Your race in Blox Fruits is half your build. It controls your passive — Cyborg pulls health from drops, Ghoul lifesteals on M1, Shark gets damage reduction near water. So if you spawned in as Skypiean and just stayed there, you are leaving 15–30% of your character's power sitting on the table untouched.
I've spent a lot of rerolls figuring this system out. This guide is the complete manual: every cost, the actual probabilities (they are not evenly distributed — most guides gloss over this), and the race you should actually be targeting in the current patch.
How rerolling works
You reroll at one of two NPCs, or through the Robux shop:
- Mysterious Scientist at the Mansion in Underwater City (Sea 2) — costs 5,000,000 Beli or 1,500 Fragments.
- Tort at the Kingdom of Rose docks — costs 3,000 Fragments flat.
- Robux shop — instant single reroll for 90 Robux.
The Mysterious Scientist Beli option is the move for new players with more Beli than fragments. Fragment option is for players deep into Sea 2+ who have been grinding raids. Robux is for endgame players who have already burned 5+ rolls without hitting what they need and just want to be done.
Reroll odds (current as of April 2026)
Here is the part most guides skip. The chances are not evenly spread — some races are weighted significantly lower:
| Race | Reroll chance |
|---|---|
| Human | 30% |
| Skypiean | 25% |
| Mink | 20% |
| Fishman | 15% |
| Cyborg | 5% |
| Ghoul | 5% |
| Angel | ~3% rare drop |
| Shark | event-only |
Cyborg and Ghoul sit at roughly 5% each. That means a lot of players spend 30–50 rerolls just trying to land one of them. I have seen it take 80+ rolls. Go in with realistic expectations — it is a long road if you are targeting either of those two.
Best race in 2026 by playstyle
The meta has settled down post-Sea 4. Here is the current consensus I have seen across high-level play:
| Playstyle | Best race | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PvP duels | Ghoul | Innate lifesteal on M1, scaling damage at low HP |
| PvP team-fight | Cyborg | Pulls fragments from kills, scales with raid damage |
| PvE / grinding | Shark | 60% damage reduction in water, raid-friendly |
| Solo flex | Cyborg | Best all-round |
| Speed-running content | Mink | V4 speed buff is unmatched for travel |
Honestly, if you are not chasing a specific niche, Cyborg V4 is the answer. Ghoul V4 is the better pick if you live in 1v1 PvP. Everything else is viable but you are objectively giving something up compared to those two.
V2, V3, V4 — what each upgrade actually gives you
Race upgrades unlock in stages:
- V2 — first major buff, unlocked at level 950 via the Mysterious Scientist quest. Takes roughly 30 minutes solo. Buffs your race's signature ability meaningfully.
- V3 — Ghost Ship raid in Sea 3, no fragment cost. About 60 minutes if you know the parkour route. This is where your race starts to feel complete.
- V4 — Sea 4 trial, dropped in December 2026. Each race has its own unique trial: Ghoul fights an Underworld Master, Shark descends to the Pearl Trench, Cyborg breaks through a fortress. Budget around 2 hours per attempt. Each race gets a different V4 awakening — this matters a lot for picking your race.
Race-by-race breakdown
Human — passive: 1.25x stamina regen. V4 unlocks Coup De Burst, which is one of the better mobility-based stuns in PvP.
Skypiean — passive: increased gliding speed. V4 unlocks Wind Wall for decent zoning. Honestly the worst race for PvE grinding — I'd reroll out of it without hesitation.
Mink — passive: 50% movement speed buff. Best race for navigating Sea 3 island-hopping. V4 makes you nearly uncatchable in open-world travel.
Fishman — passive: underwater breath plus stat buff in water. Very niche — only genuinely useful in Sea 4 underwater zones.
Cyborg — passive: regenerate health from raid drops. V4 unlocks Mecha Form (energy shield plus AoE strike). Top pick for general PvE and PvP.
Ghoul — passive: lifesteal on M1. V4 unlocks Underworld Form (red aura, +30% damage at under 50% HP). Top pick for 1v1 PvP.
Angel — rare drop from rerolling. Passive: heals allies on raid wipe. V4 unlocks Sky Wings (ranged heal-to-damage conversion). Solid support pick if your crew runs raids together.
Shark — event-only race. Passive: water damage immunity plus 60% reduction near water. V4 unlocks Hydraulic Pressure (massive AoE in water). Top pick specifically for water-heavy raids.
Strategic rerolling math
Say you have 6,000 fragments saved up and you want Cyborg. Here is what you are looking at:
- Per reroll: 1,500 fragments (Mysterious Scientist) or 90 Robux
- Cyborg chance: 5%
- Average rolls to hit: 20 (geometric mean)
- Average fragment cost: 30,000 fragments
- Average Robux cost: 1,800 Robux
If that number hurts, pivot your target to Ghoul (same 5% rate but easier to leverage without a crew) or settle for Mink as a strong budget option. There is no shame in Mink — its V4 is genuinely strong.
When to reroll vs when to stay put
Keep your race if:
- You are already Cyborg, Ghoul, or Shark (you won the lottery — do not touch it)
- You are below level 700 (race barely matters until Sea 2)
- You play casually and raids are not part of your routine
Reroll if:
- You are stuck on Skypiean and grinding Sea 3 content
- You PvP regularly and you are not Ghoul or Cyborg
- You are about to attempt your V4 trial and your race is weak for that trial type
Frequently asked questions
How many times can I reroll?
Unlimited. The NPC keeps accepting currency as long as you have it.
Do rerolls reset my V2/V3 progress?
Yes, completely. Always reroll first, then quest your upgrades.
Is the 90-Robux reroll worth it?
Only if you are time-poor. Fragment rerolling is cheaper in long-run value once you have the fragments flowing.
Can I trade for a specific race?
No. Race is account-bound. Rerolling is the only way to change it.
What race should I prioritize at low level?
Cyborg if you can land it. Otherwise Mink — its mobility makes early Sea 2 island-hopping noticeably faster.
Final pick for April 2026
Cyborg V4 for all-around play. Ghoul V4 if you are a dedicated PvP player. Start rerolling at the Mysterious Scientist using Beli, switch to fragments when Beli runs out, and only reach for Robux if you have genuinely done 30+ rerolls and need to stop suffering through the RNG.
