BlazBlue Entropy Effect Guide: Tips to Progress quickly in the game

Early bosses are easy, but tougher ones like Susanoo need you to learn their moves and skill timing.
Focus on strong Tactics elements like Ice, Umbra, and Blade, and use Legacy skills like Meteor Carpet Storm to clear stages faster.

How to level up and progress quickly in BlazBlue Entropy Effect

1. Focus on Mind Training to earn Core Progress

Mind Training is where you’ll spend most of your time, as it is the main source of progression, rewards, and character development. Your main objective is to defeat enemies across four stages and conquer the final boss, Susano’o, all while upgrading your Prototype.

However, you shouldn’t rush and take your time to master the movement and understand how the game works. You can check our Beginner’s guide for this, and once you get an idea, you can grind to unlock the hard difficulty, and so on.

2. Understand and maximize Tactics early

Tactics are the core of your damage and utility, which are available in five variation types: Attack, Skill, Dash, Legacy, Summon, and seven elements like Fire, Ice, Electric, Toxin, Umbra, Light, and Blade. Do mind that you can only have one Tier 1 Tactic per activation type, so plan your build accordingly.

2. Save, repeat, and refine Builds

You should understand that progress in BlazBlue Entropy Effect is largely about experimentation. You should save your builds, rerun them with variations, and refine your Evotype pool as you progress. The stronger your starting Legacy Skills and Tactics are, the easier your next run becomes.

3. Unlock and inherit powerful Evotypes

Every character in the game has an Evotype Ability, like Oblivion Glaives, and you can carry over their Legacy skill. Choosing the right Evotype for your next run is crucial to gain an early-game advantage. I suggest you mix and match different evotypes with the Prototype you’re playing.

4. Master Dodge Timing

Here, avoiding damage is very crucial, especially when you reach higher Entropy levels. You should learn your Prototype’s Dash and active skills with the Dodge frames, and understand the difference between dodge, invulnerability, and invincible dodge. They trigger key passives or nullify attacks.

5. Build Elemental synergy from the first Stage

The element of each Tactic you choose during each stage determines the elemental pool you’ll fill from after filling Tactic slots. You should focus on elements like Umbra plus Toxin or Fire plus Electric to gain an upper hand during your runs.

I pick Summon Tentacle and Dashing Shadow under Umbra, Skill Rend, Summon Blade Ring, Attack Flying Blade, and Skill Bladestorm under Blade, Legacy Electric Pillar, Skill Lightning, and Orbiting Lightning Orb under Lightning, Mystic Ice Sword, Skill Hail, and Summon Ice Spike under Ice.

6. Plan your Legacy Skills around your core playstyle

The Legacy Skills can either help you or make it more challenging to clear the stages. They affect your damage, survivability, or mobility, and are inherited from saved Evotypes. I like The Way of Assassination, which increases your damage from behind, perfect for high mobility-focused gameplay.

7. Understand Boss patterns and break them down

As you progress, you’ll face tougher Bosses or Elite Enemies, which have unique attacks and skills. While early bosses like the Watcher are forgiving, later ones like Defiling Eye and the main boss, Susanoo, won’t go easy on you. I had a tough time, especially against Susanoo.

To beat them easily, you need to learn their attack cycle, as most of them operate in loops. In your first run, focus on understanding that instead of trying to beat them. Once you get an idea, time your skills to deal massive damage to them, and take advantage of all the Tactics you’ve collected so far.

8. Don’t neglect Utility Tactics and Summons

In this game, damage isn’t the only winning factor, so you shouldn’t just focus on damage-based Tactics. Instead, you can also go for summoning or debuff-based ones, which prove to be very valuable during the Boss stages.

You can take Ice element Tactics, as they inflict 1 stack of Cold on enemies, which slows them down, Impulse Paralysis, or Thunderbolt Paralysis, which can paralyze enemies for a few seconds. The Poison skills and attacks under the Toxin element are also great picks.

9. Make your Character stronger with Mind Upgrades

You should give priority to Mind Upgrades, as it is a key system to permanently increase your Prototypes’ initial max HP. You can level them up using Analysis Points, which you earn via progression and completing main objectives. So, you should farm AP efficiently and upgrade the Mind Upgrades.

Final Thoughts

Progressing quickly in BlazBlue Entropy Effect isn’t just about fighting well, as you’ll also need to make good decisions regarding tactics, legacy skills, and evotypes, between runs, too. Leveling up your Mind Upgrades, farming Analysis Point, experimenting with different tactics, and more is crucial.
