Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* involves a unique mechanic: the use of Prototype Analyzers, which are essential for unlocking every new character except for the DLC ones. Our comprehensive *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide not only explains how to obtain these Prototype Analyzers but also provides a detailed list of all playable characters.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey to unlock new characters begins right after the tutorial, where you receive your first Prototype Analyzer. Follow the prompt to exit the Acer Program 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 to unlock.
For subsequent unlocks, return to this room and interact with the platform using additional Prototype Analyzers. Note that DLC characters like Rachel and Hazama, available as of March 2025, are exceptions. These characters are automatically unlocked upon purchasing and installing their respective character packs.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Get More Prototype Analyzers
*Entropy Effect* offers multiple methods to acquire more Prototype Analyzers, though patience is key.
Progress the Story
As you advance through the story and complete training missions, you'll unlock gray skills. Reaching specific milestones in this progression will reward you with Prototype Analyzers:
- Unlocking 10 gray skills
- Unlocking 20 gray skills
- Unlocking 40 gray skills
Additionally, a key event later in the story automatically grants you another Prototype Analyzer. Note that unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. Currently, without further updates from developer 91Act, you can obtain only three Prototype Analyzers through story progression.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another avenue is through the Mind Challenge mode. After accumulating Action Points (AP), you can trade them with the janitor for a Prototype Analyzer. Each analyzer costs 5,000 AP, so this method requires dedication and strategic gameplay.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* boasts a roster of 12 characters, with 10 included in the base game and 2 available as paid DLC. Here's a rundown of each character and how to unlock them using Prototype Analyzers (excluding the DLC characters).
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is your go-to melee fighter with a unique twist. His close-range attacks become more potent as his HP decreases, allowing him to sacrifice health for buffs and then siphon some of it back from his enemies.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin specializes in melee combat with a focus on swordplay and ice-based skills. His ability to freeze enemies and enhance his strength through timed combos makes him a formidable opponent.
Noel Vermillion
Noel excels in ranged combat, capable of launching missiles in any direction. Her unique skill allows her to reduce cooldown times, and she can continue casting skills even when her MP is depleted thanks to Over-Exhaust.
Taokaka
Although Taokaka struggles against heavily armored foes, her versatility in build options is unmatched. Her Spinny Spinny attack enables multiple hits and status effects, making her a versatile choice.
Hakumen
Hakumen is the quintessential tank, with a slow but powerful presence on the battlefield. He can counter incoming attacks at a reduced MP cost and even perform midair attacks, making him versatile against various enemy types.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 is adept at both close and long-range combat. Her ability to deal ongoing damage without direct engagement makes her a powerhouse in any combat scenario.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe is considered one of the weaker characters due to her reliance on careful management of crowd control effects. However, with the right build, particularly focusing on damage-over-time, she can be effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki excels at evading and controlling groups of enemies. While not the most powerful, his ability to avoid damage makes him a valuable asset in combat.
Es
Es is incredibly powerful even without unlocking potentials. Her ability to counter after dodging, execute mid-air combos, and manage crowd control makes her exceptionally versatile.
Mai Natsume
Mai has a high skill ceiling, requiring mastery of her combos for maximum effectiveness. Her mobility and damage potential make her a challenging but rewarding character to play.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is incredibly powerful, with the ability to reset her dodge moves and cover large areas with her attacks. Her ability to stun enemies with nearly unavoidable attacks makes her a top choice.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic play due to his complex moves. Mastering his skills leads to high rewards, making him one of the game's strongest characters once you overcome the learning curve.
That covers all the characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* and the methods to unlock them. Dive into the game and explore the unique abilities of each character to enhance your gaming experience.
