by Herta (the kuru kuru for friends) is the first character of the Path of Erudite that we will get in Honkai Star Rail . She is a brilliant scientist who lacks empathy and the owner of the Herta Space Station, usually shown in her puppet form based on her appearance when she was young.
It stands out for being one of the characters that can perform the most additional attacks in the game, since its Talent allows each time we hit an enemy that has its PVs at 50% or less, Herta performs an additional attack that will hit all enemies. enemies on the battlefield.
He is not one of the strongest characters but he can hit many times, which can help us freeze enemies and quickly cause Weakness Breaks to enemies that are weak against the Ice element. That being said, let’s go with the complete analysis of him and with his best Builds , Artifacts, Ornaments and that kind of thing.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATS
These are the Attributes or Stats that Herta will have at the maximum level:
- HP: 952
- ATK: 582
- DEF: 396
- SPD: 100
The most significant of his stats is his SPD which isn’t bad, but his HP and DEF leave a lot to be desired unfortunately. We can say that its Base ATK is quite mediocre, but it’s not bad at all either, so in general we have fairly regular attributes .
HERTA’S ABILITIES
These are all of Herta’s Skills. The numbers/percentages are what you have at the lowest level:
BASIC ATK: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
Deal 50% Cold Damage to a single enemy of your choice.
BASIC SKILL: UNIQUE OFFERING
- Basic Skill Point Consumption: 1
Execute an area attack that damages all enemies on the field for 50% of Herta’s ATK as Cold Damage; if there is also an enemy that has half their HP or more, they will take 20% extra damage with this ability.
ULTIMATE ABILITY: IT’S MAGIC, I PUT SOME MAGIC ON IT
- Energy Cost: 110
Herta will create a giant diamond that will impact all enemies on the field, dealing a hit that deals Cold Damage equal to 120% of Herta’s ATK.
TALENT: I DO IT BETTER
If an ally’s attack reduces the enemy’s HP to 50% or less, Herta will produce an additional attack that will hit all enemies on the field for 25% of their ATK as Cold Damage (this Talent can also be activated by the Herta herself).
TECHNIQUE: YOU CAN STILL OPTIMIZE
This Technique will increase Herta’s ATK by 40% during the first three turns of a fight when activated.
ADDITIONAL SKILLS
We can unlock them in the Strokes upon reaching a certain Ascension Level.
- Ascension Level 2 – Efficiency
- The Basic Ability damage increase that occurs when an enemy has 50% of their HP or more is increased by an additional 25%.
- Ascension Tier 4 – Puppet
- +35% chance to resist negative Control states.
- Ascension Level 6 – Freeze
- +20% damage to Herta’s Ultimate for enemies affected by Freeze status effects.
EIDOLON
These are the improvements that the character obtains through the Eidolon:
- E1 – Wallowing in Your Misery : If when Herta hits an enemy with a Basic Attack it has a percentage of HP equal to or less than 50%, Herta will inflict additional Cold Damage equal to 40% of its ATK.
- E2 – Don’t Stop the Party : Herta’s CRIT Chance increases by 3% each time her Talent activates, this effect can stack up to 5 times for a total Critical Chance of 15%.
- E3 – I’m that Kind of Girl : +2 levels to Basic Ability and +1 to Basic Attack.
- E4 – Where It Hurts The Most : When Herta’s Talent activates, her damage is increased by 10%.
- E5 – Insult Big or Don’t : +2 levels to Ultimate and +2 to Talent.
- E6 – Nobody Can Betray Me : When Herta uses her Ultimate Ability, her ATK is increased by 25% for one turn.
They’re decent Eidolons . In general, each one of them is focused on increasing the damage of Herta or her abilities, but it is not that the damage difference is abysmal, nor is there any that produces a significant change for her.
HERTA’S BEST BUILD
In general we are interested in increasing her damage and she will take very good advantage of those Cones of Light that increase the damage of additional attacks (since she does them very frequently). It will also be relevant to improve his Effect Break a bit due to the large number of times he can attack thanks to his Talent.
BEST LIGHT CONES
These are the best Light Cones for Herta ordered from best to worst (they all come highly recommended anyway) and trying to add both 5-star and 4-star options. Here we will list the effects in Level 1 Overlay.
- Before Dawn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +36% CRIT Damage and +18% Basic Ability and Ultimate Ability damage. When the owner of this Cone of Light executes his Basic Ability or his Ultimate Ability he will get the « Somnus Corpus » effect, this effect will increase the damage of the next additional attack of the bearer of this Cone by 48%.
- Night in the Milky Way ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +9% ATK for each enemy on the battlefield (5 stacks max). If an enemy is affected by a Weakness Break, the damage of the bearer of this Cone of Light will be increased by 30% for 1 turn.
- The Birth of Self ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +24% damage to additional attacks. If the enemy target is at or below 50% HP, the damage of additional attacks is increased by an additional 24%.
- Genie’s Rest ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +16% to ATK. Each time the wielder of this Cone of Light kills an enemy, it will increase their CRIT Damage by 24% for 3 turns.
- The Solemnity of Breakfast ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +12% to the total damage produced by the wearer, also every time it eliminates an enemy, its ATK will increase by 4% (maximum 3 stacks).
- Let the World Cry ⭐⭐⭐⭐: When entering combat the user of this cone recovers 20 energy points and increases the damage of his Ultimate Ability by 32%.
BEST ARTIFACTS AND ORNAMENTS
We will start with the Artifacts and Ornaments. Herta is a character that can hit a large number of times with her additional attacks, which makes her a very good character to lower the strength bar of those enemies that are weak against the Ice Element. So we will make a build in which we will seek to increase the Effect Break at the same time as the damage produced by Herta.
- Torso : CRIT Chance / CRIT Damage.
- Legs : SPEED.
- Plane Sphere : Ice Damage.
- Cord of Union : Breaking Effect.
Regarding the substats:
- Prob. CRIT.
- Critical damage.
- Effect Break.
- ATK%
- SPEED
His best Artifact Set is as follows:
Glacial Forest Hunter
- 2 pieces: +10% Cold Damage.
- 4 pieces: +25% Critical Damage for 2 turns after using the Ultimate.
Your Best Set of Ornaments:
inert salsotto
- 2 pieces: +8% to CRIT Chance. When the amount of CRIT Chance of the wearer of this set of ornaments reaches 50% or more, the damage dealt by the Ultimate and Extra Attacks are increased by 15%.
Both Herta’s Ultimate Ability and her Extra Attacks are her biggest source of damage, so this set of ornaments will come in handy to increase her overall damage. Also, if we have his E2 it will be very easy to get 50% Crit Prob so that the effects of this set activate correctly.
