Tips and Details

• As you cannot use any other skills or attacks while in Madness state, it is best to use certain buff skills before activating Transcendence.
• While the combo does a lot of damage, it takes an extremely long time (10 seconds if completed) to do said damage, making it quite bad for your overall damage output.
  • can be looped quite easily as the second has short recovery frames. Due to the range and damage of the first two slashes, this is suggested over doing the complete combo.
• Awakening while in Madness state when a loading screen appears will cause the awakening to be canceled.
  • In the same way, if a room transition interrupts Ciel mid-transformation, your CP will be used and the transformation will not happen.
    • Strangely, if the Madness cancel sequence is interrupted, your CP will still be safely returned and its attack will be stored and automatically used shortly afterwards.
• You can technically bring up your secondary skill slots during Madness, even though visually they won't show up.
  • However, you'll be unable to use Madness Skills or the skills equipped to those slots.

Trivia

The prototype skill icon

• Ciel's voice becomes noticeably more destructive and mad while in Madness state.
• Ciel's Madness state is the direct result of the contract with Lu feeding too much demonic power into him too quickly, as opposed to Dreadlord who has learned to deal with those powers over time.
• Ciel completely abandons his projectile attacks in Madness state, using his gunblades only as swords.
• Ciel's body turns completely dark while during Madness state, nothing more remaining than his eyes, now completely engulfed in an eerie blue glow, signifying his complete descent into darkness.
• The Korean tooltip mentions that Ciel is transformed into an Asmodian demon by the demonic energy passed over from Diabla, implying Lu to be of Asmodian origin. This could be be a reference to KOG's earlier game, Grand Chase, and the demon character Dio, who himself was an Asmodian demon.
