Honkai: Star Rail's The Herta: Comprehensive Guide
The Herta, a highly anticipated 5-star character, finally joins Honkai: Star Rail. Unlike her 4-star puppet counterpart, The Herta boasts a unique playstyle centered around "Interpretation" stacks, significantly boosting her damage output. These stacks are gained when allies attack enemies, making team composition crucial to maximizing her potential.
This guide covers build guides, level-up materials, team compositions, optimal Light Cones, and more.
Key Gameplay Mechanic: Interpretation Stacks
The Herta's power hinges on accumulating Interpretation stacks. A team focused on frequent AoE attacks, especially follow-up attacks, is vital for rapid stack generation.
Message From Beyond the Veil: Erudition Synergy
The Herta's unique ability, "Message From Beyond the Veil," grants all allies 80% increased Crit DMG if another Erudition character is present. This makes her exceptionally effective in double Erudition DPS team compositions.
Optimal Team Compositions:
Premium Team: The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha

This team excels due to its synergy with The Herta's mechanics. Jade, an ideal Erudition partner, provides frequent follow-up attacks, perfectly complementing The Herta's stack generation. Lingsha offers crucial healing and AoE follow-up attacks, while Robin's buffs significantly enhance the team's damage output.
- Team Roles:
- The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
- Jade: Sub-DPS, Support
- Robin: Support, Buffer
- Lingsha: Sub-DPS, Healer, Debuffer
F2P Team: The Herta + Herta + Remembrance Trailblazer + Gallagher

This F2P-friendly team utilizes two Herta units for optimal stack generation. Remembrance Trailblazer provides valuable True DMG and Crit DMG buffs, while Gallagher offers consistent healing and AoE support. Serval can replace one Herta, and Pela or Tingyun can substitute for the Trailblazer depending on player resources.
- Team Roles:
- The Herta: Main/Sub DPS
- Herta: Sub-DPS
- Remembrance Trailblazer: Support, Sub-DPS, Buffer
- Gallagher: Healer, Debuffer
