=== Specialty ===
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. 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 but you will always start out as '''Lu''' when entering PvP or dungeons. You can choose to either defeat enemies with strong demonic magic as the melee Lu, with quick slashes and gun shots as the ranged Ciel, or utilize both to chain numerous combos.

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.

:''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.


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

“짐의 왕좌를 되찾을 것이다.”
:''Main Article: [[Lu/Ciel's Story|Nightmare]]''<br>
마계를 지탱하던 여러 군주 중의 한 명이었으나, 측근에게 배신당해 모든 힘을 잃고 오랜 시간 동안 봉인 당했다.
<!--Needs summary of all quest.-->
마지막 마력을 소모해 봉인을 뚫고 도망쳤으나 엘리오스로 넘어오며 과도한 마력의 소모로 인해 어린아이의 모습으로 변해버렸다.

== Tips and Details ==
== Tips and Details ==
*'''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]].
*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' share their armor and weapon, but costumes and accessories are separate between the two.
**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.
*'''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.
**Likewise, HP sockets and non-set bonuses are also shared, though these do show in the status window properly.
**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:
***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.
***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).
*When opening the '''First Job Change Promotion Cube''', Lu and Ciel will both receive a set of promo avatars. However, only the advanced character's set will receive the set bonus.  
*You will always start out as '''Lu''' when entering PvP or dungeons.
**When opening the '''Second Job Change Promotion Cube''', Lu and Ciel will both receive a set of promo avatars with promo set bonuses.
**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.
*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 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.

*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.
**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.
*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.

*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.
*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.
*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.
*The size of Lu's gauntlets varies to different actions done. 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.

*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"
*The side story [[Lu/Ciel's Story|'''Nightmare 1''']] shows '''Ciel''' inside '''Lu''''s Nightmare.
**'''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]].

*'''Lu''' cannot feel the El's energy because she is a pure demon.
**After meeting with the '''Demon King''', Lu agreed to stand under him as one of the 4 Great Demon Lords.

*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.
*The side story [[Lu/Ciel's Story|'''Nightmare 4''']] tells us the identity of who restrained Lu.
*[[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.
**She was betrayed by a Demon General called Barkat, who chained and tortured her.
*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.
*According to the Korean tooltip of [[Demonio]]'s [[Transcendence (Demonio)|Transcendence]] skill, Lu is implied to be of Asmodian origin.

**[[Terre]] loved the cookies in [[Lanox]] but couldn't afford them. The two promised that someday they'd be rich and bake as many cookies as they want. This contributed to '''Ciel''''s desire to learn to bake.
**'''Ciel''', having survived the attack on his family, was rescued by a hitman called [[Wolvernian]], who he affectionately calls [[Wolvernian|Verni]].
*'''Ciel''' acted as a second chance for [[Wolvernian|Verni]] to redeem himself, '''Ciel''' saw '''Lu''' as his second chance to protect and fulfill the promises he made to [[Terre]].
**[[Wolvernian|Verni]] supplied Ciel with food, who asked him to teach him how to cook. However, '''Ciel''' then also asks to be taught how to fight, wanting to take revenge on the people who killed his family.
**[[Wolvernian|Verni]] notices the lust for revenge in '''Ciel''''s eyes and teaches '''Ciel''' how to fight on the condition that he never uses the skills he's learned on other people, to which Ciel reluctantly agrees.
**Instead, he trained himself by hunting wild animals, in turn allowing him to get materials to cook with.
*In the third Lu/Ciel [http://elwiki.net/babel/?p=4008 '''voiced webtoon'''], it shows a bit more about '''Ciel''''s past.
**'''Ciel''' seems to have been somewhat of a hot head when he was a child, always talking about revenge.
**[[Wolvernian|Verni]] would punish him for talking about revenge by making him cook slow-cooked pancakes.
*In the fourth Lu/Ciel [http://elwiki.net/babel/?p=4024 '''voiced webtoon'''], it is revealed that '''Ciel''' has a deceased sister named [[Terre]].
**[[Terre]] loved the cookies in [[Lanox]] but couldn't afford them. The two promised that some day they'd be rich and bake as many cookies as they want. This contributed to '''Ciel''''s desire to learn to bake.
**It is also revealed that [[Wolvernian|Verni]] met '''Ciel''' on the anniversary of one of his friend's death. He believed that taking in '''Ciel''' would be a second chance for him to redeem himself.
**Just as '''Ciel''' acted as a second chance for [[Wolvernian|Verni]] to redeem himself, '''Ciel''' saw '''Lu''' as his second chance to protect and fulfill the promises he made to [[Terre]].
*In the fifth Lu/Ciel [http://elwiki.net/babel/?p=4073 '''voiced webtoon'''], it is revealed what happened to [[Wolvernian]].
**[[Wolvernian]] was shot down by gunmen hired by the fearful resident who had learned that the infamous hitman had been living in their neighborhood.
**Learning of [[Wolvernian|Verni]]'s death, '''Ciel''' snapped and was set back on the path he would take to become a hitman.

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.
