Complete Guide To Skills And Insights In Infinity Nikki

Infinity Nikki is a lot of game elements all comfortably (and fashionably!) wrapped in a single package, and one of the many things you’ll do as you venture across Miraland is build up a set of five unique skills, referred to as your Insights.

As you build each Insight in Infinity Nikki, you’ll slowly but surely unlock rewards in the Heart of Infinity for all your hard work. These can be sketches, additional abilities, and more, so between all the skill-building you’ll do on your own and the Fufus to fill in the gaps, you’ll be skillful in no time!

To upgrade your skill perks in Infinity Nikki, you’ll need the requisite number of Insight points, Whimstars, and Bling, as well as being required to unlock the upgrade nodes in order. No skipping upgrades you don’t totally want in favor of more exciting ones, unfortunately. Be sure to visit the Fufus often in the Realm of Nourishment to trade loot for skill points!

Every Insight has a daily skill cap. After you hit it, you can still grab this type of collectible, but you won’t gain Insight points until the day begins anew in the early morning hours in EST.

Collection Insight Overview

The first of the five skills you’ll be introduced to when you first begin playing Infinity Nikki, the Collection skills is probably the easiest of your five skills to build. You’ll see sparkling objects on the ground in grasses and along paths, which are almost always some type of flower or plant material for you to collect.

Among the most common of the collectible materials, you’ll find that plenty of your sketches require some amount of plant material to craft, so be sure to roam the grasslands and meadows off the beaten path across Miraland to grab some Collection insight boosts. The more you wander through the wooded areas, the more Collection insight you’re likely to build.

Items collected with the Collection Insight are logged in the section of your index showing plants, flowers, and assorted loot grabs.

Bug-Catching Insight Overview

You’ve no doubt seen the vast array of different bugs and critters that flutter or skitter in the grassy areas around Miraland, especially if you’ve got your bug net out already, since any bugs you can catch appear with a bug icon near them to denote they’re within catching range.

Often found in grasses, bushes, or on/near flower displays, a rather good place to work on building your Bug-Catching insight is in the lavender fields of Stoneville – a wide variety of the bugs in Infinity Nikki conglomerate around plants, so keep your eyes peeled. If a bug is fast, you can dash and swing at the same time, or you can conversely sneak up on skittish bugs.

Any bug you catch can be viewed in the Bugs tab of your collections inventory.

Fishing Insight Overview

Sit back and cast off, since the Fishing insight in Infinity Nikki is pretty self-explanatory – you’re going fishing in the waters around Miraland. Be sure to diversify your fishing spots as you unlock new realms, since every area is home to fish you can’t find elsewhere, so always be on the lookout for schools of three fish near the edge of most water on the map.

The fishing minigame in Infinity Nikki is one of the simpler fishing minigames, requiring only that you cast your line at a school of fish while weasring the Fishing Outfit near water, and wait for one to bite. When it does, tug in the opposite direction that the fish is swimming to wear it down, then tap the action button repeatedly to reel it in before it regains its stamina.

You likely visited earlier, but there’s a Warp Spire in the south of Florawish atTghe Leisureely Anglers where you’ll find plenty of other fishing folks, and plenty of schools of fish to work on catching. They’re not the rarest fish here, but they’re reliable.

Animal-Grooming Insight Overview

The first of the ability outfits you unlock when you get to Florawish, the Animal Grooming outfit comes from helping two children make strings to tie their wishes to the Great Wishtree in the center of town. After you’ve collected the outfit, you’ll be able to approach animals and brush them while wearing the Animal Grooming outfit.

Anytime you see any animal around Miraland – creatures like the various dog, cat, and sheep breeds you’ll find as you venture – be sure to pop by and give it a quick brushing. Town centers are good places to find dogs and cats, with dogs on pathways in town and the cats often on rooftops nearby. Likewise, fields around Miraland near farms will often have sheep for you to brush.

Some animals are rather afraid, so you’ll need to sneak up on unsuspecting animals, often from behind if you’d like to groom them. A ton of them can and will run away from you, so mind your footsteps.

All furs and feathers are logged in the Animal section of your collections inventory, indicated by a dog’s pawprint on the menu.

Combat Insight Overview

The Purification Outfit is one of very few ability outfits in Infinity Nikki that you don’t need to actively equip, since Nikki will change into it automatically anytime you engage in combat with various Esselings around Miraland. Using your Purification Ability on them removes the dark energy they’ve been corrupted by, healing them in the process.

Just be mindful that Esselings fight back, and Nikki is more than capable of taking damage herself. Be careful of how the Esselings move – you’ll get a feel for how each enemy works as you fight more of them – and keep some potions on you for tougher sections of the map.

There are Esseling strongholds all across Miraland, but you’ll find several of them in the further areas of Breezy Meadow. We’ll keep quiet on spoilers, but there are tons of enemy encampments here if you need to boost your Combat insight. Most ruins on your map have a few Esselings, so check out any odd marking as you make your way across Miraland.

Unlocks for the Combat insight chain in the Heart of Infinity have to do not only with the ability potions known as Whim Fragrances you unlock during an early-game side quest from an NPC you’ll find sweeping the path between Florawish and the Dream Warehouse. Complete this first quest to find a cave and unlock an ability potion, and he’ll ask you to find two more. From here, they’re unlocked in the Heart of Infinity.

Once you’ve crafted one of these potions, be sure to equip Whim Fragrances from the Wardrobe screen where you get dressed and reorganize your active abilities. You can have three total potions enabled, so unlock the recipes below and find what works best for your playstyle. Potions only grant their abilities if they’re actively equipped.

Stored separately from other goods, since you can’t track them on your map, you’ll find your Combat collectibles in a separate tab of your backpack instead of the collections inventory.
