Honkai: Star Rail – The Herta Team Composition Guide

Mastering The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail

The Herta, a highly anticipated 5-star character, finally arrives in Honkai: Star Rail. Unlike her 4-star puppet counterpart, The Herta boasts a unique playstyle centered around "Interpretation" stacks. These stacks significantly boost her damage output, making team composition crucial to her success. This guide explores optimal team builds, focusing on maximizing stack generation and synergy.

Key to The Herta's Success: Interpretation Stacks

The Herta's damage scales directly with the number of Interpretation stacks she accumulates. These stacks are gained whenever an ally attacks enemies. Therefore, teams should prioritize allies with frequent AoE attacks, ideally follow-up attacks, for efficient stack generation.

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

This lineup maximizes The Herta's potential. Jade, an ideal Erudition companion, provides frequent follow-up attacks, synergizing perfectly with The Herta's stacking mechanic. Lingsha offers crucial AoE healing and follow-up attacks, mitigating The Herta's HP drain as the "Debt Collector." Robin's follow-up attack buffs and overall DMG boosts are invaluable, especially in challenging content. This team excels in both damage and survivability.

• 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. While Herta's follow-up attacks are conditional (enemy HP below 50%), the synergy remains strong. Remembrance Trailblazer provides valuable True DMG and Crit DMG buffs, while Gallagher offers reliable AoE healing and debuffs. Serval can replace Herta, and Pela or Tingyun offer alternative support options.

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