The gameplay cycle of Duet Night Abyss is typical of most modern RPGs, in which you complete story missions, gather resources, and upgrade your team to unlock harder content. As such, you should prioritize the following during the early game:

• Progress through the campaign to unlock core features such as weapon forging, Demon Wedges, and Daily Commissions.
• Explore the areas to open chests and break environmental objects to explore and gather resources.
• Focus on advancing both main and side quests to obtain experience, characters, and crafting items.

While the information above pertains to the basic gameplay loop of DNA, being aware of the following tips and tricks will make your progression much easier:

Utilize the dual-weapon system

Each character in Duet Night Abyss wields both a melee and a ranged weapon. While the former excels in close combat, the latter are essential to counter fliers. Master the art of switching based on the situation to excel.

Learn about Dodging, Helix Jump, and movement

Considering you have limited Dodging in this game, you must use it strategically to evade damage rather than spamming.

If needed, you can also use the Helix Jump mechanic to dodge, as it lets you leap and plunge into combat. The mechanic can also be used together with movement skills to perform combos.

Understand elemental reactions

Similar to RPGs like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves, DNA also includes a comprehensive elemental system where each element reacts with the other to provide either an advantage or a disadvantage. As such, learning more about these elemental reactions can do wonders for you in combat.

Use resources efficiently

During the early game, we recommend that you concentrate your upgrade materials (EXP, Demon Wedges, ascension items) on one or two main characters. You do not want to spend your resources on multiple units that may not prove to be useful in the long run. You can also refer to tier lists to prioritize which ones to upgrade.

Additionally, don't shy away from leveling up your go-to melee and ranged weapons as they are crucial for damage output.

Don't overlook daily progression

Since the beginning of Duet Night Abyss, stay consistent with daily commissions to earn EXP, Wedge materials, and more. Missing out on the daily rewards can negatively affect your progression rate.

Collect all launch rewards
