The best race in Beyond Nen is Celestial (Mythical, 1% roll chance) for its +5% boost to every stat plus extra damage, and the best lineage is Zoldyck (Mythical, 0.5% roll chance) for its Assassin’s Instincts mode and dual elemental resistances. Cyborg, Kurta, and Netero are the next keeps I’d lock in, while Human and every Uncommon or Common lineage are safe rerolls. I cross-checked the post-release meta against the game’s community wiki, Discord, and current top-ranking lists to build the tables below β including the drop rates most guides skip, so you know exactly when a roll is worth keeping.
| Quick Picks | Best Overall | Best Budget Keep | Reroll Immediately |
|---|---|---|---|
| Race | Celestial (1%) | Cyborg (4%) / Rabbit (20%) | Human (65%) |
| Lineage | Zoldyck (0.5%) | Krueger (15%) / Freecss (5%) | Any Common (50%) |
Four criteria decided every placement: total stat value, how the buffs support the game’s two real builds (Nen abilities and weapon/M1), mode duration versus cooldown for lineages, and drop rates confirmed by the community wiki and Discord. Races give permanent passive stats, while lineages add a combat mode, a money or EXP perk, or a grinding boost β so lineage modes carry more weight for PvP and boss farming.
| Tier | Race | Rarity (Drop Rate) | Buffs |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Celestial | Mythical (1%) | +5% Strength, Weapon, Durability, Nen, Stamina; +2.5% DMG |
| S | Cyborg | Legendary (4%) | +10% Durability; +3.5% DMG |
| A | Rabbit | Uncommon (20%) | +10% Weapon; +5% Stamina; +5% Move Speed |
| A | Cat | Rare (10%) | +10% Move Speed; +5% Stamina |
| B | Human | Common (65%) | +10% Stamina; +5% Move Speed |
Celestial is the only race with a Nen damage boost, which makes it the default keep for ability builds β and at 1%, the chase roll. Cyborg is my defensive pick: 10% Durability plus a flat damage boost works in every build, and the robot arm looks the part. Rabbit punches above its Uncommon rarity on weapon builds, Cat is the kiting race for PvP chases and escapes, and Human is a comfortable starter with stamina sustain β not worth panicking over before you save some spins. If you want my full ranking method for similar Roblox RPGs, I break it down the same way in our Solo Hunters class tier list.
| Tier | Lineage | Rarity (Drop Rate) | Why It’s Ranked Here |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Zoldyck | Mythical (0.5%) | Assassin’s Instincts: +25% Move Speed, +10% DMG for 2 min; 25% Electric/Poison resistance; 1.15x Money |
| S | Kurta | Extraordinary (5%) | 15% more DMG vs bosses/NPCs; Controlled Rage buffs and heals |
| S | Netero | Legendary (10%) | Golden Aura: 3.5-min Nen damage/defense + speed mode |
| A | Freecss | Extraordinary (5%) | 1.15x EXP; Heightened Senses reveals enemy HP and Stamina |
| A | Morrow | Legendary (10%) | Strong damage/speed mode; short uptime on a long cooldown |
| A | Lucilfer | Legendary (10%) | Treasure Hunter doubles crafting materials 50% of the time |
| B | Krueger | Rare (15%) | Highest raw damage mode among easy rolls; free PvE heals |
| B | Hazama | Rare (15%) | Parry grants +20% on your next weapon hit (1-min cooldown) |
| C | Hill + all Uncommon/Common | RareβCommon | Hill’s slow needs an emote hit; the rest have no perks |
Zoldyck is the complete package: Assassin’s Instincts turns your eyes black and stacks movement speed with a damage boost long enough to force any fight, the two 25% resistances counter electric PvP builds and poison bosses, and the 1.15x Money perk quietly funds your weapon crafting. Kurta is my boss-farming pick β the 15% damage boost against bosses and NPCs is always on, and Controlled Rage adds +10% Durability, HP Regen, Damage, and Move Speed once your eyes awaken. The catch: healing switches off for 50 seconds after the mode ends, so time your fights. Netero has the longest mode in the game at 3.5 minutes, mixing Nen damage, Nen defense, and mobility β the safest S-tier for Nen builds.
Freecss is the grinding lineage: 1.15x EXP, wider dashes, and a scan that reveals enemy HP β its 30-second mode is the only thing keeping it out of S. Morrow hits above your level but takes a damage penalty against weaker mobs, which hurts farming. Lucilfer looks defensive, but Treasure Hunter’s 50% chance to double crafting materials is the real prize for ore and grind sessions. Krueger is the Rare I’d actually keep: the highest raw damage mode you can get at 15%, plus regeneration after standing still β it just falls off late against the Mythicals. Remember that lineage questlines at level 30 unlock extra attributes, so don’t discard a Rare mid-leveling before checking. For more anime-RPG rankings, my Legacy Piece tier list covers that meta too.
Race and lineage only multiply what your Nen ability starts, so the tier list doesn’t end at your roll screen. If you land one of these affinities, keep it β the S-tier picks above pay double:
| Tier | Ability | Affinity (Rarity) |
|---|---|---|
| S | Aura Corruption | Specialization |
| S | Godspeed | Transmutation (Mythical) |
| S | Crazy Slots | Conjuration (Extraordinary) |
| A | Jajanken | Enhancement (Mythical) |
| A | Rising Sun | Transmutation (Extraordinary) |
| A | Paper Manipulation | Manipulation (Legendary) |
Godspeed pairs perfectly with Zoldyck’s speed stacking, while Jajanken plus Rabbit turns every M1 combo into a boss-melting rotation. If your affinity roll is weak, spend Spins on it before touching your lineage β a bad ability caps every build.
That’s 20 free rolls before you spend anything, and the Discord announces new codes first. Zoldyck’s 0.5% rate means roughly 1 in 200 spins, so spend free Spins patiently instead of chasing it with Robux. I keep a habit of claiming every code I find β the same discipline pays off in games like Anime Battles and Sell Fries.
Celestial β +5% to all five stats plus 2.5% extra damage. Cyborg (4%) is the realistic alternative if you want Durability over everything.
Zoldyck at 0.5%. Kurta and Freecss sit at 5% β all three are instant keeps, and any Legendary at 10% is worth holding too.
Yes. Rerolls stay available after progress, and lineage questlines at level 30 unlock additional attributes, so a late reroll loses nothing.
Krueger β easy to get at 15%, the highest raw damage mode among common rolls, and free healing while you learn boss patterns.
