Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* is a unique process that involves collecting items called Prototype Analyzers. This guide will walk you through how to obtain these crucial items and provide a comprehensive list of all the playable characters available in the game as of March 2025.
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. From there, head out of the Acer Program room through the passage on your right to find 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 need more Prototype Analyzers. Return to the same room and interact with the platform each time you acquire a new Analyzer. Note that DLC characters, such as Rachel and Hazama, are unlocked automatically upon purchasing and installing their respective character packs.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How to Get More Prototype Analyzers
In *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*, there are multiple ways to earn more Prototype Analyzers, though patience is key:
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, completing a significant event later in the story will also grant you one automatically. However, unlocking green skills through Potential does not provide Prototype Analyzers. As of now, you can only obtain up to three Analyzers through story progression, unless developer 91Act introduces more methods.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another way to get Prototype Analyzers is by participating in Mind Challenge mode. After accumulating Action Points (AP), you can trade them with the janitor. Each Prototype Analyzer costs 5,000 AP, so this method requires dedication and time.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 12 characters—10 from 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 feature allows him to sacrifice health for buffs and then siphon some of it back from his enemies.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee specialist, focusing on intricate swordplay and ice-based skills. He can freeze enemies and, with well-timed combos, significantly boost his strength and increase his speed to confuse opponents.
Noel Vermillion
Noel stands out with her ranged combat abilities. She can launch a barrage of missiles in various directions and has a special ability to reduce her skill cooldown timers. Additionally, she can use Over-Exhaust to continue casting skills even when her MP is depleted.
Taokaka
Although Taokaka might struggle against heavily armored foes, her versatility in build options is a major advantage. Her Spinny Spinny attack can hit enemies multiple times and apply various status effects, making her adaptable to numerous playstyles.
Hakumen
Hakumen is the quintessential tank, slow and sturdy, capable of withstanding enemy attacks while dealing significant damage. He can counter incoming attacks at a lower MP cost and can be equipped with a midair attack for versatility.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat. Her skills can continue to damage enemies even when she's not actively attacking, making her a formidable fighter in any situation.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe may be 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 is adept at evasion and crowd control, though not the most powerful. His ability to avoid damage makes him a valuable asset in group fights.
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 versatile and potent character.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and requires mastery of her combos. Her Heavy Attack is powerful, but her true strength lies in chaining combos for high damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is exceptionally powerful with her speed and ability to reset dodges, making her nearly untouchable. Her wide-ranging attacks and stunning abilities make her a top choice for players.
Hazama
Hazama demands strategic play due to his complex inputs. While challenging to master, his potential as one of the strongest characters is undeniable once you understand his mechanics.
