Race Tier List (S → C)
Broken Blade's race system is what separates meta from non-meta. S-tier races do not just have higher stats — they actively reshape how specific weapons perform. Below is the full tier list with playstyle notes.

S-Tier Races
S-tier races define the meta. They all share one trait: they make a specific weapon class scale harder than any other setup.
- Elf — sword-focused. The cleanest weapon synergy in the game. Strongest when paired with Dragon Slayer or Hollow Blade.
- Nether — burst-focused. Converts attacks into results faster than any other race. Dominates 650B-HP boss fights with the V-move.
- Veneer — katana-focused. Best farming race in the game. Pairs best with Moon Cut or Storm Katana.
A-Tier Races
- Flame — aggressive DPS, consistent across all fights. Lacks the specialized scaling of S-tier.
- Frost — control / survivability hybrid. Great in extended fights.
B-Tier Races
- Dwarves — defensive / stability. Beginner-friendly.
- Giant — tanky / heavy. Good in extended fights, weak in clear-speed.
C-Tier Races
- Human — starter race. Functional but offers no synergy. Reroll asap.
