Races play a huge role in Sailor Piece because they provide permanent stat bonuses such as HP, damage multipliers, lifesteal, and utility effects. After recent balance changes, the race meta has shifted heavily toward survivability and damage synergy with specific builds.
This guide explains the current race rankings and why certain races dominate the meta.
S+ Tier — Best Overall Races
These races provide the strongest stat boosts and are considered top choices for endgame content.
Slime
Slime is one of the strongest races for sword builds.
It provides a massive increase to maximum health, strong overall damage boosts, sword damage multipliers, lifesteal, and damage reduction.
Because of its balance of offense and survivability, it is considered one of the best races in the game.
Servant
Servant is widely regarded as the strongest race for melee builds.
It offers the highest HP bonus in the game along with strong damage boosts, melee damage multipliers, lifesteal, and damage reduction.
This makes it extremely durable while still dealing very high damage.
Kitsune
Kitsune is the best race for farming and grinding.
It provides high luck bonuses, strong damage boosts, and solid survivability.
Because of its versatility, it is excellent for both combat and resource farming.
S Tier — Very Strong Choices
These races are slightly below S+ but still extremely powerful.
Leviathan
Leviathan is one of the best races for sword builds.
It provides strong HP and damage bonuses along with sword damage multipliers and lifesteal.
It is often considered a top alternative to Slime.
A Tier — Strong but Build-Specific
These races perform very well when used with the right builds.
Oni
Oni is excellent for melee builds due to high HP, damage reduction, and melee damage bonuses.
It is very durable and reliable in late-game fights.
Hollow
Hollow is best suited for Ichigo sword builds.
It provides strong HP and damage bonuses along with a boost specific to that weapon type.
Limitless
Limitless focuses on Gojo-style melee combat.
It provides moderate HP, damage boosts, and strong synergy with specific playstyles.
B Tier — Decent but Situational
These races are useful but generally outclassed by higher tiers.
Vampire
Vampire provides lifesteal and moderate damage boosts, making it helpful for sustain but weaker overall.
Fishman
Fishman focuses on utility rather than combat, providing bonuses to money and experience gain.
It is useful for leveling but not ideal for fighting.
Shadowborn
Shadowborn works well with shadow sword builds but lacks the raw power of higher tiers.
Vessel
Vessel is designed for Sukuna melee builds but has lower overall stats compared to top races.
Shinigami
Shinigami provides decent HP and damage boosts along with sword-specific bonuses.
Its effectiveness depends heavily on weapon choice.
C Tier — Weak but Usable
These races provide basic bonuses but are not strong enough for endgame.
Orc
Orc offers small HP and damage boosts but lacks unique advantages.
Player Race
This race provides moderate stats but is outclassed by stronger options.
Demon
Demon offers speed and minor stat boosts but lacks significant combat advantages.
Mink
Mink focuses on mobility with jump and sprint bonuses but provides no real combat strength.
D and F Tier — Worst Races
These races provide little to no combat benefit.
Skypia
Skypia only provides extra jumps, offering no combat value.
Human
Human provides no stat bonuses and is considered the weakest race.
How to Choose the Right Race
The best race depends on your build type.
Sword builds benefit most from Slime or Leviathan.
Melee builds perform best with Servant or Oni.
Grinding and farming are easier with Kitsune.
