Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* involves a unique system that uses items called Prototype Analyzers. These are essential for accessing all new characters, except for the DLC characters which you can unlock by purchasing them. Our comprehensive *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide will walk you through how to acquire Prototype Analyzers and provide a full list of all playable characters.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
After completing the tutorial, you'll receive your first Prototype Analyzer. This initial item comes with a guide on how to use it. To unlock your first character, exit the Acer Program room through the passage on your right, which leads to a room with a glowing platform. Interact with the platform to access the character selection menu and choose your preferred character.
For subsequent unlocks, return to the same room and interact with the platform using additional Prototype Analyzers. Note that DLC characters, such as Rachel and Hazama 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 several methods to obtain more Prototype Analyzers, though each requires patience and effort.
Progress the Story
Advancing through the story and completing training missions in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* rewards you with gray skills. Reaching specific milestones will earn you Prototype Analyzers:
- Unlocking 10 gray skills
- Unlocking 20 gray skills
- Unlocking 40 gray skills
Additionally, you'll receive one automatically after a significant event later in the story. Note that unlocking green skills through Potential does not grant Prototype Analyzers. Unless developer 91Act introduces new skills or other methods, you can only obtain three Prototype Analyzers this way.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP
Another method involves earning Action Points (AP) from the Mind Challenge mode. You can exchange these points with the janitor for Prototype Analyzers, though it's not a frequent occurrence. Each Prototype Analyzer costs 5,000 AP.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 12 characters—10 in the base game and 2 additional ones as paid DLC. Here's a rundown of each character and their unique abilities, excluding the two DLC characters which you unlock by purchasing their packs.
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is a melee fighter with a unique twist. As a close-range attacker, he gains power as his HP decreases. His special feature allows him to sacrifice health for buffs, then regain some health by draining his opponents.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee combatant, specializing in sophisticated swordplay and ice-based abilities. He can freeze enemies and, with well-timed combos, boost his strength and confuse foes with super speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel excels in ranged combat, capable of firing missiles in any direction and reducing skill cooldown times with her special ability. She can continue casting skills even after her MP hits zero using Over-Exhaust.
Taokaka
While Taokaka may struggle against heavily armored foes, her versatility in build options compensates. Her Spinny Spinny attack allows multiple hits and status effect accumulation, making any build choice viable.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, slow and sturdy, perfect for withstanding enemy attacks. His powerful strikes and ability to counter at a lower MP cost after blocking make him a formidable opponent. He can also be equipped with a midair attack.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 is versatile, excelling in both close and long-range combat. She learns skills that deal ongoing damage to enemies and can adapt to various combat situations.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe may be considered weaker due to her need for precise management of lasers and crowd control, but with the right damage-over-time build, she can be effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki is adept at evasion and crowd control, keeping enemies at bay without being the most powerful. His ability to avoid damage is a significant advantage.
Es
Es is exceptionally powerful, capable of countering after dodging, evading well, and executing mid-air combos. Her crowd-control abilities make her versatile and effective in various scenarios.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master due to her complex combos. Her Heavy Attack and mobility-focused playstyle can lead to high damage output once mastered.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is exceptionally powerful, with fast movements and the ability to reset dodge moves, making her hard to hit. Her wide-ranging abilities and nearly unavoidable stun attack make her a top-tier choice.
Hazama
Hazama demands strategic play due to his complex move inputs. While challenging to master, his potential as one of the game's strongest characters is immense once you overcome the learning curve.
