Duet Night Abyss has a different take on the typical gacha model when it comes to unlocking new characters.
While the roster at global launch is fairly robust, you don’t have to rely on your luck to unlock new characters. Every character and weapon inside the game can be obtained by playing and completing certain tasks, without ever having to rely on a banner. We’ll highlight the complete process and remove any confusion you might have.

How to get more characters in Duet Night Abyss
Some characters, like Margie, are available for free in Duet Night Abyss. When I say free, I mean you don’t have to do much to obtain them. Just play the main story, and you’ll eventually unlock them. Here’s a list of characters currently available from this method.
- Berenica
- Daphne
- Lisbell
- Margie
- Outsider
- Truffle & Filbert
- Rebecca
As you might have wondered, there are more characters, and unlocking them will require the completion of a few more steps. You’ll have to find something called Thoughts to unlock characters that you want, but getting the resource requires you to complete a fair number of steps, starting with finding Secret Letter Clues.
How to get Secret Letter Clues in Duet Night Abyss
Secret Letter Clues are pretty easy to get, and they come from different sources. These clues are then used to purchase character-specific Secret Letters.
- You can gain 15 Clues daily by completing the Daily Commissions.
- You can gain more from opening chests and finishing side quests.
- Completing achievements also gets you extra clues, while you can get more from participating in various events.
To get the Secret Letters, you’ll have to go to the Covert Commissions tab from the Shop. While you’ll find the Secret Letters for most characters in this section, some are locked behind Nocturnal Echoes and Immersive Theater. These are endgame modes in Duet Night Abyss, so worry about them later.
How to Covert Commissions work in Duet Night Abyss
Covert Commissions are unlocked fairly early in Duet Night Abyss by completing missions on the main campaign. Once unlocked, you’ll find them in the Combat Menu (not to be confused with the tab in the Shop). You can complete them to choose between three rewards (based on your chosen Secret Letter).
- Bronze Tier rewards you with Character EXP materials
- Silver Tier rewards you with two Thoughts
- Gold Tier rewards you with ten Thoughts
You can complete Covert Commission either solo or with your friends.
How to use Thoughts in Duet Night Abyss
Once you have 30 Thoughts, select a character that you want to unlock. Go to the Armoury screen to complete the process. If you have more than 30 Thoughts, you can use them to get Intron bonuses, which is Duet Night Abyss‘ equivalent of character dupes.
