Best Races in Abyss Early Game

Monkey is the Best Early On

Abyss - Monkey Race

When just starting out, Monkey carries the highest early value due to its 10% Speed bonus, allowing you to move around Forgotten Deep faster while your Tubes and Artifacts are still low-tier.

Additionally, it carries a welcome 5% XP Gain, allowing you access to Artifact Slots faster if you farm fish using the Monkey Race.

Coral Works as a Starting Alternative

Abyss - Coral Race

Alternatively, Coral is a great alternative as it provides you with 10% more Oxygen, which is deeply needed in Early Game to ensure that you are able to farm and fish out for longer.

Since Oxygen also serves as the game's health system, having more Oxygen directly provides you with more survivability to take hits if there are any predatory fish nearby.

Best Races in Abyss Mid Game

Spirit is the Best and Scales Well

Abyss - Spirit Race

By far, Spirit is the best option to have for mid game and even scaling into late game, boasting Cooldown reductions, 5% more cash, and a second wind passive that lets you survive deadly hits.

It is arguably the best-value race you can roll for overall if you are taking ease of acquisition into account.

Narwhal is Good as a Damage Alternative

Abyss - Narwhal Race

If you are looking for a more Damage-oriented Race, Narwhal provides both Speed and Damage stats, as well as a chance to deal double damage, making it more valuable if you are planning to spec for pure damage.

Best Races in Abyss Late Game

Vampire Squid is the Best-Value Option

Abyss - Vampire Squid Race

Overall, Vampire Squid is the best and more accessible option for late game, as it has the longest aggressive survivability option, allowing you to keep yourself topped up on Oxygen if you stack damage and live off of its Blood Siphon passive.

Vampire Squid also provides a bonus 20% to Oxygen, allowing you to completely forego it in terms of Artifact stats and letting you stack on more damage to abuse Blood Siphon with.

Shark if You Prefer Damage

Abyss - Shark Race

Shark works as a damage-oriented farming option due to its bonus Cash, Cooldown, and Damage stat bonuses, along with two passives that allow you to dance around the 30% Oxygen mark more.

This is recommended over Vampire Squid if you value farming in short bursts rather than long marathons.

Shark Race Guide and Skills

Kraken is the Best Overall

If you can get your hands on it, Kraken is the overall best Race you can roll for in Abyss with its XP, Cash, and Weight passives, allowing you to farm effectively, as well as its two unique passives.

While it starts off slow, Kraken's scaling damage passive allows you to build up towards being a monster within Abyss's deep waters if given time, and that is before Artifact, Gun, and Tube stats.
