Prestige

**Prestige** is a mechanic in Incremental Cubes which acts as a "soft reset" function.

## Prestiging

When you Prestige, you lose the following stuff:

* All progress through the Tiers and Phases, resetting you to Tier 1, Phase 2. This means the Cube Level and Cube Size will reset to their base values of 0 and 1 by 1 by 1 respectively.
* All progress on the Power of Cube, including all upgrades, levels and cubes stored.
* All Tick Speed and Cube Multiplier upgrades.
* All Color Meters barring White.
* All Helper Upgrades.

However, the following stuff will remain when you Prestige:

* The Levels of all of your Helpers.
* The Zoom Multiplier and progress towards the next upgrade for it.
* The Boss Defeat Multiplier.
* Your Inventory. (but the Item Drop Rate and Rare Item Odds will reset)
* Your Skill Points and Prestige Perks.
* Your Max Damage and Max Cubes Collected.
* Your Rubies.

Also, when you Prestige, you have the chance to spend the Skill Points on Prestige Perks in any and all unlocked Prestige Octahedrons you have access to.

## The Prestige Octahedron

*See also: the Prestige Tree*

There are seven Prestige Octahedrons which you can work your way through, each of them acting as sort of a Perk Tree. At the start, you can only buy the topmost node of a Prestige Octahedron you have unlocked, but you are also allowed to buy other nodes connected to the nodes you have brought. You can also sell nodes back to get the Skill Points back, and you can do so even if it would disconnect a node from having a route of connected nodes to the topmost node. Finally, once all nodes of a single Prestige Octahedron are brought at the same time for the first time, the next Prestige Octahedron will automatically unlock.

Note that for each node unlocked, you also gain a 10% additive Skill Sphere Multiplier as well.
