Kjera may appear calm and composed, but don't let that fool you—she's a formidable 5-star Mech-Accord Caster in Arknights, capable of locking down and eliminating enemies with remarkable control. Introduced as the welfare Operator during the Break the Ice event, Kjera offers a unique approach to Arts damage through her drone companion, which increases damage the longer it focuses on a target. She combines consistent damage per second (DPS) with crowd-control elements, making her an excellent fit for teams seeking reliable, scalable ranged Arts output.

Unlike burst-focused Casters in this strategic game, Kjera's method is more methodical. Her basic attacks may not be the most powerful, but her short attack interval and the escalating power of her drone make her increasingly dangerous as battles progress. With the right setup, she can rival even Core Casters of similar rarity—and being available for free, she's an excellent choice for both new and returning players.

Operator Overview

Kjera is part of the Mech-Accord branch, meaning she attacks alongside a drone. This drone inflicts Arts damage starting at 20% of her ATK, increasing by 15% with each consecutive hit on the same target, up to a maximum of 110%. Coupled with her rapid attack rate, this feature provides impressive sustained DPS, particularly against stationary or slow-moving enemies. Kjera is obtained through her guidebook or Record Restoration, rather than through banners or gacha.

This system rewards targeting consistency. The longer her drone can focus on one enemy, the greater her damage becomes, making her an ideal choice for bosses or mini-bosses that remain in range for extended periods. However, be aware that any forced retargeting will reset the ramp-up, so careful positioning and control are crucial.

Kjera also benefits from operators who reduce enemy RES or apply Freeze, synergizing well with the Cold effect from her S2. Operators that buff ATK or ASPD can indirectly enhance her drone's effectiveness.

Recommended Synergy:

• Slowers like Angelina or Istina: Extend Cold durations and reduce enemy escape chances.
• Freezers like Gnosis: Stack control effects for guaranteed freezes.
• Tanky Defenders like Saria: Keep enemies pinned down for consistent drone lock-on.
• ATK Buffers like Warfarin or Shamare: Increase her and her drone’s base damage.

When positioning Kjera, consider that her talent requires melee tiles within her range. Scout your map layout and select deployment zones that meet this condition without sacrificing coverage.

Kjera is a subtle powerhouse. With her gradual drone pressure, potential for Cold debuffs, and reliable team-friendly setup, she outperforms expectations for a welfare unit. Whether used for consistent lane control or strategic boss damage, she delivers when placed and built strategically.

For enhanced map control and precise drone management, consider playing Arknights on a PC with BlueStacks. The improved visuals and faster response time make it easier to position her correctly, time your skills, and maintain steady drone pressure through even the most challenging stages.
