Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* involves using items known as Prototype Analyzers, which are essential for accessing the game's roster, excluding the paid DLC characters. This *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide will walk you through the process of obtaining Prototype Analyzers and introduce you to all the playable characters available as of March 2025.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey to unlock characters begins right after completing the tutorial, where you receive your first Prototype Analyzer. To use it, head out of the Acer Program room to the 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, return to this room with additional Prototype Analyzers and interact with the platform again. 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
In *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*, obtaining more Prototype Analyzers is a process that requires patience and engagement with the game's mechanics. Here are the primary methods:
Progress the Story
As you advance through *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*'s narrative and complete training missions, you'll unlock gray skills. Reaching specific milestones in unlocking these skills rewards 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. However, unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield these items. As of now, you can only obtain three Prototype Analyzers through story progression unless developer 91Act introduces more opportunities in future updates.
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 Prototype Analyzers, though at a steep price of 5,000 AP per analyzer. This method isn't frequent, so plan your AP expenditure wisely.
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 detailed look at each character you can unlock using Prototype Analyzers:
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is a melee fighter with a unique twist. As a close-range attacker, he gains power as his HP depletes. His special feature allows him to sacrifice health for buffs, then siphon some of it back from his foes.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee specialist, focusing on elegant swordplay and ice-based abilities. He can freeze opponents, and with well-timed combos, he gains significant strength boosts and can disorient enemies with super speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel excels in ranged combat, capable of launching volleys of missiles in any direction. Her special ability reduces skill cooldown times, and she can continue casting skills even when her MP hits zero, thanks to Over-Exhaust.
Taokaka
While Taokaka may struggle against heavily armored foes due to her lack of anti-armor abilities, her versatility in build options is a significant advantage. Her Spinny Spinny attack can apply multiple hits and stack status effects, making her adaptable to various playstyles.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, with his slow but powerful attacks and high durability. Successfully blocking enemy attacks allows him to counter at a reduced MP cost, and he can be equipped with midair attacks to handle different enemy types effectively.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat, making her a versatile fighter. She learns skills that deal continuous damage even without direct engagement and is well-suited to handle any combat scenario.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe is often seen as one of the weaker characters due to the need for careful management of her lasers and crowd control effects. However, with the right damage-over-time build, she can be quite effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki is adept at evading and controlling groups of enemies. While not the most powerful, his ability to avoid damage makes him a valuable asset in battle.
Es
Es is a powerhouse even without unlocking her full potential. She can counter after dodging, perform mid-air combos, and has crowd control abilities, making her a well-rounded fighter.
Mai Natsume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master due to her complex combo system. Her Heavy Attack is a standout feature, but her real strength lies in chaining combos for maximum damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is incredibly overpowered, with speed and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her abilities cover a wide area, including one that's nearly impossible for enemies to evade, making her a top-tier choice.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic play due to his complex, input-heavy moves. While there's a steep learning curve, mastering him makes him one of the game's most formidable characters.
That concludes our guide on unlocking and understanding all the characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*. Whether you're progressing through the story or tackling Mind Challenges, you now know how to expand your roster and dominate the battlefield.
