re: Best race

I really dont think that there is any single best race. Each race has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Elves are definitely the most popular. They are fast, and have the very handy ability to regenerate health when not taking damage. Because of this, they are great for hit and run tactics using teleport and wired reflexes. Their natural regen makes them the only race, in my opinion, that can really use the wired speed boost efficiently.

Trolls are the tanks of the game. If you want to stand in front of people and simply out gun them, then this is your race. Just grab a minigun and a tree of life and you can take just about anything head to head. Trolls gain defense and lose speed as they take damage, making the SMG fairly useless against a troll.

Humans dont have any real noteable abilities in game other than the lack of an essence penalty for techs, and an extra $500 at the start of each game. They have the second fastest speed in the game, and second most health. Humans can fill just about any roll in the game, but if you dont out think your opponent, then you will always be at a disadvantage.

Finally, my personal favorite is the Dwarf. Dwarves have the most essence out of any race, but their essence regeneration is about half of the other races. This makes spells like summon, strangle, and resurrect, which all tie up a specific ammount of essence after they are cast, and until they wear off, easier to handle for a Dwarf. They also have the handy ability to absorb essence from things around them. A Dwarf is almost immune to strangle, and can simply absorb his own strangle after combat to free back up his essence. They are also useful for clearing a path theough enemy strangle when they are trying to block the artifact or othe important pathways with strangle. Dwarves can also kill a summon by simply standing next to it for a moment. You should be careful though, because a summon will have time to attack you once when it sees you, and before it dies from your absorbtion. Finally, by standing close to enemies, you can stop an elf from teleporting away or a Troll from hardening. They also have the handy ability of not being able to be killed by a single sniper shot, even to the head, and that their essence absorbing can alert them to an enemy, making it more difficult to make them bleed out with a sword. They are limited, however by their lack of speed and very slow essence regen(assuming there is no source nearby to absorb from.) One final note is that a Dwarf with Smoke mapped to a button will have virtually no essence regeneration.

Each of the races has their own strategic roles that can be filled in many ways, based on the equipment and spells that you choose for your play style. There is also almost always a way around any given race if you play your strategies right. I really like the balance that was put into the game, and I think the developes were very effective in making each race unique and enjoyable in their own ways.

re: Best race

I personaly think draws IM a great magic user with the drawf you never run out of essence the - point is that It reloads slow but when you stand next to essence,your team members,opponents believe me you almost never run of essence

2 my next one is elf I always use wired+katana and teleport did I mis something no thats it it has less health but If you hide you can regenate yeah! its faster but when you use wired reflect It takes 3 essence points soo You dont HAVE ALOT OVER FOR OTHER STUF iF YOU SUMMON OR REVIVE YOU DONT HAVE ANY YOU CAN ONLY STRANGE but if your the dwarf then jes:D you have alot over soo thats why DWARF BETTER:D

re: Best race

first of all, canon, all u need to do is answer the question, not write an essay lol.

i think elfs are the best i hate dwarfs, i swear when dwarfs on my team come up and steal my essence (im an elf and a lot is missing when i rivive/use glider and wired) i shoot the *bleep*ers until they die. LITTLE SH*TS!!.

as for magic i usually use glider, gust and rez. i sometimes use other stuff like wired or smartlink.

re: Best race

elves or humans id say elves are great for health regen but humans can really battle it out trolls are just to bulky to slow and dwarves just dont have the health or the height i reckon but trolls arent that tall either belive it or not

re: Best race

My personal favorite is the humans because of the fact they take no penalty for tech. This makes a considerable enemy or ally. Any tech besides anti magic generator are great. this in addition to a weapon are great for an early lead in the game.
