  • The Definitive Rune Slayer Species Tier List [TUNDRA & BEACH EXPANSION]

    The Definitive Rune Slayer Species Tier List [TUNDRA & BEACH EXPANSION]


    Updated on 20.6.2025. Added new species and changed order of existing ones on the tier list.

    When you create your first character in Rune Slayer, you will automatically be given a random race. While you can’t change this race (without paying Robux), it’s still important to know what each race is good or bad at. To help you decide if you need to reroll, here is our Rune Slayer Race Tier list.

    Race Tier List in Rune Slayer

    Before we begin, we want to make one thing clear: Races don’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. Even if you pull the worst race on this list, you can still play any class and be just as effective as someone who got the best race. Races are mostly for those who want to mid-max or those who want to look different. So, unless you are after a specific race or just want to look cooler, don’t stress too much over with race you get.

    S-Tier

    Race name Stats Info Chance to roll
    A Dullahan character from Rune Slayer is standing
    Dullahan
    +25% Robustness
    +25% Cold Resistance
    -20% Holy Resistance
    Dullahans are undead creatures with the power to leech life and reap souls. Their build makes them very resilient to attacks (just like a Half-Golems), while their passive and active abilities let them heal when killing enemies. They also have a chance of summoning a spectral Grim Reaper scythe, which tears down enemies. 2%
    Infernim HellBorn Passive
    Wall Climb Passive
    +10% Fire Resistance
    +1 Luck
    -5% Holy Resistance
    Additional passives based on the number of horns
    Infernals are so powerful and evil that you won’t be able to join the Holy Sect. With their passives, they can summon Hellfire no matter which class they play.
    Depening on how many horns they have, they also get additional bonuses like extra Speed or even a better Fire Attack.

    A-Tier

    Race name Stats Info Chance to roll
    Bunny Bunny Dash
    Bunny Jump
    Carrot Summoning
    As a Bunny you can dash further and jump higher. These already make you better than other races and will help you win fights.
    The Carrot Summoning is nice, but you shouldn’t rely on it, unless you have no other choice.
    4,41%
    Seraphim -5% Fire Resistance
    +10% Holy Resistance
    +1 Luck
    Additional passives based on the number of wings
    As a creature of pure good, you have more luck, and become unable to join the Demon Sect. You also get a passive based on the number of wings you have.
    Unfortunately, that’s where it becomes clear that Seraphim justn’t aren’t as good as the Infernim. You don’t get any cool attacks, you can’t fly, you just have a bit more luck, and wings that look cool.
    1%
    An Ailuran character from Rune Slayer is standing
    Ailuran
    +8% Speed Boost
    +10% Fire Resistance
    +25% Cold and Heat Resistance
    +25% Jump Height
    +15% Fall Damage Reduction
    Obviously, we had to put the Ailuran here because of their cute cat ears. Kidding aside, Ailuran move faster and jump higher than any other race in this game. This alone gives them a huge advantage when it comes to exploration and getting out of trouble quickly. 7,143%
    Vampire -15% on all stats during the day
    +20% on all stats during the Night
    You take 5% more damage from Holy attacks
    +1 Extra Luck
    You heal if you take bleed damage
    You heal 50% of your health if you cause bleed damage to your opponent
    Vampires are cool, and you can even become one without rerolling your race, however, they are only cool during the night, and it’s not always night in Rune Slayer.
    If you can live with this, you’re going to love being a Vampire.

    B-Tier

    Race name Stats Info Chance to roll
    Chiroptran -5% Wind resistance
    +5% Holy Attack
    -5% Holy Resistance
    Chiroptran Roar ability
    Chiroptrans are interesting. They are like demons, but not really. They attack with Holy magic but can also bite like vampires.
    Regardless, they look cool and they are a fun and useful race to play as.
    7,143%
    A Slime character from Rune Slayer is standing
    Slime
    -7,5% Magic Resistance
    -7,5% Fire Resistance
    +25% Immunity
    At first, slimes don’t seem that special. They are weak to magic and fire, and they don’t have any special defensive stats. However, when struck, Slime players can spawn smaller Slimes to fight for them, and can use a part of themselves to hit an opponent (works in a pinch). As a bonus, Slimes are super immune to status ailments. 5,294%
    A Half Golem character from Rune Slayer is standing
    Half Golem
    -5% Movement Speed
    +5% Damage Reduction
    +10 Maximum Weight
    +25% Robustness
    As you can imagine, Half Golems are extremely resilient. They also take a bit less damage and can carry more items. The caveat is that they move a bit slower than all other races. 5,294%
    Amphibu Swim Boost 35
    Additional Race passives
    At first, the Amphibu may seem useless with their Swim Speed, but once you unlock their Racial passives, they become a lot more reliable.
    The racial passives can give them things like higher jump, a speed boost, and even a small attack buff. You are also free to pick which one you want.
    10,714%

    C-Tier

    Race name Stats Info Chance to roll
    Ghoul +5% Magic Attack
    Ghoulish Gall ability
    Additional Racial boosts
    As a Ghoul you can attack better with Magic Attacks and you have a sneak attack, called Ghoulish Gall which can give you a jump start in a fight.
    You also get one of three Racial Upgrades which can give you a few minor stat boosts.
    14,25%
    A Human character from Rune Slayer is standing
    Human
    When under 50% Health, gain:
    +15% Damage Increase
    +15% Damage Reduction
    Humans have the ability to gain an increase in their damage output and take reduced damage if they have less than half a health bar. Otherwise, Humans can manage their hunger better than other classes and gain Focus and Mana efficiency as they level up. 14,25%
    An Elf character from Rune Slayer is standing
    Elf
    +3% Speed
    +10% Cooldown Reduction
    +10% Stealth
    Elves are nimble and elegant. While not the strongest for a tanky role, they make fantastic archers and great spellcasters. As they level, they also get extra Mana and Focus. 14,25%
    An Orc character from Rune Slayer is standing
    Orc
    +10% Health Regen
    +15% Max Hunger
    +20% Heat Resistance
    Orcs are made for battle. Their health regenerates faster, they are more resistant to heat, and they are generally suited for heavy armor and melee weapons. The tradeoff is they need to eat more than other races. 14,25%

    How to race reroll in Rune Slayer

    When you log into Rune Slayer for the first time, you’ll be assigned one of the seven available races at random. If you aren’t happy with the race you’ve been given, you can buy a Race Reroll for 150 Robux. If you’re after a specific race, such as the Dullahan, make sure you have enough Robux for a bunch of Race Rerolls because it’s going to take a while.

    As of writing this, there is no way to reroll a race after creating a character. You have to do it from the character creator.

    That’s all there is to it. Again, unless you’re trying to mid-max, remember you can get by with any race you pull. If you’re wondering which class you should pick to go with your race, check out our The Ultimate Rune Slayer Class Tier List.

  • Beach Day Preview – One Board Family

    Beach Day Preview – One Board Family


    For many people, the beach is the epidemy of rest and relaxation. The sun, sand, and ocean waves can wash away the stress of our everyday life. I’m not in that group of people. Sand and myself are mortal enemies that have been in a battle since my teenage years. Thankfully, games like Beach Day from CakePie Games exist so I don’t have to actually be on a beach to enjoy this atmosphere.

    Beach Day is a tile placement game for 1 to 5 players that’s illustrated by Ammon Anderson (Gnome Hollow) and designed by Brennan Smith and Josh Bowman. This small box game brings all the joy of the beach as you chase victory points and stay away from pesky sand.

    Beach Day tableau

    Fun in the Sun

    Each player is adding cards to their own beach tableau on their turn, chasing five global goals and their own unique goal. You’ll receive two crab cards at the start of the game, discarding one and keeping the other. This is a personal scoring goal that is unique to just you.

    Everyone starts with a single tile 2×2 card that is marked with a sea turtle in one of the corners. This sea turtle is important and can never be covered by another card.

    Beach Day draw pile

    On your turn, you can take two cards from the top of the draw pile, placing one and discarding the other to one of the two discard piles. OR, you can take and place one of the top cards on either of the discard piles. In adding a new card to your beach, you can place it adjacent to another card or overlap another previously placed card. Overlapping is generous in this game since you can cover one or more of the four squares on a card. You can never place a card diagonally adjacent or tuck a card under another previously placed card.

    Beach Activities

    On the cards in Beach Day, you’ll find beachballs, sand castles, pools of water, shells, sand dollars, and even trash. Each item on the beach has a different method of scoring based on the goal cards that were chosen at the start of the game. Beachball halves need to be paired with another half in order to be scored. Sea shells score the most when grouped in contiguous paths.

    Beach Day shell scoring

    Don’t forget about your crab card! That secret scoring criteria can be helpful in outscoring your opponent. Players will watch how each beach is being built at the table. In many of our games, the score has been tight and competitive which is exactly how we like our games.

    Since the goal cards in the game are double-sided, players can pick their favorite scoring cards each and every game. Once you get a couple games under your belt, you’ll start to enjoy some goals more than others. The game gives you the agency to just pick your favorites and run with it.

    Beach Day scoring

    After the draw pile is empty, players score based on the goal cards and crab card that each player has. The highest score wins.

    Final Thoughts

    Like a day at the beach, Beach Day is a relaxing and breezy time at the game table. The small box makes this a great game to throw into a bag or to play over a meal. It’s easy to understand how everything is scored and the placement rules are straight-forward.

    Beach Day crab objective

    Beach Day is a filler game that is going to check a lot of boxes for anyone looking for a quick game that you can take on the go. The gameplay and theme absolutely go hand-in-hand with this release.

    Beach Day is being funded through Kickstarter starting in June from CakePie Games. Check out the campaign today.

    A prototype of the game was provided for this coverage. Components and rules covered in this preview are not finalized. Read more about our preview policies at One Board Family.
