Kjera might 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 a surprising degree of control. As the welfare Operator introduced during the Break the Ice event, Kjera offers a unique approach to Arts damage, utilizing her drone companion that scales damage the longer it remains focused on a target. This combination of consistent DPS and crowd-control elements makes her a valuable addition to teams seeking reliable, scalable ranged Arts output.
Unlike burst-focused Casters, Kjera's strategy is more methodical. Her basic attacks may not pack the hardest punch, but her short attack interval and the drone's ramping power make her increasingly dangerous as battles prolong. With the right setup, she can match the performance of Core Casters of similar rarity—and the best part? She's free, making her an excellent choice for both new and returning players.
Operator Overview
As a member of the Mech-Accord branch, Kjera attacks in sync with her 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 fast attack rate, this feature provides impressive sustained DPS, particularly against stationary or slow-moving enemies. Unlike typical acquisition through banners or gacha, Kjera is obtained via her guidebook, known as Record Restoration.
This system encourages targeting consistency; the longer her drone can focus on one enemy, the more her damage escalates. This makes her an ideal choice for tackling bosses or mini-bosses that linger within her range. However, be mindful that any forced retargeting will reset the ramp-up, so strategic positioning and control are essential.
Kjera's effectiveness can be enhanced by operators who reduce enemy RES or apply Freeze, synergizing well with the Cold effect from her S2. Additionally, operators that boost ATK or ASPD can indirectly amplify her drone's impact.
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 placing Kjera, consider her talent's need for melee tiles within her range. Scout your map layout and choose deployment zones that allow you to fulfill this condition without compromising coverage.
Kjera is a quietly potent force. Her gradual drone pressure, Cold debuff potential, and reliable team synergy enable her to outperform expectations for a welfare unit. Whether used for consistent lane control or strategic boss damage, she excels when positioned and supported wisely.
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 effectively, time your skills accurately, and maintain steady drone pressure through the most challenging stages.
