In *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*, unlocking characters is a unique challenge that requires you to collect items known as Prototype Analyzers. These essential items are key to accessing all the playable characters, with the exception of DLC characters, which are available for purchase. Our comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of obtaining Prototype Analyzers and provide an overview of every character you can unlock in the game.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey to unlock characters starts right after completing the tutorial, where you receive your first Prototype Analyzer. To use it, head out of the Acer Program room via the passage to your right, leading you to a room with a glowing platform. Interact with this platform to access the character selection menu and choose your preferred character.
For subsequent characters, you'll revisit this room and use the platform with additional Prototype Analyzers. 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
*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 story and complete training missions, you'll unlock gray skills. Reaching specific milestones in this progression rewards you with Prototype Analyzers:
- Unlocking 10 gray skills
- Unlocking 20 gray skills
- Unlocking 40 gray skills
Additionally, completing a significant event later in the story automatically grants you another Prototype Analyzer. Note that unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. As of now, without further updates from developer 91Act, you can only obtain three Prototype Analyzers through story progression.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another avenue for obtaining Prototype Analyzers is through the Mind Challenge mode. By earning Action Points (AP) and speaking to the janitor, you can trade 5,000 AP for a single Prototype Analyzer. This method, while effective, is not something you can do frequently due to the high AP cost.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 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 excels in close-range combat and gains power as his HP decreases. His special ability allows him to sacrifice health for buffs and then siphon some of it back from his opponents.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee specialist, focusing on swordplay and ice-based skills. He can freeze enemies and, with well-timed combos, boost his strength and confuse foes with enhanced speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel stands out with her ranged combat abilities. She can launch missiles in any direction and has a special ability to reduce skill cooldowns. Her Over-Exhaust feature allows her to continue casting 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 hit enemies multiple times and build up status effects, making her adaptable to various playstyles.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, with slow but powerful attacks and high durability. He can counter incoming attacks at a reduced MP cost and can be equipped with a midair attack to handle any enemy type.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat. Her skills continue to damage enemies even when she's not directly attacking, making her a versatile choice for any combat scenario.
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 quite effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki excels at evasion and crowd control, making him ideal for keeping enemies at bay. While not the most powerful, his ability to avoid damage is a significant advantage.
Es
Es is a powerhouse even without unlocking potentials. She can counter after dodging, perform mid-air combos, and has crowd-control abilities, making her a well-rounded character.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master. Her effectiveness lies in stringing together combos for maximum damage and mobility, with her Heavy Attack being a key component.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is exceptionally powerful, with fast movement and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her wide-ranging abilities and a nearly unevadable stun attack make her a top choice for players.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic play due to his complex moveset. Mastering his skills can be challenging, but once achieved, he becomes 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.
