Styling Challenges can feel like a free-for-all in Infinity Nikki, so knowing exactly how Florawish’s factions stack up will set you up for success early on. It’s explained briefly as you investigate the source of the mysterious comas in Florawish, but then it leaves you to your own devices. Faction Styling Challenges are one of the game’s main sources of “battle” outside of taking on Esslings, so if you’re looking for dress-up 1v1s, Styling Challenges are the way to go.
Each Styling Challenge in Inifinity Nikki is a unique encounter that asks Nikki to present an outfit that follows a certain theme, and the theme is king when it comes to most of these encounters. Some style-based quests, like Kindled Inspiration quests, require you to wear a certain item or an item with a specific tag. Styling Challenges are a bit simpler, and this simplicity often leads to the silliest of outfits. It’s practically Nikki tradition to win challenges using only the best outfit pieces possible, but this method often leads to high-scoring but horrible outfits. Use your styling skills to take on the various Factions in Florawish and the Sovereign of Cool.
Golden Daisies Styling Challenges
Three Easier Styling Challenges To Start Off
The Golden Daisies are the first and simplest Faction in Florawish and will offer the lowest level of challenge for stylists who are just starting out. It has three members, led by Salai. You can take on Farini and Jiller after completing the “Unexplained Coma Incidents” quest early on in the game, and you won’t be able to approach Salai until you’ve done so. Each member has their own challenge and their theme:

It’s Not Worth It, Says Infinity Nikki Fan Who Spend 10 Million Blings In Surprise-O-Matic
Is the Surprise-O-Matic in Infinity Nikki worth the in-game money? After spending 10 million bling to get all of the items, one fan thinks it’s not.
There’s nothing too complex about these styling challenges, and as long as you follow the tags that are given with the challenge, you should have no issue passing all three of these encounters. If you find yourself having some trouble, upgrade the outfit pieces you’re using to boost your score. Once you’ve defeated all three of these stylists, you’re ready to take on the Ebony Scissors.

Ebony Scissors Styling Challenges
Four More Members And A Bit More Of A Challenge
The Ebony Scissors are the most criminal of the Factions in Florawish; their M.O. is stealing Sketches from other stylists after defeating them in battle. There doesn’t seem to be any law-enforcement focusing on tracking them down, so it’s up to Nikki and Momo to stop them from terrorizing the stylists of Florawish. There are four members of this organization, with Ricardo at the helm:

Kadru |

Stylishly Cool (Cool) |
You’ll face Kadru by default during the “Unexplained Coma Incidents” quest, so that’s one out of the way. Ramone and Legrand are easy enough to find and take down; Legrand awards a “perfect” to the Rippling Serenity Fishing Outfit, while Ramone only requires Elegant clothes that are easy enough to come by thanks to the many free pulls Infold offers new players. Once you’ve faced all three of his lackeys, you can find Ricardo at night. His first challenge required me to upgrade my clothes, but only a few levels. Next up on the challenge docket is the Beyond the Basics faction.
Before you can challenge any Beyond the Basics stylists, you must challenge Pepsa in the Breezy Meadow at the Cicia Art Academy Field Base.
Beyond the Basics Styling Challenges
Five Final Stylists To Reveal The Sovereign Of Cool
Beyond the Basics are the biggest faction in Florawish and your final stepping stone to defeating the Sovereign of Cool. Thanks to their position as gatekeeper to the region’s “boss fight,” they’re also the most difficult faction to challenge, but worry not. With your styling expertise and the help of all the patterns you’ve collected so far, you should have very little issue taking the five of them on:

You’ll need to defeat all four stylists before Silvo is revealed as the leader, and once he’s been defeated, ready yourself to challenge the Sovereign of Cool. The Sovereign is a Faction in and of itself, so you’re not quite ready to take on the final boss. Instead, you’ll have a few more lackeys to defeat before you’re done with styling challenges in Florawish.
Sovereign of Cool Styling Challenges
Defeat Three More Stylists To Reach The Sovereign
After defeating your last Beyond the Basics member, you’ll automatically unlock the “Sovereign’s Challenge! Ultimate Showdown” world quest. This quest will point you towards the Sovereign of Cool, but not her location specifically. To find out where she is, you’ll need to talk to Salai again south of the Mayor’s house. Salai will tell you about the three brothers who work for the Sovereign, and you’ll need to defeat them before you can challenge her:

There are many ways to defeat Aderinna’s Styling Challenge, but you will need to put your all into your outfit. Many of the pieces you’ve gathered so far, like your Rippling Serenity Ability Outfit, will work for the theme, but you’ll need to upgrade them to at least Level Four and ensure that your Eurekas are suitably upgraded. Defeat Aderinna to get your rewards, including crafting materials for Wishful Aurosa.
Once you’ve defeated the Sovereign of Cool in Florawish, you can move on to the Breezy Meadows Factions for yet more Styling Challenges. They’ll offer more of a challenge than the ones in Florawish, so be prepared to upgrade your clothes before being able to defeat anyone. Styling Challenges offer some of the most rewarding gameplay in Infinity Nikki, pulling player focus away from the shiny open-world exploration and back to the franchise’s core: defeating your enemies with the power of fashion.
