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 a surprising level of control. Introduced as a welfare Operator during the Break the Ice event, Kjera brings a unique style of Arts damage to the game via her drone companion. The damage from her drone scales the longer it focuses on a target, blending consistent DPS with crowd-control elements. This makes her an excellent addition to teams seeking safe and scalable ranged Arts output.
Unlike burst-focused Casters, Kjera adopts a more methodical approach. Her basic attacks may not be the most powerful, but her short attack interval and the ramping power of her drone make her increasingly dangerous as battles prolong. With the right setup, she can compete with Core Casters of similar rarity. Best of all, she's free, making her an invaluable asset for both new and returning players.
Operator Overview
As a member of the Mech-Accord branch, Kjera attacks in tandem with a drone that deals Arts damage. This damage starts at 20% of her ATK and increases by 15% with each consecutive hit on the same target, up to a maximum of 110%. Thanks to her fast attack rate, this mechanic allows her to deliver impressive sustained DPS, particularly against stationary or slow-moving enemies. Kjera is obtained not through banners or gacha, but via her guidebook or Record Restoration, which rewards targeting consistency.
The longer her drone can focus on a single enemy, the higher her damage output. This makes her ideal for tackling bosses or mini-bosses that remain within range for extended periods. However, forced retargeting will reset the ramp-up, so careful positioning and control are essential.
Kjera also benefits from operators who can lower enemy RES or apply Freeze effects, as these synergize well with the Cold effect from her S2. Additionally, operators who buff ATK or ASPD can indirectly enhance her drone's effectiveness.
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 consistent drone lock-on
- ATK Buffers like Warfarin or Shamare: Boost her and her drone's base damage
When deploying Kjera, consider her positioning carefully. Her talent requires melee tiles within her range, so scout your map layout and choose deployment zones that meet this condition without sacrificing coverage.
Kjera is a quiet powerhouse. With her slow-building drone pressure, potential for Cold debuffs, and reliable team-friendly setup, she exceeds expectations for a welfare unit. Whether you're using her for consistent lane control or strategic boss damage, she delivers when placed and built smartly.
For enhanced map control and precise drone management, consider playing Arknights on PC with BlueStacks. The improved visuals and faster response times make it easier to position Kjera correctly, time your skills, and maintain steady drone pressure through even the most challenging stages.
