Mastering The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail
The Herta, a highly anticipated 5-star character, brings a unique playstyle to Honkai: Star Rail. Unlike her 4-star puppet counterpart, The Herta's power hinges on accumulating "Interpretation" stacks through ally attacks. This guide explores her optimal team compositions, focusing on maximizing stack generation for devastating damage.
Key to The Herta's Success: Interpretation Stacks
The Herta's damage scales directly with Interpretation stacks, gained whenever an ally attacks enemies. Prioritize team compositions with frequent AoE attacks, especially follow-up attacks, for efficient stack building.
Message From Beyond the Veil: Erudition Synergy
The Herta's unique ability, "Message From Beyond the Veil," grants all allies an 80% Crit DMG boost if another Erudition character is present. This makes her particularly strong in duo-DPS Erudition teams.
Premium Team Composition: The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha
This lineup maximizes The Herta's potential. Jade, as an ideal Erudition partner, rapidly generates stacks with her quick follow-up attacks, especially when The Herta is the "Debt Collector" target. Lingsha provides crucial AoE follow-up attacks and healing, offsetting The Herta's HP drain. Robin excels as a buffer, boosting 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 budget-friendly team leverages two Herta units for synergistic stack generation. Remembrance Trailblazer contributes True DMG and Crit DMG buffs, while Gallagher provides consistent AoE damage and healing. Serval can replace one Herta, and Pela or Tingyun offer alternative support options.
- Team Roles:
- The Herta: Main/Sub-DPS
- Herta: Sub-DPS
- Remembrance Trailblazer: Support, Sub-DPS, Buffer
- Gallagher: Healer, Debuffer
