In *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*, unlocking new characters involves collecting special items known as Prototype Analyzers. These are essential for unlocking all characters except the DLC ones, which are available for purchase. Our comprehensive *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide will walk you through the process of obtaining Prototype Analyzers and introduce you to every playable character in the game.
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 through the passage on your right to find a room with a glowing platform. Interact with this platform to access the character selection menu and choose your first unlockable character.
For subsequent unlocks, you'll need more Prototype Analyzers. Return to the same room and interact with the platform to unlock additional characters. 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
In *Entropy Effect*, acquiring additional Prototype Analyzers requires dedication and time. Here are the primary methods:
Progress the Story
As you advance through the game's narrative 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, a key event later in the story automatically awards you another Prototype Analyzer. However, unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield these items. Unless developer 91Act introduces new skills or alternative methods, you're limited to obtaining three Prototype Analyzers via story progression.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another way to earn Prototype Analyzers is through the Mind Challenge mode. Accumulate AP (Action Points) by completing these challenges, then visit the janitor to exchange 5,000 AP for a single Prototype Analyzer. Be aware that this method is not frequent, so plan your AP usage carefully.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* offers 12 characters, with 10 in the base game and 2 available as paid DLC. Here's a detailed look at each character and how to unlock them using Prototype Analyzers:
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is a melee fighter with a unique twist. He excels at close-range combat and gains power as his HP decreases. His special ability allows him to sacrifice health for buffs and then regain some of it by siphoning from his opponents.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee specialist, focusing on intricate swordplay and ice-based abilities. He can freeze enemies and, with well-timed combos, significantly boost his strength and agility to confuse opponents.
Noel Vermillion
Noel stands out with her ranged combat skills. She can unleash a barrage of missiles and has the ability to reduce her skill cooldowns. Her Over-Exhaust feature allows her to continue using skills even when her MP is depleted.
Taokaka
While Taokaka may struggle against heavily armored foes, her versatility in build options compensates for this. Her Spinny Spinny attack can apply multiple hits and status effects, making her adaptable to various playstyles.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype with his slow, powerful attacks and high durability. He can counter enemy attacks at a reduced MP cost and can be equipped with a midair attack to tackle any enemy type.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat. Her powerful skills continue to damage enemies even when she's not directly attacking, making her versatile in any combat scenario.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe may be 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 still be highly effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki excels at evasion and crowd control, making him ideal for avoiding enemy attacks and managing groups of foes. While not the most powerful, his ability to stay safe makes him a valuable asset.
Es
Es is a powerhouse even without unlocking her full potential. She can counter after dodging, execute mid-air combos, and control crowds effectively, making her a well-rounded character.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master. Her Heavy Attack is a standout feature, but she's designed for stringing together combos for maximum damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard (DLC)
Rachel is exceptionally powerful, with fast movement and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her wide-ranging abilities make her difficult to counter, and one of her attacks is nearly unevadable, stunning opponents effectively.
Hazama (DLC)
Hazama requires a strategic approach due to his complex move set. Mastering his skills involves a steep learning curve, but once achieved, he becomes one of the game's most formidable characters.
That covers all the characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* and the methods to unlock them. Whether through story progression or strategic use of AP, collecting Prototype Analyzers is key to expanding your roster.
*BlazBlue Entropy Effect is available now on PC.*
