Choosing the right race, lineage, and Nen ability in Beyond Nen can make a big difference to your character’s performance. Some options provide useful stat boosts, while others improve your damage, movement speed, farming rewards, or survivability.
In this Beyond Nen tier list, I’ll rank the available races, lineages, and Nen abilities based on their current perks and usefulness. Whether you want to focus on leveling, farming materials, fighting bosses, or competing against other players, understanding what each option offers will help you make better decisions.
The rankings are divided into different tiers, from S Tier for the strongest choices to D Tier for options that currently offer little or no value. Keep in mind that ability rankings are provisional and may change as the game receives updates.
Beyond Nen Tier List – Best Races, Lineages, and Nen Abilities
Here is what each tier means in this guide:
| Tier | Ranking | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S Tier | Best | Strongest options with excellent overall benefits |
| A Tier | Very Good | Powerful choices with useful perks and abilities |

| C Tier | Average | Limited benefits compared to higher-ranked choices |
| D Tier | Weak | Options with little or no useful benefits |
Beyond Nen Race Tier List
Your race provides passive stat bonuses that affect your character. Some races are designed around balanced stats, while others specialize in movement speed, durability, or weapon damage.
<escape>### S Tier – Celestial</escape>
Rarity: Mythical (1% drop chance)
Celestial is currently the best race in Beyond Nen because it provides a balanced boost to all major stats. Instead of focusing on one particular playstyle, it improves several important attributes at the same time.
Buffs:
- Strength: +5%
- Durability: +5%
- Nen: +5%
- Stamina: +5%
- Weapon: +5%
Celestial is an excellent choice if you want an all-rounder race that works with different builds. Its bonuses make it useful for both weapon-focused characters and players who rely on Nen abilities.
A+ Tier – Cyborg
Rarity: Legendary (4% drop chance)
Cyborg is a strong race for players who want additional durability without sacrificing offensive potential.
Buffs:
- Strength: +5%
- Durability: +10%
- Weapon: +5%
Its biggest advantage is the 10% Durability increase, which makes it particularly appealing for players who want a tougher character. The additional Strength and Weapon bonuses also help maintain offensive power.
A Tier – Cat
Rarity: Rare (10% drop chance)
Cat is a mobility-focused race that provides a significant movement speed bonus.
Buffs:
- Stamina: +5%
- Movement Speed: +10%
The 10% Movement Speed increase makes Cat useful for players who prefer faster movement. The additional Stamina also supports its mobility-focused playstyle.
B Tier – Rabbit
Rarity: Uncommon (20% drop chance)
Rabbit provides a combination of Weapon damage and mobility bonuses.
Buffs:
- Stamina: +5%
- Weapon: +10%
- Movement Speed: +5%
The 10% Weapon bonus makes Rabbit a reasonable option for weapon-focused builds. It also provides additional Stamina and Movement Speed, although its overall bonuses are less balanced than Celestial.
C Tier – Human
Rarity: Common (65% drop chance)
Human is currently the weakest race because it does not provide any additional stat bonuses.
Buffs: None
Unlike the other races, Human does not improve your Strength, Durability, Nen, Stamina, Weapon, or Movement Speed. There are better choices if you are looking to improve your character through racial bonuses.
Beyond Nen Lineage Tier List
Lineages provide additional perks, abilities, and passive effects. Unlike races, some lineages can directly improve farming efficiency, damage against NPCs, movement speed, or specific combat situations.
Here is how the available lineages rank based on their current abilities.
S Tier – Zoldyck
Rarity: Mythical (0.5% drop chance)
Perk: Gain 1.15x more Money.
Zoldyck is one of the strongest lineages because it offers benefits for both farming and combat. Its increased money gain makes it useful for progression, while Assassin’s Instincts provides several powerful temporary buffs.
Ability – Assassin’s Instincts
When activated, your character’s eyes turn black and receive the following bonuses:
- Movement Speed increases by 25%.
- Damage increases by 15%.
- Durability increases by 5%.
- The effect lasts for 5 minutes.
Passives:
- Electricity Resistance: You take 25% less damage from Electric moves.
- Poison Resistance: You take 25% less damage when inflicted with Poison.
The combination of increased money gains, combat bonuses, and elemental resistance makes Zoldyck an excellent overall lineage.
A+ Tier – Kurta
Rarity: Extraordinary (5% drop chance)
Perk: Deal 1.15x more damage against NPCs and bosses.
Kurta is a powerful choice for players who spend a lot of time farming enemies and fighting bosses. Its damage bonus against NPCs and bosses makes it particularly useful for PvE progression.
Ability – Controlled Rage
Controlled Rage activates Kurta Eyes for 2 minutes and provides the following bonuses:
- Durability increases by 10%.
- HP Regeneration increases by 10%.
- Damage increases by 10%.
- Movement Speed increases by 10%.
- Healing power increases by 5%.
However, there is an important drawback. Once Controlled Rage ends, healing is disabled for 50 seconds.
Controlled Rage unlocks after your character’s eyes naturally awaken for the first time.
Passive – Kurta Eyes Awakening
When your HP falls below 25%, there is a 10% chance per life for your eyes to turn red.
This activates the buffs from Controlled Rage for 3 minutes.
Kurta is especially valuable for PvE players because of its increased NPC and boss damage, while its temporary buffs provide additional combat strength.
A+ Tier – Freecss
Rarity: Extraordinary (5% drop chance)
Perk: Gain 1.15x more EXP.
Freecss is one of the best lineages for leveling because it provides an experience bonus. It also comes with several useful buffs that improve your overall character performance.
Ability – Heightened Senses
Press J to activate Heightened Senses.
The ability provides the following benefits:
- Reveals locations, HP, and Stamina.
- All stats receive a 10% boost.
- Nen Regeneration increases by 10%.
- Stamina Regeneration increases by 10%.
- Movement Speed increases by 10% for 30 seconds.
Passive – Athletic
Athletic improves your regular dash:
- Regular dash range increases by 15%.
- Regular dash speed increases by 5%.
Freecss is an excellent option for players who want to level up faster while also benefiting from better movement and regeneration.
A Tier – Lucifer
Rarity: Legendary (10% drop chance)
Perk – Treasure Hunter:
Lucifer provides a 50% chance to receive double ores and gathering materials. This perk also applies to bought potions and materials.
Its main advantage is resource gathering. If you spend a lot of time mining or collecting materials for crafting, Lucifer can be a useful choice.
A Tier – Netero
Rarity: Legendary (10% drop chance)
Perk – Martial Master:
Netero increases all fist-based damage by 25%.
This makes it a strong option for players who prefer fighting with their fists instead of relying on weapons. The damage bonus is straightforward and works particularly well with a fist-focused build.
A Tier – Morrow
Rarity: Legendary (10% drop chance)
Perk – Worthy Opponent:
Morrow deals more damage to higher-level targets and less damage to lower-level targets.
This perk can be useful when fighting stronger opponents, although its effectiveness depends on the level difference between you and your target.
B Tier – Hazama
Rarity: Rare (15% drop chance)
Perk – Deadly Counter:
After successfully parrying an attack, your next weapon hit deals 20% more damage.
Cooldown: 1 minute.
Hazama is a situational combat lineage. Its damage bonus rewards players who can consistently parry enemy attacks, but the cooldown means you cannot rely on it continuously.
C Tier – Krueger
Rarity: Rare (15% drop chance)
Perk – Passion For Relaxin’:
Stand still for 10 seconds to receive a 30% increase in passive regeneration.
The bonus remains active until you move or get hit.
Although the regeneration increase can be useful in certain situations, needing to remain completely still makes this perk less practical during active combat.
C Tier – Hill
Rarity: Rare (15% drop chance)
Perk – Trollking:
If an opponent hits you while you are emoting, their Movement Speed is reduced by 20%.
This is a very situational perk because it requires you to be emoting when an opponent attacks. It may be useful for messing with other players, but it is not as reliable as the higher-ranked lineage abilities.
D Tier – Lineages With No Perks
The following lineages currently have no listed perks or special abilities in the available information. Because they do not provide any confirmed bonuses, they are placed in D Tier.
| Lineage | Rarity | Perks |
|---|---|---|
| Koshi | Uncommon (20%) | None |
| Nostrade | Uncommon (20%) | None |
| Kawalsko | Common (50%) | None |
| Tocino | Common (50%) | None |
| Macknasey | Uncommon (20%) | None |
| Magcub | Uncommon (20%) | None |
| Hackett | Common (50%) | None |
| Bine | Uncommon (20%) | None |
| Murasaki | Uncommon (20%) | None |
| Ndongo | Common (50%) | None |
| Clow | Common (50%) | None |
These lineages are not necessarily unusable, but they currently have no listed benefits that would justify ranking them above the other options.
Beyond Nen Abilities Tier List
Your Nen ability is another important part of your character build. Different abilities provide different combat effects, so choosing the right one can influence how you approach fights and progression.
The following ability rankings are provisional and based on the currently available tier placements.
S Tier – Best Nen Abilities
Aura Corruption
Aura Corruption is placed in S Tier and is one of the highest-ranked abilities in the current list.

Godspeed also earns an S Tier ranking. It is one of the strongest choices in the current provisional ability rankings.
Crazy Slots
Crazy Slots completes the S Tier. It is currently considered one of the best Nen abilities available.
A+ Tier – Very Strong Nen Abilities
- Rising Sun
- Jajanken
Both abilities are placed just below the S Tier options. They are strong choices, although the current ranking places Aura Corruption, Godspeed, and Crazy Slots above them.
A Tier – Good Nen Abilities
The following abilities are placed in A Tier:
- Paper Manipulation
- Big Bang Impact
- Arrow
- Ripper Cyclotron
- Enchanting Music
These are solid options to consider if you do not have one of the higher-ranked abilities.
B Tier – Decent Nen Abilities
- Boost
- Super Attack
- Toolbox
These abilities are ranked in B Tier. They can still be considered, but they currently sit below the A and S Tier options.
C Tier – Lower-Ranked Nen Abilities
- Earth Sludge
- Fan Beam
These abilities are currently placed in C Tier, making them the lowest-ranked options in this provisional list.
Best Races, Lineages, and Abilities in Beyond Nen
If you are unsure which options to prioritize, here are the main recommendations based on the listed bonuses.
| Category | Recommended Option | Main Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Best Race | Celestial | +5% to all major stats |
| Best Durability Race | Cyborg | +10% Durability |
| Best Mobility Race | Cat | +10% Movement Speed |
| Best Farming Lineage | Zoldyck | 1.15x Money gain |
| Best Leveling Lineage | Freecss | 1.15x EXP gain |
| Best PvE Lineage | Kurta | 1.15x damage against NPCs and bosses |
| Best Fist Damage Lineage | Netero | +25% fist-based damage |
| Best Nen Abilities | Aura Corruption, Godspeed, Crazy Slots | S Tier ranking |
Your ideal combination depends on what you want to focus on. For example, Freecss is a strong choice if you are prioritizing levels, while Lucifer is worth considering if you spend a lot of time gathering crafting materials.
If you want a more balanced character, Celestial is the strongest race choice because it improves several important stats at once.
The best choices in Beyond Nen depend on your preferred playstyle, but some options clearly stand out because of their bonuses. Celestial is the strongest overall race, while Zoldyck, Kurta, and Freecss are excellent lineages for different types of progression.
For Nen abilities, Aura Corruption, Godspeed, and Crazy Slots currently occupy the top tier. However, these rankings are provisional, and future updates or balance changes may affect their positions.
Use this tier list as a starting point when choosing your build rather than treating every ranking as permanent. A lineage that is excellent for farming may not be the best option for PvP, so consider what you want your character to specialize in before using your resources on rerolls.
