*Ciel's recovery from knocked-down status is faster compared to the other characters.
*Due to how character hitboxes move according to their animations in this game, when using a skill where both characters appear (such as a Combination Skill or Hyper Active), the character that was in play at the time determines where your own hitbox currently is. Therefore, in skills where '''Lu''' moves off the ground such as in [[Twilight Judgment]] when using the additional bullets, she is entirely safe from ground-based attacks, whereas '''Ciel''' is not.
**This is especially relevant for attacks that ignore i-frames like many attacks in [[Master Road]], as '''Lu''' is predominantly in midair during most skills with both characters, where '''Ciel''' usually remains on the ground.
**This also affects the actual area of effect of those skills as either '''Lu''' or '''Ciel''' can be shifted to one side to make room for the other character appearing, moving the skill along with them accordingly.

Special Ability

Main Article: Combination

Being a duo character with a tag-team playstyle, Lu and Ciel do not share mana and also have a special system known as Combination. When either Lu or Ciel is tagged out, the inactive character will rapidly recover 6 MP per second (1 MP in PvP). Lu and Ciel have a fourth resource known as the Combination Gauge, which is used exclusively for Combination Skills and can only be filled when the player switches through a normal combo or a skill. Having a duo character play-style, players have access to a special mechanic only available known as Switching. Players can play as either Lu or Ciel in both towns and dungeons, and change between them via pressing V (default key and only available where combat is possible), combos, or skills. When switching via the V key, the character switching out cannot be hit, but the character switching in can be hit and the combination gauge will not be filled. Cooldown time for V key is 1 second.

Background

Main Article: Backalley of Lanox

The demon monarch Lu emerges in Elrios as a small child after using up all her mana to escape the realm of demons. Due to her servant's betrayal, she has lost all her power and possessions. A hitman named Ciel finds Lu in her weak state and takes her in. Her name is all she remembers. Before long, assassins from the demon world come for Lu, and Ciel gives his life to protect her.

Just then, Lu remembers everything. A mystical contract allows her to revive Ciel as a half-demon, and he is bound to serve her in return. Now, with Ciel's help, Lu sets out to take everything back. Together, they are Luciel, a dangerous duo in pursuit of demons that plague the land.

Tips and Details

  • You will always start out as Lu when entering PvP or dungeons.
  • Lu and Ciel's stats can be toggled to be either separate or unified. Their stats can both be completely independent of each other, have only Lu's stats apply to both characters, or have only Ciel's stats apply to both characters. By default, it is set to Lu only.
  • Lu and Ciel share equipment but do not share costumes or accessories. However, you are able to share common accessories appearance with the Magic Wardrobe.
    • Any attack or defense increases, with the exception of accessory/costume set effects, are still shared, even though the status window does not display this.
    • Likewise, HP sockets and non-set bonuses are also shared, though these do show in the status window properly.
      • Unlike attack or defense, HP also still shares through set effects. Unlike the HP increases from other sources, this is again not displayed in the status window.
  • When using Skill Rings, if their stats are set to separate, Switching Skills will always apply the ring of the character being switched to. For example, wearing a Ring of Tenacity on Lu will always increase the damage of Stomp, even if you start the skill while on Ciel.
    • For Combination Skills and certain Actives, the skill ring of the character that casts the skill is taken into account. Switching while the skill is still on-going (such as while Eschaton is traveling or Shadow is installed) will not affect the skill's damage.
    • Other sources of skill damage increase, such as through set effects, will apply to a skill for as long as that character is in play. Switching during the skill will change the damage to fit the current character.
  • When opening the First, Second, or Third Job Change Promotion Cube, Lu and Ciel will both receive a set of promo avatars.
  • Just like Deadly Chaser's Silver Shooters, Ciel's gunblades will do physical damage at close range.
  • Ciel's magic bullets consume 4 MP per shot.
  • Ciel's recovery from knocked-down status is faster compared to the other characters.
  • Due to how character hitboxes move according to their animations in this game, when using a skill where both characters appear (such as a Combination Skill or Hyper Active), the character that was in play at the time determines where your own hitbox currently is. Therefore, in skills where Lu moves off the ground such as in Twilight Judgment when using the additional bullets, she is entirely safe from ground-based attacks, whereas Ciel is not.
    • This is especially relevant for attacks that ignore i-frames like many attacks in Master Road, as Lu is predominantly in midair during most skills with both characters, where Ciel usually remains on the ground.
    • This also affects the actual area of effect of those skills as either Lu or Ciel can be shifted to one side to make room for the other character appearing, moving the skill along with them accordingly.


Trivia

  • Lu/Ciel's job path in Lore/Story would be the Innocent path.
  • Lu and Ciel officially join the main cast after the Burnt Forest story quest Break Through the Burnt Forest!!.
  • An interview releasing information about the duo had implied that Lu and Ciel are comparatively weak when played individually and stated that it is optimal to utilize them both in gameplay to cover for each other's weaknesses.
  • In her artwork, Lu is much smaller than Ciel, while her in-game model size is only a bit shorter than Ciel.
  • The symbol of a four-pointed star is a recurring motif in Lu and Ciel's design.
  • Prior to joining the El Search Party, Lu and Ciel apparently encountered Raven several times during their journey.
    • They are also the first to encounter Karis before meeting the El Search Party, being the one who killed Ciel before his contract with Lu.
  • Lu and Ciel wrote the skill note Lu Crater.
  • Unlike other characters, Lu and Ciel are the only characters to receive a unique skill cut-in for their 1st Job Class. This can only be obtained by advancing to their 2nd Job.
  • Before the 02/12/2015 KR patch, Lu/Ciel's skills had much higher MP costs to compensate for the fact they have 2 separate MP bars, as well as Call to Arms increasing potion efficiency. Tenacity skills used to cost 150 MP, while Strength skills used to cost 300 MP.
  • While other characters all gain at least 2 combo extensions upon advancing to their 3rd Job Class, Lu/Ciel only receive one that simply varies slightly between Lu and Ciel, and they are not considered separate commands in the Command UI.
  • Lu and Ciel are able to cross into each other's dreams.
  • During the Master Class update, Lu and Ciel's advancement is aligned with the Master of Fire, Rosso.
    • Some connections can be drawn due to them first encountering the master within the Demon Realm as well as the revelations of Rosso's Half-Demon nature.
