## **11.3 Trivia, Spoilers & more**

Based on her appearance, personality and unlocked region, the name Pepper is likely referring to red pepper, a spicy spice originated from Asia.

She is introduced in 10-1. Although the “pulls in all heroes and deals great damage and ongoing damage” condition might be introduced earlier (in daily dungeon), the width of the damage area is narrow and therefore heroes can simply walk away. However, with the introduction of Pepper, the condition evolves to increase in width, such that it is impossible to avoid damage without use of her skill. Since heroes stand still while casting their skill, the best timing to cast Peppers skills is when your team is just about to be pulled.

Pepper provide great damage output if the team can utilize the entire duration of the skill. Since melee characters does 70% ATK damage per second and ranged characters beside Ration (after level 25) does 100% ATK damage per second, assuming your team has 2 melee and 2 ranged characters, her skill provide 1340% ATK extra damage throughout the duration (at level 40).

Although providing great utility and damage boost, she is not the highest priority for Ether upgrade. Unlike Coq Au Vin and Muffin, where lack of level can leads to the condition monsters surviving, Pepper’s condition can always be escaped no matter the level. She also have a rather safe position in the party, standing only in front of Ration.

The Rita’s Artifact for Pepper serves a similar function to Limu’s Artifact. Since health is a scarce resource only gained from regeneration, the extra healing from Pepper’s Artifact means you can recover from minor mistakes and damage distributed across the team can be recovered faster. This healing is not potent enough to sustain your frontline through the bosses attack, and doesn’t really make a game changing difference, which also explains why her Artifact is obtained last.

In newest Version 3.5.0, there's an artifact that increase an extra basic damage 10% & Other heroes skill cooldown decreases more quickly when Pepper's Focus Boost is active. Which provides a huge cooldown of other heroes skills & Basic damage increase.
