#Race Choice

Although it’s overall considered weaker, I would go Elf. I currently play Human, but since I play mainly mage, it would be nice to have the movement speed and magic bonuses from being an Elf. You can also do mounted archery, which is fun in its own way.
I am human currently, and if I could choose again....Would probs still just pick human. We are slow, and don't have a true identity (we have one, its just irrelevant) But having the options to dip a toe anywhere works for me, and I have some hope that with how Mabi is updating, we will get our identity back.
The only advantage elf has right now is movement speed over the other 2 races. There is 0 difference in damage for magic.
Currently a human and i would reroll to elf. Im an alchemist main who is swapping to bow and with the racial adjustments coming to elf they will simply be better at the new archer class on the horizon. (And they would have movespeed and = dmg for alch compared to human). If you want to look at it from a meta perspective, giant is almost certainly still the best race.
Just as an add on, giants favourability in meta falls with arcana s2 release, elves are certainly the most favoured (and are currently still favoured with crashshot/ruinbow in glen).
As someone who's currently a human, I would change yo an elf. The majority of elf players I know tell me that elves have a noticeable weakness in their lower natural defensive stats, compared to giants (of course), and humans. Plus most of the elves I know aren't a fan of the current state of final shot.
But I like the fact that they have mounted archery, which is great for clearing hard mode dungeons more quickly due to never needing to dismount...and I'm just plain jealous of their move speed. Since humans are physically the slowest walking race.
As a human main, I would love to be elf.... Personally the slow human move speed gets on my nerves, even with move speed gear + wave sweeper 18, knowing that elves are inherently faster.. I can do without giant/human exclusive skills, and I like elf hide and mounted archery a lot. Though melee players probably prefer human/giant.
I might go with giant EK build bc from what I seen it seems to take a LOT less investment than magic/archery and gets even better dps and they’re so much less squishy 😭
Then again I would probably just end up choosing elf again because movement speed and mounted archery but most importantly cute aesthetic
Elf vs. Giant has been a continuous theme in the game since it's origin. Even as a human you get the choice to be aligned with one of the two. Best advice I can give is try out each race for a little bit! You get to create several different characters for a reason - pick whichever one ends up being the most fun!
Giants get some boosts to warrior/fighter and tend not to read things - unga bunga
Elves get some boosts to archery/mage and continuously have the zoomies
Humans are all arounders
All in all though, mabi is a wonderful game for the reasoning that no matter what race you end up picking, you can be whatever class you want - unless you want a bow as a giant - Milletians still havent figured out how to make a bow big enough for them.
the magic boost on elf hardly matters the only thing elves are good at is archery
And run fast
that's the important part
I still don't understand the logic behind elves not being able to use lances
can't charge fast on camels or whut
Arms too weak
Huge axes is fine tho
Elves can do magic good just not rlly better than any other race
iirc the difference is a bit of int and mp costs for some skills
notably a reduced ice spear mana cost
so it's kinda negligible
though an argument can be made that elf speed makes it much easier to kite while using magic compared to the other races
any race can be a good mage yea
But archery isn’t the only thing elf is “good” at, maybe only thing elf is “best” at
This is a fact with fs
i use it for when I need a mini iron will
for example tanking donut lasers in feth
a damage boost? 
I like this response
nb bow already has a final shot boost effect on it
I imagine the kr devs think it'll be redundant to have that set effect and a damage bonus on fs
also signets

true true
hurdur mag too weak can't noncrit elite hallways pls buff hurdur /s I think final shot is good where it's at atm anyways
true true definitely needs buffs to mag
Plz buff mirage
lol race choice
clearly mag will only be good when its ranged lance charge with a cd of 0.4s
😏
you mean 0s cd 
id play lance charge human/giant if I ever got a lc cd reduction 7 hat
