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 impressive control. As a welfare Operator introduced during the Break the Ice event, Kjera offers a distinctive approach to Arts damage, thanks to her drone companion. This drone scales its damage the longer it focuses on a target, blending consistent DPS with crowd-control elements. She's an excellent addition to any team seeking reliable, scalable ranged Arts output.
Unlike burst-focused Casters, Kjera adopts a more methodical strategy. While her basic attacks may not hit the hardest, her short attack interval combined with her drone's ramping power makes her increasingly dangerous as battles prolong. With the right setup, she can match the performance of Core Casters of similar rarity—and she's free, making her an ideal choice for both new and returning players.
Operator Overview
As a member of the Mech-Accord branch, Kjera's attacks are enhanced by a drone that deals Arts damage. Starting at 20% of her ATK, the drone's damage increases by 15% with each consecutive hit on the same target, reaching a maximum of 110%. Coupled with her rapid attack rate, this feature ensures impressive sustained DPS, particularly against stationary or slow-moving enemies. Unlike characters obtained through banners or gacha, Kjera can be acquired through her guidebook or Record Restoration, emphasizing the importance of targeting consistency. The longer her drone can focus on one enemy, the more devastating her damage becomes, making her an excellent choice for tackling bosses or mini-bosses that remain within range for extended periods. However, be cautious, as any forced retargeting will reset her drone's ramp-up, necessitating careful positioning and control.
Kjera's effectiveness is further enhanced by operators who can lower enemy RES or apply Freeze, complementing the Cold effect from her S2 skill. Additionally, operators who buff ATK or ASPD can indirectly boost her drone’s potency.
Recommended Synergy:
- Slowers like Angelina or Istina: Extend Cold durations and reduce escape chances
- Freezers like Gnosis: Stack control effects for guaranteed freezes
- Tanky Defenders like Saria: Pin enemies down for drone lock-on consistency
- ATK Buffers like Warfarin or Shamare: Boost her and her drone’s base damage
When deploying Kjera, consider her placement carefully. Her talent requires melee tiles within her range, so scout the map layout and select deployment zones that meet this condition without compromising coverage.
Kjera is a quiet powerhouse. With her slow-building drone pressure, potential for Cold debuffs, and reliable team-friendly setup, she delivers exceptional performance for a welfare unit. Whether you're using her for consistent lane control or strategic boss damage, she offers the tools to succeed—especially when positioned and built strategically.
For optimal map control and precise drone management, consider playing Arknights on PC with BlueStacks. The enhanced visuals and quick response time make it easier to position Kjera correctly, time your skills, and maintain steady drone pressure through even the most challenging stages.
