Tips and Details

• Strangely, canceling the transformation causes 2 hits to occur for the Demonic Energy Explosion, as opposed to 1 for activating it, unlike Altar of Evil which hits once both times.
• As you cannot use any other skills or attacks while in Madness state, it is best to use certain buff skills before activating Transcendence.
• While the combo does a lot of damage, it takes an extremely long time (10 seconds if completed) to do said damage, making it quite bad for your overall damage output.
  • can be looped quite easily as the second has short recovery frames. Due to the range and damage of the first two slashes, this is suggested over doing the complete combo.
• This skill is bugged and the Madness state will not end unless you touch the ground, allowing you to abuse platforms that launch you upwards to give you an extended transformed state until you land onto solid ground.
• Shadow Fury, Shrewd Cutter, and Silent Rage cannot activate Heroic Equipment's "Upon using Tenacity/Strength/Bravery Skill, Tenacity/Strength/Bravery Skill's Damage for 10 seconds +𝑥% (5 Stacks)" effect. However, they can still be affected by these buffs.

Trivia

The prototype skill icon

• Ciel's voice becomes noticeably more destructive and mad while in Madness state.
• Ciel's Madness state is the direct result of the contract with Lu feeding too much demonic power into him too quickly, as opposed to Dreadlord who has learned to deal with those powers over time.
• Ciel completely abandons his projectile attacks in Madness state, using his gunblades only as swords.
• Ciel's body turns completely dark while during Madness state, nothing more remaining than his eyes, now completely engulfed in an eerie blue glow, signifying his complete descent into darkness.
• The tooltip mentioned that Ciel is transformed into a Asmondian demon by the demonic energy passed over from Diabla, implying Lu to be of Asmodian origins. This could be be a reference to KOG's earlier game, Grand Chase and the demon character Dio, who himself was an Asmodian demon.
