Race board
Destructoid’s Race EVO ranking, 13 Oct 2026. Opinion Rare and Uncommon races moved up because evolution can stack onto them — the list is not “Mythic or nothing”.

Class board (first hero)
Our ranking for a first Normal Act 1 clear, using published HP/defense and the beginner recs. Gamoryx Endgame Super/Ultra ranking is not published, so we do not invent one.
S
Warrior · The usual first hero. Solo or in a party, it is the class that survives Act 1 mistakes. · Build with this →
A
Thief · Second hero, once you can time dodges. Assassin is the delete button; Rogue is traps. · Build with this →Mage · Not the first hero. Pair with a Warrior or Bard, or bring Celestine / Vesper. · Build with this →Bard · The other beginner recommendation — take it when you are playing with friends. · Build with this →Archer · Good all-rounder once Act 1 feels comfortable. Deadeye for bosses; Corsair for packs. · Build with this →
B
Fist · Solid first-or-second hero if you rolled Stonekin. No class passive — the power is in the combos. · Build with this →
Fist climbs with Stonekin
Fist sits B as a generic first pick. With Stonekin’s +15% Fist rider it plays like an A. The race board and the class board have to be read together.
Tier list FAQ
What is the best race in Pixel Lineage?
Destructoid’s Race EVO list puts Nightborne, Celestine and Vesper in S. There is no official best race. Stop on any Mythic; stop on Stonekin if you locked Fist.
What is the best class in Pixel Lineage?
Warrior for a first hero (highest HP and defense, first-hit shield). After that: Mage for spells, Thief for crits, Bard for parties, Archer as an all-rounder, Fist with Stonekin.
Is this PvE or PvP?
PvE / dungeon runs. Pixel Lineage’s published mode is floor-based co-op. We do not invent a PvP ranking.
