Sweet 'n' Spicy

Carole Pepper is a playable character in A Post-Honkai Odyssey. She's a young girl who is cheerful and lives life freely. She is a B-rank Valkyrie enrolled at St. Freya High and is the daughter of Lewis, a retired B-rank Valkyrie from Schicksal.

Carole is a character who uses heavy mechanical gauntlets, which can deal massive amount of damage as well as easily break enemies' Physical shields.

However, due to low Attack Speed, this may cause some issues with few monsters that require higher attack speed. Additionally, she has poor air combat performance when using Basic Attacks, making her not recommended to use for those occasions.

A powerful melee fighter who wields gauntlets with slow Attack Speed but high damage and Interruption, effective against heavily shielded or ground enemies.
Deals primarily Physical DMG and attacks to stack KE which triggers the damage boosting Liberated status when fully charged.
QTE and Ultimate Leap Counter are Throws that deal massive damage.

Jet Gauntlets

Jet Gauntlets

A pair of heavy jet-powered gauntlets named Kissy Pillow No. 4 with abilities to launch enemies into the air and do heavy ground slams or spinning smashes.

While there is not much information about their performance, these gauntlets are shown to be capable of lifting entities equivalent to Code VII Chariot, who is larger than Carole herself. Moreover, an unknown tractor function is built into them, which allows Carole to pull enemies to her—or do the opposite if her target is too large to be moved. Despite the qualities mentioned above, the gauntlets are also capable of fine operations, as Carole has mentioned that she's used them to successfully hold an eyeliner.

Apart from combat, Carole also uses the gauntlets to reach locations that are too high to access via jumping, either by launching one gauntlet upward while clinging onto it or simply riding atop of it.
