=== 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 '''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 3 seconds. 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 (3 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.

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.

'''Lu'''<br>
{{Background
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>
|NA=
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.
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.


'''Ciel'''<br>
To regain Lu's lost power and authority, they set out on a journey following demon tracks...
Lu's bodyguard and butler.<br>
|KR=
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.
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.

=== 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 combination 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''''s 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''''s 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:Lucashfull.png|Lu's Full body Cash Shop cut in.
**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:Cielcashfull.png|Ciel's Full body Cash Shop cut in.
*When opening the '''First, Second, or Third Job Change Promotion Cube''', Lu and Ciel will both receive a set of promo avatars.
File:MLu.png|A Skill Cut-in of a genderbent '''Lu''' used to celebrate April Fools.
*Just like [[Deadly Chaser]]'s Silver Shooters, Ciel's gunblades will do physical damage at close range.
File:FCiel.png|A Skill Cut-in of a genderbent '''Ciel''' used to celebrate April Fools.
*Ciel's magic bullets consume 4 MP per shot.
File:LuCielAF.png|A Skill Cut-in of a genderbent '''Lu/Ciel''' used to celebrate April Fools (Combination).
*Ciel's recovery from knocked-down status is faster compared to the other characters.
File:Luconceptart.png|'''Lu''''s Concept Art.
*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:LuCielConcept.png|Lu/Ciel full concept art.
**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_SD.png|'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''''s chibi portrait.
**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.

{{Tabber
*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' officially joins the main cast after the [[9-1|Burnt Forest]] story quest '''[Dungeon] Break Through the Burnt Forest!!'''.
|$divclass=forceland
*'''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/Ciel=
**'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' also share the effects of costume sets, sockets, and accessories. For example, you can have 2 full IB sets for Lu and Ciel and both of their set effects will stack. However, it cannot stack more than one of the same sets for effects or certain sets that give same effects.
*'''Lu/Ciel''''s job path in Lore/Story would be the [[Innocent]] path.
*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.
*'''Lu/Ciel''''s official theme song is ''[[Loadstar]]''.
*In her artwork, '''Lu''' is much smaller than '''Ciel''', while her in-game model size is only a bit shorter than Ciel.
*'''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.
*Prior to joining the El Search Party, '''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' apparently encountered [[Raven]] several times during their journey.
*In her artwork, '''Lu''' is much smaller than '''Ciel''', while her in-game model size is only a bit shorter than '''Ciel'''.
**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 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 [[Stomp|Lu Crater]].
*'''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.
=== Lu ===
**For that same reason, they are also the only characters to receive Transcendence Skill Cut-ins of their 1st Job Classes.
*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.  
*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.
*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.
*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 shape of '''Lu's''' horns and tail will change depending on her job advancements.
|Lu=
**Her crown will only be visible if you are wearing her promo top piece.  
*'''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 tail will only be visible if you are wearing her promo bottom piece.  
*Her crown and tail will only be visible if you are wearing her promo pieces.
*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.
**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.

=== Ciel ===
*Lu uses her gauntlets as a melee weapon and substitute for her demonic magic powers due to her original powers being depleted.
*Ciel's recovery from knocked-down status is faster compared to the other characters.
**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.
*Just like [[Deadly Chaser]]'s Silver Shooters, Ciel's gunblades will do physical damage at close range.
**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.
**This can also be seen in the 3rd season of [[ElType]]'s [http://elwiki.net/babel/comic/Takoman/With_You/1 '''With You'''] wherein '''Ciel's''' "Inner Voice" can be heard.
**He even stated in his and Lu's prologue that he was fond of her cute appearance.
**He even stated in his and Lu's prologue that her cuteness and small figure attract him.
*'''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.
*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'''.
*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.
*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.
**For [[Innocent|Chevalier]], his hair changes and remains a brighter blue hue as he uses the least demonic energy. [[Catastrophe|Abysser]]'s hair transitions to completely white over his job advancements. [[Diangelion|Anular]]'s turns completely white and sprouts a horn as he progresses the most into the demon conversion.
*'''Ciel''' has a deceased sister named [[Terre]].
**[[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''' 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]].
