Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my race after character creation?

Race changes are only possible in the Crimson (after losing all lives) by paying Robux to reroll. Choose your race carefully as it affects your entire playthrough. Different Rogueblox races offer fundamentally different gameplay experiences.

Which race has the most lives?

Phantom is the only race that starts with 4 lives instead of 3. This extra life makes Phantom one of the most sought-after Rogueblox races for permadeath survival, though it has a low 5% roll rate.

How do I get exclusive races like Vampire?

Exclusive races are sub-races obtained by finding specific NPCs and providing required materials. For example, Vampire requires approaching a certain character with specific items. These enhance your existing race rather than replacing it.

What's the best race for magic builds?

Elf is the best race for magic builds among Rogueblox races. It provides mana affinity, faster mana charging, slower mana consumption, and starts with +2 Orderly alignment, making it perfect for Mage and Cleric builds.

Are rare races always better than common ones?

Not necessarily! While rare Rogueblox races like Phantom and Nomad have powerful abilities, common races like Human and Elf are excellent for beginners and specific builds. The "best" race depends on your playstyle and experience level.

Do race progressions reset when I die?

Race progression abilities (like Phantom's Fright or Elf's magic armor) are tied to character age in days. When you lose a life and respawn, your day counter continues, so you keep your progression abilities as long as your character survives.
