One of the first decisions you make in R.O.H.A.N.: Eternal Vengeance is choosing your race. The Class Selection Screen presents seven races, each with its own class tree, stat growth, and playstyle. This guide gives you a practical overview of all seven so you can pick the one that suits how you want to play.
Think About Playstyle First
Before clicking on a race, ask yourself:
- Do you want to deal damage, tank, support, or a mix?
- Do you prefer melee or ranged combat?
- Are you planning to focus on PvP, PvE grinding, or both?
Race determines your available classes — and your second-tier class choice (unlocked as you level) defines your endgame role. There is no wrong pick, but some races fit certain playstyles better than others.
Race Overview
| Race | Weapon Style | Class Path | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Human | One-handed weapons + shield | Defender / Guardian | Tanking, PvE, beginners |
| Elf | Magic / ranged hybrid | Varies by class | Healing, support roles |
| Half Elf | Bows, ranged physical | Ranger / Scout | Ranged DPS, kiting |
| Giant | Two-handed heavy weapons | Savage / Berserker | Melee DPS, brute force |
| Dhan | Daggers, light weapons | Rogue / Avenger | PvP burst damage, stealth |
| Dekan | Dragon-style melee | Dragon Knight / Tempest | Hybrid DPS, aggressive play |
| Dark Elf | Staves, magic | Wizard / Warlock | Magic DPS, crowd control |
Race Lore Flavour
Each race has a backstory visible on the Class Selection Screen. Here is the Human lore as an example of what to expect:
"Race ruled by Roha. Known for their pioneering spirit and diligence. Their kingdom was called Del Lagos, and their Knighthood centered around the gods. Faith and legacy were the most important values for the human Knights that wielded one handed weapons."
Every race has similar flavour text. Reading it takes a moment and gives you a feel for the culture and combat identity of each race beyond the stat sheet.
Quick Recommendations by Goal
- New to Rohan Online? Start with Human. The Defender path is forgiving, the class tree is straightforward, and tanks are always useful in group content.
- Want to grind efficiently solo? Try Giant (Berserker) or Dark Elf (Warlock) — both have strong solo damage output.
- PvP-focused? Dhan (Avenger) is a classic PvP race with high burst potential.
- Prefer ranged combat? Half Elf (Ranger/Scout) is the dedicated bow class.
- Like magic? Dark Elf covers traditional mage fantasy with Wizard and Warlock paths.
Making the Final Call
Race is permanent per character, but accounts support multiple characters — try an alt if you are unsure. When ready, head back to the character creation walkthrough to finish setup.
