Choosing the right race in Roblox Nethros can make a huge difference in both PvE and PvP. Your race determines your Fated Virtue, which gives defensive bonuses like reduced knockdown penalties or shields when your block breaks.
Since you can’t change your race without rerolling, it’s important to pick wisely from the start. Here’s a detailed ranking of all races from S-tier down to B-tier, including their pros, cons, and when they’re worth picking.
Nethros Race Tier List
S Tier – Top Choices for PvP & PvE
Taurin
-
Strengths: Extremely defensive. Knockdowns don’t reset recovery time, and parries don’t damage posture. This prevents constant stun-locks.
-
Why Pick: Ideal for beginners and PvP players who want a reliable defensive race. S tier for safety and consistency.
Geonite
-
Strengths: Tanky with a shield that triggers for 3 seconds when your block is broken. Provides a buffer in tough fights.
-
Why Pick: Great for both PvE and PvP. Perfect if you want a defensive, survival-focused build.
A Tier – Solid Picks
Primalis
-
Strengths: Advanced dash for mobility and attacks that apply bleed when maintaining momentum.
-
Why Pick: Excellent for damage over time and high mobility, though it requires skill to maintain momentum for maximum effect.
Draconic
-
Strengths: Fire-themed, reducing incoming flame damage by 10% and increasing fire attack damage.
-
Why Pick: Perfect if your build focuses on fire damage, but less universal for other builds.
Weaver
-
Strengths: Increased climbing height, faster wall runs, and poison on critical hits.
-
Why Pick: Great for exploration and PvE farming, though less impactful in PvP.
Seraphim (Rare: 1.6% chance)
-
Strengths: Starts with mana without completing a quest and can see enemy HP.
-
Why Pick: Useful for certain PvE setups but niche in general play.
B Tier – Situational or Weak Picks
Ashkin
-
Strengths: Reduces fire damage taken.
-
Weakness: Very situational; only useful against fire-heavy enemies.
Human
-
Strengths: Cooldowns reset when HP drops below 15%.
-
Weakness: While the effect can save you occasionally, humans are generally outclassed by other races for consistent performance.
For new players or those re-rolling, Taurin and Geonite are the safest bets for both PvP and PvE. They provide survivability and defensive consistency that other races can’t match.
If you’re aiming for more offensive or niche playstyles, Primalis, Draconic, or Weaver can be excellent picks depending on your build.
Rare races like Seraphim offer unique advantages but are less practical for everyday play. Choosing the right race from the start can make or break your Nethros experience, so plan wisely before committing.
