In *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*, unlocking characters is a unique process that involves collecting items called Prototype Analyzers. Our comprehensive guide will walk you through how to obtain these crucial items and introduce you to each playable character in the game.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
Your journey into unlocking characters begins right after the tutorial, where you'll receive your first Prototype Analyzer. Follow the prompts to exit 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.
For subsequent characters, return to this room and use additional Prototype Analyzers in the same manner. Note that DLC characters like Rachel and Hazama (available as of March 2025) are exceptions and unlock automatically upon purchasing and installing their respective character packs.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Get More Prototype Analyzers
*Entropy Effect* offers multiple ways to acquire 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 a Prototype Analyzer. Additionally, completing a pivotal event later in the story also grants you one. However, unlocking green skills through Potential won't help you here. Currently, you can only earn three Prototype Analyzers through story progression unless developer 91Act introduces more methods.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP: Another avenue is the Mind Challenge mode, where you earn Action Points (AP). Visit the janitor to exchange 5,000 AP for a Prototype Analyzer. Keep in mind that this option isn't available often, so use it wisely.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 12 characters: 10 in the base game and 2 as paid DLC. Here's a rundown of each character and their unique abilities:
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is a melee fighter with a twist. As a close-range attacker, he gains power as his HP decreases. His special feature allows him to sacrifice health for buffs and siphon some of it back from his enemies.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin, another melee fighter, specializes in swordplay and ice abilities. He can freeze enemies, boost his strength with well-timed combos, and confuse foes with his speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel excels in ranged combat, firing missiles in any direction. Her special ability shortens skill cooldowns, and with Over-Exhaust, she can continue casting skills even after her MP hits zero.
Taokaka
Taokaka may struggle against armored foes, but her versatility in builds compensates. Her Spinny Spinny attack applies multiple hits and status effects, making any build viable.
Hakumen
Hakumen is the quintessential tank, slow and sturdy. His powerful attacks and ability to counter at a reduced MP cost after blocking make him a formidable opponent. He can also be equipped with a midair attack for versatility.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat. Her skills continue to damage enemies even when not directly attacking, making her a versatile fighter.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe is often considered one of the weaker characters due to her reliance on managing lasers and crowd control. However, with the right damage-over-time build, she can be quite effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki is adept at evasion and crowd control, making him excellent at keeping enemies at bay. While not the most powerful, his ability to avoid damage is a significant advantage.
Es
Es is incredibly powerful even without unlocking potentials. She can counter after dodging, perform mid-air combos, and control crowds effectively, making her a well-rounded character.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master. Her combos are key to maximizing damage and mobility, with her Heavy Attack being a standout feature.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is exceptionally powerful, with fast movement and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her wide-ranging abilities, including a nearly unevadable stun attack, make her a top choice.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic play due to his complex moves. Mastering his skills comes with a steep learning curve, but once achieved, he's one of the game's strongest characters.
