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 boasts a unique playstyle centered around "Interpretation" stacks, significantly boosting her damage output. These stacks are accumulated whenever an ally attacks. Therefore, team composition is key to maximizing her potential.
This guide explores optimal team builds, focusing on maximizing Interpretation stacks and leveraging The Herta's unique abilities.
Key to The Herta's Success: Frequent AoE Attacks
The Herta's effectiveness hinges on allies consistently generating Interpretation stacks through frequent Area-of-Effect (AoE) attacks. Follow-up attacks are particularly valuable for efficient stack generation.
Her "Message From Beyond the Veil" ability provides an 80% Crit DMG boost to all allies if another Erudition character is present. This makes her exceptionally strong in duo DPS team compositions.
Premium Team Composition: The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha
This lineup maximizes The Herta's potential. Jade, as an ideal Erudition companion, frequently triggers follow-up attacks, synergizing perfectly with The Herta's stacking mechanic. Lingsha provides crucial healing and AoE follow-up attacks, mitigating The Herta's HP drain (as Debt Collector). Robin offers essential team buffs, 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
A budget-friendly yet effective team. Using two Herta units creates a strong synergy for Interpretation stacking. Remembrance Trailblazer provides consistent damage and Crit DMG buffs. Gallagher offers reliable AoE damage and healing. Serval can replace one Herta, and Pela or Tingyun are viable alternatives for the Trailblazer slot, although with less synergy for stack generation.
- Team Roles:
- The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
- Herta: Sub-DPS
- Remembrance Trailblazer: Support, Sub-DPS, Buffer
- Gallagher: Healer, Debuffer
