Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* involves using items called Prototype Analyzers, which are essential for accessing new characters, except for DLC characters that are unlocked through purchase. Our detailed *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide will walk you through how to obtain Prototype Analyzers and provide a comprehensive list of all the playable characters.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters
You'll receive your first Prototype Analyzer upon completing the tutorial, which also guides you on how to use it. 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 the platform to access the character selection menu and choose your preferred character.
Subsequent Prototype Analyzers allow you to revisit this room and use the platform to unlock additional characters. Note that DLC characters, such as Rachel and Hazama (available as of March 2025), are exceptions. These characters are automatically unlocked 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, although each method requires time and effort.
Progress the story: As you advance through *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*'s narrative and complete training missions, you'll unlock gray skills. You'll earn a Prototype Analyzer upon reaching specific milestones, such as unlocking 10, 20, and 40 gray skills. Additionally, completing a key event later in the story also grants you one. Unlocking green skills via Potential does not provide Prototype Analyzers. Unless developer 91Act introduces new skills or additional ways to earn these items through story quests, you're limited to obtaining three Prototype Analyzers via this method.
Complete Mind Challenges and spend AP: Another way to obtain Prototype Analyzers is by participating in the Mind Challenge mode. After accumulating Action Points (AP), you can trade them with the janitor for a Prototype Analyzer. However, this isn't a frequent occurrence, as each Prototype Analyzer costs 5,000 AP.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 12 characters, with 10 available in the base game and two additional characters as paid DLC. Here's a detailed look at each character, excluding the DLC characters, which are unlocked using Prototype Analyzers.
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna is your typical melee fighter with a unique twist. He thrives in close-range combat and gains power as his HP decreases. Ragna's standout feature is his ability to sacrifice health for buffs and then regain some of it by siphoning from his opponents.
Jin Kisaragi
Jin is another melee specialist who excels in swordplay and ice-based attacks. He can freeze enemies, and with well-timed combos, he can boost his strength significantly and confuse enemies with his super speed.
Noel Vermillion
Noel stands out in ranged combat. She can launch missiles in any direction and has a unique ability to reduce her skill cooldown times. Additionally, Noel's Over-Exhaust ability allows her to continue casting skills even after her MP hits zero.
Taokaka
While Taokaka may struggle against heavily armored foes, her versatility in build options compensates for this. Her Spinny Spinny attack can hit enemies multiple times and stack status effects, making almost any build viable for her.
Hakumen
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, being slow and durable, perfect for withstanding enemy attacks. His attacks are potent, and successful blocks allow him to counter with reduced MP costs. He can also be equipped with a midair attack to handle various enemy types.
Lambda-11
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat. She's powerful, with skills that continue to damage enemies even when she's not directly attacking, making her versatile in any combat scenario.
Kokonoe
Kokonoe is often considered one of the weaker characters in *Entropy Effect*, requiring careful management of lasers and crowd control effects. However, with the right damage-over-time build, she can still be effective.
Hibiki Kohaku
Hibiki excels at evading enemies and controlling crowds. While not the most powerful, his ability to avoid damage makes him a valuable asset on the battlefield.
Es
Es is exceptionally powerful even without unlocking potentials. She can counter after dodging, evade effectively, perform mid-air combos, and has access to crowd-control abilities, making her a well-rounded character.
Mai Nastume
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master until you understand her combo mechanics. Her Heavy Attack is a significant draw, but her true strength lies in stringing together combos for maximum damage and mobility.
Rachel Alucard
Rachel is incredibly powerful, with fast movement and the ability to reset her dodge moves, making her hard to hit. Her abilities cover a wide area, and one of them is nearly impossible for enemies to evade, stunning them effectively.
Hazama
Hazama requires strategic play due to his complex input-heavy moves. While there's a steep learning curve, mastering his skills makes him one of the game's strongest characters.
This covers all the characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* and the methods to unlock them. *BlazBlue Entropy Effect is available now on PC.*
