Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* involves collecting items known as Prototype Analyzers, which are essential for unlocking every new character, except for the DLC ones that you can purchase. This *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide will walk you through how to acquire Prototype Analyzers and provide a comprehensive list of all playable characters.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey begins with your first Prototype Analyzer, which you receive after completing the tutorial. This initial boost guides you to use it effectively. Head out of 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 additional characters, you'll revisit this room and use the platform with any new Prototype Analyzers you acquire. Note that DLC characters, such as Rachel and Hazama as of March 2025, are unlocked automatically upon purchasing and installing their respective character packs.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Get More Prototype Analyzers
In *Entropy Effect*, acquiring more Prototype Analyzers requires patience and strategic gameplay. Here are the primary methods:
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—will reward you with Prototype Analyzers. Additionally, a key event later in the story will automatically grant you one. Note that unlocking green skills via Potential does not provide Prototype Analyzers. With the current system, you can only earn three through the story unless developer 91Act introduces more methods.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP: Another way to acquire Prototype Analyzers is by earning points through the Mind Challenge mode. You can then trade these points, known as AP, with the janitor. Be prepared to save up, as each Prototype Analyzer costs a hefty 5,000 AP.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* boasts 12 characters—10 from the base game and 2 additional DLC characters. Here's a detailed look at each:
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is your go-to melee fighter with a unique twist. He thrives in close-range combat and gains power as his HP decreases. His signature move involves sacrificing health for buffs and then siphoning it back from enemies.
Jin Kisaragi
Another melee combatant, Jin specializes in elegant swordplay and ice-based skills. He can freeze opponents, and with precise timing, he can boost his strength and speed, confounding his enemies.
Noel Vermillion
Unlike Jin and Ragna, Noel excels at ranged combat. She can unleash a barrage of missiles in any direction and has an ability to reduce her skill cooldown timers. With Over-Exhaust, she can continue casting skills even after her MP depletes.
Taokaka
Though Taokaka may struggle against heavily armored foes, her versatility in build options compensates for this. Her Spinny Spinny attack can stack multiple hits and apply various status effects, making her adaptable to different playstyles.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, with slow, powerful attacks and high durability. Blocking incoming attacks allows him to counter with reduced MP costs, and he can be equipped with a midair attack to tackle any enemy.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat, making her a versatile fighter. Her skills cause continuous damage, and she can handle any combat scenario with ease.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe is often considered one of the weaker characters due to the need for precise management of lasers and crowd control. However, with the right damage-over-time build, she can be highly effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki specializes in evasion and crowd control, keeping enemies at bay. While not the most powerful, his ability to avoid damage makes him a formidable choice.
Es
Es is a powerhouse even without unlocking potentials. She can counter after dodging, execute mid-air combos, and control crowds effectively, making her a versatile and powerful character.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master due to her combo-based gameplay. Her Heavy Attack is particularly notable, but her true strength lies in chaining combos for maximum damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is exceptionally overpowered, offering speed and the ability to reset her dodge moves, making her nearly untouchable. Her wide-reaching abilities, including one that stuns enemies almost inescapably, make her a top-tier choice.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic gameplay due to his complex moveset. While challenging to master, once you understand his skills, he becomes one of the game's strongest characters.
That's the rundown on all the characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* and how you can unlock them. Remember, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* is available now on PC.
