Mastering Mech-Accord Caster: Kjera Guide in Arknights

Kjera may appear calm and collected, but don't let her serene demeanor fool you—she's a formidable 5-star Mech-Accord Caster in Arknights, capable of controlling and eliminating enemies with surprising efficiency. Introduced as the welfare Operator during the Break the Ice event, Kjera brings a unique flavor of Arts damage to the game through her drone companion, which scales its damage the longer it focuses on a target. Her approach combines steady DPS with crowd-control elements, making her a valuable asset for teams seeking reliable, scalable ranged Arts output.

Unlike burst-focused Casters, Kjera's method is more deliberate. Her basic attacks may not pack the most punch, but with a short attack interval and the escalating power of her drone, she grows increasingly dangerous as battles prolong. With the proper setup, she can compete with 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 a member of the Mech-Accord branch, Kjera attacks alongside a drone that inflicts Arts damage. This damage starts at 20% of her ATK and increases by 15% with each consecutive hit on the same target, reaching a maximum of 110%. Coupled with her rapid attack rate, this feature ensures impressive sustained DPS, particularly against stationary or slow-moving foes. Importantly, Kjera is obtained not through banners or gacha but via her guidebook, or Record Restoration.

This system rewards targeting consistency; the longer her drone can focus on a single enemy, the more potent her damage becomes. This makes her ideal for tackling bosses or mini-bosses that remain in range for extended periods. However, be cautious—any forced retargeting will reset the ramp-up, necessitating careful positioning and control.

Kjera thrives alongside operators who reduce enemy RES or apply Freeze, enhancing the Cold effect from her S2 skill. Additionally, those who boost ATK or ASPD can amplify her drone’s effectiveness indirectly.

Recommended Synergy:

• Slowers like Angelina or Istina: Extend Cold durations and minimize escape chances.
• Freezers like Gnosis: Stack control effects for ensured freezes.
• Tanky Defenders like Saria: Keep enemies pinned for consistent drone lock-on.
• ATK Buffers like Warfarin or Shamare: Enhance her and her drone's base damage.

When placing Kjera, consider her talent's requirement for melee tiles within her range. Scout your map layout and choose deployment zones that fulfill this condition without compromising coverage.

Kjera is a silent force to be reckoned with. Her gradually intensifying drone pressure, potential for Cold debuffs, and reliable team-friendly setup allow her to outperform expectations for a welfare unit. Whether you're leveraging her for consistent lane control or strategic boss damage, she has the tools to excel—especially when positioned and supported wisely.

For enhanced map control and precise drone management, consider playing Arknights on PC with BlueStacks. The improved visuals and swift response time facilitate accurate positioning, timely skill activation, and steady drone pressure, even on the most challenging stages.
