No Game No Life 16 Exceeds Ranking

1. Old Deus (神霊種, オールドデウス)

The Old Deus (神霊種, オールドデウス) is the first ranked race of the Exceed. It consists of the old gods, who lost their status after the Great War, where Tet became the One True God. The only known Old Deus is Artosh (deceased), who was Jibril's creator. They are beings of great longevity and power. Jibril noted that it would take at least 200 Flügels to challenge a single god, and even then the chance of losing would be high. According to Izuna, during the wartime, only Flügel and Exmachina had ever succeeded in killing a god. One of the gods used an arrogant and ornate speech style by stating "Question" before proceeding when conversing with Tet. He was described as an imperfect presence with limited powers.

Historically, the gods were the ones who launched the great war to fight over the title of the One True God, using their creations as weapons, namely the Flügel, to kill other gods. The gods eventually lost their will to continue warring as they died needlessly without enjoying their lives. Tet emerged above the Old Deus as he was the only god who had abstained from the war, and became the One True God.

2. Phantasma (幻想種, ファンタズマ)

The Phantasma (幻想種, ファンタズマ) are the second ranked race of the Exceed. Not much has been revealed about them, except that Avant Heim is a phantasma. That phantasma resembles a giant floating rock, and has the right to infringe on others' sunlight and view as noted by Sora.

3. Elementals (精霊種, エレメンタル)

The Elementals (精霊種, エレメンタル) are the third ranked race of the Exceed. Every living thing born in Disboard contains traces of elemental. (Sora and Shiro were not born in Disboard, thus they contain no elementals.) It is most concentrated in the erogenous zone. The body of a flügel is said to be entirely made up of elementals, and the elementals are most concentrated in their wings. The network which elementals form within a body is termed as an elemental gallery. In the sixth episode, the siblings caused Jibril's elemental gallery to disappear during materialization shiritori, which restricted her physical abilities and rendered her unable to fly. Jibril also brought an Elemental water infused shampoo for Shiro to use, which lessened Shiro's dislike of baths.

Flügels have the ability to detect what kind of elementals an organism contains. Elves are able to examine one's personality from the elemental particles they emit.

4. Dragonia (龍精種, ドラゴニア)

Dragonia (龍精種, ドラゴニア) is the fourth ranked of the Exceed. While a dragon appears in the anime's first episode, it appears much later in the light novels. It is also worth noting that Jibril states that it took about 50 Flugels during the war to take down a Dragonia, which clearly illustrates their power.

5. Gigant (巨人種, ギガント)

According to Jibril, it would take a force of six Flügel to take down a standard Gigant (巨人種（ギガント） Giganto).

6. Flügels (天翼種, フリューゲル)

The Flügels (天翼種, フリューゲル) are the sixth ranked race of the Exceed. Their homeland is Avant Heim, a floating city in the sky. The kanji for their name can be read as angels, but Sora noted that they are more alike to demons, as they hold powers of mass-destruction and massacred countless beings during the ancient war. There are 18 Flügel that are council members that govern Avant Heim.

Flügels are ancient warriors created by the gods, one of whom was Artosh, to fight their wars for them. While their combat abilities are sealed by the Ten Oaths, they still retain immortality as well as high magic ability. Due to their nature, Flügels tends to have violent thoughts and are harsh and sarcastic. After the declaration of the Ten Oaths, the Flügels began collecting knowledge all over Disboard by robbing the other races of their books and as Disboard is a world without printing technology, these robbed books were not easy to replace. When their homeland became stacked with books, the Flügels passed a law to share the books amongst themselves.

The Flügels are known to have collected the skulls of their slain enemies. Although they now mainly collect books due to the implementation of the Ten Oaths, the skulls are still displayed within their homes, as noted by the skulls in Jibril's library.

7. Elves (森精種, エルフ)

The Elves (森精種, エルフ) are the seventh ranked race of the Exceed, and as such, the seventh best at using magic. Their homeland is Elven Garde, the largest nation on the planet.

Though the elf country is democratic with the largest families within the council of elders, they often have slaves from other races to serve them from within the conquered territories they have claimed or from bets that have been lost, this often results in generational slave families living with their owner families for life such as Chlammy Zell.

Of their history It is known that eight hundred years ago before the installment of the Ten Oaths, Jibril had single-handedly destroyed their capital city in a single strike within a fit of rage after she was knocked from the sky by an anti-flying spell placed above the capital city and hurt herself. Jibril also stole their books about magic, stalling the growth of their magic ability for a long time.

It is also known that although they are magically advanced they are no more technologically advanced as any of the other races seeing as they were unable to comprehend the Werebeasts games and lost consecutively to them 4 times.

9. Unknown

10. ExMachina (機凱種, エクスマキナ)

The ExMachina (機凱種, エクスマキナ) appear to be a race of cybernetic life forms that appear in volume 6 of the light novels, not much is currently known about them until the translations appear except that they are a cybernetic race as deduced by their name and the appearance of a cybernetic character in the 6th volume.

11. Unknown

12. Dhampir (吸血種, ダンピール)

The Dhampir (吸血種, ダンピール), ranked twelve out of sixteen Exceed, live by extracting soul essence from bodily fluids such as blood, and while all body fluids can be used to continue their life, they can only increase their power and grow with the consumption of blood. However, due to the implementation of the Ten Pledges, they have to let victims to agree upon before they can obtain blood from them.

It is revealed in volume 4 that the Dhampir have both males and females within their race, they can only mature to adult hood by consuming the blood and mixing their soul essence with another races soul. The consequence of this act would infect the victims with a disease making the victim sensitive to direct sunlight to the point where the victim will die from prolonged exposure.

There is currently only one young Male left of the Dhampir race, meaning that as a race, when considering the Doomsday clock scenario, they are only 5 seconds away from extiction as mentioned by Sora.

They are currently living in mutualistic servitude to the Seirens of Oceando after a bet for their own survival using their race piece ended in a draw with the seirens betting that the males of the dhampir will sustain the seirens for reproduction purposes and the dhampir betting for access to feeding on the seirens as the seirens mainly live under water and so are not affected by direct sunlight often. The males of their race will regularly consume seiren blood for sustenance and to mature while allowing the queen of the seirens to consume their blood and soul essence so she may reproduce. The females have limited blood feeding till a young age at which they have to venture into the outer world to find males with which to consume their blood to allow them to Mature to adult hood so they may reproduce and to consume other bodily fluids for sustenance often resulting in H-games with males of other races.

In the light novel Volume 4, 『 』, with Izuna and Jibril found Plum, a Dhampir girl at a critical time on the verge of dying of starvation. This girl asked them to give her their Soul Essence. Jibril informs them that 'many bodily fluids contain varying amounts of soul essence'. Shiro helps the girl with the order for her to lick Shiro's foot to consume her sweat. Plum, the Dhampir girl, states that she likes the taste of Shiro's sweat. Jibril says it's because Shiro has a tough, strong, extremely rare, unique and noble soul that any common person who searches the entire world for such a presence will still never meet. After being saved by Queen of Imanity, Plum asked them to help her race.

Sora presumes after the information gained from Jibril that the Dhampir are a form of succubi and not pure vampires as they are capable of feeding on soul essence from bodily fluids other than blood, Although the levels of soul essence are less in other bodily fluids compared to blood with the semen of men containing the highest amount.

13. Lunamana (月詠種, ルナマナ)

The Lunamana (月詠種, ルナマナ) are the thirteenth ranked race of the Exceed. So far, not much is known about them.

14. Warbeasts (獣人種, ワービースト)

The Werebeasts or Warbeasts (獣人種, ワービースト) are the fourteenth ranked race of the Exceed who currently live in the former islands of the former Eastern Union that is now a self-ruling territory of the Elchea Federation. They have superb physical capabilities as well as senses, and are able to use 'kekkai' as a sixth sense to sense heart rate and other minute details. There are countless different tribes of Werebeasts, each of which have different physical features but all have animal-like attributes.

For many years they had been locked in a cycle between civil wars and negotiated peace, a small country of islands with little uniformity, but one day, Miko appeared and pacified the country in just half a century, and now they had merged into a gigantic maritime nation counted as one of the three biggest countries.

While they were assumed to have the ability to read others' minds, Sora confirmed that it was a hoax; they were only predicting others motives by means of cold reading; by observing the involuntary and voluntary body movements they could deduce a persons intentions, or if they were being untruthful.

When Sora realized the Werebeasts had Kemonomimi features, he immediately resolved to conquer their kingdom.

The Werebeast are currently seen as the most technological race on Disboard, although there are some vast disparities between the Werebeast technology and that of our own, such as a lack of flight technologies and portable computers, The majority of their people also live in Eastern (Japanese) style housing from the 1700's. The main focus of their technological advancment appears to surround improving agriculture and making use of what land they have to its fullest with advanced food production facilities (most likely hydroponic based) as well as advanced computing by means of virtual simulation as seen in the battle between The protagonists and Izuna.

15. Seiren (海棲種, セーレーン)

The Seiren or Mermaids (海棲種, セーレーン) are the fifteenth ranked race of the Exceed.

They are currently living in mutualistic Dominance to the Dhampir in Oceando after a bet for their own survival using their race piece ended in a draw with the seirens betting that the males of the Dhampir will sustain the seirens for reproduction purposes and the dhampir betting for access to feeding on the seirens as the seirens mainly live under water and so are not affected by direct sunlight and so are mainly not affected by the vampiric disease.

The Seiren as a race are at the greatest disadvantage as they live purely under the ocean within their city and rarely venture to the surface. Their race is also solely comprised of females with one Queen acting as the primary source of children for their race (for political reasons) although all Seiren are capable of reproducing with males from any race.

The Seirens, before the enactment of the 10 oaths, would abduct males from any race and forcefully reproduce with them by consuming their blood and soul essence (no other genetic crossing discussed so far i.e intercourse) to the point where the male would be weakened to the point of death and often die.

The Seirens are considered to be stupid by most races; according to Plum and Jibril, mermaids only know to play and mate and are very carefree, even at the prospect of their race going extinct. They don't excel in any particular magic other than the Seduction Magic, as their bodies are filled with Water Elementals that attracts the Elementals in the bodies of the other races.

16. Imanity (人類種, イマニティ)

Imanity (人類種, イマニティ) is the race that represents humanity within the world of Disboard and of the protagonists, Sora and Shiro. Imanity is ranked as the 16th race of the Exceed due to their non affinity to magic.

Imanity lacks the ability to sense or use magic. This is because they lack the Spirit Circuits that allow the other Exceed the ability to use magic.

Before the Timeline of the Novels it has been discussed that Imanity once controlled the largest Territories and Domain on Disboard, dwarfing the lands of all the races that existed before the great war combined. It was often speculated on by the other Exceeds, as mentioned by Jibril, that it seemed impossible for humanity to be capable of asserting itself and maintaining such large territories up to and during the great war. However, Imanity did not become extinct and maintained their large domain even up to the end of the great war.

At the beginning of the first novel, Imanity had only the city of Elchea and the lands surrounding it left before Sora and Shiro's reign. This is mainly due to the enactment of the Ten Pledges and Imanity's inability to sense the use of magic. Although Imanity was wise enough to survive the great war, they were incapable of defending themselves from opponents that would often cheat using magic. The result of this was the gradual loss of lands to the other magically dominant races over time until the period of the previous king.

As of 5th light novel, Sora and Shiro have recovered most of the previous kings lost lands that were cheated away from Imanity by the use of the virtual reality games by the werebeasts, The protagonists eventually game against the other races and form alliances with the werebeast, Flugel, Dhampir and Seiren merging these lands to form the Elchea Federation.

The chess piece of the Imanity is the 'King', which is noticed by Sora to be the most strategically important piece despite the fact that it is one of the weakest pieces.
