In this guide, we'll dive into the mechanics of fashion duels and share essential tips to help you succeed.
How to Win a Fashion Duel?
First, let's understand what a fashion duel entails. In *Infinity Nikki*, you'll encounter NPCs who challenge you to dress your heroine to achieve a "Perfect" result. Initially, this is straightforward, as the starting outfits are sufficient to win duels effortlessly. However, as you progress, the challenge intensifies.

To succeed, focus on equipping items with the right stats. The game categorizes clothing into several styles: Fresh, Sexy, Cool, Sweet, and Elegant. If an NPC requests an Elegant outfit, dressing Nikki in Cool attire won't cut it.

Each item belongs to multiple categories but excels in one, indicated by the number of stars. For example, a five-star dress might have various stats, but if Elegant has the highest star rating, it's your best choice for an Elegant duel.

Higher-star clothing significantly boosts your chances of winning, especially in the later stages of the game. Simply wearing something from the boutique won't impress a discerning NPC, resulting in low points and no rewards.

Amassing a collection of five-star items is crucial. These can be acquired through Resonite Crystals and Revelation Crystals, which you can obtain by saving and spending Diamonds, receiving them from daily login bonuses, purchasing them in the shop, or as rewards for completing quests. Having complete sets will make winning duels much easier.

Occasionally, you might stumble upon some five-star items, though this is rare.
While it's possible to win with lower-star items, it's significantly harder and less likely to earn you a "Perfect" rating. It's more efficient to invest time in finding blueprints or earning Diamonds to acquire top-tier clothing.
