How Agent unlocks work
Agents are a persistent progression question, not a reason to invent a shortcut. The current CapyDB Agent unlock guide lists ten Agents and says that a completed task must be claimed on the Tasks page in the Bar. Nik is available from the start. Saya is marked as DLC. The task text below is secondary PC-build data, checked October 9, 2026.
Agent unlock and loadout table
| Agent | Unlock task | Starting weapon(s) | Ability or build hook |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nik | Available from the start | Windcaller | Taking damage drops extra coins through Legacy Watch. |
| Saya (DLC) | Reach floor 5 successfully | Sakurafall and Pink Blaze | Rabbit & Bear lets her switch to Sakura; Sakura’s level matches her primary weapon. |
| Elise | Hatch eggs 8 times, accumulated | Warming | Plush Gloves brings Kiddy, who wakes nearby dazed Hatchmons. |
| Xuan | Have 10 purple wisps at once in one run | Fanchen | Grazing bullets charges the Gourd; full charge clears nearby bullets and grants brief invincibility. |
| R-7 | Have 7 shields at once in one run | Andromeda | At Death’s Door, Abnormal Chip converts hearts to shields and weapon damage rises as shields are collected. |
| Mira | Use 30 bombs in one run | Mania | Damage throws clown bombs and draws a random card buff through Maniac Poker. |
| James | Use 30 different weapons, accumulated | Wildwolf | Wedding Rings lets James carry two weapons and gives extra Soul Shards from extraction. |
| Lúcia | Pick up 30 different Curios, accumulated | Fluorescent | Moon Crystal adds a Curio slot and restores one Crystal after each battle. |
| Tino | Use 30 Wonder Jars | Flow | Broken Trinket starts with a random Wonder Jar and two Wonder slots; Passive copies the held jar and triggers damage once. |
| Cassie | Open 100 locked chests | Glint | Carousel Music Box can unlock or steal goods; success depends on Luck and failure has a penalty. |
The table separates an unlock task from the ability that makes the Agent different. That matters when planning a route. A player chasing Xuan or R-7 is not merely collecting a name; the task asks for a resource state inside one run. By contrast, James, Lúcia, and Elise use accumulated progress. The game may expose additional UI wording or DLC requirements after this check, so re-open the task entry before publishing a new shortcut.
Choosing an Agent for a run
Choose the Agent after naming the run’s main loop. Nik fits a coin plan because damage creates extra coins, while James creates a two-weapon decision that pairs naturally with the weapon upgrades guide. Lúcia’s extra Curio slot and Crystal restoration can support the resource questions in the item synergy guide. Elise, Tino, and Xuan each ask you to pay attention to companions, Jars, or wisps rather than simply adding flat power.
R-7 and Mira make damage events part of the plan, but that does not make taking hits a recommendation. Their hooks are descriptions of what the ability does, not a safe route through a room. Cassie’s Luck-based outcome has a stated failure penalty, so treat it as a risk decision. In co-op, the multiplayer guide explains which resources are personal and how each player receives a weapon level-up room.
For broader run planning, use the beginner guide first and the contextual weapon tier list only after reading its evidence limits. The list does not rank Agents, and this page does not claim that one loadout wins every mode.
