Picking the right weapon in Duet Night Abyss can make all the difference in a fight. From fast melee blades to heavy elemental cannons, every weapon changes how you play. Here’s a quick look at the best weapons you should focus on — and why they dominate the battlefield.

Weapon types in Duet Night Abyss

Duet Night Abyss features 12 distinct weapon classes divided into two main categories: melee and ranged. Melee weapons require close-quarters combat, allowing you to strike enemies up close, while ranged weapons enable attacking from a distance by shooting projectiles and using energy.

Melee weapons are designed for close combat, requiring you to be near the enemy to strike effectively. They typically have powerful, direct attacks and generate Phoxene energy when used. Ranged weapons, on the other hand, allow you to attack from a distance, consuming Phoxene energy to shoot projectiles or beams at enemies. This dual weapon system encourages a rhythm of melee attacks to build energy and ranged attacks to expend it strategically.
