The Herta Ice Erudition 5-Star

The Herta, also known as Madam Herta, is a powerful 5-Star Ice Erudition character in Honkai: Star Rail. As an Erudition character, she excels in AoE combat but remains effective against fewer targets. Her self-buffs and damage multipliers, including a team-wide 80% CRIT DMG boost with another Erudition unit and a personal three-turn ATK buff from her Ultimate, make her relatively easy to build.

Her gameplay centers around Inspiration and Interpretation stacks. Consuming Inspiration stacks enhances her Skill, while Interpretation stacks increase the damage of her Enhanced Skill and Ultimate. This guide outlines the best build to maximize her potential.

Best The Herta Build

Planar Ornaments:

• Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm (Overall BIS)
• Rutilant Arena
• Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation (Pure Fiction BIS)

Best The Herta Relics

The Herta benefits from ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. Her Enhanced Skill and Ultimate are her primary damage sources. Scholar Lost in Erudition is the best Relic set, boosting CRIT Rate, Skill, and Ultimate damage. Hunter of Glacial Forest is a viable alternative. For newer players, any 2-piece combination of CRIT Rate, Ice DMG, or ATK% works.

Best The Herta Light Cones

Into the Unreachable Veil (her signature Light Cone) is the best option. Night on the Milky Way is a strong alternative for fights with multiple enemies. Today Is Another Peaceful Day is an excellent 4-star choice. Other viable options include An Instant Before A Gaze, Before Dawn, and Yet Hope Is Priceless. For newer players, the free Erudition Light Cones are serviceable.

Ideal Stats:

2,500-2,800 ATK (SPD Boots) / 3,000-3,400 ATK (ATK% Boots) / 3,600-3,900 ATK (ATK% Boots & Sphere) Base SPD or 134 SPD 80%-100% CRIT Rate (In Combat) 180%-200%+ CRIT DMG (w/ A4 Trace)

This guide provides a solid foundation for building The Herta. Remember that optimal stats and Relic sets may vary depending on your available resources and team composition.
