Once Human: 10 Helpful Tips For The Prismverse's Clash

Key Takeaways

  • Don’t exploit or abuse game mechanics; adhere to rules to avoid bans.
  • Combine different faction specializations for optimal gameplay.
  • Avoid toxicity, stick with your faction, and work together to succeed.

As a seasoned player who’s been traversing the digital worlds since the dawn of time, let me tell you, my friends, the Prismverse scenario is not for the faint-hearted! With only three worlds to accommodate an ever-growing horde of players, prime spots get snatched up quicker than a fresh-baked pie at a family reunion.


Since the debut of the Prismverse scenario within “Once Human“, there has been a surge of role-players interested in experimenting with Player versus Player (PvP) dynamics. Notably, the Prismverse scenario offers a unique blend of Player versus Environment (PvE) and Player versus Player (PvP) gameplay.

Could it be that you’re wondering about the meaning of PvPvE mode? Essentially, this mode involves engaging in battles with other players during specific events, as well as monsters, all at once. The objective is to acquire rare Prism deviations. Teamwork becomes vital for securing these deviations and successfully completing the event since cooperation is crucial to both protecting them and achieving victory.

Just like other players who enjoy PvE gameplay, I’ve been delving into the Prismverse with my Warband and would like to share some strategies to aid your survival in this challenging “Once Human” scenario. Fear not if you’re a solo adventurer; these tips are designed to be useful for everyone.

10 New Mode, New Meta

PvE Setup Won’t Work Here Anymore

Once Human: 10 Helpful Tips For The Prismverse's Clash

For PvE gamers, the focus is typically on battling creatures without giving much thought to aspects such as damage mitigation (like damage reduction), head damage reduction, or weapon damage reduction. Yet, in PvP gameplay, fellow players become your adversaries, making it essential to prepare for unforeseen confrontations and consider these factors.

In order to engage in combat with other players effectively, it’s essential that your character is equipped with a build specifically designed for Player versus Player (PvP). A PvE-focused build may lack the necessary durability and damage reduction. To enhance your character’s abilities, consider concentrating on armor sets such as Savior, and weapons like D.E. Jaws, which come with mods capable of stunning enemies.

Let’s focus on increasing Health Points (HP) and Damage Reduction with the Cradle perks and mod attributes. Additionally, consider using Pristine Meat for cooking to enhance your Health Points even further.

9 Prismverse Exclusive Specializations

Mayfly Exclusives Are The Best!

Once Human: 10 Helpful Tips For The Prismverse's Clash

Regardless if you identify with the Rosetta or Mayfly group, you’re free to explore and master skills from both factions. There isn’t a rigid policy dictating that you should solely concentrate on your own faction’s expertise.

I strongly advise you to blend distinct expertise to optimize your equipment, drones, and enhancements. Certain Rosetta drones and Mayfly injections are top-notch for combat, whereas others shine in exploration and surveillance.

Distributing tasks among team members will make this process easier and ensure that you won’t always work alone.

Utilizing spells such as Aero Leap, Chloro-Armor, A Shattered Dimension, and The Weaver can provide assistance during battle.

8 In-Game Rewards and Mitsuko Marks

Spend Cautiously

Once Human: 10 Helpful Tips For The Prismverse's Clash

As a gamer, here’s how I might rephrase that: During each season, achieving goals earns you Mistuko marks. These marks are essential to open the cosmetic crate filled with faction skins. However, each crate demands 2700 Mistuko marks, which can be quite steep for free-to-play players like myself. If I were in your shoes, I’d consider investing in either the Radiant One statue or the Berserkosaurus Rex figure instead.

If you don’t have a lot of Mitsuko tokens at hand, it’s best not to use them on Gacha. With everyone buzzing about the Winter Way scenario, remember to collect your seasonal Starchrome box using Energy links before moving on to other servers.

7 Guerilla Warfare

Be Sneaky, Stealth Gameplay

Once Human: 10 Helpful Tips For The Prismverse's Clash

Teleporters, often referred to as “impact zones” by PvP players, can be occupied by any faction members. Players strategically place Fortified Defenses (Nutcrackers) in their territories and construct them near the impact zones with the intention of eliminating opponents from other factions. Let me tell you, those fortifications are not easy to destroy.

In most cases, I prefer donning black attire and a mask to blend with nature’s greenery and avoid my adversaries. Occasionally, due to network latency issues, it can be challenging to secure victorious fights, making it possible to stealthily approach Rift anchors in Player versus Player zones during intense skirmishes.

In this situation, it’s best to approach stealthily as we’re unsure about any potential advantages the opponent may possess.

6 Level Up Fast

Every Second Counts

In this game, the EXP system is operating at an enhanced level, there’s no room for doubt about it. It might not surprise you if you manage to reach level 30 in just a few hours. During the initial stages, you can repeatedly target the securement silo EX1 to quickly advance up to level 50. The EXP will also reward you with Acid drops from Deviants, which are essential for crafting top-tier ammunition and materials.

Emphasize dismantling the Rift anchors to gain additional EXP and decide on your specializations. It’s also beneficial to join a team because teammates’ kills grant EXP, and their contributions count towards the Rift anchor’s exploration goals.

With each advancement, additional specialization options will become available for selection, allowing you to pick powerful specialties such as Oil Processing and Sulfur Chemistry.

5 Move As A Unit

Alpha Team, Ready To Move

In the thrilling world of Prismverse, I’ve come to realize that “Unity is Power” is a guiding principle. As a dedicated PvE adventurer, I understand that teamwork is essential for me to delve into Rift anchors, solve intricate puzzles, and conquer other challenging areas together.

As a lone gamer, I recommend getting to know fellow players who share similar gaming styles and embarking on adventure quests together. It’s even better because when you enhance your weapons, the boosts sometimes extend to your teammates too!

As a member of our team, I can clearly see when an enemy gets hit with the Bullseye effect, making it simpler for my comrades and me to locate them swiftly.

4 Defense Base For Purification

For The Faction

Once Human: 10 Helpful Tips For The Prismverse's Clash

Currently, there are twelve individuals making up our collective unit. I implore you to lend your efforts towards cleansing the distortion in our Prism for the sake of our group. Keep in mind that bases situated within Player versus Player zones can be attacked, resources seized, and ultimately destroyed.

Essentially, it’s best practice to establish several secure locations equipped with enhanced amenities, which you will primarily utilize for both production and processing purposes.

20 nutcracker units, fortified with defensive towers, snares, and a hexagonal layout, will hold off attackers for some time.

If you’ve packed Deviations such as Nutcrackers into your Spacetime bag, you won’t be able to trade them for a week since they are associated with your personal inventory.

3 Base Spots Matter

Blackfell Oil Fields For The Win

Once Human: 10 Helpful Tips For The Prismverse's Clash

As a gamer diving into the Prismverse, I’ve noticed that there are just three realms to explore. With an overwhelming number of players flooding the servers, it’s a race against time to snatch those prime spots, which often get claimed within minutes.

Even if you’re a lore enthusiast and a dedicated farmer, your base’s location will play a key role. So, finish the story quest as fast as possible and choose your birth zone carefully.

After completing the task at hand, please shift your attention towards expanding and improving your domain, so as to claim a larger expanse, since some opponents might hinder others from upgrading their territories by establishing their own adjacent to them.

As a devoted fan, I’d like to share that you have the freedom to pick the Mayfly faction without any restrictions when it comes to constructing within Rosseta’s secure area. Essentially, what matters most is the safe zone label.

Position your area using the ‘T’ key, then hit the ‘G’ key to call forth the bicycle. No construction is required.

2 Purification, Map, and Seasonal Goals

Once Human: 10 Helpful Tips For The Prismverse's Clash

In the present situation, the Prism Deviation purification is crucial, but it’s important to note that a more basic form of Territory purification, often referred to as ‘vanilla’, also exists. This means you’re accumulating a good quantity of Starchrome to buy new weapons in the Way of Winter scenario.

As the map progresses step by step, certain regions will still be off-limits even when you reach the final stage. This implies that not all areas you could access during the Manibus and Evolution’s Call storylines are available to you.

If your goal is to move to that particular server, make sure to gather everything you need first: accessories, deviations, treasure boxes, and morphic crates. Once ready, proceed to connect to the Prismverse servers.

1 PvP exclusive Deviations

Collect Them All

Once Human: 10 Helpful Tips For The Prismverse's Clash

On your server, concentrate on capturing PvP-oriented creatures such as Pup Buddy, Upper World Spawn, Dr. Teddy, and Mr. Wish. I recommend joining Dungeons and Silos in Professional mode to increase the likelihood of encountering Deviations with high Skill or Activity scores.

Regrettably, you won’t find the Masonic Pyramid or the Shiny deviations on the Prismverse servers.

You could propose a trade of a PvE (Player vs Environment) unique Deviation such as By-the-wind or Atomic Snail to a PvP (Player vs Player) player, in exchange for the Masonic Pyramid Deviation.

When it comes to finding Deviation’s spawn spots, I’ve relied on the Mapgenie Interactive Maps site for quite some time now, and I can confidently suggest this resource to others as well.

The Shiny deviations aren’t available on Novice Manibus and Prismverse servers.
