The Veil Races: All 12 Races Ranked & How to Reroll
Stat lines below are read from the race tooltips shown on stream by Deepshaken and Conthirius (September 5 and 8, 2026); tiers follow Deepshaken's release-day list with Sportskeeda and Destructoid as cross-checks. Rerolls come from codes and daily rewards.
Every race and its stats
| Race | Rarity | Stats | Tier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Human | Common | +5 max HP per prestige level | B | The only common race; at prestige 10 that is 50 HP over any other race. |
| Goblin | Uncommon | +20% luck, +10% cast damage, -10% cast cooldown | A | Best uncommon race for mages; Conthirius ranks it S. |
| Skeleton | Uncommon | +10% speed, +10% summon damage, -10% resistance | C | Niche summoner pick; Gemhead does the job better. |
| Hiveling | Rare | +10% resistance at night, -10% by day, +10% damage, -10% attack speed | C | Most grinding happens at night, but the attack speed penalty is always on. |
| Rat | Rare | 5% chance for any hit to pass through you and do nothing | B | Conthirius calls this race Wraith; the effect is the same. |
| Mushling | Rare | +10% regeneration, +10% healing received, -10% stamina regeneration; Decompose: burrow to regenerate 25% HP | B | Decompose was added just before release; Deepshaken moved it from C to B for it. |
| Gemhead | Rare | +10% summon damage, +15% summon life (Conthirius: +50% summon health) | A | The summoner race. |
| Underling | Rare | +25% fire resistance, +10% regeneration, +15% cast damage | A | ItzVexo's recommended race for new players; slightly above Goblin for pure cast damage. |
| Obelite | Rare | +10% resistance, +10% stun resistance, +15% knockback, -10% speed; Exert Energy: +15% resistance for 15 seconds, then -20% HP and stamina regen | A | Tank race; Sportskeeda puts it in S with Veilborne. |
| Veilborne | Legendary | Dusk Weaver: weave caps at 4 stacks worth 7.5% each (+30% instead of +25%); Nightfall (night only): lightning on yourself for 15 damage to everything near you, +10% universal damage and +10% speed for 15 seconds, +10% insanity | S | The rarest normal race. Deepshaken's auto-captions call it Whaleborn. |
| Shrouded | Secret | -10% damage; full details not documented | Unranked | Not a roll. Reach the Shrouded waypoint at the back of Camp Zero, pass the flame, take the NPC's task, get 100 kills while wearing a Cowl and a Ragged Cloth, then step into the flame; you die and respawn as Shrouded. |
| Mythic race (unnamed) | Mythic | +50% fire resistance, +10% universal damage; active: every ally within 40 studs is healed for 100 and set alight with white fire (does nothing for you) | Unranked | Deepshaken received it from the developers on September 11 as a thank-you; no player-obtainable method is known. |
Race tier list
| Tier | Races |
|---|---|
| S | Veilborne |
| A | Goblin, Gemhead, Underling, Obelite |
| B | Human, Rat, Mushling |
| C | Skeleton, Hiveling |
Deepshaken ranks Goblin A and Underling slightly above it; Conthirius puts Goblin in S. Sportskeeda's list has Veilborne and Obelite in S. The disagreement is about how much a -10% speed penalty matters, not about the numbers.

Race FAQ
What is the best race in The Veil?
Veilborne, the only legendary roll: four weave stacks give +30% damage and Nightfall adds +10% universal damage and speed at night. Among common rolls, Goblin and Underling for mages, Gemhead for summoners, Obelite for tanks.
How do I reroll my race?
Talk to the Stylist NPC next to spawn in the Glade and say yes; every reroll spends one Race Reroll. Codes gave 3 to 6 rerolls each, daily rewards add more, and you keep your slot.
Is Rat the same as Wraith?
Yes. The 5% dodge-through race is called Rat by Deepshaken and the wiki sites and Wraith by Conthirius; the stat line is identical.
How do I get the Shrouded race?
It is not a roll. Reach the Shrouded waypoint at the back of Camp Zero in the Pale, go through the flame door, take the task, get 100 kills while wearing a Cowl and a Ragged Cloth, then step into the flame. You die and respawn as Shrouded with -10% damage.
Can a race be changed without a new slot?
Yes, that is exactly what the Stylist is for. You only need a new slot if you want to keep two races at once.
