The Herta is returning for Phase 2 of version 3.6 of Honkai: Star Rail. As a featured 5-star, lots of players are looking forward to pulling for her as another strong DPS. The Herta is an Ice Erudition Path character who is incredibly strong for the end-game of Honkai: Star Rail.

She performs great against multiple enemies and does well when paired with other Erudition teammates. Here’s everything you must know about building The Herta!

The Herta’s Strengths & Weaknesses

As a DPS, The Herta performs best when her build revolves around her Critical Rates and Hits. In Version 3.6, players will earn more rewards for logging into the update. Try using these rewards to save for Critical Rate-based Relics and Ornaments if you plan to pull for The Herta.

She also synergizes in Erudition teams, increasing her Attack power and team buffs even more. Looking for a boost for Honkai: Star Rail? Find a quick and easy to apply hsr top up with us today on U7BUY!

The Herta is powerful, but she isn’t the strongest Erudition out there. If you already have plenty of Erudition characters, then you can probably wait on The Herta to pull for Evernight or Flins instead. Otherwise, her Light Cone, Into the Unreachable Veil, greatly boosts her Skill damage, which makes up for her weaker base stats at the start.
