Honkai: Star Rail – The Herta Team Composition Guide

Mastering The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail: Build Guides and Team Compositions

The Herta, a highly anticipated 5-star character in Honkai: Star Rail, offers a unique playstyle revolving around "Interpretation" stacks. This guide explores optimal team compositions to maximize her damage potential, catering to both premium and F2P players.

Understanding The Herta's Mechanics:

The Herta's strength lies in accumulating Interpretation stacks through ally attacks. These stacks significantly amplify her damage output. Therefore, teams should prioritize frequent AoE attacks from allies. Her bonus ability, "Message From Beyond the Veil," provides an 80% Crit DMG boost to all allies if another Erudition character is present, making her particularly effective in duo-DPS setups.

Premium Team Composition: The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha

This lineup is exceptionally strong. Jade, as an ideal Erudition companion, frequently triggers follow-up attacks, synergizing perfectly with The Herta's stack generation, especially when The Herta is the Debt Collector. Lingsha provides crucial AoE follow-up attacks and healing, mitigating The Herta's HP drain. Robin's follow-up attack buffs and overall DMG boosts are invaluable, especially in challenging content. This team balances damage, support, and sustain effectively.

• 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 for synergistic stack generation. Remembrance Trailblazer provides valuable True DMG and Crit DMG buffs, while Gallagher offers reliable AoE healing and debuffing. Serval can replace the 4-star Herta, and Pela or Tingyun offer alternative support options, though their AoE contributions might be less impactful than other choices.

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