This guide explores the optimal team compositions for The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail, a powerful 5-star Erudition character. Her gameplay revolves around maximizing "Interpretation" stacks, amplified by frequent ally attacks.
The Herta's kit significantly differs from her 4-star puppet counterpart. To maximize her damage, team compositions should prioritize allies with frequent AoE attacks, ideally follow-up attacks, for efficient stack generation. Her unique ability, "Message From Beyond the Veil," grants allies 80% Crit DMG with another Erudition character present, making her especially potent in duo-DPS setups.
Premium Team Composition: The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha
This lineup is considered The Herta's strongest. Jade, an ideal Erudition partner, provides frequent follow-up attacks, synergizing perfectly with The Herta's stacking mechanic. Lingsha offers crucial sustain, mitigating The Herta's HP drain as the "Debt Collector," while also contributing AoE follow-up attacks. Aventurine is a viable alternative, though his bouncing attacks are less consistently effective than Lingsha's AoE. Robin excels as a buffer, enhancing follow-up attacks and providing overall DMG buffs. Sunday or Ruan Mei offer viable alternatives if Robin isn't available.
- 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 both The Herta and her 4-star counterpart. While Herta's follow-up attacks are conditional (enemy HP below 50%), their combined effect on Interpretation stacks remains significant. Serval offers a viable 4-star replacement for Herta. Remembrance Trailblazer provides valuable True DMG and Crit DMG buffs, with Pela serving as a solid alternative. Tingyun is a possibility, but her lack of AoE limits her contribution to stack generation. Gallagher offers flexible support with his AoE Ultimate.
- Team Roles:
- The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
- Herta: Sub-DPS
- Remembrance Trailblazer: Support, Sub-DPS, Buffer
- Gallagher: Healer, Debuffer
