Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* is a unique process, requiring items known as Prototype Analyzers, except for DLC characters which you can unlock with a purchase. Our comprehensive *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide not only details how to acquire these Prototype Analyzers but also provides a full rundown of all the playable characters you can enjoy.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey to unlocking characters begins right after the tutorial, where you receive your first Prototype Analyzer. To use it, simply exit the Acer Program room via 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, revisit this room and interact with the platform using additional Prototype Analyzers. Remember, DLC characters like 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 obtain more Prototype Analyzers, though they require 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 grants you Prototype Analyzers:
- Unlocking 10 gray skills
- Unlocking 20 gray skills
- Unlocking 40 gray skills
Additionally, you'll automatically receive one after completing a significant event later in the story. Note that unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. Currently, you can only earn three through story progression unless developer 91Act introduces additional methods.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another way to acquire Prototype Analyzers is by participating in the Mind Challenge mode. Accumulate AP by completing these challenges and then exchange them with the janitor. Each Prototype Analyzer costs 5,000 AP, so plan your spending wisely as this method isn't frequent.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* boasts a roster of 12 characters, with 10 available in the base game and two additional ones as paid DLC. Here's a detailed look at each character, excluding the DLC characters:
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 feature allows him to sacrifice health for buffs, which he can then partially regain from his opponents.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee combatant, specializing in swordplay and ice-based skills. He can freeze enemies, and with well-timed combos, he boosts his strength and confuses foes with increased speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel is a ranged combat expert, capable of firing missiles in any direction. Her special ability reduces skill cooldowns, and with Over-Exhaust, she can continue casting skills even after her MP hits zero.
Taokaka
Taokaka's versatility in build options compensates for her lack of anti-armor abilities. Her Spinny Spinny attack can hit foes multiple times, enabling various status effects and making her adaptable to different playstyles.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, slow and sturdy, perfect for enduring enemy attacks. His counterattacks use less MP after successful blocks, and he can be equipped with a midair attack for versatility.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat. Her ability to damage enemies continuously, even when not actively attacking, makes her a formidable choice for any combat scenario.
Kokonoe
While considered one of the weaker characters, Kokonoe can be powerful with the right build, particularly focusing on damage-over-time effects. She requires careful management of her lasers and crowd control abilities.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki excels at evasion and crowd control, making him ideal for keeping enemies at bay. Though not the strongest, his ability to avoid damage is a significant advantage.
Es
Es is a versatile fighter, powerful even without unlocking potentials. She can counter after dodging, perform mid-air combos, and control crowds effectively, making her a well-rounded choice.
Mai Natsume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging until you master her combos. Her special Heavy Attack is key, but her true strength lies in chaining combos for high damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is exceptionally powerful, with fast movement and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her abilities cover wide areas, and she has a nearly unavoidable stunning attack, making her a top choice for many players.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic play, with his best moves needing precise inputs. Mastering his skills leads to a steep learning curve, but once achieved, he becomes one of the game's strongest characters.
