All races / Human

Human Race in The Veil

Gains 13 maximum HP per prestige instead of the normal 10, so its advantage grows over time.

Human effect

Ambitious raises the maximum-HP gain per prestige from 10 to 13: an extra 3 HP for each prestige level, per the developer's September 12 patch notes. Before that patch the values were 25 and 30.

What the numbers come to

The gap is +3 maximum HP per prestige, so the race is worth +15 HP at prestige 5, +30 at prestige 10 and +60 at prestige 20. At prestige 1 it is +3 HP, which is close to nothing. This is the only race on the list whose value is a function of how long you have played.

The September 12 patch made it noticeably weaker, and the direction matters more than the numbers. Per-prestige HP dropped from 25/30 to 10/13, so Human's edge per prestige shrank from +5 to +3, a 40% cut. Anyone quoting this race off a pre-September-12 guide is overrating it by that margin.

Measured as a share, Ambitious gives 30% more HP from prestige than any other race gets. That share never changes. Only the absolute number grows.

Best build fit

Long-term survivability and new players who want a simple passive with no rotation or timing requirement.

Tradeoffs to check

The benefit starts small and supplies no damage, luck, movement or class synergy.

Human compared with Obelite

Obelite's +8% resistance and Human's bonus HP both reduce how often you die, but resistance is a percentage of an already-scaling pool and works from the first minute, while Human needs dozens of prestiges to reach a comparable effective size. Human wins on nothing here except never requiring a decision.

Open the Obelite profile for the other side of that trade.

When to reroll Human

Reroll as soon as a reroll is cheap and your build has a direction. Human is the correct race to hold while you are undecided and the wrong one to keep once you are not.

A reroll replaces your race rather than adding a second one. The steps are on the race index.

What is not confirmed about Human

• Whether prestige levels cap, which sets the ceiling on this race's entire value.
• Whether the September 12 rebalance is final. This line has already been changed once during beta, making it the most likely number on this page to move again.
