SS-Tier

These characters represent the absolute pinnacle of power in Duet Night Abyss. They possess unique, game-warping mechanics that deliver disproportionately high damage or utility. Prioritizing these units is your fastest track to endgame dominance.

Phantasio

Role: Electro DPS

Why SS-Tier: Phantasio is a pure destruction engine. Upon activating his Ultimate and entering his Bestial Fury state, he unleashes a whirlwind of ultra-fast, hard-hitting attacks that can annihilate both single targets and groups. While he can be vulnerable, pairing him with a healer unlocks his full, meta-defining potential. His damage output is simply unmatched.

Lady Nifle

Role: Lumino Hybrid / Debuff DPS

Why SS-Tier: A versatile queen of the battlefield. Lady Nifle boasts high-damage, wide-range skills that can also be focused for powerful single-target strikes. She uniquely utilizes both Umbro and Elemental effects, applying crucial debuffs like Attack Down and Slow. She is a top-tier Main DPS who also brings immense value as a Combat Partner.

Psyche

Role: Anemo DPS

Why SS-Tier: Psyche redefines mobility and sustained damage. Her Ultimate allows her to take to the skies, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks from a safe, aerial position. She possesses strong self-buffs and scales exceptionally well, making her a dominant force from the mid-game onward. Her ability to avoid ground-based damage is a huge advantage.

Lynn

Role: Pyro DPS

Why SS-Tier: Lynn is a straightforward yet devastating artillery piece. She channels all her power into her Ultimate, which deals massive AoE Pyro damage. While immobile during this state, she gains self-stacking Attack Speed buffs, making her damage ramp up significantly. Her power skyrockets at Intron 6, cementing her as a top-tier late-game carry.

 

S-Tier

These characters form the essential backbone of any high-level team. They offer excellent performance, great synergy, and are fantastic long-term investments. You cannot go wrong building a team around these units.

Rhythm

Role: Electro DPS / AoE Specialist

Why S-Tier: Rhythm combines excellent mobility with potent AoE damage. Her Volt Rush ability lets her dart around the battlefield safely while applying Electro Charge, which spreads between enemies. She becomes an AoE-clearing monster at higher Intron levels, making her a reliable and powerful choice.

Lisbell

Role: Lumino DPS / Burst Striker

Why S-Tier: Lisbell is a high-octane burst damage dealer. She unleashes devastating AoE combos during her Ultimate and her charged heavy attacks can delete enemies. She performs well at all Intron levels and offers a satisfying, flashy playstyle centered around building and spending combo points.

Rebecca

Role: Hydro Support / Summoner

Why S-Tier: Rebecca is an early-game queen and a consistent late-game sub-DPS. Her Hydro summons provide sustained off-field damage and area denial for up to 13 seconds, making farming and defending objectives a breeze. While her personal damage may be outscaled by pure DPS units, her utility and passive damage remain invaluable.

Berenica

Role: Umbro DPS / Assassin

Why S-Tier: Berenica is the epitome of safe and mobile damage. Her skills function as both attacks and evades, and her unique passive can restore large chunks of Sanity, allowing her to spam abilities. While her burst damage may not top the charts, her survivability and consistent pressure make her a top-tier pick for challenging content.

Fina

Role: Hydro Support / Buffer

Why S-Tier (as Combat Partner): While a viable DPS at high investment, Fina truly shines as a Combat Partner. She is, without a doubt, one of the best supports in the game. Her abilities provide powerful team-wide damage buffs, particularly for elemental weapon damage, making your main DPS hit significantly harder.

 

A-Tier

A-Tier characters are fully capable of clearing all content and often bring valuable specialized utility. They may require more specific team compositions or higher investment to match the output of higher tiers, but they are excellent for filling out your roster.

Hellfire (Pyro Tank): A durable tank who taunts enemies and deals periodic AoE damage. She requires alternative healing support but becomes a fantastic defensive anchor at Intron 6.

Yale and Oliver (Pyro Bomber): A high-skill duo that deals strong delayed burst damage from the safety of the skies. Their unique playstyle is powerful but can be tricky to master.

Truffle & Filbert (Anemo Support): A reliable healer duo that also provides a useful team-wide Attack buff. They offer great sustain and flexibility.

Sibylle (Electro DPS): A hybrid tank/DPS who deals chain-lightning damage scaling from HP. She has high potential but can be reliant on Intron investment and proper team synergy to truly shine.

Outsider (Anemo Utility): Excels in survivability with stealth and shields. He relies heavily on strong weapons to deal damage, functioning as a sturdy utility pick.

B-Tier

These characters are useful when you're starting your journey but generally lack the scaling, damage, or utility needed for optimized endgame play. It's recommended to replace them with higher-tier units when possible.

Margie (Pyro Support): Her Jackpot mechanic is inconsistent, and her buffs don't scale well into the late game, making her a niche pick.

Daphne (Anemo Healer): A pure healer who excels at keeping the team alive but offers almost no offensive presence. She is outclassed by supports who can both heal and buff damage.

Randy (Electro Tank): Provides shields and crowd control, but his damage is notably low until very high Intron investment.

 

Conclusion

Here is the complete Duet Night Abyss tier list. The optimal strategy is to vertically invest your resources in one SS or S-Tier Main DPS (such as Phantasio, Lynn, or Psyche) and pair them with a top-tier Support like Fina. This core duo, when complemented by a character that activates an Elemental or Faction Resonance, is more than enough to conquer any challenge the Abyss throws your way.
