Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* involves collecting items known as Prototype Analyzers. These are essential for unlocking new characters, with the exception of DLC characters, which are available through purchase. Our comprehensive guide on character unlocking in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* details how to acquire Prototype Analyzers and provides a full rundown of all playable characters.
After completing the tutorial, you'll receive your first Prototype Analyzer, along with guidance on its use. To unlock your first character, exit the Acer Program room through the passage on your right, leading to a room with a glowing platform. Interact with this platform to access the character selection menu and choose your desired character.
For subsequent characters, return to this room and interact with the platform using additional Prototype Analyzers. Note that DLC characters like Rachel and Hazama, available as of March 2025, are unlocked automatically upon purchasing and installing their respective character packs.
*Entropy Effect* offers several ways to obtain more Prototype Analyzers, each requiring patience and effort.
Progress the Story: As you advance through the story 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 key event later in the story grants you one automatically. Unlocking green skills via Potential does not provide Prototype Analyzers. As of now, without additional skills or methods added by developer 91Act, you can acquire only three Prototype Analyzers through the story.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP: Another way to earn Prototype Analyzers is through Mind Challenge mode. After accumulating Action Points (AP), you can trade them with the janitor. However, this method is costly, with each Prototype Analyzer priced at 5,000 AP, so it's not something you can do frequently.
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 12 characters, with 10 available in the base game and 2 as paid DLC. The base game characters are unlocked using Prototype Analyzers.
Ragna is a melee fighter who gains power as his HP decreases. His unique ability allows him to sacrifice health for buffs and then regain some of it by attacking enemies.
Jin is a melee specialist with a focus on swordplay and ice abilities. He can freeze enemies and, with well-timed combos, boost his strength and speed, confusing his opponents.
Noel excels in ranged combat, capable of launching missiles in any direction. Her special ability reduces skill cooldowns, and she can continue casting skills even after her MP is depleted using Over-Exhaust.
While Taokaka may struggle against heavily armored foes, her versatility in build options compensates for this. Her Spinny Spinny attack can apply multiple status effects, making her adaptable to various playstyles.
Hakumen is a tank character, slow but powerful, ideal for withstanding enemy attacks. He can counter at a reduced MP cost after blocking and can be equipped with a midair attack for versatility.
Lambda-11 is versatile, capable of both close and long-range combat. She can inflict continuous damage on enemies even when not directly attacking and is adept in various combat scenarios.
Kokonoe is considered one of the weaker characters, requiring precise management of lasers and crowd control effects. However, with the right damage-over-time build, she can be effective.
Hibiki excels at evasion and crowd control, making him less powerful but highly effective at keeping enemies at bay.
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 has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master. Her effectiveness lies in stringing together combos for maximum damage and mobility.
Rachel is exceptionally powerful, with fast movement and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her wide-ranging abilities can stun enemies, making her a top choice for players.
Hazama requires strategic play due to his complex moves. Mastering his skills can be challenging, but once achieved, he becomes one of the game's strongest characters.
