Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* is a unique experience, requiring you to collect items known as Prototype Analyzers. These are essential for unlocking all new characters, with the exception of DLC characters, which are available through purchase. This *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide will walk you through how to obtain Prototype Analyzers and introduce you to every playable character in the game.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey to unlock characters begins right after completing the tutorial, where you'll receive your first Prototype Analyzer. From there, you're nudged in the right direction: exit the Acer Program room to the 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 which character you want to unlock.
For subsequent unlocks, revisit this room and use additional Prototype Analyzers on the platform to select and unlock new characters. 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
In *Entropy Effect*, there are a few ways to acquire more Prototype Analyzers, but they all require patience and dedication:
Progress the Story
As you delve deeper into *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*'s narrative and complete training missions, you'll unlock gray skills. Reaching specific milestones rewards you with Prototype Analyzers:
- Unlocking 10 gray skills
- Unlocking 20 gray skills
- Unlocking 40 gray skills
Additionally, a key event later in the story will automatically grant you another Prototype Analyzer. Note that unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. As of now, without additional skills or story quests added by developer 91Act, you can earn a total of three Prototype Analyzers this way.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another route to obtaining Prototype Analyzers involves the Mind Challenge mode. You can exchange Action Points (AP) with the janitor for these items. However, this method isn't frequent; each Prototype Analyzer costs 5,000 AP, making it a valuable and strategic decision.
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 2 as paid DLC. Below is a detailed look at each character and how to unlock them using Prototype Analyzers, except for the DLC characters:
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is a melee fighter with a unique twist. As a close-range attacker, he gains power as his HP decreases, using his health to buff himself and then siphoning some of it back from opponents.
Jin Kisaragi
Another melee combatant, Jin specializes in swordplay and ice-based abilities. He can freeze enemies, and with well-timed combos, he boosts his strength and can confuse enemies with bursts of speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel excels in ranged combat, capable of launching missiles in any direction and reducing her skill cooldowns. Her Over-Exhaust ability allows her to keep casting skills even after her MP hits zero.
Taokaka
Though Taokaka may struggle against armored foes, her versatility in builds compensates for this. Her Spinny Spinny attack can hit enemies multiple times and apply status effects, making her adaptable to various playstyles.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, slow and sturdy, perfect for withstanding enemy attacks. His counters are efficient, reducing MP costs for skills, and he can be equipped with a midair attack to tackle any enemy type.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 is versatile, adept in both close and long-range combat. Her abilities continue to damage enemies even when she's not actively attacking, making her a formidable force on the battlefield.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe is often seen as one of the weaker characters, requiring precise management of lasers and crowd control to shine. With the right build, focusing on damage-over-time effects, she can be highly effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki excels at evasion and controlling enemy groups. While not the most powerful, his ability to avoid damage makes him a valuable asset in any team.
Es
Es is incredibly versatile and powerful, even without unlocking her full potential. She can counter after dodging, perform mid-air combos, and utilize crowd control, making her a well-rounded character.
Mai Natsume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and requires mastering her combos to be effective. Her Heavy Attack is key, but her real strength lies in stringing together combos for high damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is exceptionally overpowered, with unmatched speed and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her area-of-effect abilities are nearly impossible for foes to avoid, making her a top choice for many players.
Hazama
Hazama demands a strategic approach, with his effectiveness tied to complex input combinations. Once mastered, he becomes one of the game's most potent characters.
That concludes our guide on how to unlock all characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*. Whether you're grinding through the story or tackling Mind Challenges, remember to collect those Prototype Analyzers to expand your roster.
*BlazBlue Entropy Effect is available now on PC.*
