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 begins right after completing the tutorial, where you'll receive your first Prototype Analyzer. This initial boost guides you to the Acer Program room. Exit this room through the passage on your right, leading you to 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, you'll receive one automatically after a significant event later in the story. However, unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. Unless developer 91Act introduces more skills or alternative methods, you're limited to acquiring three through story progression.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another avenue involves the Mind Challenge mode, where you earn points (AP). You can trade these points with the janitor for a Prototype Analyzer, though this isn't a frequent opportunity. Each Prototype Analyzer costs 5,000 AP, so plan your spending wisely.
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 intricate swordplay and ice-based skills. He can freeze enemies and, with well-timed combos, boost his strength and confuse foes with enhanced speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel excels in ranged combat, capable of launching 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 apply 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 combos require practice, but once mastered, she offers high mobility and damage potential.
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.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic play due to his complex moves. Mastering his skills involves a steep learning curve, but once achieved, he becomes 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.
