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 [[File:Switching.png]] '''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|combination gauge]] will not be filled. Cooldown time for '''V''' key is 1 second.

When switching via the '''V''' key, the character switching out will be invincible, while the character switching in will be in Super Armor. Cooldown time for '''V''' key is 1 second.
In addition, Lu and Ciel have a fourth resource known as the '''Combination Gauge''', which is used for certain skills and can typically only be filled when the player lands a successful hit by switching through a normal combo or a skill.

:''Main Article: [[Lanox Alleyway]]''<br>
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.
{{Background
|NA=
The dethroned queen of the demon realm and a hitman.
 
Chased by demon assassins, they come close to death, but was able to form a spiritual contract that allows them to narrowly escape the assassins.


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.
To regain Lu's lost power and authority, they set out on a journey following demon tracks...

웃음이 많고 감정표현에 솔직한 편. 권력자로서의 자존심이 높다.
 
“짐의 왕좌를 되찾을 것이다.
마계를 지탱하던 여러 군주 중의 한 명이었으나, 측근에게 배신당해 모든 힘을 잃고 오랜 시간 동안 봉인 당했다.
마지막 마력을 소모해 봉인을 뚫고 도망쳤으나 엘리오스로 넘어오며 과도한 마력의 소모로 인해 어린아이의 모습으로 변해버렸다.
시엘과 계약을 맺고 난 후로 자신의 힘과 권력을 되찾기 위해 엘리오스를 침공한 마족들의 흔적을 추격하며 험난한 여정을 시작한다.

== Tips and Details ==
== Tips and Details ==
*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' share their armor and weapon, but costumes and accessories are separate between the two.
*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''''s stats can be toggled to be either separate, or based on a "representing" character. You are able to choose which to apply through the Representing Stats button in the character UI, and can change this at any time outside of dungeons. By default, the Representing Stats is set to Lu.
**When the Representing Stats is set to separate, their stats will be completely independent of each other. When it is set to Lu or Ciel, only that character's stats will be applied to both characters simultaneously, leaving the other character's costumes and accessories to be merely for aesthetics. There is one exception to this, however:
***The HP stat is always shared across both. This includes sockets, non-set bonuses (which are reflected in the status window) and set bonuses (which are not).
*You will always start out as '''Lu''' when entering PvP or dungeons.
*You will always start out as '''Lu''' when entering PvP or dungeons.
**If Representing Stats is set to '''Lu/Ciel''', [[Ring of Fury]] will only recover Awakening Beads if '''Lu''' is wearing it.  Otherwise, it must be worn by the representing character.
**If Representing Stats is set to '''Lu/Ciel''', [[Ring of Fury]] will only recover Awakening Beads if '''Lu''' is wearing it.  Otherwise, it must be worn by the representing character.
*'''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.
*When using Skill Rings, if the Representing Stats is 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'''.
*'''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.
**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.

*Prior to joining the El Search Party, '''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' apparently encountered [[Raven]] several times during their journey.
**It appears on both their foreheads, as well as takes the place of their pupils in their eyes, with the coloration changing depending on the path, ranging from a shining bright white to pitch black.
**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'''.
**The contract sigil further embellishes the star with a ring and a set of diamonds passing through it. Its design is also adjusted depending on the path.
***This sigil is engraved on Lu's back and Ciel's chest, as shown in their prologue scenes, with the ring split in half, with Lu having the top half and Ciel the bottom half. It is rarely ever visible however, and many costume sets that expose this part of their body even exclude it entirely.

*Each of their 4 job advancements has the two take a different role within their duo dynamic, as well as the soul contract that sustains them.
**As [[Catastrophe]], they fight as equals, and the contract is dismissed entirely.
**As [[Innocent]], they fight as one and the same, fusing their souls to allow both of them to use the full strength of the other.
**As [[Diangelion]], they fight not as partners, but as a deranged queen and her tool as Ciel is overcome by excess power flowing through the contract.
**As [[Demersio]], they do not truly fight as partners, as only Ciel still fights willingly, while Lu, lacking most of a soul due to making a second contract, follows him, unfeeling and empty.
*Interestingly, the class icons of the two paths that fight together ([[Catastrophe]]/[[Innocent]]) and the two paths that have one take full control ([[Diangelion]]/[[Demersio]]) have both characters of one of said paths face the other way as both characters of the other of said paths, creating a sort of symmetry in their designs.

*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.
