How to Unlock and Get Characters
You can get Characters in Duet Night Abyss (DNA) for free through commissions, quests, or from certain rewards. Learn how to get characters, how to unlock characters, and the best characters to get first in this guide!

How to Get Characters

  1. Farm Thoughts in Covert Commissions
  2. Buy Using Phoxene Plumules
  3. Characters As Quest Rewards
  4. Obtained From Event Rewards

Farm Thoughts in Covert Commissions

Duet Night Abyss Covert Commissions

The main way to unlock characters in Duet Night Abyss is by farming the Covert Commissions for character thoughts. You can unlock the commission after completing the side quest Go, Geniemons!

To get the thoughts of specific characters, you will have to use Secret Letters, which decides a Covert Commission's reward pool. These can be obtained by exchanging Secret Letter: Clues in the shop for character-specific Secret Letters.

List of All Commissions

Buy Using Phoxene Plumules

Duet Night Abyss Buy Using Premium Currency

If you don't want to spend hours grinding for a specific character, you can instead choose to buy them using Phoxene Plumules, the game's premium currency.

A total of 4500 Phoxene Plumules is required to get unlock a character.

You can also choose to just buy a specific number of character thoughts through the in-game shop if you're missing a few to unlock a character. Each character Thought costs 150 Phoxene Plumules.

How to Get Phoxene Plumules

Characters As Quest Rewards

Duet Night Abyss Progress Main Quest

Another way to get characters in Duet Night Abyss is by progressing through the game's main quests. Margie, for example, can be obtained just by finishing the prologue.

List of All Quests

Obtained From Event Rewards

Duet Night Abyss Immersive Theatre

Some events reward players with Character Thoughts or their Secret Letters, which you can use to farm Covert Commissions.

For example, completing stages I-IV of the Mysic Maze rewards players with Thoughts for Lisbell via the Restless Hum rewards. Immersive Theatre, on the other hand, grants Secret Letters for the game's newest character, along with their signature weapon.

How to Unlock Characters

Unlock Using Character Thoughts

As there are no Gacha mechanics for unlocking characters in Duet Night Abyss, the main way to get characters in the game now is by farming a character's thoughts.

There are specific thoughts for each character, and you need to farm 30 of them to unlock the characters through a method called Reminiscence. There are many ways you can get thoughts, but they are mainly obtained through commissions.

List of All Characters

Which Characters To Get First

Lady Nifle

Lady Nifle Icon Lady Nifle
Element Lumino Icon Lumino
Role DPS / Skill Damage

Lady Nifle is one of the best characters to unlock first. Although she is not as strong early on, she becomes a DPS machine at Intron Lv. 6 thanks to her ability to trigger her active skill with her ranged weapon.

She can be useful even without I6, but you will need to manage her sanity issues by supplementing her with Sanity-related buffs.

Psyche

Psyche Icon Psyche
Element Anemo Icon Anemo
Role DPS / Consonance Weapon / Weapon DMG / Skill DMG

Psyche is another DPS powerhouse that can deal huge ranged damage with her Consonance Weapon, all while hovering in the air away from all the danger.

Lynn

Lynn Icon Lynn
Element Pyro Icon Pyro
Role DPS / Consonance Weapon / Weapon DMG

Lynn is a ranged weapon specialist best known for her ultimate ability. This grants her access to her Consonance Weapon that deals extremely high amounts of damage to everything on the screen, all at the cost of losing all mobility while the skill is active.

Like Lady Nifle, Lynn's true power is unleashed at Intron Lv. 6, so it will likely be a long journey of gathering enough Thoughts. Still, she definitely packs a punch and is usable even without her I6 buff.

Fina

Fina Icon Fina
Element Lumino Icon Lumino
Role Support

Fina is the best offensive support for any character that relies on dealing weapon damage, Consonance Weapon users included. This is because Fina grants bonus elemental weapon damage to her party, as well as some PEN and straight-up damage to aid her team.

Fina herself can also be built as a weapon damage-oriented DPS threat at I6, while still offering her allies the buffs that make her special.

Tabethe

Tabethe Icon Tabethe
Element Hydro Icon Hydro
Role Support / Summon / Crowd Control

Tabethe offers the party potent buffs to their Skill DMG, which is perfect for any characters that primarily deal Skill DMG instead of Weapon DMG. This makes her the best offensive support for any Skill DMG-oriented character like Lady Nifle and Phantasio.
