Races
All Pixel Lineage races and their evolutions: Human, Oni, Dullahan and Archon passives, Race Evo requirements, reroll advice and how to reach each stage without wasting tomes.
Introduction
Races are the foundation of every Pixel Lineage build. Before classes or gear, your race decides the passives you carry into every run, the evolution path you can follow and the reroll decisions that shape your account. Race Evo, the game's headline system, lets a race evolve into a stronger form with improved stats and abilities, while rare and secret races offer higher ceilings at the cost of harder unlocks. Because rerolling a race costs Tomes of Ancestry and reroll tokens that are scarce early, picking the right race the first time matters more than most new players expect. This hub covers every race we can verify, their passives, how to reach each race-evo stage, and when a reroll is worth the tokens.

Core Mechanics
The Pixel Lineage race system works in two layers: the base race you roll and the evolution path you take. Each race carries a passive that shapes how it fights, from aggressive melee-leaning options to flexible all-rounders, and Race Evo lets that base form evolve into a stronger stage with better stats and abilities. Evolution is gated behind requirements such as materials or progression milestones rather than being automatic. Players who dislike their rolled race can reroll using Tomes of Ancestry or dedicated reroll tokens earned from codes and milestones. Because the passive is permanent until a reroll, the race decision sits underneath every other choice you make about class, traits and sigils.
Advantages
Choosing a race deliberately gives you a passive that works with your class instead of against it. A race whose passive reinforces your class theme multiplies the value of every trait and sigil you later stack, while a mismatched race forces you to patch weaknesses. Race Evo also rewards planning: because evolution requirements are specific, a player who picks a race with a clear evolution path unlocks a stronger form sooner than one who rolled randomly. Finally, understanding which races are common, rare or secret lets you judge whether a reroll is worth the tokens or whether you should simply build around what you already have.
Challenges
The race system is the most punishing part of early progression in Pixel Lineage. Reroll tokens and Tomes of Ancestry are limited, so a bad first roll can hold an account back for days. Many specific race stats and rare-race drop chances are community-reported rather than officially published, so expectations built on a video may not match your experience. Evolution requirements are also easy to misjudge, and a race that looks strong at base can demand heavy materials to reach the form that actually performs. Roll with realistic expectations and confirm requirements in game before investing. Confirm evolution requirements and reroll supply before committing, and treat every community ranking as a starting point only.

Quick Tips
Reroll your race before investing in a class, not after. The race passive sits underneath your class and traits, so fixing the foundation first prevents you from having to rebuild a class path around a race you eventually replace anyway. Check the evolution requirements in game before you invest, because a race that looks strong at base can demand heavy materials later.
Plan the evolution path before you commit. Two races can look similar at base while only one has an evolution route you can realistically reach, and Race Evo is where the real power gain lives, so check requirements in game first. Keep the reroll token you are saving for a race and never spend it on traits, since fixing the foundation comes first.
Do not chase secret races on a young account. The unlocks are steep and community-reported, and the farming you would spend chasing them is better used stabilising one working race, class and sigil setup that can actually clear content. Read the passive on your current race before rerolling; many players reroll a perfectly usable race out of impatience.
