Duet Night Abyss Character Unlocking & Tier List: Build the Best Team Without Spending a Cent

Forget random rolls and paywalls—Duet Night Abyss has flipped the mobile RPG formula on its head. In a revolutionary move, the game completely removed its gacha system, letting every player unlock powerful characters entirely through gameplay. That means success now depends on your strategy, not your wallet.

If you’ve just landed in the dark, dual-protagonist world of Duet Night Abyss, this guide breaks down how to unlock every character, which ones to prioritize, and how to efficiently farm their resources to assemble the best team possible.


๐Ÿงฉ How the New Character Unlocking System Works

Duet Night Abyss Character Unlocking & Tier List
The old luck-based mechanics are gone. Instead, players use Secret Letter Clues, Secret Letters, and Thoughts (character fragments) to recruit heroes. Here’s how the loop works:


  1. Collect Secret Letter Clues: Earn 15 per day via Daily Commissions, side quests, achievements, and weekly events like Mystic Maze and Nocturnal Echoes.

  2. Exchange for Secret Letters: Trade 10 clues for a character-specific letter in the Shop.

  3. Run Covert Commissions: Use your Secret Letter before starting a Covert mission to earn Thoughts.

  4. Unlock Characters: Gather 30 Thoughts for any character and unlock them in the Armoury > Reminiscence menu.

This makes Duet Night Abyss one of the fairest character systems in modern mobile gaming—no RNG, no spending, just progress.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategic Unlocking Recommendations

Early-Game Focus

  • Margie — Free starter unit; decent until you unlock higher-tier DPS.

  • Berenica — Reliable and safe mobility option for early content.

  • Truffle & Filbert — Your early healer/tank hybrid with long uptime ultimates.

Endgame Farming Targets

  • Rebecca — SS-tier DPS for AoE-heavy encounters.

  • Daphne — Essential healer that fits all comps.

  • Lisbell — High-skill, high-reward burst unit for advanced players.


๐Ÿ”ฎ The Intron System Explained

Once you’ve unlocked a character, duplicate Thoughts power them up via the Intron system (similar to Eidolons or Constellations).

  • Lady Nifle and Rhythm reach top-tier performance at Intron 6.

  • Lynn becomes much more viable with higher Introns.

Plan your farming to focus on these long-term investments.
