"Mastering Mech-Accord Caster: Kjera Guide in Arknights"

Kjera may appear calm and composed, but don't let her serene demeanor fool you—she's a formidable 5-star Mech-Accord Caster with the power to control and eliminate enemies effectively. Introduced as the welfare Operator during the Break the Ice event, Kjera offers a distinctive style of Arts damage to the game of Arknights through her drone companion. The damage output of her drone scales up the longer it focuses on a target, making Kjera a perfect fit for teams seeking reliable, scalable ranged Arts damage.

Unlike the burst-focused Casters in Arknights, Kjera's strategy is more methodical. Her basic attacks may not be the strongest, but with her short attack interval and the drone's escalating power, she becomes increasingly dangerous as battles prolong. With optimal 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 part of the Mech-Accord branch, Kjera's attacks are synchronized with her drone, which inflicts Arts damage starting at 20% of her ATK and increasing by 15% for each consecutive hit on the same target, up to a maximum of 110%. Her quick attack rate combined with this mechanic results in sustained, high DPS, particularly against stationary or slow-moving enemies. Unlike typical acquisition methods like banners or gacha, Kjera is obtained through her guidebook, or Record Restoration.

This system encourages targeting consistency, as the longer her drone can focus on an enemy, the more devastating her damage becomes. This makes her ideally suited for tackling bosses or mini-bosses that linger within range. However, any forced retargeting resets the damage ramp-up, so strategic positioning and control are crucial.

Kjera's effectiveness is enhanced by operators who can lower enemy RES or apply Freeze, synergizing with the Cold effect from her S2 skill. Additionally, operators that boost ATK or ASPD can indirectly amplify her drone’s impact.

Recommended Synergy:

• Slowers like Angelina or Istina: Prolong Cold durations and minimize enemy escape chances.
• Freezers like Gnosis: Combine control effects for ensured 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.

When deploying Kjera, consider her positioning carefully. Her talent requires melee tiles within her range, so choose deployment zones that satisfy this condition without compromising coverage.

Kjera is a subtle powerhouse. With her drone's gradual build-up of pressure, the potential for Cold debuffs, and her seamless integration into team setups, she outperforms expectations for a welfare unit. Whether you're using her for steady lane control or precise boss damage, Kjera has the capabilities to excel—especially when strategically placed and enhanced.
