Main Article: [[Lu/Ciel's Features|Combination]]<br>
:''Main Article: [[Combination]]''<br>
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 15 MP per second (6 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.
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).  
Players will have access to a special mechanic known as '''Switching''' to allow them to play as either Lu or Ciel in both towns and dungeons, and you can change between them via pressing [[File:Switching.png]] '''V''' (default key and only available where combat is possible), combos or skills in dungeons, or the character window in towns. 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.

=== Background ===
'''Lu'''<br>
:''Main Article: [[Lanox Alleyway]]''<br>
Luciela R. Sourcream was one of the high ranking demon lords that supported the Demon Realm. Being involved in the political struggle to take the vacant position of Overlord, Lu became careless and was betrayed by her most trusted vassal. Her power was sealed and she was bound in chains, and could do nothing but watch as her authority, territory, and possessions were stripped away from her.<br>
{{Background
Time passed to the point where she hardly remembered her own name. In a last ditch effort, she used all of her remaining power to undo the seal and escaped to Elrios. However, due to the immense consumption of mana required for jumping to Elrios, her appearance turned into that of a child. After her contract with Ciel, she starts to track down demons invading Elrios in order to regain her power and status.
|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.


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

'''Ciel'''<br>
“짐의 왕좌를 되찾을 것이다.
Lu's bodyguard and butler.<br>
마계를 지탱하던 여러 군주 중의 한 명이었으나, 측근에게 배신당해 모든 힘을 잃고 오랜 시간 동안 봉인 당했다.
As a child, Ciel's parents had been killed by bandits, leaving him to live in the streets. With the will to do anything to survive, this determination allowed Ciel to eventually earn his place as a famous assassin in the criminal underworld. After Lu had escaped from the Demon world by using the rest of her power, Ciel finds an injured girl lying unconscious on the ground. She had lost all of her memories except for her name, Lu. Ciel nurses her back to health and takes care of her, as she reminded him of his past. One night, demon assassins that were looking for Lu attacked. Being no match against the high ranking demons, Ciel is killed protecting Lu. Regaining her memories and noticing his desire to live in his dying breaths, Lu forges a contract with Ciel where he must become her servant. Out of gratitude for saving his life and wanting Lu to be happy, Ciel gladly accepts and revives as a half-demon. He aligns his cause with Lu's and travels with her until her goals are completed.

Users can play as either Lu or Ciel in both towns and dungeons, and change between them only via combos or skills. Depending on the user's preference, it is even possible to play only as Lu or Ciel all the way until the end,  but it will be more fun and efficient to change between characters, depending on the situation. No cooldown is implemented into the exchange mechanism.

=== Artwork ===
*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' share their armor and weapon, but costumes and accessories are separate between the two.
<gallery widths=150px heights=150px>
*'''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.
File:LuyCiel.png|'''Lu/Ciel''''s Portrait.
**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:
File:LuFull.png|'''Lu''''s Portrait.
***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).
File:CielFull.png|'''Ciel''''s Portrait.
*You will always start out as '''Lu''' when entering PvP or dungeons.
File:Lu_and_Ciel_Attack_Full.png|Full '''Lu/Ciel''' skill cut in.
**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.
File:Lu_Attack.png|'''Lu''' skill cut-in.
*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'''.
File:Ciel_Attack.png|'''Ciel''' skill cut-in.
**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.
File:Luconceptart.png|'''Lu''''s Concept Art
**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.
File:Lu_and_Ciel_SD.png|'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''''s SD Portrait.
*When opening the '''First, Second, or Third Job Change Promotion Cube''', Lu and Ciel will both receive a set of promo avatars.
File:LuCielBlue.png|'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''''s poster.
*Just like [[Deadly Chaser]]'s Silver Shooters, Ciel's gunblades will do physical damage at close range.
</Gallery>
*Ciel's magic bullets consume 4 MP per shot.
=== Miscellaneous ===
*Ciel's recovery from knocked-down status is faster compared to the other characters.
<gallery widths=150px heights=150px>
*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.
File:betterpose.png|Idle pose and Promo avatar.
**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.
File:Lu_and_Ciel_Attack.png|'''Lu/Ciel''' in-game skill cut in.
**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 ==
== Trivia ==
*When entering PvP or dungeons, you will always start out as '''Lu'''.
{{Tabber
*Similar to [[Grand Master]], '''Lu's''' weapon is only canonically large as shown in her artwork, whereas '''Lu's''' gauntlets avatar weapon in-game is of smaller size.
|$divclass=forceland
*In her artwork, '''Lu''' is much smaller than '''Ciel''', however her ingame model size is only a bit shorter then Ciel.
|Lu/Ciel=
*'''Lu''' does not always hold on to her gauntlet, as shown in doing expressions, her gauntlet will disappear.
*'''Lu/Ciel''''s job path in Lore/Story would be the [[Innocent]] path.
*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' shares equipment but do not share costumes nor accessories.
*'''Lu/Ciel''''s official theme song is ''[[Loadstar]]''.
**However you are able to share common accessories with the wardrobe system.
*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' officially join the main cast after the [[Ash Covered Village]] story quest [[Story/Chapter 17|Save the Blacksmith!]]. Prior to joining the main cast, all dungeons will re-use one of 3 generic dungeon clear lines for both Lu and Ciel.
*The symbol of a four pointed star is a recurring motif in '''Lu''' and '''Ciel's''' design.
*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.
*The shape of '''Lu's''' tail will change depending on her job advancements.
*In her artwork, '''Lu''' is much smaller than '''Ciel''', while her in-game model size is only a bit shorter than '''Ciel'''.
**Her tail will only be visible if you are wearing her promo skirt.  
*The symbol of a four-pointed star is a recurring motif in '''Lu''' and '''Ciel's''' design.
*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.
**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.
**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.
*Prior to joining the El Search Party, '''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' are the first to encounter [[Karis]] before meeting the El Search Party, her being the one who killed '''Ciel''' before his contract with '''Lu'''.
*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.
*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' wrote the skill note [[Stomp|Lu Crater]].
*As their 1st Job Classes only advance Lu and their 2nd Job Classes only advance Ciel (vice versa for the [[Royal Guard]] path), '''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.
**For that same reason, they are also the only characters to receive Transcendence Skill Cut-ins of their 1st Job Classes.
*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 command 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. The only exception to this is [[Demersio]], who does properly gain 2 unique command extensions.
|Lu=
*'''Lu''' can control the size of her gauntlets at will as shown by the varying sizes in her official artwork and in-game. When '''Lu''' is in town or when she is performing expressions, the gauntlet shrinks down to the size of a glove. When fighting, the gauntlet expands and covers both arms, increasing in size further during certain commands and skills.
*Her crown and tail will only be visible if you are wearing her promo pieces.
**Oddly, her crown as it appears as base is absent in most story artwork, including the prologue and '''Nightmare''' side story. It does show up in the new '''Before Joining''' story scenes however.
*Oddly, in Lu's "Fearsome Beginner" skill cut-in, her gauntlets have five fingers when they normally have four, as seen from her in-game model and other artworks.
*Lu uses her gauntlets as a melee weapon and substitute for her demonic magic powers due to her original powers being depleted.
**In the [[Innocent]] path, as she regains most of her original powers, she only uses them to amplify her projectiles or as a medium for her Royal Artifact abilities. They do not appear in her artwork at all from [[Noblesse#Transcendence|Transcendence]] onward.
**In the [[Diangelion]] path, the gauntlets completely disappear in '''Manic Demon Form''', implying her original fighting style never even used the gauntlets in the first place.
*Lu is extremely fond of sweets and desserts but dislikes meat.
*Under the [[Sultharen|Demon King]], '''Lu''' is one of the previously reigning 4 Demon Lords, alongside [[Berngart]], [[Stirbargen]], and [[Aegirp]]. She held the title of "Steel Queen"
**'''Lu''''s ability to forge a contract with other beings (such as '''Ciel''') is a unique talent she developed and mastered, as each of the demon lords had an area they particularly excelled in, such as shapeshifting for [[Stirbargen]] and soul manipulation for [[Aegirp]].
*According to the Korean tooltip of [[Demonio]]'s [[Transcendence (Lu/Ciel)|Transcendence]] skill, '''Lu''' is implied to be of Asmodian origin.
*Both [[Innocent]] and [[Demersio]] frequently refer to Lu's powers originating from the abyss specifically, implying it to be something Lu's family used to preside over, rather than simply a descriptive term.
*'''Lu''' cannot feel the El's energy because she is a pure demon.
**Conversely, she can sense or 'smell' demonic energy at a much greater accuracy than the other characters, as well as see and read demonic writing, for the same reason.
*While in the story '''Lu''' is the least affected by the lack of El energy upon entering the Demon Realm, she still takes the full effects of the Demon Realm debuff during gameplay and needs to stack Adaptation like the rest of the cast to mitigate its effects.
*[[Stirbargen]] admits that he would be no match for '''Lu''' in a contest of pure strength, mentioning how he won a fight with her in the past through wits and tricks.
*As noted by [[Winster]], '''Lu''' was apparently rather cold-blooded and filled with murderous intent back in her days as a Demon Lord, something '''Lu''' rather not talk about when asked to elaborate by the El Search Party.
*Lu's Korean voice has an archaic Korean accent, giving her lines a peculiar contrast where she speaks like an old person but has a youthful voice.
|Ciel=
*'''Ciel''' is obsessed with anything cute.
*'''Ciel''' is obsessed with anything cute.
**He adores phorus especially, with [[Elsword]] even commenting on his phoru pajamas.
**He adores phorus especially, with [[Elsword]] even commenting on his phoru pajamas.
**He even states in his prologue that he may have helped Lu simply because she was cute.
**He even stated in his and Lu's prologue that he was fond of her cute appearance.
*'''Ciel''' is shown to be a skilled baker and has a vast knowledge of herbs that rivals those of elves, according to [[Rena]].
*'''Ciel''' is shown to be a skilled baker and has a vast knowledge of herbs that rivals those of elves, according to [[Rena]].
**Despite this, he dislikes being labelled as a butler, even though other characters view him as such.
**Despite this, he dislikes being labeled as a butler, even though other characters view him as such.
*Prior to joining the El Search Party, '''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' apparently encountered [[Raven]] several times during their journey.
*Ciel's base job age can only be seen at the character creation page, as the Korean website only states the details and story of '''Lu'''.
**They are also the first to encounter Karis before meeting the El Search Party.
*Ciel's grenades from {{CDRU}}{{CZ}}{{CX}} are considered skill damage by the scabbards in [[Solace's Fortress]]. This might indicate that Ciel's grenades were originally designed as a skill.
*Just like [[Deadly Chaser]]'s Silver Shooters, Ciel's Gunblades will do physical damage at close range.
*As seen in the backstory images and the animated trailer, after the contract with '''Lu''' is established, '''Ciel''''s ears become pointed and his hair gains blue highlights to signify his change from human to half-demon.
*As shown by [[Ran]] and '''Ciel''', humans who turn into half-demons changes appearance, where their hair changes color and horns will grow on their head. For Ciel, his hair changes in all of his job advancements. Each advancement shows how much '''Ciel''' has converted.

Lu/Ciel

[A weakened Demon Lord and an assassin of the alley way]

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). Players will have access to a special mechanic known as Switching to allow them to play as either Lu or Ciel in both towns and dungeons, and you can change between them via pressing V (default key and only available where combat is possible), combos or skills in dungeons, or the character window in towns. 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.

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.
    • 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.
  • 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.
    • 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
  • Lu
  • Ciel
  • Lu/Ciel's job path in Lore/Story would be the Innocent path.
  • Lu/Ciel's official theme song is Loadstar.
  • Lu and Ciel officially join the main cast after the Ash Covered Village story quest Save the Blacksmith!. Prior to joining the main cast, all dungeons will re-use one of 3 generic dungeon clear lines for both Lu and Ciel.
  • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
  • Prior to joining the El Search Party, Lu and Ciel are the first to encounter Karis before meeting the El Search Party, her being the one who killed Ciel before his contract with Lu.
  • 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.
  • Lu and Ciel wrote the skill note Lu Crater.
  • As their 1st Job Classes only advance Lu and their 2nd Job Classes only advance Ciel (vice versa for the Royal Guard path), 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.
    • For that same reason, they are also the only characters to receive Transcendence Skill Cut-ins of their 1st Job Classes.
  • 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 command 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. The only exception to this is Demersio, who does properly gain 2 unique command extensions.
