Rune Slayer Races Guide
Upon joining Rune Slayer, every player will belong to the Human lineage. This common race defines the foundation for most players’ builds since a reroll costs a hefty 150 Robux per! And, there’s never a guarantee to land something other than a Human.
Despite that making the Human race seem… Lacklustre. Each heritage offers unique stat enhancers which should also be considered when choosing your Class. Let’s get into it!
Human Race
Humans have no cosmetic changes, looking as you’d expect them to. They’re a hardy and adaptable bunch that, all around, have balanced skills and stats. When rerolling, you have a 25.3% chance to become a Human.
- Tenacity [Passive] – When below 50% HP, Humans gain a 15% DMG buff and a 15% DMG intake reduction.
- Ghoul Slayer [Passive] – Deal more DMG to undead enemies.
- Hunger Efficiency [Passive] – +1 Focus Efficiency, +2 Mana Efficiency
- Surge – Harnesses hunger to gain a huge stamina boost at the cost of 50 Hunger Drain.
Elf Race
The elven race stunts their iconic pointed long ears, which, despite the size, don’t impact their visibility as they pride themselves on ambush attacks and being unseen. This stealthy bunch has a 25.3% chance to appear during rerolls.
- Strider [Passive] – +3% Speed, +10% Cooldown Reduction, +10% Stealth
- Mana Affinity [Passive] – +10% Mana
- Focus Affinity [Passive] – +5% Focus

Orc Race
Highly resilient and tough, Orcs pride themselves on being brutes with restless drive. Orcs are easily recognised by their deep red skin and tusks protruding from their mouth. They can survive unthinkable temperatures such as extreme heat. This race appears 25.3% of the time during rerolls.
- Battle Hardened [Passive] – +10% Base Health Regen
