Kjera may appear serene and poised, but don't let her demeanor deceive you—she's a formidable 5-star Mech-Accord Caster with the ability to lock down and eliminate enemies with impressive control. Introduced as the welfare Operator during the Break the Ice event, Kjera offers a unique style of Arts damage through her drone companion, which increases damage the longer it focuses on a target. She blends consistent damage per second (DPS) with crowd-control elements, making her a perfect addition to teams seeking reliable and scalable ranged Arts output.

Unlike burst-focused Casters in Arknights, Kjera's strategy is more measured. While her basic attacks may not be the most powerful, her short attack interval and the escalating power of her drone make her increasingly lethal as combat progresses. With the right setup, she can compete with even 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

Kjera is part of the Mech-Accord branch, utilizing a drone to attack alongside her. This drone inflicts Arts damage that starts at 20% of her ATK and increases by 15% with each consecutive hit on the same target, reaching a maximum of 110%. Her rapid attack rate, combined with this mechanic, results in impressive sustained DPS, particularly against stationary or slow-moving enemies. Unlike typical gacha systems, Kjera is obtained through her guidebook or Record Restoration.

Her system rewards targeting consistency; the longer her drone can focus on one enemy, the more damage it deals. This makes her ideal for bosses or mini-bosses that remain within range for extended periods. However, be cautious—any forced retargeting will reset the ramp-up, making careful positioning and control essential.

Kjera also synergizes well with operators who reduce enemy RES or apply Freeze, enhancing the Cold effect from her S2. Additionally, operators that boost ATK or ASPD can indirectly amplify 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 drone lock-on consistency
• ATK Buffers like Warfarin or Shamare: Boost her and her drone’s base damage

When positioning Kjera, keep in mind that her talent requires melee tiles within her range. Scout your map layout and choose deployment zones that allow you to meet this condition without compromising coverage.

Kjera is a subtle powerhouse. With her gradually building drone pressure, potential for Cold debuffs, and reliable team-friendly setup, she outperforms her status as a welfare unit. Whether you're utilizing her for consistent lane control or strategic boss damage, she's equipped to deliver—particularly when strategically placed and developed.

For enhanced map control and precise drone management, consider playing Arknights on PC with BlueStacks. The improved visuals and quicker response time facilitate better positioning, skill timing, and consistent drone pressure, even in the most challenging stages.
