Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* is a unique process that involves collecting items known as Prototype Analyzers. These are essential for unlocking new characters, except for the DLC characters, which are available for purchase. Our comprehensive *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide will walk you through how to obtain Prototype Analyzers and provide a detailed list of all playable characters.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey to unlock characters begins right after completing the tutorial, where you receive your first Prototype Analyzer. This initial boost guides you to the Acer Program room. Exit this room through the passage on your right, and you'll find yourself in a room with a glowing platform. Interact with this platform to access the character selection menu and choose your desired character.
For subsequent unlocks, return to this room and interact with the platform using additional Prototype Analyzers. Note that DLC characters, such as Rachel and Hazama (available as of March 2025), are automatically unlocked upon purchasing and installing their respective character packs.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Get More Prototype Analyzers
*Entropy Effect* offers several methods to acquire more Prototype Analyzers, each requiring patience and dedication.
Progress the Story
As you advance through the game's story and complete training missions, you'll unlock gray skills. Reaching specific milestones in this progression rewards you with Prototype Analyzers:
- Unlocking 10 gray skills
- Unlocking 20 gray skills
- Unlocking 40 gray skills
Additionally, completing a key event later in the story automatically grants you another Prototype Analyzer. Note that unlocking green skills via Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. Unless developer 91Act introduces more skills or alternative methods through story quests, you're limited to acquiring three Prototype Analyzers this way.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another avenue for obtaining Prototype Analyzers is through the Mind Challenge mode. After accumulating Action Points (AP) by completing these challenges, you can trade them with the janitor. However, this method is not frequent, as each Prototype Analyzer costs 5,000 AP.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 12 characters, with 10 available in the base game and 2 as paid DLC. Here's a rundown of each character and how to unlock them using Prototype Analyzers:
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is a melee fighter with a unique twist. He excels in close-range combat and gains power as his HP decreases. His special ability allows him to sacrifice health for buffs and then siphon some of it back from his opponents.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee specialist, focusing on swordplay and ice-based skills. He can freeze enemies and, with well-timed combos, boost his strength and confuse foes with super speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel excels in ranged combat, capable of firing missiles in any direction. Her special ability reduces skill cooldown times, and she can continue casting skills even after her MP hits zero using Over-Exhaust.
Taokaka
While Taokaka may struggle against heavily armored foes, her versatility in build options compensates for this. Her Spinny Spinny attack can hit multiple times and build status effects, making her adaptable to various playstyles.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, with slow but powerful attacks and high durability. Successfully blocking attacks allows him to counter with skills at a reduced MP cost, and he can be equipped with a midair attack for versatility.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 is adept at both close and long-range combat. Her skills continue to damage enemies even when not directly attacking, making her a versatile choice for any combat scenario.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe is often considered one of the weaker characters due to her reliance on managing lasers and crowd control effects. However, with the right damage-over-time build, she can be highly effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki excels at evasion and crowd control, making him ideal for keeping enemies at bay. While not the most powerful, his ability to avoid damage is a significant advantage.
Es
Es is exceptionally powerful even without unlocking potentials. She can counter after dodging, perform mid-air combos, and has crowd-control abilities, making her a well-rounded character.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master. Her effectiveness lies in stringing together combos for maximum damage and mobility, with her Heavy Attack being a key component.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is incredibly powerful, with fast movement and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her abilities cover a wide area, and one of her moves is nearly impossible for enemies to evade, making her a top choice for players.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic play due to his input-heavy moves. While there's a steep learning curve, mastering his skills makes him one of the game's strongest characters.
That concludes our guide on unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*. With this information, you're well-equipped to expand your roster and enhance your gameplay experience.
