Infinity Nikki - Wishful Aurosa and Mira Crown

on
In the current version of Infinity Nikki, your ultimate task is to craft the Miracle Outfit "Wishful Aurosa". At the same time you should also be pushing progress in Mira Crown: Wishfield: Pinnacle Contest which resets periodically, giving you repeated rewards. These all basically involve styling challenges.

In this article we'll discuss some strategies for you to achieve this while avoiding wasteful pitfalls.

How to Craft Wishful Aurosa
  • You receive the sketches (crafting blueprints) for each piece in the set as you progress the Main Story, and you also need to unlock each one in the Heart of Infinity skill tree.
  • Once you do so, you'll see that special materials are required from the style Sovereigns. In order to get these materials, you basically need to succeed in every styling challenge. You can track your progress in your Pear-Pal under Factions. You only need a "Normal" clear to advance so don't stress too much.
    • You'll need much more than Normal clears for Mira Crown of course, but you get unlimited attempts at each styling challenge so you can inch up your score carefully without wasting resources so you have some to spend on different styling challenges.
  • When you finally win against a Sovereign, you receive a quest item which you bring to Dada at the Florawish Stylist's Guild to exchange for the materials.
  • Additionally you will need materials from Realm of The Dark > Bouoldy > Phantom Trial: Bouldy (Command).
  • For the Evolutions, you need to craft a second set of Wishful Aurosa.
    • You receive enough unique materials from quests to craft two sets.
    • Each set is 8 pieces. When you have crafted 12 pieces (one and a half sets) you receive one Heartshine for Evolution. When you have crafted 16 pieces (two full sets) you receive the other Heartshine and you use the extra set for the third Evolution.
Tips for Styling Challenges
Here are our best tips for crafting Wishful Aurosa, as well as make progress in Mira Crown.
  • Look at the Resonance gacha banners very carefully.
    • We're putting this one first because players do get excited (or worried by the time limit) on Limited banners and might end up spending resources to pull as they get diamonds from the game.
    • Of course you should pull for the outfit you want, but if you don't care about any of them, then this is what we recommend:
      • Limited banner "Butterfly Dream" for the Sexy-themed Flutter Storm set.
        • There aren't a lot of Sexy-themed pieces or sets and the other banner, Blooming Fantasy, has a SS-rating Sweet-themed set "Blooming Dreams".
        • If you are feeling spendy and want to get both sets, then you won't be short on 5-star Sweet-themed sets.
        • If you just want one piece, use the Ocean's Guidance feature to select one piece, such as the dress.
      • Permanent banner "Distant Sea" for the SS-rated Fresh-style "Blossoming Stars" or the SS-rated Sweet-style "Crystal Poems"
        • There are more Sweet outfits but the current Mira Crown time-limited Pinnacle Round 7 (ending Thu-Dec-19-2024 4AM PST) needs a complete set of Sweet-style outfit for maximum stars.
        • Crystal Poems is a 10-piece set with 6 pieces of jewelry and you are only allowed 5 in styling challenges, so if you are at 9 pieces and only one piece of jewelry left you can pause.
        • There are less Fresh wardrobe pieces but you can get by the challenges by upgrading the Floral Memory ability suit.
        • Either way you will likely end up investing in at least one S-rated set.
    • The game just launched so there are a lot of diamonds from one-time sources like quests and finding chests. However this will eventually dry up and you're left with the resetting Mira Crown Pinnacle challenge. So keep that in mind (especially if you are trying to stay free-to-play) and care more about completing challenges than just collecting fashion.
  • Don't blow all your Energy Crystals if you don't have to. Save some to replenish Vital Energy during various Wishfield Pinnacle challenge periods in case you suddenly need resources to craft something.
  • Use Realm of Nourishment to accelerate your Collection Insight so you can start getting Essences from your gathering. Otherwise the daily limits offer only very slow progress.
  • Don't try to do it immediately. You only need the full outfit to progress the Main Story in Chapter 8.
  • Don't do any styling challenges unless you have to for the main story. Try to delay as much as possible but keep an eye on when Mira Crown Pinnacle resets -- you might as well try to get whatever rewards you can in each period.
    • Use this time to get and upgrade Eurekas and buy out the entire bottom-right arc of the Heart of Infinity skill tree, which has bonuses to gear scores.
  • Try to invest only in SS-rating pieces or sets, which usually means 5-star sets.
    • Just about anything else is basically ultimately wasted resources.
    • If you don't have SS-rating pieces or sets, then S-rating is your next choice and often 3-star pieces will have this.
      • Ability Outfits are 4-star but often have a mix of S- and A- ratings on their pieces, so look carefully. Sets you get from Kilo the Cadenborn are better but have to be crafted with a lot of Vital Energy resources.
      • If you are low on choices, choose the best option but upgrade only enough to pass the challenge and wait for a better outfit later.
    • The main difference in star rating is total stats, and that generally matters only when you are relying on a piece for its Label for a challenge (e.g., Pastoral, Fairy, etcetera) and have the wrong Style for the challenge.
      • Having the correct Label adds a flat amount to your score based on the level of the piece, and 3-star pieces are the cheapest to Glow Up in level. At higher Glow-Up levels, this amount is typically higher than any of the individual stats.
  • Rely more on Eureka to win.
    • Eurekas can be recycled into other Eurekas as upgrade materials.
      • This is better than committing resources on a wardrobe piece and later not using it because you found something better. Once you have decided on a wardrobe set for challenges then it's safer to commit resources to it.
      • There is an Advanced Course task for collecting 50 Max-Level Eurekas, so if you spend on an S-rating Eureka with a style you can't get from SS-rating Eurekas, it's not totally wasted.
    • Try to delay doing Realm of Eureka until you can do it on Normal Difficulty where you can get 5-star Eurekas.
    • When you get 5-star Eurekas from Realm of Eureka, steadily get them to maximum level (10) and let these carry you in the lower-level styling challenges.
    • Your ability to upgrade Eurekas can be greatly accelerated by buying the premium battle pass "Distant Anthem".
      • If you don't buy that, you'll end up spending more Vital Energy on Eurekas but that's not too bad since it's more chances to get full sets of SS-rating Eurekas.
      • You can delay upgrading your Collections score through the Realm of Nourishment until you need specific Essences.
  • For Sweet-themed sets, the game does give out quite a bit. We recommend the Starlit Celebration set if you collected it as part of the giveaway for Nikki's birthday (it should be in your in-game mail) and cautiously level that up if you need it to pass styling challenges.
  • Cool-themed clothing will probably be an issue but there are at least two 5-star rated Cool pieces you can craft. The first one is fairly early in the game if you follow the main quest.
    • You get the sketch for "Raging Bouldy" after fighting your first Bouldy.
    • You get the sketch for "Endless Hug" late in the main quest, in Chapter 7.
  • All challenges involve a Style but simply choosing the highest star rating and level is not always optimal.
    • Especially for Accessories, sometimes a lower-star rating item will contribute more to your score.
      • It's pretty tedious to check, but you can remove all accessories and for each category add the best piece and record the improved score. Then select the five pieces that improve the score the most and put those on for the challenge.
    • For challenges involving a Label, clothing with that label contributes more than its Style score indicates, so after filtering for Style, Reset your filters and choose only the Label. Look through the label-filtered selections again to see if a piece with the challenge label can give you a higher score.
  • Remember Outerwear
    • Sets typically do not have an Outerwear piece, so when you select an entire set, check the Outerwear category. Even if a piece doesn't have the correct Style, it can still contribute a little bit to your score.
  • As you craft pieces of Wishful Aurosa, level them up for Elegant-style challenges.
    • The Wishful Aurosa is sadly only comparable to a 5-star from the Permanent banner and nothing exceptional. But at least you don't have to pull more 5-star pieces from banners.
    • Of course you'll want to start with the lower-level areas like Florawish where you can win with minimal or no materials investment.
