Roblox Abyss Race Tier List Guide: Best Races to Use!

Choosing the right race in Roblox Abyss can change how fast you progress and how safe your deep dives feel. With 16 races available at launch and rerolls costing valuable resources, picking the right one matters more than it seems. Some races give huge stat boosts and powerful passives, while others barely help at all. This guide breaks down the best races to reroll for, explains every race tier, and helps you decide what’s worth keeping.

How to Reroll Your Race in Roblox Abyss

To reroll your race:

1. Open the in-game race or customization menu
2. Use a race reroll item or lucky reroll
3. Confirm the reroll to receive a random new race

Lucky rerolls significantly reduce the chance of landing low-tier races, making them the best option when available.

Roblox Abyss Race Tier List Overview

This tier list ranks races based on two things: stat bonuses and passive abilities. Strong passives can carry you through harder zones and make oxygen management much easier.

S Tier (Best Races)

• Sea Angel
• Kraken

A Tier (Very Strong)

• Vampire Squid
• Shark
• Crab

B Tier (Solid Picks)

• Anglerfish
• Spirit
• Puffer
• Narwhal

C Tier (Weak)

• Monkey
• Fish
• Cyclops

D Tier (Avoid Rerolling Into These)

• Poop
• Human
• Elf
• Coral

If you land an S or strong A tier race, it’s usually worth keeping.

S Tier Abyss Races – The Meta Picks

These races define the current meta. They provide the best scaling and survival tools in the game.

Kraken (Mythic)

Bonuses & Passives:

• +20% Weight
• +15% XP
• +15% Cash
• Endless Depths: Permanent damage stacking per fish caught (up to +50%)
• Leviathan’s Legacy: Death prevention with full oxygen restore and AoE damage (8-minute cooldown)

Kraken is widely considered the strongest race. Its scaling damage rewards long grinding sessions, and the revive passive can save runs in deep zones. If you roll Kraken, keep it.

Sea Angel (Mythic)

Sea Angel is another top-tier Mythic race. While its full details are still being explored by players, it performs at a similar power level to Kraken and is a premium choice for long-term progression.

A Tier Abyss Races – Powerful Alternatives

These races are strong and reliable, just slightly behind Mythics.

Shark (Legendary)

Key strengths:

• Major damage boost and faster attacks
• Extra damage when low on oxygen
• Reduced oxygen cost when sprinting

Shark is the best pure damage race outside Mythics. It excels at aggressive play and clutch escapes.

Vampire Squid (Legendary)

Key strengths:

• Large oxygen boost
• Oxygen regeneration when catching fish

This race is great for extended dives. Skilled players can chain catches to stay underwater longer.

Crab (Epic)

Key strengths:

• Balanced stats across oxygen, weight, and damage
• Chance to fully block incoming attacks

Crab is the most reliable Epic race and a safe all-rounder.

B Tier Abyss Races – Decent but Situational

These races are usable, especially early on, but not optimal long term.

• Anglerfish: Double drop chance and built-in light make it a good utility pick
• Spirit: Emergency oxygen restore helps beginners survive mistakes
• Puffer: Extra oxygen and damage reflection improve survivability
• Narwhal: Strong weight bonus but inconsistent damage passive

They work fine as temporary races while you aim for higher tiers.

C Tier Abyss Races – Starter Options

These races offer small stat boosts without meaningful passives.

• Cyclops: Basic damage increase
• Monkey: Speed and XP help early leveling
• Fish: Minor speed and weight bonuses

They’re acceptable early but should be rerolled later.

D Tier Abyss Races – Always Reroll

These races provide almost no useful benefits.

• Poop: Minimal damage bonus
• Human: No meaningful passive
• Elf: Small speed boost
• Coral: Tiny oxygen increase

Lucky rerolls are especially valuable for avoiding this tier.

Races in Roblox Abyss play a major role in how efficiently you farm, survive, and explore deeper waters. A strong race like Kraken or Shark can noticeably speed up your progress, while weaker races slow you down. If you’re spending rerolls, aim for S or high A tier options and avoid settling for anything in D tier. With the right race, your dives become longer, safer, and far more rewarding.
