Iron Soul Dungeon Tier List
Published race profiles ranked from S to D with visible bonuses and build context. Newly documented races remain unranked until current build testing supports a defensible tier. Rankings are editorial guidance, not a hidden damage formula, and should be re-checked against the current in-game race panel. Last updated: 2026-08-09
S Tier S
The broadest buff spread in the game. Covers attack, crit rate, crit damage, skill damage, cooldown reduction, movement speed, and dash distance.
Covers nearly every important stat and stays useful across multiple weapon paths. Speed, survival, and burst in one package.
A Tier A
Crit burst build with fast ultimate cycling. Excellent for aggressive playstyles.
Glass cannon magic/crit build. High damage but fragile.
B Tier B
Crit damage + mobility combo. Good all-around choice.
Melee survivability build. HP + cooldown reduction + skill damage.
Mobility-focused. Great for dodging and positioning.
C Tier C
Best beginner race. Easy to get duplicates for star upgrades.
D Tier D
A basic race profile with a limited published bonus spread compared with higher-ranked options.
? Awaiting ranking data
Published race panel values confirm a skill damage and cooldown reduction package. Luck is listed, but its in-game outcome has not been verified well enough for a tier placement.
Published race panel values show a broad Luck, attack, crit damage, skill damage, movement, and health package. Its real build performance still needs repeatable current testing.
Published race panel values show a high offensive package with Luck, attack, crit rate, skill damage, movement, and health. A final tier needs independent current build testing.
L Legacy Season 1 race
Season 1 Staff/Range specialist with speed and crit bonuses. It is no longer obtainable from the standard current race pool.
Ranking boundary
Editorial tiers, published bonuses
Tier placement is decision support, not a hidden combat formula. Confirm the available race pool and live bonus panel before using rerolls.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best race in Iron Soul Dungeon?
Demon and Angel are S-tier races. Demon offers the broadest stat coverage (+12% attack, +6% crit rate, +12% crit damage, +12% skill damage, -12% cooldown, +24% move speed, +30% dash distance). Angel provides excellent balance (+10% attack, +5% crit rate, +10% crit damage, +15% HP, +20% move speed, +30% dash distance, +10% ultimate charge).
How do I get a better race?
Use Race Rerolls to randomly change your race. You can get rerolls from redeeming codes (many codes reward 3-7 Race Rerolls), in-game activities, and milestone rewards. The drop rates vary: Demon (0.3%), Angel (0.4%), Fairy (1.2%), Sorcerer (1.6%), Dragonkin (6%), Undead (13%), Goblin (24.5%), Orc (26%), Human (26%).
What race should I keep?
Keep any S-tier (Demon, Angel) or A-tier (Fairy, Sorcerer) race. If you have Human or Orc, consider rerolling since they provide minimal bonuses. Goblin and Undead are decent B-tier options if you're low on rerolls.
Can I upgrade my race?
Yes! When you roll a duplicate race, it upgrades that race's star level (up to 3 stars). Higher star levels provide stronger stat bonuses. Rare races are harder to upgrade since they're harder to roll duplicates of.
