What currency does the player accumulate in Side Order?

The player accumulates Membux in Side Order.

Membux is the temporary currency earned while progressing through an attempt in the Spire of Order. Players can gain it from completing floor objectives and can spend it during a run, including at vending-machine floors that offer useful abilities. That makes Membux part of the short-term risk-and-reward decisions at the heart of Side Order’s roguelite design.

An important distinction is what happens when an attempt ends. If Agent 8 loses all available lives, the collected Membux and color chips are converted into Prlz, the persistent currency used outside the Spire. Prlz can purchase Hacks, which provide lasting improvements for future attempts, such as more lives or stronger attacks.

Power Eggs belong primarily to Splatoon’s single-player progression systems, while ordinary multiplayer money is not the terminology used for Side Order’s run currency. CQ Points are associated with other Splatoon systems, especially Octo Expansion-style progression, so they are plausible but incorrect alternatives. Membux is specifically the currency accumulated during Side Order runs.
