. Frost (+50% Damage, +20% Damage Reduction) is better when boss safety matters. Both are excellent Epic stopping points.
Which Legendary race should I keep?
Keep the Legendary that matches your weapon type: Vanir for Katana, Nether for Buster, Elf for Sword. A Legendary attached to the wrong weapon can feel weaker than a well-matched Epic.
Should I keep Giant?
Keep Giant if survivability is your main problem. Reroll it once farming speed and damage become more important. Giant's +10% Damage Reduction and +5% Life Steal are useful early but do not scale well.
Are race chances affected by updates?
Yes. Broken Blade is a live Roblox game, so race effects and rates can change after major updates. Always re-check data after patches.
