Roblox Abyss has a ton of race options but some are much stronger than others. I’ll show you the best options for progression based on how the stat boosts and passives impact early, mid and end-game. Here’s my Roblox Abyss race tier list and race reroll guide.

Roblox Abyss Race Tier List
The best races in Abyss are in the S and A-Tier and the only difference is that S-Tiers are always strong while A-Tiers require a bit of luck or finesse to get the most value. B-Tier races are slightly weaker but decent alternatives, C-Tiers are beginner options and D-Tiers are just weak and unusable. Let’s analyze each race below individually and talk about its position in the tier list.

S-Tier Races
| S-Tier Races | Ranking Reason | Race Stats |
|---|---|---|
 Sea Angel Mythic | • One of the best race in the game due to it being the fastest which is useful in any situation • That said it requires finessing it so that you remain below 50% oxygen to gain all the benefits • You also get a chunky damage buff scaling with your speed from all sources • Lastly, if you’re ever about to die you can tube boost for free to escape | • +10% Speed • +25% Oxygen • +15% Cash. • Last Breath Sprint While oxygen is below 20%, sprinting no longer consumes extra oxygen • Kinetic Wrath Gain bonus damage equal to 35% of your movement speed. • Abyssal Focus As oxygen falls below 50%, your focus sharpens, increasing catching minigame progress speed. This bonus scales with lower oxygen and caps when oxygen reaches 20%. |
 Vampire Squid Legendary | • One of the best races in the game allowing for massive sustain • The Oxygen and XP boost are nice but the lifesteal passive is what makes this strong • It essentially allows you to progress/farm drastically longer than other races without returning • This also indirectly helps with combat and tube boosting since you’ll have a ton of oxygen | • +20% Oxygen • +10% XP • Blood Siphon (15 seconds cooldown) When catching a fish, regen oxygen for 10% of the damage dealt |
 Kraken Mythic | • The best stat boosts for progression and farming • Also a massive 50% damage boost that you’ll need to stack with hundreds of fish which is tedious but still strong • Plus, you have an extra life every 8 minutes which extends each run and allows you to overcommit safely • Unlike Spirit you explode dealing damage and heal to full oxygen when you use the extra life • Not the strongest race in the game but really useful overall Kraken Notes: • Kraken progression is not retroactive so once you roll it keep it in one of your slots • Damage stacks only while Kraken is equipped • Restarts if you reroll it • You can switch to a different race slot without resetting | • +20% Weight • +15% XP • +15% Cash • Endless Depths Every fish caught increases Damage by +0.04% permanently (caps at +50%) • Leviathan’s Legacy (8 minutes cooldown) After you die, instead of dying, regenerate 100% of your oxygen and deal 300% AoE damage around you |
A-Tier Races
| A-Tier Races | Ranking Reason | Race Stats |
|---|---|---|
 Crab Epic | • The best defensive race in the game behind Vampire Squid • Has a chunky built-in Oxygen and Damage boost that you don’t have to stack • Iron Shell reduces a lot of damage and virtually gives you much more oxygen if you’re lucky on the 1-in-4 rolls • The best beginner-friendly race | • +15% Oxygen • +10% Weight • +10% Damage • Iron Shell 25% chance to absorb incoming attacks (negate all damage from the attack) |
 Shark Legendary | • Shark is just raw DPS which is quite strong but not necessarily the most important statistic like in The Forge • Also like in The Forge, Shark is similar to Minotaur where you get the most value on low HP/Oxygen which is hard to do • That said, unlike Minotaur, Shark gets the best DPS increase and more Tube boosting that are always available • Overall, very strong to have but it’ll require some low Oxygen finesse to get the most value which isn’t ideal | • 20% DMG Increase • -0.4 Cooldown (faster attack). • Blood Frenzy When your Oxygen is below 30%, deal 30% more damage • Sea Sprint Tube boost consumes 50% less oxygen |
B-Tier Races
| B-Tier Races | Ranking Reason | Race Stats |
|---|---|---|
 Spirit Rare | • Overall a very useful beginner-friendly race to have • You get a little DPS boost with the faster attacks and some cash • But the main part is that you can play safely and overcommit in harder areas since you have an extra life • While it’s not a full heal extra life like Kraken, it has a much lower cooldown than Kraken | • -0.1s Cooldown (faster attack). • +5% Cash • Last Breath (3 minutes cooldown) After you die, instead of dying, you regenerate 30% of your Oxygen |
C-Tier Races
| C-Tier Races | Ranking Reason | Race Stats |
|---|---|---|
 | • Keep this race in your second slot on hand to access the infinite illumination in dark areas • Just going off of that use this is B-Tier • That said the rest of the stats aren’t anything special and you generally want to use a better race most of the time | • -0.2s Cooldown (faster attack). • +5% Cash • Hunter’s Instinct 10% chance for double drops when catching fish. • Abyssal Light Illuminates surroundings in darkness |
 | • Oxygen is always nice but the passive is very niche • Not only are you not going to get hit that much if you play well, it’s not that much value either way • Decent to have early but it gets outclassed fast | • +10% Oxygen • Spiky Body Reflects 20% of incoming melee damage back to the attacker |
 | • Arguably more commonly useful than Puffer since you can crit 1-in-10 times • The speed boost also allows you to maneuver enemies well and get back to safety faster • That said, overall, it’s not the mechanically strongest race to have and you’d be much better off with Spirit or higher | • +8% Speed • +15% Weight • Piercing Horn 10% chance to deal double damage |
 | • A nice little beginner damage boost to get you started that you should reroll as you progress | • +10% Damage • -0.2s Cooldown |
D-Tier Races
The D-Tier is for races you should generally never use unless you’re a beginner with no rerolls. They’re mechanically weak and while extra Speed from Monkey or extra Oxygen from Fish/Coral can be useful starting out, it gets out-scaled quickly. Just roll for higher-tier races once you farm enough race rerolls.
How to Get Race Rerolls in Abyss
Luckily Abyss has a free-to-play race reroll system. You get race rerolls in Abyss by farming Star Shards which you get by progressing and completing Achievements. You can check these at the top in the Achievements menu. You can then reroll your race in the Race menu at the top for 100 Star Shards or do a Lucky Reroll for 450 Star Shards which boosts your chances for higher rarity Races.
