Honkai: Star Rail – The Herta Team Composition Guide

Mastering The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail

The Herta, a highly anticipated 5-star character, finally joins the Honkai: Star Rail roster. Unlike her 4-star puppet counterpart, The Herta's gameplay revolves around maximizing "Interpretation" stacks, significantly boosting her damage output. These stacks are gained when allies attack enemies, making team composition crucial to her success.

This guide explores optimal team builds for The Herta, catering to both premium and F2P players.

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

This lineup maximizes The Herta's potential. Jade, an ideal Erudition companion, frequently triggers follow-up attacks, perfectly complementing The Herta's stacking mechanic. Lingsha provides essential healing and AoE follow-up attacks, mitigating The Herta's HP drain as the Debt Collector. Robin enhances follow-up attacks and offers crucial DMG buffs, optimizing team turn efficiency.

• 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 budget-friendly team utilizes two Herta units for synergistic stack generation. Remembrance Trailblazer offers valuable True DMG and Crit DMG buffs, while Gallagher provides consistent AoE support and healing. Serval can replace one Herta, and Pela or Tingyun offer alternative support options, though with less synergy for stack generation.

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

Key Considerations for The Herta:

• AoE Attacks: Prioritize allies with frequent AoE attacks to rapidly build Interpretation stacks.
• Erudition Synergy: The Herta's bonus ability significantly boosts Crit DMG for all allies with another Erudition character present.
• SP Efficiency: Select allies with SP-positive playstyles to ensure consistent Skill usage.
• Sustain: The Herta's role as Debt Collector necessitates a reliable healer or sustain character.

This guide provides a strong foundation for utilizing The Herta's unique abilities. Experiment with different team compositions to discover your optimal strategy!
