One Punch Man Worldย captures the adrenalin-filled essence of the iconic manga andย anime seriesย in mobile form. Even if it resembles other action RPG games, it still has quirks that allow it to stand out. This can also make it tough for people, more so beginners, to understand. With the right tips, you’ll get by in the game and appreciate all the inspiration from the OG series. Thisย One Punch Man Worldย guide aims to make starting the game as seamless as possible for beginners.

One Punch Man World – Getting Started

Don’t let the size of the game throw you off. As you wait for the download to finally enjoy it, just embrace the hype music. Once you’re finally in the game, you’ll see that it’s worth the wait.

One Punch Man World guides you through not just a story, but various tasks and battles along the way. Right from the intro, you’ll notice it’s nothing like your standard turn-based mobile action game. You’re expected to handle much more from using the joystick on the left-hand side to pressing the right combat buttons on the right.

You should plan to do everything in the game. Follow the story, of course, but you can’t progress too far without raising your characters’ EXP. So, you must also do side-quests and various battles to gain more points. It can seem like a grind for beginners, but the endless action in One Punch Man World makes that go by in a flash.

One Punch Man World Combat Tips Guide

As we mentioned, combat includes a separate joystick to move your character around and various combat buttons. The buttons include the following:

  • Standard Attack
  • Dash
  • Skill Buttons
  • Ultimate Attack

Your Standard Attack and Dash aren’t on cooldowns. So, you can spam them as much as you’d like. I recommend becoming familiar with the Dash. Not only does it get you out of danger, but it can help you quickly catch up to a distant enemy before they regroup and launch an attack. Any attack can build up your Ultimate, so simply don’t stop fighting to get your strongest move.

Something else beginners must be aware of is that One Punch Man World also guides you through quick-time events. It only requires tapping the screen in the right spot, but you must do it before the timer runs down. Nailing these ensures you get massive damage off enemies with great combos.

Characters and the Gacha System

One of the coolest things about One Punch Man World is the fact that the game guides you to play around with iconic characters. You immediately gain access to a few in the beginning following the tutorial section, but if you want to build the strongest team, you need to play into the Gacha system.

Here you’ll make various draws to gain not just more characters, but top-tier items to help you in battle. There are three levels you can earn:

  • SSR
  • SR
  • R

It’s not too heavy of a draw system, thankfully enough. As long as you play through the story, you can unlock some characters for free. But whenever you do have enough currency to roll, you should take advantage of it. Even if you don’t unlock new characters, you can unlock Impression Arms to upgrade the characters you already have.

Building a Strong Party in One Punch Man World

Let’s focus this guide on perhaps the most important aspect of One Punch Man World: the character party. Without a solid party, you won’t make it very far in the game. It all starts with ensuring you have strong characters. So, draw when you can to unlock more or upgrades.

And always check out the enemy you’re facing. They’ll have weaknesses to specific combat types, so be sure to look to see which of your characters will cause the most damage and have them lead the team. Plus, balance out the type of characters you have. This can help you improve your overall team synergy and land powerful combos.

Impression Arms are truly important here since they act like upgrade skills. So, don’t miss out on those Gacha rolls if you can draw the same character just to get the Impression Arms. If you think you need help in a fight, then browse the store to buy consumables to gain a temporary benefit for the battle.

Story and Side Missions

One Punch Man World guides you through some cool lore from the series through the story missions. In some cases, you can use any avatar to work your way through. However, much of the time, they’ll ask that you switch your avatar whether altogether or just for cutscene conversations if the story involves a specific character. If you want better immersion, it never hurts to change the avatar.

Keep an eye out for the NPCs around the world. If they have an icon over their heads, you can speak with them and soon engage in a battle. This is an easy way to gain more EXP as you can choose any character that best fits the situation at hand.
