If you’re new to Blue Heater 2, one of the first choices you’ll make is picking your race, and if you’re like most players, you’ve probably sat there reading race bonuses like they were fine print on a shady mobile game ad. No worries. My guide breaks down what each race actually does, who it’s best for, which ones give you the biggest edge early and late game, and of course, my personal top pick. Let’s break it down.
Best Races & Complete Race Guide
Each race in Blue Heater 2 gives a unique passive ability. These might seem minor at first glance, but they can really boost your performance depending on your class, build, and playstyle. Some are great for solo grinding. Others shine in team play or magic-heavy setups.

Now, let’s go through all of races, and I’ll tell you which ones are actually worth picking.
Demon – For Survivors and Solo Gods
- Bonus: +5% HP on every kill
- Playstyle Match: All classes, especially melee
- Why It’s Good: Flat-out the best passive for survivability. Works in any build. It turns you into a walking vampire that can chain kill mobs and walk away with more health than you started.
- Recommended For: Solo players, bosses, aggressive classes, PvE grinders
Pick Demon if: You want the safest, most reliable race in the game.
Enlightened – You’re A Wizard Harry
- Bonus: +5% Mana on kill
- Playstyle Match: Magic users (Staff, Scythe), hybrids
- Why It’s Good: Keeps your mana bar from crying. Great for spellcasters who like to spam skills without chugging potions every 2 mobs.
- Recommended For: Mages, Scythe users, hybrid builds that burn MP fast
Pick Enlightened if: You love casting and want to nuke without worrying about MP.
Fenris – Crits and Whole Lotta Crits
- Bonus: +10% Crit rate for 5s after kill (10s cooldown)
- Playstyle Match: Dagger users, fast DPS
- Why It’s Good: Perfect for burst damage setups. Crit builds thrive with this, especially in mob chains or PvP skirmishes.
- Recommended For: Assassin/Dagger users, fast-hitting melee
Pick Fenris if: You’re addicted to seeing big red crit numbers flying across the screen.
Elf – The “Team Player”
- Bonus: Heal 10% HP when healing others
- Playstyle Match: Support classes
- Why It’s Good: If you’re playing healer, this adds a bit of sustain for you too. Not super helpful if you’re soloing, though.
- Recommended For: Dedicated staff/healing builds, co-op players
Pick Elf if: You’re the designated healer in your friend group (and don’t want to die helping them).
Currently, healing isn’t meta because… well, there’s only one real healing spell. But if support builds become more viable later, Elf might rise in rank. Right now: niche and situational.
Nekorata – The Runner
- Bonus: +50% stamina regen rate
- Playstyle Match: All classes
- Why It’s Good: Lets you dodge, sprint, and spam movement skills more often. Doesn’t directly boost damage or healing though.
- Recommended For: Kiting classes, PvP dodgers, mobility builds
Pick Nekorata if: You’re always on the move and want to outmaneuver everyone.
Lapin – The Jumper
- Bonus: Double jump doesn’t consume stamina
- Playstyle Match: Niche boss fights
- Why It’s Okay: This is one of those “feels good” bonuses, not “powerful” ones. Situationally useful in vertical or dodgy fights.
- Recommended For: Parkour enthusiasts, boss rushers
Pick Lapin if: You just wanna jump forever and look stylish doing it.
Human – The Gold Digger
- Bonus: +25% Gold drop rate
- Playstyle Match: Technically all, but not helpful early
- Why It’s Mid: Gold mostly comes from selling loot, not monster drops. Not worth picking for combat.
- Recommended For: Market flippers, collectors, alt accounts
Pick Human if: You care more about fashion and funds than fighting.

Wrap-Up: So, Which Race Is The Best?
Alright, let’s bring it all together. If you’re still stuck staring at the race selection screen, here’s the truth: there’s no “wrong” pick, but there is a better one depending on how you play. Some races are niche, some are fun-but-mid, and a few are just straight-up strong no matter your build. Personally? I think Demon is the best race.
Why? Because I solo everything. Whether I’m farming mobs, doing quests, or charging into boss fights, that sweet 5% HP on every kill just keeps me going. It’s the perfect safety net for solo players, like having a mini healer in your back pocket. You stay alive longer, waste fewer potions, and can grind for hours without blinking.
But hey, if you’re a magic main, Enlightened might be more your speed. If you’re a crit-chasing rogue, Fenris technically has your back… but between us, I’ve tried it, and I just don’t think it holds up. End of the day, it really comes down to your playstyle, go with what clicks for you.
