Honkai: Star Rail - Essential Guide to Composing a Herta Team

Mastering The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail

The Herta, a highly anticipated 5-star character, finally arrives in Honkai: Star Rail. Unlike her 4-star puppet counterpart, The Herta boasts a unique gameplay style centered around "Interpretation" stacks. These stacks, gained when allies attack, significantly boost her damage. This guide explores optimal team compositions to maximize her potential.

Key to The Herta's Success: Stacking Interpretation

The Herta's effectiveness hinges on consistently generating Interpretation stacks. Team compositions should prioritize allies with frequent AoE attacks, especially follow-up attacks, for efficient stack generation.

Herta's Bonus Ability: Message From Beyond the Veil

Crucially, The Herta's bonus ability provides an 80% Crit DMG boost to all allies if another Erudition character is present. This makes her particularly strong in duo DPS team setups.

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

This lineup is considered The Herta's strongest. Jade, as an ideal Erudition partner, rapidly generates stacks with her follow-up attacks, especially when The Herta is targeted as Debt Collector. Lingsha provides crucial AoE follow-up attacks and essential healing, mitigating The Herta's HP drain. Robin offers substantial team-wide buffs to follow-up attacks and overall damage, enhancing turn efficiency.

• 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 leverages two Herta units for synergistic stack generation. Remembrance Trailblazer's True DMG and Crit DMG buffs add significant utility, while Gallagher provides consistent AoE support 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
