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. This guide explores optimal team compositions and strategies to maximize her potential.
Key to The Herta's Success: Interpretation Stacks
The Herta's damage scales directly with the number of Interpretation stacks she accumulates. These stacks are generated whenever an ally attacks enemies. Therefore, team compositions emphasizing frequent AoE attacks are crucial. Follow-up attacks are particularly effective for efficient stack generation.
The Herta's Bonus Ability: Message From Beyond the Veil
This ability grants all allies an 80% Crit DMG boost if at least one other Erudition character is present. This makes duo DPS compositions with another Erudition character incredibly powerful.
Premium Team Composition: The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha
This team is considered The Herta's strongest lineup. Jade, as an Erudition character, provides significant synergy, offering frequent follow-up attacks that perfectly complement The Herta's stacking mechanic. Lingsha excels as a sustain character, mitigating The Herta's HP drain from the Debt Collector mechanic, while also contributing AoE follow-up attacks. Robin provides crucial team-wide buffing, particularly enhancing follow-up attacks and overall DMG.
- 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 maximum synergy. Remembrance Trailblazer offers valuable support and True DMG, while Gallagher provides consistent healing and AoE capabilities. Serval can replace one Herta, and Pela or Tingyun are viable alternatives for the Trailblazer slot, though Tingyun offers less stack generation.
- Team Roles:
- The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
- Herta: Sub-DPS
- Remembrance Trailblazer: Support, Sub-DPS, Buffer
- Gallagher: Healer, Debuffer
