Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* is an engaging process that requires collecting items known as Prototype Analyzers. These are essential for unlocking every new character in the game, except for the DLC characters that you can purchase directly. Our comprehensive *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide will walk you through the process of obtaining Prototype Analyzers and provide a detailed list of all playable characters.
Your journey to unlock characters begins right after completing the tutorial, where you'll receive your first Prototype Analyzer. You'll be directed 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 the character you wish to unlock.
Subsequent Prototype Analyzers will bring you back to this room. Simply interact with the platform again to unlock additional characters. Keep in mind, however, 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 multiple avenues for acquiring more Prototype Analyzers, though patience is key.
Advancing through the story and completing training missions in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* will help you unlock gray skills. You'll earn a Prototype Analyzer at specific milestones: unlocking 10, 20, and 40 gray skills. Additionally, completing a significant event later in the story will automatically grant you another Analyzer. Note that unlocking green skills through Potential does not reward Prototype Analyzers. As of now, without additional methods introduced by developer 91Act, you can only obtain three Prototype Analyzers through the story.
Another method involves earning points in the Mind Challenge mode. You can then speak to the janitor to trade these points, known as AP, for a Prototype Analyzer. Be prepared, though, as each Analyzer costs a hefty 5,000 AP, making this a less frequent option.
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* features 12 characters, with 10 available in the base game and 2 as paid DLC. Here's a detailed look at each character, excluding the two DLC characters, which you unlock using Prototype Analyzers:
Ragna is a melee fighter who gains power as his HP depletes. His unique ability allows him to sacrifice health for buffs and then siphon it back from enemies.
Jin is another melee fighter, excelling in swordplay and ice-based skills. He can freeze opponents, and with well-timed combos, he can boost his strength and confuse enemies with his speed.
Noel specializes in ranged combat, capable of launching missiles in any direction. She can also shorten her skill cooldowns and continue casting even when 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 allows her to hit enemies multiple times and stack status effects.
Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, slow but formidable. He can counter incoming attacks at a reduced MP cost and can be equipped with a midair attack for versatility.
Lambda-11 excels in both close and long-range combat, capable of continuous damage and handling various combat scenarios effectively.
Kokonoe may be considered weaker due to the need for precise management of her lasers and crowd control effects. However, with the right damage-over-time build, she can still be highly effective.
Hibiki excels at evasion and crowd control, making him less about raw power and more about strategic play to avoid damage.
Es is incredibly versatile and powerful, capable of counterattacks after dodging, mid-air combos, and crowd control without needing to unlock potentials.
Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master. Her effectiveness relies on chaining combos for maximum damage and mobility.
Rachel is a powerhouse with unmatched speed and the ability to reset her dodge moves. Her area-of-effect abilities are nearly impossible for enemies to evade, making her a top choice.
Hazama requires strategic play due to his complex moveset. Mastering his skills can make him one of the game's strongest characters.
