Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* involves collecting items known as Prototype Analyzers, which are essential for accessing new characters—except for DLC characters that require payment. Our comprehensive *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide will walk you through obtaining Prototype Analyzers and provide a detailed list of all playable characters.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Upon completing the tutorial, you'll receive your first Prototype Analyzer, setting you on the path to expanding your roster. To unlock your first character, exit the Acer Program room through 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, return to this room and interact with the platform once you've acquired additional Prototype Analyzers. Note that DLC characters, such as 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 multiple avenues for earning additional Prototype Analyzers, though they require time and effort.
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 one as well. However, unlocking green skills via Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. Unless developer 91Act introduces more skills or alternative methods through story quests, you're limited to acquiring three Prototype Analyzers this way.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP: Another method involves accumulating points from the Mind Challenge mode. You can trade these points, known as AP, with the janitor to obtain a Prototype Analyzer. Be prepared, though; each Prototype Analyzer costs a hefty 5,000 AP, so this isn't a frequent option.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 12 characters—10 in the base game and two additional as paid DLC. Here's how to unlock them using Prototype Analyzers, excluding the two DLC characters.
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. Ragna can sacrifice his health to boost his abilities and then siphon some of it back 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, Jin can significantly enhance his strength and confuse foes with bursts of speed.
Noel Vermillion
Unlike Jin and Ragna, Noel thrives in ranged combat. She can launch missiles in any direction and has an ability to reduce her skill cooldowns. Moreover, Noel can continue casting skills even after her MP hits zero using Over-Exhaust.
Taokaka
While Taokaka struggles against heavily armored foes due to her lack of anti-armor abilities, her versatility in build options compensates for this. Her Spinny Spinny attack can hit enemies multiple times and stack status effects, making any build choice viable.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, being slow and sturdy, ideal for enduring enemy attacks. His counterattacks, triggered by successful blocks, consume less MP, and he can be equipped with a midair attack to handle various enemy types.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat. She's powerful, can inflict ongoing damage to enemies even when not actively attacking, and is versatile enough to tackle any combat scenario.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe is often considered one of the weaker characters in *Entropy Effect*, requiring careful management of lasers and crowd control effects. However, with the right damage-over-time build, she can be quite effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki excels at evading and controlling groups of enemies. Although 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 has crowd-control abilities, making her versatile and effective in various situations.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master due to her complex combos. Her special Heavy Attack is notable, but her true strength lies in her ability to chain combos for maximum damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is exceptionally powerful, with high speed and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her attacks cover a wide area, and one of her abilities is nearly impossible for enemies to dodge, making her a top choice for players who have her.
Hazama
Hazama requires a strategic approach, as his best moves are input-intensive. While there's a steep learning curve, mastering him makes Hazama one of the game's strongest characters.
That's the complete guide to unlocking all characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* and the strategies to obtain Prototype Analyzers.
