Unlocking characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* is an intriguing journey that involves collecting items known as Prototype Analyzers. These special items are your key to unlocking every character in the game, except for the DLC characters, which you can unlock by purchasing their respective packs. Dive into our *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* character unlock guide to learn how to obtain Prototype Analyzers and discover every playable character available in the game.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: How To Unlock Characters

Your first encounter with a Prototype Analyzer comes right after you complete the tutorial, giving you a gentle nudge on how to proceed. Once you're done, 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 you can choose which character you wish to unlock first.
For subsequent unlocks, you'll revisit this room and use the platform with your additional Prototype Analyzers to unlock more characters. It's worth noting that DLC characters like Rachel and Hazama (available as of March 2025) are exceptions to this rule. These characters will automatically unlock once you purchase and install their 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 in this endeavor.
Progress the Story: As you navigate through *BlazBlue Entropy Effect*'s story and complete training missions, you'll unlock gray skills. Reaching certain milestones will reward you with Prototype Analyzers:
- Unlocking 10 gray skills
- Unlocking 20 gray skills
- Unlocking 40 gray skills
Additionally, completing a pivotal event later in the story grants you another Prototype Analyzer, no spoilers here! Keep in mind, unlocking green skills through Potential does not yield Prototype Analyzers. Unless developer 91Act introduces more skills or other methods, you're limited to acquiring three Prototype Analyzers this way.
Complete Mind Challenges and Spend AP: Another avenue to secure Prototype Analyzers involves trading Action Points (AP) earned from the Mind Challenge mode. You can exchange these points with the janitor, but it's a costly affair. Each Prototype Analyzer demands 5,000 AP, so it's not a method you can rely on frequently.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect: All Characters
As of March 2025, *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* boasts 12 characters, with 10 available in the base game and 2 additional characters through paid DLC. Here's how you can unlock these characters using Prototype Analyzers, except for the DLC characters, Rachel and Hazama.
Ragna the Bloodedge

Ragna is your quintessential melee fighter with a unique twist. As a close-range attacker, he gains power as his HP decreases. His signature move involves sacrificing health for a self-buff, then siphoning some of it back from his adversaries.
Jin Kisaragi

Jin is another melee combatant, specializing in sophisticated swordplay and ice-based abilities. He can freeze opponents, and with perfectly timed combos, he can boost his strength significantly while disorienting foes with bursts of speed.
Noel Vermillion

Noel stands out with her ranged combat prowess. She can unleash a barrage of missiles in any direction and has a unique ability to reduce her skill cooldown timers. Even more impressively, Noel can continue casting skills after her MP hits zero with Over-Exhaust.
Taokaka

Although Taokaka may struggle against heavily armored foes due to her lack of anti-armor abilities, her versatility in build options is a significant advantage. With her Spinny Spinny attack, she can hit enemies multiple times, accumulating status effects that make any build viable.
Hakumen

Hakumen embodies the tank archetype, boasting a slow yet powerful presence on the battlefield. He excels at withstanding enemy attacks, and his counterattacks, when successfully blocking, cost less MP. You can also equip him with a midair attack to tackle any opponent.
Lambda-11

Lambda-11 is versatile, excelling in both close and long-range combat. Her skills continue to damage enemies even when she's not directly attacking, making her a formidable choice for any combat scenario.
Kokonoe

While Kokonoe is often considered one of the weaker characters in *Entropy Effect*, requiring meticulous management of lasers and crowd control effects, she can still be effective with the right build, particularly damage-over-time strategies.
Hibiki Kohaku

Hibiki is a master of evasion and crowd control, keeping enemies at bay with ease. Although not the most powerful Prototype, his ability to avoid enemy attacks makes him an invaluable asset.
Es

Es is remarkably powerful right out of the gate. She can counter after dodging, excels at evasion, performs mid-air combos as part of her standard kit, and has access to crowd control abilities, making her a well-rounded fighter.
Mai Nastume

Mai has a high skill ceiling and can be challenging to master until you grasp her combo mechanics. Though it may seem her Heavy Attack is her only draw, she's designed for high mobility and chaining combos for maximum damage.
Rachel Alucard

Rachel is exceptionally overpowered, offering unparalleled speed and the ability to reset her dodge moves, making it nearly impossible for enemies to land hits. Her abilities cover a wide area, including one that's almost unevadable and stuns opponents, making her a top choice if you have access to her.
Hazama

Hazama requires strategic gameplay due to his input-heavy moves. Simple button mashing won't suffice; mastering his skills takes time, but once achieved, he ranks among the game's most potent characters.
This covers all the characters in *BlazBlue Entropy Effect* and how you can unlock them. Dive into the game and explore the diverse roster of fighters at your disposal.
