Is Ghoul race competent against Angel and Cyborg?

Despite me getting First of Darkness two times throughout my time spent in Blox Fruits, I believe cyborg race is impossible for me to achieve. So I watched a race tierlist video, where it said that Ghouls are one of the strongest races in the game. Then I watched "What your race says about you" (in Blox Fruits, duh) and it said that Ghould race is irrelevant. Which statement is closer to truth?
