Once Human: Best Specializations to Choose

As a Meta-Human in Once Human, you can actually use the power of Stardust and unlock special abilities called Memetics. The Memetic system is similar to a skill tree within The Cradle that focuses on improving different aspects of your character.

These include physical strength, endurance, crafting, resource gathering, and even Stardust manipulation. Every five levels you get to choose from a selection of randomized Memetic Specializations. These are powerful buffs that can enhance your Meta-Human’s abilities. This guide will break down different Specializations in Once Human to help you choose the best ones.

Best Specializations in Once Human

As mentioned above, each time you level up, you get to pick one out of four Specializations. Since it’s all based on RNG, you might not get the same Specialization as other players and will need to adapt based on the available choices. By reaching the level cap, you can acquire a total of 10 Specializations.

You can choose your Specializations as soon as you unlock them, or you can wait until you reach the max level to see a wider range of options and make a better decision. Here are some of the best Specializations you should unlock in Once Human:
