Pixel Lineage races used to play a lesser role in your overall build but now with the Race Evolution update, they’re a major part of optimization. The update made Rare and Uncommon races viable choices that can at least somewhat compete or are just as good as Mythicals. Here’s my Pixel Lineage race tier list.

The best races in Pixel Lineage usually depend on your build. That said, there are some races that are either more flexible for multiple builds or are more viable than others for specific classes. This is especially true now with race Heirloom items for evolutions to get additional stats and boost your racial abilities. Check out the ranking reasons in the tier list above and below you can find a full list of racial bonuses.
