Choosing a race in The Forge has a massive impact on your gameplay. Your race determines your mobility, survivability, damage output, farming speed, and even your gold efficiency. Some races are great for early progression, others dominate in combat-heavy content, while a few are simply unmatched for mining or late–game bossing.
