Artwork of Prlz.

Prlz (pronounced pearls) are a type of currency in Splatoon 3: Side Order.

Overview

Prlz are a special condensed energy that are formed within and around the Spire of Order.

The main way Prlz are earned is through converting the total score into Prlz after an attempt to ascend the Spire of Order (a "run"), regardless of it being successful or not.

At the end of a run, the player's Color chips and Membux will be converted into points, which are then converted into Prlz.

Outside of runs, players can earn Prlz in a variety of ways:

• Purchasing them in vending machines with Membux. (x25)
• Defeating a boss floor with a Palette that already beaten that floor. (x20)
• Clearing specifically marked floors, indicated by the Prlz on the left side of the tower. (x25 at Floor 5, x15 at Floor 15, x5 at Floor 25)
• Collecting color chips for the first time, then opening the color chip collection. (x3)
• Opening lockers. (Varies)

Usage

Prlz can be exchanged for hacks (permanent upgrades) outside the Spire of Order or locker decorations, locker stickers, banners and gear in Cipher's shop.

Purchased hacks can be activated or deactivated freely without cost. Dark cells indicate purchases that cannot be obtained.
