Mastering The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail
The Herta, a highly anticipated 5-star character in Honkai: Star Rail, offers a unique gameplay experience. Unlike her 4-star counterpart, The Herta's strength lies in maximizing "Interpretation" stacks, significantly boosting her damage output. These stacks are accumulated whenever an ally attacks enemies.
To optimize The Herta's performance, prioritize team compositions with allies capable of frequent AoE attacks, especially those with follow-up attacks. Her unique ability, "Message From Beyond the Veil," grants allies 80% Crit DMG if another Erudition character is present, making her ideal for duo DPS setups.
Below are two team compositions showcasing The Herta's potential:
Premium Team Composition: The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha
This team excels due to its synergy with The Herta's stacking mechanic. Jade, as an Erudition character, provides significant buffs and quick follow-up attacks, perfectly complementing The Herta's playstyle. Lingsha offers crucial healing and AoE follow-up attacks, mitigating The Herta's HP drain. Robin provides essential team buffs and turn advancement.
- Team Roles:
- The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
- Jade: Sub-DPS, Support
- Robin: Support, Buffer
- Lingsha: Sub-DPS, Healer, Debuffer
F2P Team Composition: The Herta + Herta + Remembrance Trailblazer + Gallagher
This F2P-friendly team utilizes two Herta units for optimal stack generation. Remembrance Trailblazer provides valuable True DMG and Crit DMG buffs, while Gallagher offers reliable healing and AoE capabilities. Serval can replace one Herta, and Pela or Tingyun offer viable alternatives for the Trailblazer slot, though with slightly less synergy.
- Team Roles:
- The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
- Herta: Sub-DPS
- Remembrance Trailblazer: Support, Sub-DPS, Buffer
- Gallagher: Healer, Debuffer
Remember to consult detailed build guides, level-up material lists, and light cone recommendations for further optimization. This guide provides a foundation for maximizing The Herta's effectiveness in Honkai: Star Rail.
