Abyss Races Tier List

Races fundamentally define your character’s potential in Abyss, offering unique passive abilities and stat bonuses that scale throughout your journey. Based on my extensive testing and community feedback, here’s how every race stacks up.

S-Tier Races – Game-Changing Power

Kraken Race (Mythic)

Stats: +20% Weight, +15% XP, +15% Cash
Special Skills:
- Endless Depths: Every fish caught increases Damage by 0.04% permanently (caps at 50%)
- Leviathan’s Legacy: After dying, regenerate 100% oxygen and deal 300% AoE damage (8-minute cooldown)
Why S-Tier: The permanent damage scaling makes Kraken unmatched for long-term progression. That extra life every 8 minutes lets you push limits safely, and the stat boosts accelerate all aspects of gameplay.

Sea Angel Race (Mythic)

Stats: +10% Speed, +25% Oxygen, +15% Cash
Special Skills:
- Last Breath Sprint: Below 20% oxygen, sprinting costs no extra oxygen
- Kinetic Wrath: Gain bonus damage equal to 35% of movement speed
- Abyssal Focus: Below 50% oxygen, catching minigame speed increases (scales down to 20% oxygen)
Why S-Tier: Sea Angel offers incredible synergy between speed, damage, and oxygen management. The ability to sprint for free at low oxygen creates amazing farming efficiency, while the damage scaling with speed makes every upgrade more valuable.

A-Tier Races – Strong Contenders

Shark Race (Legendary)

Stats: +20% Damage, -0.4s Cooldown
Special Skills:
- Blood Frenzy: Below 30% oxygen, deal 30% more damage
- Sea Sprint: Tube boost consumes 50% less oxygen
Why A-Tier: Raw DPS powerhouse that excels in combat situations. The low-oxygen damage bonus requires careful management but provides incredible burst potential when executed correctly.

Vampire Squid Race (Legendary)

Stats: +20% Oxygen, +10% XP
Special Skills:
- Blood Siphon: When catching fish, regenerate 10% of damage dealt as oxygen (15-second cooldown)
Why A-Tier: The lifesteal mechanic provides unmatched sustain, allowing for extended farming sessions without returning to surface. Perfect for players who prefer long, uninterrupted deep-sea runs.

Anglerfish Race (Epic)

Stats: +8% Cash, -0.2s Cooldown, +12% Damage
Special Skills:
- Hunter’s Instinct: 20% chance for double drops when catching fish
- Abyssal Light: Illuminates dark surroundings
Why A-Tier: The double drops ability significantly accelerates progression, while the illumination provides utility in dark areas. Solid all-around choice for farming-focused players.

B-Tier Races – Situational but Viable

Crab Race (Epic)

Stats: +15% Oxygen, +15% Weight, +5% XP
Special Skills:
- Iron Shell: 25% chance to absorb incoming attacks completely
Analysis: Excellent defensive capabilities with strong stat boosts. The damage absorption provides consistent value, though it lacks the explosive potential of higher tiers.

Narwhal Race (Rare)

Stats: +8% Speed, +15% Weight
Special Skills:
- Piercing Horn: 10% chance to deal double damage
Analysis: Decent damage potential with good mobility. The double damage chance provides nice burst opportunities, though it’s less reliable than guaranteed bonuses.

C-Tier Races – Early Game Options

Spirit Race (Rare)

Stats: -0.3s Cooldown, +8% Cash
Special Skills:
- Last Breath: After dying, regenerate 30% oxygen (3-minute cooldown)
Analysis: The safety net is useful for beginners, but the overall stat package falls off quickly compared to higher-tier options.

Cyclops Race (Uncommon)

Stats: -0.2s Cooldown, +10% Damage
Analysis: Simple damage boost that helps early progression but lacks the scaling and utility of better races.

D-Tier Races – Replace Quickly

Human, Elf, Coral, Poop Races (Common)

Analysis: These races offer minimal stat bonuses and no meaningful special abilities. They’re purely starting options that should be replaced as soon as possible with better rerolls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best overall combination in Abyss?

The Kraken race with Ruined Gun, Ruined Tube, and S-Tier artifacts (Infernal Eye + Wraith Flower + Eternal Crystal) offers the best overall performance for endgame content. However, Sea Angel with speed-focused artifacts provides better farming efficiency for most players.

How do I get more race rerolls?

Farm Star Shards by completing achievements and progressing through the game. Regular rerolls cost 100 Star Shards, while Lucky Rerolls (with better chances for high-tier races) cost 450 Star Shards.

Should I prioritize guns or tubes first?

Focus on guns first for early game progression, as better weapons allow you to catch more valuable fish faster. Once you have a decent mid-game gun (Wasted Gun or better), prioritize tube upgrades to access deeper areas.

What’s the fastest way to earn money in Abyss?

Use a money-focused build with Sea Angel or Kraken race, The King’s Fortune artifact, and high-damage guns. Focus on catching high-value fish in areas you can access comfortably, and always sell fish at peak times when prices are higher.

How do artifacts work exactly?

Artifacts are permanent stat boosts obtained by cracking geodes (found randomly while fishing). Each artifact has three tiers that provide progressively better stats. You can equip multiple artifacts, but each artifact slot can only hold one artifact at a time.

Is it worth keeping lower-tier items?

Generally no. Sell old weapons and tubes as soon as you can afford better ones. The only exception is keeping certain race combinations in different slots for specific situations (like keeping Anglerfish for dark areas).

What’s the best way to progress quickly?

Follow the optimal progression path: Beginner’s Gun → Air Rifle Gun → Wasted Gun → Morveth’s Treasure Gun → Lost Spirit Gun → Ruined Gun. Focus on one weapon upgrade at a time rather than buying every available option.

Final Thoughts

Building the perfect loadout in Abyss takes time and experimentation, but this tier list should give you a clear path forward. Remember that the “best” combination often depends on your playstyle – some players prefer speed farming, while others enjoy deep exploration.

The key is to focus on one upgrade at a time rather than trying to buy everything available. Save your money for significant jumps in power, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different artifact combinations until you find what works best for you.

Keep this guide bookmarked as I’ll update it regularly with new content, balance changes, and meta shifts. The world of Abyss is constantly evolving, and staying on top of the tier list will ensure you’re always using the most effective equipment available.

Happy diving, and may your catches be legendary! 🌊
