Ranking Reasons

Race Stats

Dragonborn
Legendary

• The best Greatsword/Scythe race with near-best DPS due to the skill cooldown reduction and fire damage
• That said while you have more HP, you have less mobility and no lifesteal so I ranked Shadow higher
• Still Dragonborn is the second-best race in the game and if you have high base Fire damage it can compete with SB DPS wise

+15% Skill Cooldown Speed
+25% Max Health
+20% Scythe Damage
+10% Fire Damage
+20% Greatsword Damage

Djinn
Fabled (Epic)

• The third best race in the game and the second-best for Scythe with a great mix of DPS boosts
• I value skill cooldown reduction over health and speed so I put it above Lunarian

+20% Scythe Damage
+25% Dash Distance

Lunarian
Fabled (Epic)

• Competes for the third-best race in the game if you have base Fire damage

• That said Djinn has cooldowns which can out-DPS Lunarian in duels

+10% Movement Speed
+10% Max Health
+20% Katana Damage
+10% Fire Damage
