Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* is a unique process that involves collecting items known as Prototype Analyzers. These are essential for unlocking each new character, except for the DLC characters which can be purchased directly. Our comprehensive *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide not only details how to obtain Prototype Analyzers but also provides an overview of every playable character available as of March 2025.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey begins right after the tutorial, where you'll receive your first Prototype Analyzer. This initial boost sets you on the path to unlocking new characters. Head out of the Acer Program room through 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, you'll need more Prototype Analyzers. Return to the same room and interact with the platform to unlock additional characters. Note that 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 acquire more Prototype Analyzers, each requiring patience and dedication.
Progress the Story: As you advance through the game's narrative and complete training missions, you'll unlock gray skills. Reaching specific milestones, such as unlocking 10, 20, and 40 gray skills, rewards you with a Prototype Analyzer. Additionally, completing a pivotal event later in the story grants you another one. However, unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. Unless developer 91Act introduces new skills or alternative methods, you're limited to three Prototype Analyzers from story progression.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP: Another avenue involves the Mind Challenge mode, where you earn Action Points (AP). You can exchange these points with the janitor for a Prototype Analyzer, though it's not a frequent opportunity. Each Prototype Analyzer costs 5,000 AP, so plan your spending wisely.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* boasts 12 characters, with 10 available in the base game and 2 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 thrives in close-range combat and gains power as his HP decreases. His special ability allows him to sacrifice health for buffs, then regain some by siphoning it from his opponents.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee specialist, focusing on intricate swordplay and ice-based skills. He can freeze enemies, and with well-timed combos, he boosts his strength and confuses foes with super speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel excels in ranged combat, capable of launching missiles in any direction. Her special ability reduces skill cooldown times, and she can continue casting skills even after her MP hits zero with Over-Exhaust.
Taokaka
While Taokaka may struggle against heavily armored foes, her versatility in build options compensates for this. Her Spinny Spinny attack can hit multiple times and build status effects, making her adaptable to various playstyles.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, with slow but powerful attacks and the ability to withstand enemy onslaughts. Successfully blocking attacks allows him to counter with skills at a reduced MP cost, and he can be equipped with a midair attack for versatility.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 is adept at both close and long-range combat. Her skills continue to damage enemies even when not directly attacking, making her a formidable opponent in any situation.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe is often 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 be highly effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki excels at evasion and crowd control, keeping enemies at bay. While not the most powerful, his ability to avoid damage makes him a valuable asset.
Es
Es is exceptionally powerful even without unlocking potentials. She can counter after dodging, execute mid-air combos, and control crowds effectively, making her a versatile and strong character.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master. Her Heavy Attack is a standout feature, but her true strength lies in stringing together combos for maximum damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is incredibly powerful, with fast movement and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her abilities cover a wide area, and one of her moves is nearly impossible for enemies to evade, making her a top choice for players.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic play due to his complex moveset. While he has a steep learning curve, mastering his skills makes him one of the game's strongest characters.
That concludes our guide on unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*. With this information, you're well-equipped to expand your roster and enhance your gameplay experience.
