Pepper — Stats, Skills, Best Teams

Q: Should you pull?

Should you pull?YES — Pepper is a rare Supporter who heals AND deals heavy Burst damage, fitting both sustain-focused and fast-clear teams. Worth pulling if you lack a versatile Wind Supporter or are building the full 3-unit Seraphim lineup.

Q: Skill Investment Priority

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 4/4/4 (functional) → 7/4/7 → 10/4/10 (endgame). Why: Burst carries both her damage and healing so it's top priority; Skill 1 (healing plus HP Potency stacking) ranks next since it works continuously all fight; Skill 2 only affects one enemy target so it can wait.

Review & Analysis

Pepper is a Wind Shotgun (SG) Supporter from Missilis, a healer with a surprisingly massive single-target Burst hit. Refresh Heart automatically heals the lowest-HP ally whenever the last bullet in a magazine hits, while also stacking HP Potency for the whole team — a steady survival foundation over time. Her Burst, Pepper Therapy, deals a huge hit to the highest-ATK enemy while adding an extra buff stack for the team, and once Refresh Heart is fully stacked it also heals the whole squad for a large amount of HP. Vitamin Power is a secondary attack, dealing moderate damage to the most dangerous enemy while slightly lowering its ATK.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst Pepper Therapy (huge damage plus team healing when Refresh Heart is maxed) → Refresh Heart (passive healing and HP Potency stacking, the core survival tool) → Vitamin Power (secondary damage plus enemy ATK reduction).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 4/4/4 (functional) → 7/4/7 → 10/4/10 (endgame). Why: Burst carries both her damage and healing so it's top priority; Skill 1 (healing plus HP Potency stacking) ranks next since it works continuously all fight; Skill 2 only affects one enemy target so it can wait.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Burst both deals a heavy 1237.5% ATK hit to the strongest enemy and heals the whole squad once Refresh Heart hits 5 stacks — offense and support combined in one skill.
Skill 1 auto-heals the lowest-HP ally and stacks a 6.53% HP Potency buff (up to 5 times) after every last-bullet hit.
Skill 2 also deals extra damage and lowers the strongest enemy's ATK — heal, debuff, and damage all in one, extremely versatile.

Weaknesses

Burst's healing effect depends on Refresh Heart being fully stacked at 5, needing time to build up before reaching peak value.
Shotgun range is short.
The multi-role kit (heal + damage + debuff) means no single effect is as strong as a dedicated specialist Supporter's.
