Introduction

Is Kjera good?

Kjera fights alongside a Drone that ramps its damage up the longer it stays on the same target, eventually dealing well over double its starting output, which offsets her own unusually low ATK. Unrestrained Heart adds a second Drone and lets both lock onto a target and keep chasing it even outside her attack range until it dies, which is great for wearing down bosses while she attacks something else.

The Drones start weak, though, and need sustained focus fire to pay off, and the Cold effect from Unrestrained Heart doesn't proc often enough to count on.

Strengths

  • Drone's damage scales up the longer it stays on one target
  • Unrestrained Heart adds a second Drone that can chase a target outside her range
  • Faster base attack interval than other Casters
  • Free and easy to potential up as a welfare operator

Weaknesses

  • Very low personal ATK
  • Drones deal little damage until they've been hitting the same target for a while
  • Drone lock-on from Unrestrained Heart is awkward to use well
  • Cold effect proc chance is too low to rely on

Background

FUN-Y: To Her, there returned a distant and long-lost feeling.

And the air flowed, and flowed together into wind.

And wind came forth in great gusts, and rolled over Her shoulders and Her back, and through the interstices of Her fingers, howling as it did.

To the people of Kjerag, this wind would be felt a colder one.

Then wind's howls turned to chaos, its tight shrieks ushered to fray by words of somnolence, as a song rent and shattered over a million risings and settings of the sun and flew about Her forever.

So the chatter grew and grew in the air, till it reached out with a black thorn.

And a black raindrop hung upon the thorn's tip, and it seemed that it would fall to the land, and fall betwixt the mountains and the trees, and see that the mountains and the trees would become of its likeness.

It was cacophony, and it was infinitely hostile, and it heeded no disobedience.

This was Danger.

So She thought to stir, as She had always done, yet She found it now took considerable energy, which it had not done before.

Thereupon She forged into the snow of a million suns, and She sought as if seeking the tail of a threadmade cloth, and about Her finger wound a tail of this thread.

And so the air changed in its flow, and the snow flew to the air by Her will, and thus was woven a curtain of it.

And She put this curtain to the black rain, and drove it from the land at Her feet, in the manner She had done countless times before.

"Kjarr? Kjarr? "

Through the curtain of wind and snow, a soft calling breaks, and reaches her ears again.

Kjarr snaps out of her brief daze, half-woven cloth nestled in her lap.

She finds her needle still in one hand, yet the tail of her thread fallen from the other, back into the pile.

"I'm sorry, Saintess, I believe my mind wandered.

This is her third day learning weaving from the Saintess.

The chamber of the Vine-Bead Court they're in is hung with tapestries woven by Enya's own hand.

For Enya, pursuing textiles is just another part of her spiritual devotions.

"Oh. . . I see. Perhaps I'm teaching a little too fast for you?

Sat face to face with Kjarr, there is absolutely no blame in Enya's words, her face almost twisted with humble apology.

She holds her own needle and wound thread, with a cloth much like Kjarr's draped over the crook of her arm, but hers is far more complete, it seems, far more beautiful.

"I wouldn't say that. Certainly easier to follow than your recitations of the scriptures.

Hearing that, Enya smiles as she reaches into the wool pile, picks out the loose tail, and hands it back to Kjarr.

"And yet I hardly leave you so lost in thought when I recite.

Kjarr takes the tail, the warmth of Enya's intent lingering at her fingertips.

She'll be finishing this cloth.

"It strikes me, Saintess, that your stitch, and Her stitch of the blizzard, might in some ways be not so different.

And the blizzard whips up outside the window, almost hard enough to stir the tapestries inside.

To her, there returns a close and longed-for feeling.
