If you’re rolling races in Grand Blue and wondering whether you should keep what you just got or spend another reroll, this is the list I’d check first.
There are quite a few races in Grand Blue, and they’re not just cosmetic changes. Each one comes with its own bonuses, so the race you end up with can affect everything from movement and combat to mining, fishing, and general progression.
Some races are incredibly common and don’t offer much, while others are so rare that getting one feels like winning the Roblox lottery.
I’ve ranked the races from C Tier up to S Tier, with the strongest options saved for the end. And honestly, some of these bonuses are much more useful than they look at first.
Grand Blue Race Tier List – Best Race for PvP and PvE
Here’s the quick ranking before we get into the details:
| Tier | Races |
|---|---|
| S Tier | Celestial, Dwarf, Beast Folk |
| A Tier | Skyfolk |
| B Tier | Sea Folk, Fishman, Long Legged, Long Armed |
| C Tier | Human |
The ranking is based on how useful each race’s passive abilities are for actual gameplay, especially combat and progression.
C Tier – Human
Human
Human is the default race in Grand Blue, so there isn’t exactly anything exciting about rolling it.
The main benefit is an additional skill slot, which is certainly useful, but that’s basically where the advantages end.
The biggest problem is that Human is incredibly common. Since it’s the starting race for characters, you have a very high chance of ending up with it anyway.
If you have the opportunity to reroll and you’re looking for a stronger race, I’d definitely consider doing it.
It’s not that Human is completely useless. The extra skill slot has value. It’s just difficult to recommend keeping it when several other races give you much more interesting bonuses.
Verdict: Fine for starting out, but I’d reroll if you’re trying to build an optimized character.
B Tier – Good Races With Useful Bonuses
The B Tier races aren’t bad at all. In fact, some of them are excellent depending on what you spend most of your time doing.
They’re just missing that extra something that pushes the higher-tier races above them.
Sea Folk
Sea Folk is a particularly useful choice if you spend a lot of time around water.
The race gives you several bonuses, including:
- 15% chance to reel in a second fish
- 25% more Fishing XP
- Increased swimming speed
- Faster health regeneration
- 10% more damage while soaked
- An additional skill slot
- You cannot drown
That is a surprisingly long list of benefits.
The fishing bonuses alone make Sea Folk interesting for anyone who spends time fishing, while the swimming and underwater advantages are useful for exploration.
The 10% damage bonus while soaked is particularly interesting for combat. If you can consistently keep your character wet, you can maintain that bonus and get more value from the race.
The downside is obvious: a lot of these bonuses become less impressive when you’re nowhere near water.
Verdict: Great utility and surprisingly good around water, but not quite on the level of the rare races.
Fishman
Fishman is very similar to Sea Folk and comes with essentially the same set of advantages.
You get the fishing benefits, increased swimming speed, faster health regeneration, the soaked damage bonus, an extra skill slot, and immunity to drowning.
The major difference is rarity.
Fishman is much harder to get, with the race having a much lower chance of appearing than the common options.
If you already have Fishman, I wouldn’t be rushing to reroll it. It gives you plenty of useful bonuses and is particularly good for players who enjoy fishing and water-based exploration.
Verdict: A strong all-round water-focused race.
Long Legged
Long Legged gives you an additional skill slot along with a 10% increase to your height and increased dash distance.
The extra dash distance is the part I like most.
Movement matters a lot in Grand Blue, especially when you’re trying to close the distance on an enemy or get away from someone chasing you.
Being able to dash farther can make your character feel much more mobile.
The downside is that the race doesn’t provide a huge number of other bonuses.
Verdict: Good mobility option, especially if you value movement in combat.
Long Armed
Long Armed works in a similar way to Long Legged, but instead of improving your dash distance, it increases your basic attack range by 10%.
And that extra range can be surprisingly useful.
Getting hits on an opponent while standing slightly farther away gives you more room to work with during combat. You can pressure enemies without needing to stand directly on top of them.
It isn’t an enormous boost, but 10% additional attack range is definitely something you’ll notice once you start fighting regularly.
Verdict: A solid combat race with a useful range advantage.
A Tier – Skyfolk
Skyfolk
Skyfolk is where the races start getting genuinely interesting.
The main reason is its aerial mobility.
Skyfolk can glide, and while airborne, you can dash in different directions. That gives you much more freedom than the standard movement options.
The race also provides:
- 10% more damage while airborne
- 20% increased movement skills and dash distance
- An additional dash charge
- The ability to dash in any direction while airborne
- Gliding
The aerial dash is the real selling point.
In PvP, being able to suddenly move upward or change your direction while in the air can make you much harder to predict. Someone chasing you on the ground can’t always react quickly when you start moving vertically.
It’s also just fun to use.
Skyfolk isn’t necessarily my absolute favorite race because some of the S Tier options offer stronger overall benefits, but if you enjoy movement-heavy combat, this is definitely one I’d be happy to have.
Verdict: Excellent mobility and a very strong PvP-oriented race.
S Tier – The Best Grand Blue Races
Now we get to the races I’d be looking for if I were trying to build one of the strongest characters possible.
These races are rare, powerful, or simply provide benefits that remain useful throughout a large part of your progression.
Celestial
Celestial is arguably the most desirable race on the list.
It’s incredibly rare, with only around a 0.1% chance of obtaining it.
So, yes, if you actually roll Celestial, you’re extremely lucky.
The race comes with unique passive benefits, including discounts on shop items and an exclusive pet that assists you in battle.
That shop discount is more valuable than it might initially sound.
As you progress through Grand Blue, you’re going to spend more and more money. Having discounts available throughout your progression means you’re consistently getting more value from your money.
The exclusive pet also gives you additional combat assistance by increasing your overall damage.
It’s the combination of long-term economic benefits and combat utility that makes Celestial so strong.
Verdict: Extremely rare and one of the best races you can possibly get.
Dwarf
Dwarf is another excellent race, particularly if you’re heavily invested in mining and crafting.
It gives you a 15% chance to double resources while mining or smelting, along with 25% more Mining XP.
But that’s not all.
Dwarf also gives you:
- 10% more maximum HP
- Improved gear stats
- Faster weapon skill cooldowns
- Increased resource efficiency
The extra health is great for combat, while the improved gear and cooldowns give the race benefits beyond simply gathering resources.
There is one major drawback, though: movement speed is reduced by 10%.
That’s a fairly noticeable downside, especially if you’re used to having a fast character.
Still, I think the overall package is strong enough to keep Dwarf in S Tier.
Verdict: Fantastic for mining and progression, with useful combat bonuses to back it up.
Beast Folk
Beast Folk is the combat-focused option of the S Tier.
The Bunny and Cat variants fall under the same general category here because they provide similar benefits.
The big thing you’ll notice is the speed boost, which becomes stronger at night.
But Beast Folk also has a special combat effect.
After hitting a target five times, your attacks can trigger a static charge that deals additional lightning damage.
And when there’s a full moon, the race gets even stronger:
- 15% increased damage
- Faster attacks
- Stronger nighttime performance
That makes Beast Folk particularly attractive for PvP.
You’re getting increased movement, additional offensive pressure, and bonuses that become even better under certain nighttime conditions.
If you’re mainly interested in fighting other players, this is easily one of the races I’d want.
Verdict: One of the best combat races in Grand Blue.
Which Race Is Best in Grand Blue?
That really depends on what you’re doing, but if we’re talking about overall value, Celestial is probably the race I’d be happiest to roll.
The rarity is ridiculous, but the combination of shop discounts and the exclusive combat pet gives it long-term value.
For combat, Beast Folk is a fantastic choice. The speed, lightning effect, nighttime bonuses, and faster attacks make it a very strong option for PvP.
If you’re spending a lot of time mining, Dwarf makes much more sense. The resource bonuses, Mining XP, health, gear improvements, and cooldown reduction all work together nicely.
And if movement is your thing, don’t overlook Skyfolk. The ability to glide and dash through the air in different directions makes it one of the most interesting races to play.
