Vital Energy, as its name suggests, is a crucial resource inInfinity Nikki, necessary for collecting various upgrades and progressing a player’s account. Similar to many other gacha games, Vital Energy functions as the game’s stamina system, essentially gating how quickly players can advance.
There are several ways players can replenish Vital Energy inInfinity Nikki, and some are more costly than others. Here’s an overview ofhow Vital Energy is used and the methods to restore it.
How to Spend Vital Energy in Infinity Nikki
Vital Energycan be spent to obtain various rewards inInfinity Nikki, including upgrade materials, Insight, and crafting resources. This stamina system should feel familiar to gacha players, as it functions similarly toTrailblaze Power fromHonkai: Star Rail. Vital Energy is primarily used in Realm Challenges, which can be accessed via Warp Spires (teleport points) scattered across Miraland.
Access to Realm Challenges is unlocked relatively early in the main story ofInfinity Nikki, after players speak with Tokar at the Stylist’s Guild. There are a total of five different Realm Challenges, though not all are available at the start. Players unlock additional Realm Challenges as they progress through the main story. For every 10 Vital Energy spent, players earn 100 Mira EXP, which is essential for advancing their Mira Level (account level)—similar to theInter-Knot Level inZenless Zone Zero.

How to Get Vital Energy in Infinity Nikki
Similar to thestamina systems in other gacha games,Vital EnergyinInfinity Nikkiregenerates passively over time, recovering 1 point every 5 minutes and capping at350 points. Once it reaches the cap, Vital Energy will stop accumulating, as there is currently no overflow feature in place. To avoid wasting this resource, players should monitor their Vital Energy usage to prevent over-capping. From zero, it takes29 hours and 10 minutesfor Vital Energy to completely replenish to 350, giving players ample time each day to use it effectively.
For those looking to progress more quickly, there are alternative methods to replenish Vital Energy. One option is using Energy Crystals, which restore 80 points of Vital Energy each. These items can be acquired from various sources, including Mira Level rewards, events, the Mira Journey (Battlepass),and promotional codes, making them a valuable resource for players aiming to avoid downtime.
Another method involves spending Diamonds to refill Vital Energy. Each refill restores 80 points, butthis approach is generally not recommended for free-to-play or low-spending players, as Diamonds are a precious and limited currency primarily used for Resonance,the gacha system inInfinity Nikki. The initial cost of a refill is 50 Diamonds, but the price increases with each subsequent use, and players are limited to a maximum of six refills with Diamonds per day.
