Honkai: Star Rail Herta Team Guide

The Herta, a familiar face to many Honkai: Star Rail players, finally arrives as a playable 5-star character. Unlike her 4-star puppet counterpart, The Herta boasts a unique playstyle centered around accumulating Interpretation stacks. These stacks, generated whenever an ally attacks, significantly boost her damage output. To maximize her potential, team compositions focusing on frequent AoE attacks from allies are crucial.

Her bonus ability, Message From Beyond the Veil, provides a substantial 80% Crit DMG buff to all allies if another Erudition character is present. This makes her particularly effective in duo DPS team compositions. Let's explore some optimal team setups.

The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha

Best Premium Team Composition

This lineup, featuring Jade, Robin, and Lingsha, maximizes The Herta's strengths. Jade, an ideal Erudition partner, frequently triggers follow-up attacks, perfectly complementing The Herta's stacking mechanic. Lingsha's AoE follow-up attacks and healing keep the team alive, counteracting The Herta's HP drain as Debt Collector. Robin provides crucial follow-up attack buffs and overall DMG boosts. Aventurine offers a strong alternative to Lingsha, though his bouncing attacks are less consistently AoE.

Team Roles

• The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
• Jade: Sub-DPS, Support
• Robin: Support, Buffer
• Lingsha: Sub-DPS, Healer, Debuffer

The Herta + Herta + Remembrance Trailblazer + Gallagher

Best F2P Team Composition

This F2P-friendly team utilizes both The Herta and her 4-star counterpart. While Herta's follow-up attacks are conditional, the two work exceptionally well together. Serval offers a strong 4-star alternative. Remembrance Trailblazer provides True DMG and Crit DMG buffs, while Pela is a solid substitute with her debuffing and AoE capabilities. Tingyun offers ATK and Energy buffs but lacks AoE synergy. Gallagher's SP-positive playstyle and AoE Ultimate provide consistent support.

Team Roles

• The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
• Herta: Sub-DPS
• Remembrance Trailblazer: Support, Sub-DPS, Buffer
• Gallagher: Healer, Debuffer
