Operator Overview
“I... I really did it? I managed to protect everyone by myself?”
Blacksteel’s young and talented Operator and Liskarm's trainee, Jessica now serves under Rhodes Island as part of an exchange program. Jessica may look timid and insecure, but on the battlefield, she’s a powerful asset as she specializes in DPS, Survival, and taking down airborne units.
Despite her insecurities, Jessica can be very useful in battle with her assortment of skills. Her first skill, Power Strike β, allows her to fire a powered-up shot every few attacks. This skill’s low SP cost and high damage multiplier allows Jessica to effectively deliver sustained damage. Her second skill, Smokescreen, increases her damage and grants herself 75% Physical and Arts evasion, useful in stages where ranged units are exposed to enemy attacks.
Jessica is a free unit obtained by clearing stage TR-3. Her biggest drawback is that Kroos, a 3 Star Sniper, has higher damage at E1 Promotion levels, and higher rarity Snipers end up being better in the long-run, and so are better E2 candidates. That being said, even before promotion to E2, Jessica can contribute solid sustained DPS with her Skill 1, and at least 2 developed ST Snipers are needed for early-game content, making her a great starter Sniper. And besides, if you don't develop her, and leave her on the sidelines, that will make Jessica sad. Do you want to make Jessica sad?
Newbie Tier List Explanation
Free upon completing stage TR-3. Her damage return on investment doesn't rise as quickly as Kroos.

Note: This unit does not have Mastery grades. This means the unit is generally not one worth spending the resources of Mastery on. However this write-up should help with skill selection, should you want to use the unit regardless.
Pretty much everyone will have raised and used Jessica at some point. Like most 4★s, it isn't necessary to raise her beyond E1. Despite the lower costs of her rarity, the benefits just aren't there for the role she serves. However, Jessica is a popular character and has two pretty decent skills for Mastery consideration, should you want to push her forward. Her S1 is the more consistent option, with a very nice boost at M3. On the other hand, her S2 is more unique, and lets her play deeper into high risk situations (with some luck) and Mastery brings some solid improvements to both her damage and cycle time.

Increase Trust to 50.A panicky Operator dispatched from Blacksteel, Jessica is a reliable, combat-effective asset and full-time Blacksteel mercenary. But she suffers from such crippling insecurity that Vanilla, a Blacksteel apprentice, seems more dependable in battle.
Archive File 2
Increase Trust to 100.Perhaps thanks to her timidity, Blacksteel executives would often scoop Jessica up and subject her to tests of new equipment and devices. Even after arriving at Rhodes Island, Operators would ask Jessica to demonstrate their new equipment before they'd be willing to use it.
In a way, it shows how naturally trustworthy Jessica is.

Archive File 3
Increase Trust to 200.A part of Jessica's insecurity stems from selective perception.
In actuality, Jessica has the skills to hold at least the middle rank in an organization of any scale. In her time with Blacksteel as well as Rhodes Island, there has never been a blemish on her record.

| Appointed as Assistant | I-Is there anything I can help with? Just say the word and I can do it. |
|---|---|
| Talk 1 | Franka and Liskarm are so incredible! I really admire them. I want to become as great as they are someday. I can... I can do it! Will you help me, Doctor? |
| Talk 2 | Um, I heard word that Vanilla's here too? She was in my squad when she first joined Blacksteel. We went on missions together! She's become such a reliable Operator now... but I'm still just me... |
| Talk 3 | Dr. {@nickname}, do I come off as... spineless? I know I shouldn't let people walk all over me... I'm trying to change... |
| Talk after Promotion 1 | Sometimes I feel like I'm back in Blacksteel, even after going through so much with Rhodes Island. I'm not the old me anymore, either... it's weird. Is it because I miss how it was back then? No, no. I don't miss the person I used to be, I know that for sure... |
| Talk after Promotion 2 | Hard work doesn't mean anything without results. That's what I think at least! That's why I don't want anyone to see me training alone. Having you, though... it's really comforting when you're with me, for some reason. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 1 | I pulled a muscle training a couple days ago... but don't worry, I-I'm okay! Urk...! I won't let this get in the way of you or anyone at Rhodes Island, Doctor! |
| Talk after Trust Increase 2 | Freeze, hands in the air! Oh, did I scare you? I'm sorry, it's just Franka told me to be bold and assertive, and I only wanted to try it out... I'm really sorry... |
| Talk after Trust Increase 3 | Everyone at Blacksteel and Rhodes Island is so amazing and talented. I know I'm nothing compared to them... but, still, just every once in a while, I really like it when I get compliments... |
| Idle | Doctor... Doctor? Are you sleeping? I'll clean your desk up for you, then... |
| Onboard | Um, are you Dr. {@nickname}? Nice to meet you. I'm Jessica from Blacksteel Worldwide. Sorry... I'm really bad at introducing myself... |
| Watching Battle Record | This seems a lot more effective than training by myself. |
| Promotion 1 | Doctor... I'm... I'm so happy you're honoring me... Just... let me cry it out for a bit, I'll be fine... |
| Promotion 2 | Ah, Doctor, does this mean you think I'm a great Operator? Thank you so much for all your help. You were by my side all the way...! |
| Added to Squad | Just give your orders and I'll carry them out! |
| Appointed as Squad Leader | I won't let you down! |
| Depart | Stay focused... look straight ahead. |
| Begin Operation | I'll definitely prove myself this time! |
| Selecting Operator 1 | Standing by... |
| Selecting Operator 2 | Haah? |
| Deployment 1 | Ughh... |
| Deployment 2 | All right... |
| In Battle 1 | Y- you'll pay for that! |
| In Battle 2 | Freeze! |
| In Battle 3 | Not one step backward. |
| In Battle 4 | I'll show them what I can do! |
| 4-star Result | I'm going to climb to the top of the mountain. I won't stop halfway! |
| 3-star Result | I... I really did it? I managed to protect everyone by myself? |
| Sub 3-star Result | I could do better. I can't get complacent just because we won! |
| Operation Failure | Requesting medevac! I dragged everyone down... it's all my fault! Sorry! I'm sorry! |
| Assigned to Facility | I wonder if the people at Rhodes Island are nice...? |
| Tap | Where are we going...? |
| Trust Tap | I can do a little cooking... |
| Title | Arknights. |
| Greeting | Good morning, doctor... |

Description:
Aim at the flying target, control your Originium Arts and fire, and drop smoke to protect yourself, just like all the drills she participated in at Blacksteel. Jessica is always especially nervous before sorties, but her colleagues know that she will do everything just fine during the mission.
