The Veil Races & Ability Traits Guide

When evaluating The Veil races, pick a trait whose passive supports actions you perform constantly in combat. Goblin's 10% cooldown reduction and Underling's 15% cast damage reward regular spell rotations, whereas Skeleton's summon damage bonus provides zero benefit if you rely purely on standard melee weapons.

Among The Veil races, Human offers steady survivability during early progression because its extra 5 HP per Prestige level widens your margin for error against dungeon burst damage. Wraith offers an occasional 10% chance to ignore incoming damage, but it is not a predictable block and never replaces learning enemy timing.

A recorded character creation panel from a September 6 showcase displayed the ten-race creation distribution listed below. This panel represents a historical recording snapshot from that specific build; it does not represent current character creation or Stylist reroll pools.

The permanent regular race Vampire added on October 10, as well as quest-unlocked races like Shrouded, were not part of this September 6 snapshot. Probabilities for Vampire and active Stylist rates remain unlisted in official notes.

To change your race on an existing character, locate the Stylist NPC in town. Interacting with the Stylist opens the race reroll interface.

Before spending resources on race rerolls in The Veil, check our codes page for any announced reroll opportunities. Rerolls at the Stylist remain subject to RNG, so confirm the current menu prompts and keep your active trait if it already works well for your build.

Shrouded has a dedicated in-game questline rather than relying solely on starting creation luck. To begin progressing it, equip the Cowl and Ragged Cloth visibly with your character's face covered, then defeat 100 named Shrouded enemies.

Its signature ability, Thrice-Risen, grants a third aerial jump. Combined with Hollowed (+10% speed, +10% attack speed, and -10% damage), Shrouded provides responsive positioning for evasive combat.

When comparing The Veil races, Human is a dependable pick for straightforward progression: steady Prestige health growth helps keep you alive without needing specific gear combinations. Goblin is built for active casting, cutting cooldown down-time and increasing spell damage.

Veilborne was reworked in the October 10 update. Its Nightfall aura now grants +15% universal damage and +15% speed, and the official update log confirmed Veilborne received a new racial passive, replacing earlier Duskweaver weaving mechanics. Inspect your active character screen to review the replacement passive traits.

The October 10 update added Vampire as a new permanent regular race in the core update log. Its full kit, traits, and roll chances were not detailed in the announcement.

Keep the permanent Vampire race distinct from the limited Veil-O-Ween event race. In October 10 event footage, dialogue with the witch offered a Dullahan token for 20,000 Candy; consult the active witch dialogue in-game for current event options.
