Beginners Tip To Get You Started In Infinity Nikki

When you first step into Miraland and begin playing Infinity Nikki, there’s something of an information overload! With plenty of systems to keep in mind – ability outfits, sketches, collections, Whimstars, etc. – it’s easy to get swept up in the whirlwind early in the game.

There are a handful of things you can (and should) do toward the beginning of your adventure in Infinity Nikki that will come in handy down the line. With so much ahead to explore in the vast, colorful expanse of each region of Miraland, here are a few ways to set your Nikki up for success.

11

Stop And Grab The Whimstars

Use Momo’s Ability To Collect Whimstars As You Go

Though there are plenty of assorted currencies in Infinity Nikki, Whimstars are perhaps the most important, since they’re how you unlock and upgrade your ability outfits! As you travel throughout the world of Miraland, Momo will alert you every time there’s a new Whimstar someplace in your general vicinity, so you’d be wise to track and grab it – he’ll happily point you in the right diection if you ask.

There are plenty of different ways you’ll obtain these Whimstars – some require precision platforming, others are puzzles asking you to find a hidden star within a given area, and others are outright collectibles for reaching their location. No matter what they are, Momo will allow you to keep track of their location for you as you head over that way.

It’s a great way not only to find Whimstars you may not have seen with the naked eye, but it’s helpful to keep a waypoint marked if you need to finish something else before you go get it, too. No matter how you need to grab them, make sure you take the time out to find Whimstars on your adventures – you’ll thank yourself later when you’ve got enough on hand to handle several upgrades all at once, since the Heart of Infinity requires more Whimstars than you think to max out.

Stock Up On Stuff

Collecting Resources As You Go Saves Backtracking Later On

Backpacks aren’t just a stylish accessory in Infinity Nikki! You’ve got an actual inventory as well, and it’s relatively unlimited – which means you’d be wise to make the time to stop and grab all the stuff you’re running past as you explore Miraland. When Nikki is near something she can collect, you’ll have the option to interact with the item and grab it, but resources aren’t always as obvious as plants growing from the ground in the overworld or currencies littered around.

You’ll also want to make time to do things that take a bit longer, like grooming animals or catching fish. Animal grooming has a cute but lengthy cutscene if you don’t skip it, and fishing is its own minigame, but you’ll thank yourself later for having a stockpile, since your sketches will require all sorts of different resources to bring your outfit ideas to life.

Keep Buying New Clothing To Ensure Your Pieces Have The Highest Stats

In a game so heavily focused on dressing up, it’s no surprise that the fashion aspect of Infinity Nikki is so prominent! As amusing as the open-world adventure is, we’re no strangers to previous entries in the Nikki series that focused more fully on dressing up. And thankfully, you’ve got hundreds of clothing pieces to find in the game.

With hundreds of individual pieces to collect already and new clothing or accessories added in every major update since the game’s launch, you’ve got your work cut out for you if you want to fill your wardrobe compendium. Clothing is obtained in different ways in Infinity Nikki, like:

• Buying it from Marques Boutique in Florawish, exchanging cash for clothing.
  • Buying from other vendors all around Miraland, who appear with shopping bags over their heads when you approach.
• Crafting sketches you’ve already obtained, provided you have the materials to do so.
• Resonating for new clothing when banners strike your fancy.
• Finding chests around Miraland that contain one piece to a larger outfit, with each region having an optional outfit to find and craft.
• Working through the main story and being given outfit pieces from friends.

There will be times when the stats on the clothing Nikki wears is critical (which we’ll get to in just a moment), so when you’ve got the money or the time, make a pit-stop to work on expanding your wardrobe.

Bring The Best Fashion Or Come Back Later

There’s No Shame In Waiting To Do Style Battles Until You Have Better Clothes

It’s early in the game’s main story that you’re introduced to the different Stylist Factions in Miraland, each of which requires Nikki to out-dress their highest-ranking members to learn about the clothing-based gangs and figure out their leadership hierarchy. This begins with the Ebony Scissors, but it doesn’t stop there!

Once you’ve finished the tutorial fashion battle against Kadru of the Ebony Scissors, you’ll be able to engage in all kinds of different stylist battles all across Miraland. The rewards for doing these well include experience, cash, and even new sketches, so if you’ve got the right style, it’s worth giving it a shot! Each faction battle leads you one step closer to finding the Sovereign of the region, each of which has a different kind of clothing they’re looking for.

But stylist battles can be tough if you’re not coming in with your best outfits, and the other stylists are more than happy to roast Nikki for less-than-stellar attempts. Each battle has a theme, so be sure you’ve dressed Nikki with the items that contribute to the overall theme. Just because all the pieces are on theme, though, doesn’t mean you win – they’ve got to be stylish enough.

Stylist battles have four potential rankings, with the Perfect ranking both offering the best rewards and being the hardest to obtain, especially later in the game. If you’re not confident in your wardrobe for this battle, there’s no shame in coming back later and saving Nikki the humiliation of losing.

Eurekas Can Save An Outfit

Upgrade Eurekas And Use The Right Ones To Increase Stylist Battle Scores

While the main draw of Infinity Nikki is all the pretty clothing you can obtain and upgrade, sometimes, just your outfits alone won’t be enough to win you the stylist battle. Thankfully, in addition to clothes and accessories, Nikki can select up to three Eurekas (one for her head, hands, and feet) to use in battles that reliably boost your scores.

Like clothing, Eurekas have the same five themes – Cool, Elegant, Fresh, Sexy, and Sweet – and will be given a point total for each of these themes. As such, you’ll want to always choose the best Eurekas during style battles by making sure they not only match the theme being asked for, but that they’re upgraded enough to give a meaningful number of points.

You can get new Eurekas in Infinity Nikki by challenging the Realm of Eureka at any Warp Spire around Miraland. You’ll re-run the game’s main dungeons grabbing glowing green orbs along the way, and you’ll spend Vital Energy to earn new Eurekas after completing the challenge. Harder levels of these challenges offer higher-value Eurekas, so be sure to challenge them often, upgrade what you have, and keep a stock of different Eurekas with different stats on you at all times.

Improve Clothes To Increase Their Stats

Regular Clothes And Ability Outfits Alike Can Be Improved!

Once you’ve purchased or created new clothing to add to Nikki’s wardrobe compendium, there’s still plenty of work to be done before they’re the best versions of those clothes they can be! After you’ve got a piece cataloged in your compendium, you’ll be able to improve outfit pieces to continue increasing their stats, either one piece at a time or as an outfit collectively. Outfits tha have reached level ten can also be Glowed Up using glitter bubbles of the appropriate variety.

Doing so requires not only Blings, but you’ll need a good number of Threads and Bubbles, too, which is another reason we suggest collecting everything you can find as you go through the game. As your fashion battles get tougher as your Stylist Level rises, you’ll all but need to bring improved pieces to the fight if Nikki has any chance of winning. Especially when it comes to the Sovereigns of each region, you’ll need to bring your A-game to every fashion battle before long.

You can improve the stats of your ability outfits as well if you’re using them for style battles, but you’ll need experience points and Whimstars to level up the ability tied to the outfit. For example, upgrading the stats of the fishing outfit isn’t going to make Nikki a better fisher – you’ll need to upgrade the Heart of Infinity for that. And speaking of…

Upgrade Your Heart, Upgrade Your Mind

Spending Whimstars In The Heart Of Infinity Improves Nikki’s Skills

Unlocking and fabricating Nikki’s assorted ability outfits lays the groundwork for her different abilities that become essential to your exploration of Miraland, but if you’re hoping to improve any of these skills, you’ll need to work a little bit more specifically to do so.

Not only do you need experience points in the given skill before you can upgrade, but you’ll need an increasing number of Whimstars and Bling to unlock these upgrades, too. They get to be pretty expensive the further from the core of the heart you get, but as the game’s story progresses, you’ll thank yourself for putting in the work.

Each ability can be upgraded a handful of times throughout the course of the story, and Nikki will enjoy increased stats and better collection payouts for your efforts. Additionally, new updates seem to be coming periodically to the Heart of Infinity to give longtime stylists even more things to do in Infinity Nikki.

Warp Here, There, And Everywhere

Activate Every Warp Spire You See, And Use Them To Travel

Activating the different Warp Spires in the different towns and settlements across Miraland is a good way to earn some experience, sure, but if you open Nikki’s map, you’ll be able to see each Warp Spire you’ve activated so far. And no matter where you are in the world, you’ll be able to teleport directly back to any activated Warp Spire.

We’ve hammered in the merits of collecting stuff as you go, but if you’ve got some backtracking to do, it saves a ton of time to just warp back to the closest Warp Spire. Infinity Nikki asks you to do a good amount of traveling across the beautiful and impressively open world of Miraland, so give yourself shortcuts in doing so whenever possible. Running everywhere sounds fun early on, but that feeling changes after dozens of hours of playtime.

Ride Your Whimcycle When Possible

That Course Takes Longer Than You Think

Fairly early into Infinity Nikki, you’ll be sent out to the Meadow Activity Center, where your task is to rent your very first Whimcycle and take it for a spin. Previously, we could only ride the Whimcycle in Breezy Meadows, but early 2025 updates for Infinity Nikki have removed region restrictions, allowing you to ride your Whimcycle practically anywhere you please.

As such, it’s not a bad idea to keep aware of where your bike was parked. Not only is riding faster than Nikki can walk, but you’ll also be making progress toward the XX course, which tasks you with riding precisely one million meters on a Whimcycle, and that number is much bigger than you may initially believe; Miraland is big, but it’s not that big. Whenever it makes sense to do so, you may want to consider biking between destinations, especially if you’re a completionist looking to finish that course.

Make Time For Side Quests

Your Stylist Level Will Thank You

As you explore Miraland, you’ll come across plenty of different folks for Nikki to talk to, and a variety of them are able to offer you a series of optional quests. Doing so will always reward Nikki in some way, and a lot of what you’re asked to do is only slightly off the beaten path through Miraland, anyway. If you’re going that way, you might as well pick up a side quest or two!

Not only is doing side quests in Infinity Nikki a great way to stock up on cash and even new sketches from time to time, but story progression is sometimes locked behind you reaching a certain style level. Making time to do side quests as you go through Miraland the first time is not only helpful to the community, but it’s helpful for your Stylist Level and Mira Level as well.

Follow The Bling

Trails Of Bling Often Lead You In The Right Path During Puzzles

Since Miraland is such a large open-world area full of puzzles to solve as you work toward the story’s main goals, you’d be wise to keep an eye out for those helpful trails of Bling scattered throughout the overworld. Sometimes they’re just there to help you earn some cash, but they might also serve as a trail of proverbial breadcrumbs.

This is especially true when you’re working your way through the game’s dungeons. There are often set paths you’ll need to navigate, and if you’re feeling a little stumped on where to go next, just look for the strings of Bling to help guide you toward the next objective.

But you’ll find these trails of Bling all around Miraland, too. In towns and settlements, they might help you access higher platforms by guiding you exactly toward where you’re able to reach that upper level. Out in the wild, they might lead you to resources or even Whimstars, to help double down on Momo’s tracking ability. Bling is one of the most prominent forms of currency in Miraland, so it never hurts to have more, especially if that free cash is leading you toward story progression, too.
