Mastering The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail

The Herta, a highly anticipated 5-star character, finally joins the Honkai: Star Rail roster. Unlike her 4-star puppet counterpart, The Herta's gameplay centers around accumulating "Interpretation" stacks, significantly boosting her damage output. These stacks are gained when allies attack enemies.

To maximize The Herta's potential, build a team that consistently generates these stacks through frequent AoE attacks, ideally from follow-up attacks. Her unique ability, "Message From Beyond the Veil," provides an 80% Crit DMG boost to all allies if another Erudition character is present, making her particularly effective in duo DPS compositions.

Here are two team compositions showcasing The Herta's versatility:

Premium Team Composition: The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha

This team is optimized for maximum synergy. Jade, as an Erudition character, perfectly complements The Herta, providing frequent follow-up attacks that rapidly build Interpretation stacks. Lingsha offers crucial healing and AoE follow-up attacks, mitigating The Herta's HP drain (as Debt Collector). Robin excels as a buffer, enhancing follow-up attacks and overall damage.

• 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 offers consistent damage and Crit DMG buffs. Gallagher provides reliable AoE damage and healing. Serval can replace one Herta, and Pela or Tingyun are viable alternatives for Trailblazer, though less synergistic.

• Team Roles:
  • The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
  • Herta: Sub-DPS
  • Remembrance Trailblazer: Support, Sub-DPS, Buffer
  • Gallagher: Healer, Debuffer

Remember to optimize your Light Cones and level-up materials for maximum effectiveness. This guide provides a solid foundation for utilizing The Herta's unique abilities.
