What are Whimstars used for?

Players familiar with Genshin Impactanother open-world gacha game, will find Whimstars reminiscent of the Oculus found in every region of Teyvat. However, Whimstars play a much larger role in Infinity Nikkias they are important for unlocking various nodes in Heart of Infinity.


The Heart of Infinity is a skill tree system accessible via the upper right corner of the UI or by pressing the “I” shortcut on PC. Along with Bling and Insight, Whimstars are used to unlock a range of features, including sketches, items and attribute boosts. Some of these Sketches allow players to create Ability Outfits, which are not only necessary to progress the story but also to engage in various activities in the open world.

Unlocking nodes in Heart of Infinity provides many benefits, such as making open-world exploration more accessible and improving the collection efficiency of materials such as flowers, fur, insects, and fish. Additionally, the attribute boosts from these nodes contribute to higher stats and style points, an important aspect of the game.

Different types of Whimstars


While all Whimstars serve the same purpose to unlock nodes in Heart of Infinity, there are several types in the open world, each with unique methods of acquisition. The easiest Whimstars can be collected by simply walking up to them. But others require players to complete challenges or use their ability outfits to obtain them.

  • Curio Whimstars: These start out as pink cubes but turn into doors when approached. Players must enter the domain created by the cube and complete the puzzle challenge within to collect the Whimstar.
  • Whimstar Pieces: These require players to collect all the scattered pieces of the star within a short time frame.
  • Cloud Whimstars: Players must use a moving cloud platform to collect all the pieces before it reaches the end of its journey. This can be challenging, as some plays require players to temporarily jump from the cloud.
  • Whimflutter Whimstars: Carried by glowing Whimflutters, these Whimstars require a Bug Catching outfit Afternoon glow to catch.
  • Whimink Whimstars: Available in furry animal form, these Whimstars can only be obtained with the Animal Grooming outfit, Bye-bye Dust.
  • Whimfin Whimstars: These Whimstars are in the water and must be fished out with the fishing outfit, Rippling calm.
