Duet Night Abyss Character Tier List – Global RELEASE

Duet Night Abyss has fully transitioned from its gacha rarity balance into a Warframe-style progression system, where every character can perform well when properly built. However, some units still excel as main characters under direct control, while others function better as AI companions due to their supportive or off-DPS potential. Below is a detailed Duet Night Abyss Character Tier List for both roles presented in natural, paragraph-style format.

Duet Night Abyss Character Tier List (Main & Companion Roles)

S Tier

Psyche stands as one of the strongest options for players who prefer fast, high-skill gameplay and reliable boss damage. Her potential scales extremely well when played actively, and she performs at her best during long fights where she can maintain pressure.

Lynn also belongs at the top, offering enormous burst potential that rewards precise timing and positioning. Her unique mechanics make her an exceptional all-rounder for both farming and boss content.

Phantasio completes the top tier with smooth rotations and powerful scaling potential. When mastered, he delivers consistent results across both crowd encounters and single-target challenges.

A Tier

Lady Nifle is a consistent main character option who can perform well in almost all situations. She maintains solid DPS while offering control and survivability, making her dependable in prolonged battles.

Sibylle fits comfortably here due to her solid single-target presence and balanced stats that suit extended engagements.

Yale and Oliver bring strong crowd-clearing potential when played manually, thanks to their unique explosive mechanics that are best executed by a skilled player.

Berenica remains a viable DPS even after balance changes, retaining her fluid playstyle and steady output through her ult-driven sword techniques.

Tabethe earns a spot in this tier with a focus on reliable boss elimination, showcasing effective burst potential and easy rotation management.

B Tier

Hellfire serves as a durable choice for players who prefer a safer, tankier main with consistent AOE clear.

Truffle and Filbert function as flexible mains with decent mobility and balanced stats, allowing them to stay active throughout most encounters.

Randy is a dependable frontline option who provides protection while maintaining acceptable offense.

Rhythm brings a mix of utility and manageable damage, ideal for players who value movement and crowd control during exploration.

C Tier

Rebecca specializes in area-of-effect gameplay but struggles in pure boss fights, placing her slightly below average as a main.

Outsider offers safety and survivability, though his damage ceiling remains modest compared to top performers.

Daphne can be played as a main but thrives more naturally as a support companion, limiting her primary role value.

Margie delivers moderate AOE output that works well in farming but fails to keep pace in late-game encounters.

AI Companion Tier List

S Tier

 

Daphne stands at the top of companion supports, providing healing, attack boosts, and debuffs that make her indispensable for most teams.

Hellfire offers teamwide safety through taunting and regeneration effects, allowing your main to focus entirely on damage output.

Lady Nifle performs exceptionally well in companion mode, applying steady debuffs and consistent off-DPS that benefit the whole squad.

Truffle and Filbert excel in this category thanks to their balance of durability and buffing, offering strong support without sacrificing damage potential.

Lynn also transitions seamlessly into a companion slot, maintaining her reliable output and enhancing overall team synergy.

A Tier

Psyche retains strong performance as an AI companion when properly managed, often delivering respectable damage alongside healing-like sustain effects.

Phantasio contributes solid off-DPS and complements aggressive mains well with his flexible rotations.

Rebecca remains valuable as a poison-based companion who handles crowd control efficiently.

Tabethe fits comfortably as a secondary attacker, consistently providing extra elemental output.

Randy performs well as a protective AI, using barriers and shields to mitigate incoming damage for the main character.

B Tier

Outsider provides steady background damage and shielding capabilities, ensuring survival even in tougher fights.

Rhythm remains a balanced off-DPS companion who helps reposition or group enemies effectively.

Margie brings simple yet consistent AOE contribution as a companion, working well in farming or relaxed setups.

C Tier

Yale and Oliver lose much of their manual precision when controlled by the AI, reducing their overall value as companions.

Sibylle struggles to maintain proper skill timing, resulting in inconsistent performance.

Berenica also suffers from poor AI handling, as her Sanity-based mechanics require human control to reach full potential.

The best characters to control directly are Psyche, Lynn, and Phantasio, all of whom deliver top-tier damage output and strong scaling when handled actively. Those looking for dependable support and sustained team power should rely on Daphne, Hellfire, Lady Nifle, and Truffle & Filbert in their companion slots. Every character in Duet Night Abyss can perform well in the right setup, but the combinations of a powerful main DPS and reliable AI support remain the key to efficient progression and late-game success.
