Human: a familiar role-playing starting point
Official lore presents humans as adaptable and inventive. Choose that identity if it suits the character you want to play, but keep lore separate from mechanical benefits. Adaptability is not evidence of an experience bonus, balanced starting statistics, or an advantage with every class.
Minotaur: the bull-headed character fantasy
Minotaurs have a distinctive horned, bull-headed appearance, and their official background emphasizes strength and tactical intelligence. That is useful for deciding whether the character concept appeals to you. It is not a verified calculation of health, stagger resistance or tanking performance.
Elf: available, without a numerical ranking
Elves are explicitly included in the current playable roster. This overview does not assign them bonus mana, movement speed or faster spell recovery: those details need current ability or attribute evidence. If you are choosing for a specific mechanic, compare what the game actually shows instead of relying on familiar fantasy stereotypes.
Separate appearance, abilities and class choice
Race is part of character identity, while class is a separate combat choice. For a first character, our suggestion is to shortlist the identity you like and then inspect how its abilities fit the discipline you want to play. Do not convert a lore description into a mandatory race-class pairing.
For a mechanics-led decision, make a small comparison from the descriptions visible in your own game. Separate an ability's stated effect from your interpretation of where it might help. If a number or condition is absent, leave it unknown instead of filling it with a value from another RPG. For a role-playing decision, appearance and background may be sufficient reasons on their own. You do not need a claim of superior damage to justify a character you want to play.
Coverage checked September 16, 2026. Promotional material describes eight races, but the developer's current Early Access statement lists three. No claim is made here that all advertised races are selectable, or that a confirmed race is universally the strongest.
