Duet Night Abyss Tier List 2025: Best Characters to Build

Character

Role / Class

Description

Phantasio

Electro DPS

One of the most explosive DPS characters in the game. In Bestial Fury mode, Phantasio’s ultra-fast attacks can melt elites and bosses while still excelling in AoE crowd clears. Though he can be squishy, pairing him with a healer like Daphne unlocks his full potential.

Lynn

Pyro DPS

A powerhouse who channels all her damage through her Ultimate state. While immobile during her burst, she delivers devastating Pyro damage and gains self-stacking ATK SPD boosts. Scales dramatically at Intron 6, making her one of the game’s strongest late-game units.

Psyche

Aero DPS

A high-mobility DPS who excels in aerial combat. Her Ultimate allows her to fly and unleash powerful wind-based attacks while self-buffing multiple times. Performs exceptionally well in both mid and late-game due to strong scaling and sustain.

Lady Nifle

Lumino Hybrid / Debuff DPS

A hybrid DPS who mixes heavy debuffs with high burst potential. She wields both Umbro and Lumino elements, offering crowd control and strong scaling through skill stacking. Especially dominant at Intron 6, though early-game sanity issues limit her efficiency.

Character

Role / Class

Description

Berenica

Umbro DPS / Assassin

A mobile stealth DPS who excels at hit-and-run gameplay. Her passive restores sanity, letting her spam abilities and dodge attacks efficiently. While her burst is lower than SS-tier units, her safety and mobility make her a top-tier pick for players who favor evasive playstyles.

Rhythm

Electro DPS / AoE Specialist

Fast and fluid with excellent mobility, Rhythm shines in clearing multiple enemies using her Volt Rush chains. Her Electro Charge spreads between enemies, scaling her damage significantly at Intron 2 and beyond. One of the strongest AoE-focused DPS options in the game.

Lisbell

Lumino DPS / Burst Striker

A rapid-fire blaster who unleashes devastating AoE combos during her Ultimate. Lisbell’s charged heavy attacks with Samael deal massive burst damage, especially at max combo level. She thrives at both Intron 0 and 6, offering powerful crowd control and flashy gameplay.

Rebecca

Hydro Support / Summoner

A semi-supportive DPS who commands powerful Hydro summons to deal sustained AoE damage. Her summons enable passive farming and mob control, making her invaluable in early-to-mid game progression. Outscaled by pure DPS units later but remains a versatile support choice.

Sibylle

Electro DPS / Hybrid Tank

An Electro damage dealer who combines burst potential with sustain. Her chain-lightning skills hit multiple enemies, and her damage scales off both HP and skill multipliers, making her tanky yet powerful. Performs best in Electro-based team compositions.

Character

Role / Class

Description

Hellfire

Pyro Tank / Support

A durable tank who draws aggro using her taunt-based Ultimate while dealing consistent AoE Pyro damage. She can heal herself and allies periodically, providing both offense and sustain. Her strength scales notably at Intron 6, making her a solid defensive pick for late-game content.

Yale and Oliver

Dual Umbro DPS / Bomber

A duo unit who uses delayed-detonation bombs for strong burst damage and safe aerial attacks. Their hovering combat style allows ranged engagement, but delayed explosions require timing and precision. A high-skill but rewarding choice for players who prefer tactical play.

Outsider

Aero Hybrid / Utility DPS

Specializes in survivability and self-sustain with stealth and Ultra Shield mechanics. While his direct damage is lower than top-tier DPS, he offers reliable weapon buffs and team utility. Works well in supportive Anemo (Aero) team compositions.

Randy

Electro Brawler / Defensive Tank

A frontliner capable of generating barriers that protect allies and immobilize enemies. Scales with DEF, turning her into a strong late-game shield breaker and team protector. Though slow early, her impact grows exponentially at higher Introns.

Truffle and Filbert

Umbro Support / Healer Duo

A two-in-one healer unit that provides both strong sustain and small damage buffs. Their healing scales with HP and skill damage, making them dependable companions in long fights. While not high in damage, their flexibility keeps them relevant across all team types.

Tabethe

Electro Support / Summoner

Uses tentacle summons for crowd control and minor supplemental damage. Although her summons lack high scaling, they provide consistent CC and decent passive damage, making her useful for players who prefer safer, summon-oriented playstyles.

Phoxhunter

Lumino Support / Hybrid Buffer

A straightforward buffer who increases team Weapon DMG and grants Ultra Shields for added survivability. Works best as a sub-DPS or support partner in Lumino compositions. Her supportive abilities are fully available even at low Intron levels, making her a great starter pick.

Character

Role / Class

Description

Margie

Pyro Support / Buffer

A support unit focused on skill recycling and efficiency boosts through her Jackpot mechanic. While she can slightly improve resource management in early-game runs, her damage and buff values don’t scale well at higher Introns, limiting her long-term value.

Daphne

Aero Support / Healer

A pure healer who provides reliable team sustain but little offensive presence. Her healing skills and coordinated attacks can keep allies alive in long fights, though her lack of damage and outdated scaling make her less viable beyond early content. Still valuable as a partner unit for fragile DPS characters.
