Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* involves collecting items called Prototype Analyzers, which are essential for accessing new characters, with the exception of DLC characters that require payment. Our comprehensive guide details the process of obtaining Prototype Analyzers and provides an overview of all playable characters.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey to unlocking new characters begins right after the tutorial, where you receive your first Prototype Analyzer. Follow the passage to the right of the Acer Program room, and you'll find yourself in a room with a glowing platform. Interact with this platform to access the character selection menu and choose the character you wish to unlock.
For subsequent unlocks, you'll revisit this room and use additional Prototype Analyzers in the same manner. However, keep in mind that DLC characters like Rachel and Hazama (available as of March 2025) are unlocked automatically 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, though they require patience and effort.
Progress the Story
Advancing through the story and completing training missions allows you to unlock gray skills, and reaching certain milestones will reward you with Prototype Analyzers:
- Unlocking 10 gray skills
- Unlocking 20 gray skills
- Unlocking 40 gray skills
Additionally, you'll receive one automatically after completing a significant event later in the story. Note that unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. Unless developer 91Act introduces more ways to earn these items through story progression, you're limited to acquiring three via this method.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another avenue to secure Prototype Analyzers is by participating in the Mind Challenge mode and accumulating Action Points (AP). You can exchange these points with the janitor, though at a steep cost of 5,000 AP per Prototype Analyzer. This method is not frequent, so plan your spending wisely.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 12 characters, including 10 from the base game and 2 additional DLC characters. Here's a breakdown of each character and how to unlock them using Prototype Analyzers (excluding the DLC characters).
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is a melee fighter with a unique twist. He thrives in close-range combat and gains power as his HP decreases. His special ability allows him to sacrifice health for buffs and regain some of it by siphoning from his opponents.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee specialist, focusing on elegant swordplay and ice-based skills. He can freeze enemies and, with precise timing, enhance his strength and speed, making him a formidable opponent.
Noel Vermillion
Noel excels in ranged combat, capable of launching missiles in any direction. Her unique ability reduces skill cooldowns, and with Over-Exhaust, she can continue casting even when her MP is depleted.
Taokaka
Despite her challenges with anti-armor capabilities, Taokaka's versatility in build options compensates for this. Her Spinny Spinny attack allows for multiple hits and status effect accumulation, making her a flexible choice.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype with his slow yet powerful nature. He can counter incoming attacks at a reduced MP cost and is equipped for midair combat, making him a versatile defender.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 is adept in both close and long-range combat. Her skills continue to damage enemies even when not directly attacking, making her suitable for various combat scenarios.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe may be considered weaker due to her reliance on managing lasers and crowd control, but 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 avoiding enemy attacks and managing groups of foes effectively.
Es
Es is a powerhouse even without unlocking potentials. She can counter after dodging, execute mid-air combos, and utilize crowd control, making her a versatile and potent character.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and requires mastering her combos. While her Heavy Attack seems the highlight, her true strength lies in chaining combos for high damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is exceptionally powerful, with fast movements and the ability to reset her dodge, making her nearly untouchable. Her wide-reaching abilities and stunning attacks make her a top-tier choice.
Hazama
Hazama demands strategic play due to his input-heavy moves. While challenging to master, his potential as one of the game's strongest characters is undeniable once you overcome the learning curve.
That concludes our guide on all the characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* and how to unlock them. Remember, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* is available now on PC.
