The Archangel Race is currently one of the most powerful and rare races ever added to The Forge. With a mix of angelic mobility and demonic damage effects, this race is clearly designed for late-game players who want maximum performance in combat and movement.
If you are curious about how strong it really is and whether it’s worth chasing, this guide breaks everything down in a clear and simple way. Also check out our Roblox The Forge Beginner Guide for those interested and the Race Tier List.
What Is the Archangel Race in The Forge?
Archangel is a hybrid race, combining Angel and Demon traits into a single package. It has an extremely low 0.1% drop chance, making it one of the rarest races in the game. Because of this, many players spend massive amounts of Robux without ever getting it.
Despite the rarity, the reason players keep trying is simple: Archangel offers insane movement speed, strong passive damage, and powerful AoE effects that work well against bosses and mobs.
Archangel Race Passive Abilities Explained
The Archangel Race comes with multiple layered passives that affect mobility, damage, and luck.
Angelic Wings Buffs
These bonuses focus heavily on movement and stamina:
- 35% reduced dash cooldown
- 75% increased dash distance
- Longer dash iframe duration
- 25% bonus movement speed
- 25% jump boost
- 25% stamina increase
This makes Archangel one of the fastest races in the game. You can cross maps quickly and avoid enemy attacks with ease.
Demonic Power Buffs
The demon side boosts raw combat performance:
- 20% attack speed increase
- 20% damage increase
- Increased hitbox size (height, width, and depth)
These buffs make both light and heavy weapons hit harder and more consistently.
Mighty Clover (Luck Boost)
Archangel also inherits the Angel luck passive:
- 30% increased luck
This is extremely useful for forging, farming rare drops, and rolling gear.
Special Archangel Effects
Hellfire Dash Effect
When dashing, there is a 50% chance to summon a hellfire circle:
- Deals AoE damage to enemies inside
- Damage equals 45% of your weapon damage per second
- Lasts for 3 seconds
This effect scales directly with your weapon, making high-damage builds incredibly effective against bosses.
Archangel Smite
All attacks have a 33% chance to summon a beam of light from above:
- Deals bonus damage
- Procs very often in real combat
This works similarly to strong weapon enchants and triggers consistently during fights.
Best Weapons and Armor for Archangel
Archangel performs well with almost any setup, but certain builds shine more:
- Light weapons benefit from faster stuns and frequent smite procs
- High-damage heavy weapons maximize hellfire dash damage
- Demonite armor pairs extremely well due to burn stacking
- Light armor combined with Archangel movement makes dodging effortless
Because Archangel already provides mobility and damage, armor that adds burn, lifesteal, or stun effects will push the build even further.
Is the Archangel Race Worth It?
From a pure performance standpoint, yes. Archangel is one of the strongest races ever added to The Forge. It excels in:
- Boss fights
- NPC farming
- High-speed map traversal
- Damage stacking builds
However, the 0.1% drop rate makes it extremely hard to obtain. This is not a race most players will realistically get unless they are very lucky or willing to spend heavily.
The Archangel Race is a top-tier option that combines the best parts of Angel and Demon into one overwhelming kit. With unmatched mobility, strong AoE damage, and frequent passive procs, it can dominate both PvE content and high-level farming. While its rarity makes it difficult to obtain, players who manage to unlock it will have one of the strongest setups in The Forge.
