Your Race in Haze Seas is the passive backbone of your entire build. Unlike Devil Fruits, swords and Fighting Styles — which you can swap freely — your race grants permanent stat bonuses and unique abilities that shape how you move, survive and fight. This guide covers all seven races, their V1 and V2 passives, how to unlock the powerful V2 upgrades, and which races sit at the top of the tier list.
You receive your first race by spinning at the start menu when you begin the game. Each race rolls at a different rarity, and you can use Race Spins (earned in-game or from codes) to reroll until you land the one you want. Once you reach the endgame you can then evolve your race into its far stronger V2 form.
How to Get Race V2
Unlocking a Race V2 requires Level 2200 to start the quest, followed by a three-step questline: defeat a Sea Beast, collect 50 Chests from around the map, and defeat the Zenith Boss. After finishing the quests you pay 1,000,000 Beli plus 100 Gems to unlock the V2 variant. The quest can be repeated to unlock V2 for any other race you own.
Haze Seas Race Tier List
Here’s how the races stack up based on their passive bonuses and how much they contribute to a strong build. Dragonborne and D.Clan lead the pack, but the best race for you also depends on whether you run a Devil Fruit — Fishborne, for example, jumps in value for fruit users thanks to its Water Immunity.
| Tier | Race |
|---|---|
| S | Dragonborne, D.Clan |
| A | Beastborne, Skyborne, Fishborne, Demon |

All Races
Human
Tier: B
Human is the default, well-rounded race. Its speed boost when low on health is great for clutch escapes, and the V2 Observation Dodge adds a free automatic dodge that shines in PvP.
V1 passive: +25% Walkspeed under 70% HP
V2 passive: +50% Walkspeed under 70% HP, +1 Observation Dodge
Beastborne
Tier: A
Beastborne is the go-to race for aggressive, high-mobility players. The generous walkspeed and stamina bonuses let you dash and combo relentlessly, making it a top PvP pick.
V1 passive: +20% Walkspeed, +5% Stamina
V2 passive: +50% Walkspeed, +10% Stamina
Skyborne
Tier: A
Skyborne is built for aerial control and traversal. The V2 glide is genuinely game-changing for island-hopping and staying safe above melee-only enemies.
V1 passive: +50% boost on first Skywalk
V2 passive: Glide ability (hold space to fall 2x slower), first Skywalk is 2x as powerful
Fishborne
Tier: A
Fishborne is the best race for Devil Fruit users bar none — its V2 grants Water Immunity, removing the biggest downside of eating a fruit. Add fast swimming and a post-water speed burst and it’s incredible for sea travel.
V1 passive: +50% Swim Speed
V2 passive: 2x Swim Speed, 2x Walkspeed for 4s after leaving water, Water Immunity for Fruit users
Demon
Tier: A
Demon is a sustain-focused race that heals you as you deal damage. The V2 hellfire dash adds passive damage, making it excellent for long grinding sessions and duels of attrition.
V1 passive: 2.5% Life Steal
V2 passive: 3% Life Steal, +10% chance to summon a damaging hellfire circle on dash
Dragonborne
Tier: S
Dragonborne stacks bonus health and regen with strong mobility, giving it one of the best all-round passive packages. The extra survivability makes it a favourite for both bossing and PvP.
V1 passive: +10% Health, +10% Health Regen, +25% boost on first Skywalk
V2 passive: +10% Health, Glide ability (hold space to fall 2x slower)
D.Clan
Tier: S
D.Clan is the prestige race, being the only one that natively unlocks Conqueror’s Haki. Combined with health and stamina bonuses and a cheaper Conqueror’s cost on V2, it’s a top-tier choice for advanced players.
V1 passive: +5% Health, +5% Stamina, unlocks Conqueror’s Haki (costs 250 stamina)
V2 passive: +10% Health, +10% Stamina, Conqueror’s costs 50 less stamina (200)
