File:LuNEW.pngFile:RGNEW.png Lu/Royal Guard

Specialty

A Royal Guard specializes more on Ciel's combo attacks. With a new weapon in hand, he is capable of firing heavy projectiles at a safe distance. He is also able to extract soul energy from enemies to help strengthen his skills.

Background

Now that Ciel has acquired great powers from the demon realm, he pours all efforts into helping Lu, so that she may win back her throne sooner. It's the least a butler could do. Determined, Ciel becomes the Royal Guard, the ultimate marksman worthy of his noble master. With this peerless reinforcement, Lu is well on her way back to demonic greatness.

Tips and Details

  • Lu and Ciel's Sniper Mode each have some very notable differences.
    • Lu's   projectiles only cost 3 MP, and return 4.5 MP per hit on a single enemy, for 10.5 MP net-gain per  . Ciel's   projectiles on the other hand, cost 15 MP, and have the same MP gain as Lu's, resulting in a net-loss of 1.5 MP per  . (Values represent base with 0 "MP Gain on Attack" stat)
    • Lu's   projectiles are not affected by Soul Collector's piercing/range increases and travel a bit slower, but have infinite piercing by default. Ciel's   projectiles only pierce once by default, but they travel faster and are affected by Soul Collector, letting them pierce up to 3 times while reaching much further than Lu's.
    • Lu's   blast will always have a start-up time, even without charging it, unless you aim it up or down (with Noblesse's combo). Ciel's   blast can be released instantaneously at any time.
  • Interestingly, Lu's      is affected by Soul Collector's piercing/range increases and thus only pierces a maximum of 3 times, despite her Sniper Mode being unaffected.
  • The   blast for both characters, including the aimed variant from Noblesse, is affected by Soul Collector's damage increase, but not the other effects, though it has infinite piercing by default.
    • The blast reaches it maximum damage the moment it has used up 20 MP total. You can still hold it for quite some time after but that only serves to delay the attack.


Trivia

  • It is implied Royal Guard's cross-shaped rifle is always hanging from his back as show in the class portrait, as any animations that require it start with Ciel grabbing it from behind him, as well as end with him returning it to his back.
  • Royal Guard's concept design is based on various musical themes and conductors.
    • His new tailcoat is reminiscent of the stereotypical outfits for conductors.
    • He has access to two skills which are musical segments of one 'piece', which are 'titled' Fantasy Impromptu - 1st Movement and Fantasy Impromptu - 2nd Movement.
      • Both of these skill icons also show Ciel in poses commonly struck by conductors when directing an orchestra.
      • During these skills, Ciel will shout various musical terms relating to the animation, rather than the skill's name.
  • Due to using very little demonic powers as Royal Guard as opposed to Dreadlord or Demonio, Ciel's hair does not turn white. It still turns into a much paler shade of blue however, showing that even as Royal Guard he is still influenced by Lu's demonic powers.
  • Royal Guard's gun blades do not actually have blades on them. This is likely indicative of Royal Guard's focus on magical ranged combos over physical melee combos.
