Fighting Style
Eclaire Jerusalem is the holy lightning mistress and she fights with her staff and she has a higher Intellect and Vitality rating. Her staff both covers a large area and is relatively fast, making her a good choice for clearing crowds. Her staff that Eclaire wields also has surprisingly high attack power and is quite powerful against officers. The only disadvantages of her staff lie in the quirky hitboxes some attacks seem to have, particularly her third and fourth part of the attack string. It is not rare to miss enemies with these attacks because of the high position of the hitbox. It is therefore advised to fight enemies either on level or from lower ground.

On the downside of Eclaire Jerusalem is a low Strength rating and has poor paralyze resist rate. Some enemies with higher paralyze rate could hit Eclaire will cause a paralyzed or staggered for 3 seconds. To counter this, the player must increase the paralyze resist rate by equipping a armors and accessories with higher Strength rating.

Also like Simon Jerusalem, Eclaire Jerusalem is another character that has a healing skill to keep both Eclaire Jerusalem and her allies alive and stay in fight instead of falling back and heal.
