## Description

Ciel is the supporting character for Zero and the deuteragonist in the Mega Man Zero series.

A genius scientist born from the technological advancement in human genetic modification. She is a major background character in setting up many events in Rockman Zero series and laid the foundation to many in its sequel, the Rockman ZX series.

Despite this, if situation arise, she will still take up the solution of fighting to protect those around her, though it pains her many time asking Zero to carry out such dangerous tasks.

## Tips

* Unlike other Sprayer users, Ciel is meant to be played more defensively. Her ability to recover health as well as boosted defense while within Ciel System makes her a good defensive character, rapidly stacking debuffs on targets in range and making them sitting ducks for stronger attacks, whether from your own weapons or from ally players in Co-op. She also has a tiny niche as a Race character with her Animal elf - Turbo card.
* This is immediately offset by her lack of range outside of Cyber Elf's support fire and general passive nature. While great in a supporting role, Ciel's offensive ability is virtually nonexistent without the right setup of weapons, cards and DNA. Be wary of bringing her into PvP, as even with Weapon Seal and multiple Slow stacks, she cannot withstand most characters due to her inability to bypass resistance and preventative shields as well as being restricted to Ciel System for survival, leaving her vulnerable to opponents like DiVE Armor Zero and Bass XX.

## Trivia

* The passive Boosted Shot is called Ciel Area (シエルエリア) in Japanese.
* The appearance of  is similar to that of a Hacker-type Cyber Elves in Rockman Zero.
* The passives for  and its functionality refer to the cyber-elf types and their functions in Rockman Zero series.
	+ normally function like "Bee" Animal-type Cyber Elves that shoot bullets at the enemies.
	+ Animal Elf - Shelter refers to the function of the "Turtle" Animal-type Cyber Elves that boost defensive power on use.
	+ Animal Elf - Turbo refers to the function of the "Cheetah" Animal-type Cyber Elves that boost speed on use.
	+ Nurse Elf refers to the function of the Nurse-type Cyber Elves and alludes to the function of both the "C" and "E" series of the Nurse-type, as the passives heal Ciel directly but only for a small portion.
	+ Hacker Elf refers to function of the "Time" Hacker-type Cyber Elves albeit the effect here primarily can only slow the enemy not stopping them completely.
* The lotus that represent  seems to be sentient here, as a reference to its concept of creation, fusing Cyber-elves energy, sentient living data beings, and Energy Crystal to create the system.
	+ Boosted Shot refers to the fact that the creation of the Ciel System result in great improvement for the Cyber Elves from Rockman Zero 3 onward.
* Similar to Iris, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ciel was implemented without voice lines. Since her debut in August 27, 2020, she has not had any voice lines implemented.
	+ On June 13 2022, Capcom Taiwan and Japan annouced that she will be voiced by Rie Tanaka and will have unique voiceline for all 3 of her current variant. However, Christmas Ciel and Valentines Day Ciel will be added on June 29 instead.
