This guide provides an optimized build for Herta in Honkai: Star Rail, focusing on maximizing her damage output. We'll cover the best Light Cones, Relics, and stats to achieve optimal performance.
Herta
Ice
Erudition
5-Star
Herta, a powerful 5-Star Ice Erudition character, excels in AoE combat. Her self-buffs and damage multipliers, including a team-wide CRIT DMG boost with another Erudition unit and a personal ATK buff from her Ultimate, make her relatively easy to build effectively, even with F2P options. Her gameplay centers around Inspiration and Interpretation stacks, enhancing her Skill and Ultimate damage.

Planar Ornaments:
Herta benefits from ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. Scholar Lost in Erudition (4pc) is the best set, boosting Skill and Ultimate damage. Hunter of Glacial Forest (4pc) is a strong alternative. For Planar Ornaments, Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm provides the best overall boost, while Rutilant Arena is a solid alternative. Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation is best suited for Pure Fiction.
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)
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 (4-star) offers excellent performance for F2P players. Before Dawn and Yet Hope Is Priceless serve as good stat sticks. For newer players, the free Erudition Light Cones are viable options.
