Kjera might appear calm and composed, but don't let her demeanor deceive you—she's a formidable 5-star Mech-Accord Caster capable of locking down and eliminating enemies with remarkable control. Introduced as the welfare Operator during the Break the Ice event, Kjera brings a unique style of Arts damage to Arknights through her drone companion, which scales damage the longer it focuses on a target. She combines consistent DPS with crowd-control elements, making her a perfect fit for teams seeking safe, scalable ranged Arts output.

Unlike burst-focused Casters in this strategic game, Kjera’s approach is more methodical. Her basic attacks may not be the most potent initially, but thanks to a short attack interval and the ramping power of her drone, she becomes increasingly dangerous as battles prolong. With the right setup, she can rival 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 belongs to the Mech-Accord branch, meaning she attacks in tandem with a drone. This drone deals Arts damage that starts at 20% of her ATK and increases by 15% with each consecutive hit on the same target, up to a maximum of 110%. Combined with her fast attack rate, this mechanic delivers impressive sustained DPS, particularly against stationary or slow-moving enemies. Unlike banners or gacha, Kjera is obtained through her guidebook, or Record Restoration.

This system rewards targeting consistency. The longer her drone can focus on one enemy, the better her damage becomes. It makes her a natural fit for bosses or mini-bosses that stay within range for extended periods. However, be aware that any forced retargeting will reset the ramp-up, so careful positioning and control are crucial.

She also benefits from operators who lower enemy RES or apply Freeze, as they synergize well with the Cold effect from 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 drone lock-on consistency
• ATK Buffers like Warfarin or Shamare: Boost her and her drone’s base damage

Be mindful of where you place Kjera. Her talent requires melee tiles within her range, so scout your map layout and select deployment zones that meet this condition without sacrificing coverage.

Kjera is a quiet powerhouse. With her slow-building drone pressure, Cold debuff potential, and reliable team-friendly setup, she delivers far more than expected for a welfare unit. Whether you're using her for consistent lane control or strategic boss damage, she has the tools to excel—especially 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 time make it easier to position her correctly, time your skills, and maintain steady drone pressure through even the most challenging stages.
