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 Honkai: Star Rail. Unlike her 4-star puppet counterpart, The Herta boasts a unique playstyle centered around "Interpretation" stacks, significantly amplifying her damage. This guide explores her optimal team compositions, focusing on maximizing stack generation and overall team synergy.

Key to The Herta's Success: Interpretation Stacks

The Herta's damage scales directly with Interpretation stacks, gained whenever an ally attacks. Therefore, teams built around frequent AoE attacks are crucial. Follow-up attacks are particularly valuable for efficient stack generation.

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

This team is considered The Herta's strongest lineup. Jade, as an ideal Erudition companion, provides frequent follow-up attacks, synergizing perfectly with The Herta's stacking mechanic. Lingsha offers essential healing and AoE follow-up attacks, mitigating The Herta's HP drain (as Debt Collector). Robin excels as a buffer, enhancing follow-up attacks and providing overall damage buffs.

• 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 leverages two Herta units for exceptional synergy. Remembrance Trailblazer provides valuable support and True DMG, while Gallagher offers consistent healing and AoE capabilities. Serval can replace one Herta, and Pela or Tingyun are viable alternatives for the Trailblazer slot, though with slightly less synergy.

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

Essential Considerations

• Message From Beyond the Veil: This bonus ability grants allies 80% Crit DMG with another Erudition character present, significantly boosting damage output.
• SP Efficiency: Prioritize SP-efficient characters to ensure consistent Skill usage for The Herta.
• AoE Attacks: Focus on allies with frequent AoE attacks, especially follow-up attacks, to maximize Interpretation stack generation.
