While exploring the Miraland world in Infinity Nikki, you will likely come across not just Esselings but Shielded Esselings. While running across the game’s vast open world and collecting the abundance of craftable materials, Bling, and Whimstars that are needed to create each of the outfits in the game, Esselings are sure to appear in the wilderness at some of the most random times, which will result in Nikki needing to embrace her combat skills. While Esselings can be defeated with a straight-forward Purification attack, Shielded Esselings might require a little more effort.
