Honkai's Dream Team Unraveled: Guide to Herta's Ideal Squad

Mastering The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail

The Herta, a highly anticipated 5-star character in Honkai: Star Rail, offers a unique gameplay experience centered around stacking "Interpretation" to amplify her damage. Unlike her 4-star counterpart, The Herta's effectiveness hinges on maximizing these stacks through frequent ally attacks.

This guide explores optimal team compositions for The Herta, focusing on maximizing her damage potential and highlighting both premium and F2P options.

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

This team excels due to its synergistic interplay:

• Jade: The ideal Erudition partner. Her rapid follow-up attacks, especially when The Herta is targeted as Debt Collector, efficiently generate Interpretation stacks. Jade also provides additional buffs to The Herta.
• Robin: Provides crucial team-wide follow-up attack buffs, along with general damage boosts and turn advancement. Sunday or Ruan Mei offer viable alternatives.
• Lingsha: Offers essential healing and AoE follow-up attacks, mitigating The Herta's HP drain from Debt Collector. Aventurine is a strong shield-focused alternative, though his follow-up attack isn't as consistently AoE. Other healers like Huo Huo or Fu Xuan can also be considered.

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 readily available characters:

• Herta (4-star): A strong Erudition sub-DPS, synergizing well with The Herta's stacking mechanic. Serval offers a viable 4-star alternative with AoE capabilities.
• Remembrance Trailblazer: Provides substantial support, especially in Ice DPS scenarios. Mem's True DMG and Crit DMG buff adds significant value. Pela offers a strong debuffing alternative with AoE attacks. Tingyun, while providing ATK and Energy buffs, lacks AoE and is less synergistic.
• Gallagher: Offers flexible support with his SP-positive playstyle and AoE Ultimate. The choice here depends on available healer/sustain options.

Team Roles:

• The Herta: Main/Sub-DPS
• Herta (4-star): Sub-DPS
• Remembrance Trailblazer: Support, Sub-DPS, Buffer
• Gallagher: Healer, Debuffer

Remember to adapt these team compositions based on your available characters and the specific challenges you face. Prioritize allies with frequent AoE attacks to maximize The Herta's Interpretation stacks and unleash her full damage potential.
