Your race is a passive stat layer under your weapon and style, not a separate combat kit. You compare races by the percents they add and by whether the spec you want even sells without that race. Some you roll in Lineage Town. The later ones hide behind a special item or quest.

Reroll Races
Spend a Race Reroll at the Race Reroll NPC in Lineage Town. The item drops from Rare or higher chests, or at 4% from any mob or boss. Human through Shinigami each have their own chance. Mythical is one shared 0.25% bucket, so Player, Curse, Eminence, Archon, Demi God, and Quincy all compete for that same rare hit.

Exclusive Races
These never come from the reroll desk. Slime, Frozen Sakura, and Glamoth Essence are consume-item rolls that can miss. Vessel, Enlightened, and Demon are item hand-ins.

Pair the race to your spec
Late damage still comes from the style or weapon you bought. The race sits under that kit as extra percents, and sometimes as the shop key the seller will not take without.
| If you want | Race to chase | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Raiden | Archon | The seller requires it |
| Yhwach | Quincy | The seller requires it |
| Gilgamesh | Demi God | Mastery requires it |
| Rimuru | Slime | The seller requires it |
| Firefly | Glamoth | The seller requires it |
| Miyabi | Frost Kitsune | Mastery requires it |
| Sukuna (Shinjuku) | Vessel | Required for that spec |
| Aizen | True Shinigami | Required, and you need Shinigami first |
| Kokushibo | Demon | Required |
| Shadow mastery | Eminence | Mastery asks for it |
Player, Curse, Enlightened, and Monarch still add a named bonus (Player's Dagger, Sukuna, Gojo Shinjuku, Shadow's Dagger) even when no seller blocks you. Those are bonuses for a kit you already use, not shop keys.
What to keep on the way up
Most rerolls land Human, which does nothing. That is fine while you are still learning islands.
Keep Elf if gold and gems are the bottleneck. Keep Vampire once you want any combat race and you have not landed a better one. Hold Shinigami if Hueco Mundo is next, because True Shinigami will not start without it.
Do not empty your Race Reroll pile hunting a Mythical if the spec you actually want is exclusive. Those two grinds do not share a desk.
Rolls that can fail
Slime, Frozen Sakura, and Glamoth Essence can miss. Farm extras and expect to burn a few. Hand-ins and the Hollow kill quest just work once you have the requirements.
Common mistakes
- Trying to roll Slime, Demon, or Glamoth at the Race Reroll NPC. That desk cannot give them.
- Rerolling Shinigami away right before the Hueco Mundo quest.
- Treating one Slime item or one Frozen Sakura as a sure unlock.
- Parking on Elf during combat islands. It only pays you. It does not hit for you.
FAQ
How do you change your race in Lineage Piece?
Go to the Race Reroll NPC in Lineage Town and spend a Race Reroll item. That desk only gives reroll races. Exclusive races need their own item, hand-in, or quest instead.
How do you get Race Reroll items?
They drop from Rare or higher chests, or at 4% from any mob or boss. Take them to the Race Reroll NPC in Lineage Town.
Can you get Slime, Glamoth, or Demon from a Race Reroll?
No. Exclusive races are not on that NPC. Slime uses the Slime item from Rimuru, Glamoth uses Glamoth Essence, and Demon is a Muzan hand-in with Blue Spider Lilies.
What is the best race in Lineage Piece?
There is no single best race. Chase the one that unlocks or buffs the spec you already want, such as Quincy for Yhwach, Glamoth for Firefly, or Slime for Rimuru.
How do you get the Slime race?
Farm the Slime item from Rimuru on Fossil Island, then use it. Each use has a 5% chance to grant Slime. You need Slime before the Rimuru seller will complete the purchase.
How do you get True Shinigami?
Roll Shinigami first, then talk to the True Shinigami NPC in Hueco Mundo and kill 500 Hollows. Aizen requires True Shinigami.
How do you get Glamoth?
Buy Glamoth Essence from the Armor Scrap shop for 50 Armor Scrap, then use it. Each use has a 10% chance to grant Glamoth. The Firefly seller requires this race.
How do you get the Demon race?
Give 10 Blue Spider Lilies to the Muzan NPC. The flowers spawn on Fossil Island, Shinjuku Showdown, Lineage Town, Deeproot Jungle, and Legend's Arena. Kokushibo requires Demon.
How do you get Frost Kitsune?
Use a Frozen Sakura from the Miyabi banner. Each use has a 10% chance to grant Frost Kitsune. Miyabi mastery requires this race.
How do you get Vessel and Enlightened?
Both NPCs are on Shinjuku Showdown. Vessel wants 20 True Sukuna Fingers and is required for Sukuna (Shinjuku). Enlightened wants 2 True Six Eyes and pairs with Gojo (Shinjuku).
