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 (1.5 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 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.

*Unlike other characters, 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.

*When in Free Training, the Special Recovery only gives one combination point at a time.

*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.  

*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.  

**Her crown will only be visible if you are wearing her promo top piece.

**Her tail will only be visible if you are wearing her promo bottom piece.  

*Lu only uses her gauntlets as a melee weapon and substitute for her demonic magic powers due to her original powers being completely depleted as base and [[Chiliarch]].  

**As [[Noblesse]], who regained most of her original power, she only uses them to amplify her projectiles or carry her spears with. She no longer uses them as an active weapon.  

**As [[Diabla]], the gauntlets completely disappear in '''Madness''' state, implying her original fighting style never even used the gauntlets in the first place, which is also hinted as [[Noblesse]].

*The side story [[Lu/Ciel's Story|'''Nightmare 3''']] shows Lu's allegiance in the Demon World.

**After meeting with the '''Demon King''', Lu agreed to stand under him as one of the 4 Great Demon Lords.

**She stood beside the three other Demon Lords, '''Berngart''', '''Stirbargen''', and '''Aegirp''' and held the title of "Steel Queen"

*The side story [[Lu/Ciel's Story|'''Nightmare 4''']] tells us the identity of who restrained Lu.

**She was betrayed by a Demon General called Barkat, who chained and tortured her.

*'''Ciel''' is the only character whose Evil Tracer [[Ice Burners|Ice Burner]] set is based on a miniboss instead of a main boss. His [[Evil Tracer 2]] set is based on the miniboss [[8-5|Incubus : Incoolord]] while '''Lu''''s costume is based on [[Karis]].
