Best DPS or just average? The Herta Kit explained | Honkai Star Rail

[@bunnywifalaptop3684]

Her animations are so cool so it doesn't really matter to me if she's good, and I need a good aoe dps for pure fiction anyways

[@Valbertoog]

I feel the exact same way! Having a boothill in the second half of pure fiction is a real pain lol

[@screamaskzxyers]

@@Valbertoog aint no way bruh lmao

[@chromiiayt3044]

Same here. I’ve been relying on Himeko & little Herta with no limited Erudition characters

[@Truck-kun11]

Hmm, it looks like she's going to be a very flexible character since all she needs is allies that have a high attack frequency and at least one Erudition character. I just hope she doesn't get stuck in PF after her favoritism period ends and all the game modes stop being hand-crafted for her.

[@MyLadyLuna]

She's a sub dps for feixiao march 7th robin comp 🗣🗣🗣

[@thatalbeeguy]

this is will be my only character for who I will go for eidolons and signature (f2p) in all hoyo games and I've been here for more than 3 years. For reference I only got one signature weapon and it was acheron. Favourite character in all media from 1.0, now this is just perfect. I even got jade specifically for her 4* version so the fact that she is BiS for her is just perfect. I love her kit and animations so much man. Good luck to everyone going for her as well!!

[@rust5427]

I don't care if she's good or not, what matters is her technique. Locating chest will be so easy with her. This is primarily why i pulled for acheron before, cause she just made everything so easy with her insta-kill

[@UnusualDeathCause]

Cheers m8, an actual explanation. So sick of fuckers just copypasting leaked kit into TTS and calling it a "HERTA GUIDE"

[@MemberOfGeniusSociety]

Looking at her kit she seems will do well outside PF with a correct team mates

[@henriquefernandes3510]

When you say Herta's Kit I can only hear "Eartha Kitt" and that's beautiul.

[@leestefan2999]

I would love to try out double Herta team comp if it's possible. Likewise, double Tingyun once Fugue is out 😊

[@aperson6562]

I really want her, but I don’t have jade or lingsha, guess this is one of those things I’ll just have to postpone to the future😔

[@Valbertoog]

You dont need Jade you can just use tiny herta instead, also Screwllum is definitely a erudition character so he could be a better choice when he comes out. And if you have Aventurine then you really dont need Ling Sha at all

[@geneelych]

​@@Valbertoogis she still okay if i dont have robin? i dont have any five stars as i am just a new player 😅

[@killerking2346]

​@@geneelychgrab the free Bronya give her her advance + crit bonus

[@Valbertoog]

@@geneelych I think Robin is her best in slot but you dont NEED her at all, any harmony character will do. Sunday is on banner now and he is the strongest Harmony character in the game so you might wanna go for him, or you can use Bronya if you have her, if you dont then Tingyun is a good option as well!

[@melodia_rysto]

We should also keep in mind that while Jade is her best teammate, she'll be more likely to get another partner in the future, since she's a 3.X character. If you like her a lot, pull her and get her supports in the future!

[@drakehound2244]

People really have a hard time understanding Characters and Game mechanics it seems, The Herta starts off with GOOD DPS, but she is scalling dps, meaning the longer the fight last the more damage she does. she is the OP character FPS need badly. and she isn't bound by any team, like Lingsha. (yes she works terrific in Break teams, but in the end she is a offensive healer so can fit anyplace with relic and lightcone tweaks). so if you are having DPS problems. then The Herta is a must pull. if you are not having any issue. she still is a must pull cause the way her kit works and combination works. anybody missing The Herta is silly, yes Algaea looks much prettier and is new path, but if you can't afford more then 1 as F2P then The herta is a must have. While Algaea needs a lot more combination characters to achieve her full potential. the rest just going to whale for both.

[@TsuchiGamer06]

1. The Herta 2. Jade or Mini Herta 3. Rememberance MC or Robin 4. Lingsha, Aventurine or Huohuo For anyone wondering about her teams

[@leoerus]

Why rememberance MC?

[@spl3013]

@@leoerusI’m wondering that as well

[@xXzman9000Xx]

@@leoerus action advance and a decent amount of aoe in kit, and extra damage like robin but it scales off of the attackers damage

[@leoerus]

@@xXzman9000Xx thank you for explaining

[@Bassman0721]

So...its best with 2 erudition units? Or the BIS will be 1 erudition+robin?

[@radiusx89]

you only need 1 Erudition unit + THE HERTA (Jade/4* Herta are best but you can try Himeko as well)

[@1987jjl]

For a standard setup I think Herta, Jade, Robin and crit Lingsha (Luocha LC) would work. Put the debt collector on Lingsha. Lingsha/Jade combo will battery both Robin and Herta. All three "erudition" units will deal pretty nice damage since Herta's 80% bonus crit damage applies to everyone. Lingsha/Jade chip away at the enemies and Herta comes in at the end with a massive burst.

[@aitamasanada72]

all i know Dps bound to Dead fast unlike Support, Hanabi case just special 😅 becouse he called Sunday Chickenbois.. turn out he Holiday! aka Better version with 💯 what support we want and need and + sp positive. Im just going Eyeing and see how good Agelea Final beta version if she still having the same kit.. im probably going for Limited pull "remembrance"..if i lost 50/50 im just gonna be patient again like i did with Aventurine and pull for Guarantee "Kevin".

[@xyippee]

i dont really get the recent tendency to give units insanely high ultimate costs🤔 it just makes teams/builds more restrictive. using an err rope is practically not an option because you lose out on something more useful, so you’re just locked into playing an energy team (huohuo/sunday/tingyun). it’s very weird when hsr doesn’t have a lot of battery mechanics like genshin.

[@xDidddle]

I really REALLY hope ruan mei doesn't return in 3.0. i think i will have enough jades for at 3 characters in patch 3.0. At the very least the other 3.0 characters don't interest me this much so ill have no problem using up all my jades if needed.

[@Fl3cheF]

No one could ever convince me that Herta is bad, gorgeous animation, straight up best character in the game, the only one who talks to aeons, her kit is awesome, miss thing got a keyblade, she really is THAT girl

[@c.c.0396]

i mean i am pulling to the herta regardless if she's bad or good (she's good) but you shouldn't be having that mentality every pull cuz i can see ur the type that will probably complain later with the powercreeping and yet pulls with no brain power involved.. all im saying, girl- use rationality in pulling unless u actually can hold urself accountable and say u wont be yapping later on then keep pulling for whoever

[@Fl3cheF]

@ I think you might have misunderstood me there, im also pulling Herta regardless of if she’s good or not(what i was saying is even if she isn’t good, her look/animation/personality is the only thing that maker her a must pull for me), i like her character and i thought that was clearly, i ONLY pull for character i like (except ruan mei which I got on accident) but you are def projecting, I have never cared about power creeping (im a QQ main) so idk where you got I was the type to complain about powercreep, seems more like projection yo me So i am being rational when I say I’m pulling Herta because she’s that girl and that is all I need to want her on my account Maybe next time don’t go accusing ppl of thing you have no idea if they do or not

[@benzleilaurencedeasis6085]

man im broke af-

[@mejkun8571]

She's amazing but only in pure fiction she might perform well in other game modes but still there's better options so I think Agalea looks way better

[@sagefromonline]

should i still pull for her if i dont have jade?? i was thinking i could pair her with himeko huo huo and tingyun(for energy)

[@Truck-kun11]

While Jade seens like the best in slot for her at the moment i think we will get more Erudition characters in the future that can work well with Big Herta

herta felt disappointing animation and kit wise. her animations are so mid and just covered all of it with glitters but so unremarkable. the only good sequence is that hair flip thing she does

[@andyeric8855]

how is she erudition but attacking 3 enemies for most of her attacks hoyo please 😫

[@naw613]

She is not. Her skills are written super weird but it’s basically a cascading attack. Single target -> blast -> full AOE but all in one attack/turn

[@JMike-bq6rl]

Me looking at Fugue being a Nihility unit, who barely even applies any Debuffs herself.
