The Forge added three new races in the massive Winter update that released on December 25, 2025. These overhaul combat, mobility, and farming, giving you edges in boss fights and ore grinding across islands. Here's everything you need to know about them.
All 3 New Races in The Forge
Here's everything you need to know about the 3 new races:
Archangel
Archangel is one of the rarest races in the game. It grants winged mobility, letting you dash farther and faster while shortening cooldowns by about 35%.
Each dash triggers a “holy circle” that causes area damage, and sometimes, a radiant beam strike that hits enemies for huge burst damage.
It also enhances speed, stamina, and jump height. Those who get Archangel basically dominate both PvE and PvP thanks to its combined offensive and defensive perks.
Vampire
Vampire is an Epic-tier race designed for aggressive players who thrive on sustained combat. It restores health with every attack through its Bloodthirst trait, while boosting straight sword damage for those who favor a fast, close-range playstyle.
Its health regeneration makes it perfect for long boss fights or solo mining sessions where you need endurance more than brute power.
Felynx
Felynx, the cat-like race, focuses on speed, precision, and agility. It’s known for quick reactions, a higher critical hit rate, and luck-based movement bonuses that can give you an edge while farming or dodging attacks.
While not as overwhelming as Archangel or Vampire, many players favor it for exploration and ore runs.
Here's a quick look at how the three compare:
| Race | Rarity | Key Strengths | Standout Traits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archangel | Divine (0.1%) | Mobility, AoE damage, hybrid power | Wings (-35% dash cooldown, +75% dash distance, iFrame), +25% speed/jump/stamina, 50% holy circle on dash, 33% beam strike |
| Vampire | Epic (~4%) | Sustain, weapon synergy | +15% lifesteal (Bloodthirst), +10% straight sword damage (Blade Adept), vampiric regeneration |
| Felynx | A-Tier (recent) | Agility, crits | Swift movement, luck boosts on dashes (speculated meta shift) |
How to reroll for new races
Talk to the Wizard NPC in the Wizard Tower or use the shop menu for rerolls—codes like XMAS! grant free ones amid the update hype.
Step 1: Reach the Wizard Tower
Head to the central hub post-spawn, climb to the Wizard Tower (marked on map), and interact with the Wizard NPC to initiate a reroll for 50-100 coins or code rewards.
Step 2: Spend or redeem
Confirm your reroll spend—new slots unlock at level 30 (2nd) or 100 (3rd), or buy with 175/325 Robux for slots to equip multiple races like Archangel + Vampire.
Step 3: Equip and test
Open your race menu post-roll, slot the new race (up to 3 active), and test in Winter Island's new biomes for synergy with Heavenite ores and Yeti boss.

New race tiers (post update)
Archangel vaults to S-tier for its overpowered dash/mobility kit, blending Angel/Demon for meta dominance in Island 3's new bosses and veins. Vampire slots A-tier with Felynx, edging out older picks like Shadowborn via reliable healing.
Hunt these via luck events and free rerolls in the Christmas grind—pair Archangel wings with Vampire sustain to crush leaderboards before patches hit.
