Kjera might appear serene and collected, but don't be deceived—she's a formidable 5-star Mech-Accord Caster capable of locking down and dispatching enemies with remarkable control. As a welfare Operator introduced during the Break the Ice event, Kjera introduces a distinctive form of Arts damage to Arknights, utilizing her drone companion which amplifies damage the longer it remains focused on a target. Her ability to deliver consistent DPS alongside crowd-control features makes her an ideal addition to teams in need of reliable, scalable ranged Arts damage.
Unlike the burst-focused Casters in this strategy game, Kjera adopts a more deliberate strategy. While her basic attacks might not be the most powerful, her short attack interval combined with her drone's escalating power makes her increasingly lethal as battles prolong. With the proper configuration, she can match the performance of Core Casters of the same 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 alongside a drone that inflicts Arts damage starting at 20% of her ATK, increasing by 15% with each consecutive strike on the same target, up to a maximum of 110%. Her rapid attack rate, combined with this mechanic, results in remarkable sustained DPS, particularly against stationary or slow-moving foes. Unlike traditional acquisition through banners or gacha, Kjera can be obtained via her guidebook or Record Restoration.
This system encourages targeting consistency, as the longer her drone focuses on an enemy, the higher her damage output becomes. This makes her an excellent choice against bosses or mini-bosses that linger within her range. However, any forced retargeting will reset the ramp-up, so strategic positioning and control are essential.
Kjera also thrives with operators who can reduce enemy RES or apply Freeze, complementing the Cold effect from her S2. Additionally, those who enhance ATK or ASPD can indirectly boost her drone's effectiveness.
Recommended Synergy:
- Slowers like Angelina or Istina: Extend Cold durations and minimize escape opportunities.
- Freezers like Gnosis: Amplify control effects for assured 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.
It's crucial to consider Kjera's placement. Her talent relies on having melee tiles within her range, so analyze your map layout and select deployment zones that meet this requirement without compromising coverage.
Kjera is a silent force to be reckoned with. With her gradually intensifying drone pressure, potential for Cold debuffs, and a team-friendly setup, she exceeds expectations for a welfare unit. Whether you're using her for consistent lane control or strategic boss damage, she possesses the tools to excel—especially when positioned and developed strategically.
For enhanced map control and precise drone management, consider playing Arknights on PC with BlueStacks. The improved visuals and swift response time facilitate better positioning, skill timing, and maintaining consistent drone pressure through even the most challenging stages.
