Abyss Race Tier List

Safest long-session race for players who value oxygen stability, repeat fishing, and forgiving progression through deep routes.

Best long-term all-round race if you plan to invest heavily. It scales over time, boosts carry value, and offers one of the strongest recovery passives in the game.

High-skill speed race built for aggressive players who can manage low-oxygen states without panicking their route.

Best direct damage race for players who want cleaner Ancient Shark kills and faster pressure on high-HP targets.

Underrated value race with solid survivability, carry help, and enough offense to stay useful while pushing normal progression.

Safe transition race for newer players. It is not elite, but the revive-style passive covers route mistakes better than most low-rarity options.

Simple hauling race with good weight utility, but it lacks the deeper route tools that define the better long-term picks.

Useful exploration bridge race while dark-route visibility still matters, but it falls off once your route tools improve.

Playable starter roll with a little extra oxygen, but it has almost no real upside once rerolls become affordable.

Low-value race with almost no route upside. Replace it as soon as rerolls are realistic.
