what happened with Herta? (Honkai: Star Rail)

[@raphael8574]

theory: the pure fiction bird is actually a curio that Herta released in the Xianzhou, so she could rise to the S+ tier.

[@northmoth]

That sounds like something she would do

[@poosypumpkin]

her and himeko prolly worked on that bird too😭

[@_LunaticMoon]

Herta: Me? Being Useless? Nuh uh. *makes pure fiction*

[@cannibalman8175]

I'd love to see this become canon lmao

[@onlygames1144]

​@@poosypumpkin including theory about polka is himeko makes sense

[@Based_Enjoyer]

Herta probably had the biggest comeback in HSR History

Wish Yanqing can do the same

Yeah both her and Himeko Shot up the rankings overnight. I am glad tho.

[@nacereddinechallal4405]

Same because i love Himeko since the strat and i got her with my selector even b4 the new content . Now i can use her

[@ItzaMystri]

Me too, it's so fun using them so I really love it.

[@Crowned_Hearts]

@@nacereddinechallal4405 bro I havent even unlocked the selector yet what yall doin spending crystals on the standart banner? 🥲

[@marupurusaivamsi4802]

She said it's kuru kuru time and kurukured all over the enemies.😂

[@dazzle810]

Herta was my first favorite and I used her for majority of belobog just loved her design especially her hair and hat, my built hetya came in handy and I was really happy with the new gamemode

[@TripleLLe]

Bro same She was the reason why I played this game lol For herta! Lol

[@jadecirrus]

ME TOO i literally rebuilt her repeatedly in order to improve her build

[@kikilocket]

1:05 only her E0-E4 is free. E5 and 6 are obtained through gacha.

[@mllamo_alex]

Ye

[@BenziLZK]

but eventually, more and more simU world get released, we can get more of her copies

[@mozzapple]

Pure Fiction is some of the only content that encourages building characters who specialize in dealing repeated AoE damage. Most content wants characters that specialize in focused damage, like single target or blast, because most of the time your main focus is one big enemy and occasionally a couple smaller enemies with it that die quickly

[@Naz-jc5tp]

I’m so pissed they’re changing pure fiction and nerfing her in it as a result. We’re getting less fodder enemies and more elites. Feels bad man.

[@xRuiNga]

When?

[@JimmyDoyel-by2cp]

Well this is a hunt patch for sure, my Dr. Ratio and Topas were rocking in pure fiction, so good.

[@mehmetenescetin2182]

​​@@xRuiNganext Pf.That change generally affects Wave 3 tho so its probably for making 40k more challenging and also making hard hitting units some chance to shine.

[@xRuiNga]

@@mehmetenescetin2182 I mean it still is a good change I feel, so that brings the need to bring a carry unit with your aoe support. As of rn it is extremely easy. Plus I’m sure the final wave will still have adds constantly spawning with the 2 elites so I don’t think it’s going to affect the erudition carries that much.

[@mehmetenescetin2182]

@@xRuiNga Theres Also increase in Hp for both fodders and elites.I also agree with it being too easy.Eru units wont be challenged by it anyways but This change is a postive one for Eru unit that hits hard in one time but not a lot Like JY for example.If PF stayed like that Eru unit design would be limited a lot.For that reason i find this change positive for Game itself.

[@Hertamain]

Been a Herta main since release, feels good.

[@cherriiy]

REAL, HERTA MAINS RISE!!

[@Kirii_ii]

I’ve been playing hsr since launch and Herta has always been my favorite character and I remember looking at all the tier lists and her always being super low and sometimes at the very bottom tier and if not that then the second worst, I was really sad that she was always being called one of and sometimes the worst hsr character but i still used her as my main dps for every fight and I still do today and I’m so happy that now Herta is a lot higher and is considered good

[@Akaishu294]

You forgot something tho... KURURIIIN!!!

[@cherriiy]

proud to say that i've been a herta lover since beta and herta main since the game's release, everyone called her the worst character in game and i didn't care because i always loved her, with jing yuan's light cone she obliterates EVERYTHING🔥🔥🔥

[@phunghieu7093]

She's just luckily perfect for the new end game content unlike genshin where damage is everything, Xiao's Big AOE can never compete with others in the current content(Xiao main perspective)

[@leblancattire5951]

xiao can reach 100k+ with the help of xianyun and faruzan.. 150k+ with furina

[@phunghieu7093]

@@leblancattire5951 that's my 3 years built Xiao, but the results after farming for his artifact domains 180 times+(literally) and pull every single support that benefit him. Nahida with C0 Kuki and 2 hydro characters can easily out DPS him and so easier to secure whether it's boss or AOE meanwhile the some bosses just stand up and go immunity after Xiao 10 sec rotation

[@_LunaticMoon]

I love how he kept sneaking in Kuru Kuru every minute of the video

[@CarelessChalant]

Much like I thought of her ever being meta? Pure fiction.

[@BocchiTheBox]

Herta was always one of my favorite characters, which I know I'm not the only fan she has she's been memed since Beta and was the first character to get merch. It's so cool to see her rise to fame from being a meme. Feels good to see a character you've been using the whole time suddenly rise to popularity.

[@planetary-rendez-vous]

I'm building her again when I can complete MoC. A luxury unit for sure, though she clears full fiction for me.

[@gamingforfun4435]

Yanqing looking at herta going from d to S while he is stuck at F tier 😭

[@noga5008]

Two words: pure fiction

[@blackswanxkafkatruther]

character development fr

[@TripleLLe]

I've been an herta main since I played hsr for the first time. Not because of the looks, it because of her follow up attack and her voice line everytime it triggers it "Kururing" "Kuru ruru" She was the first character that I've build first before other 5 star character. I'm so happy that she got popular because of the permanent mode lol Yippee!

[@Bill-uk6of]

I think pure fiction is a success of an end game because it requires completely different dps characters and it makes some characters from niece or bad to god tier and above, argenti , himeko and herta were perfect examples these characters in MOC and the newest game mode apocalyptic shadow are the bad but in PF they are the reason you clear that game mode in the first place .

[@Amethyst.i]

I loved using her at first but stopped using her in favor of other characters later on, so glad she’s good again :)

[@reznyan]

idk, but like herta is the only character taht who is fully traced on my acc, i did it even before pure fiction was a thing

[@sjaakbakker9944]

Say it with me, kuru kuru!

[@jonathanrobinson198]

And now there’s Sparkle, who sets up a really funny situation for insanely good follow up attacks.

[@ryldmeh251]

I always believed in Herta, she made fighting the ebon deer and IPC team manager so easy. people are only just now realizing how helpful she truly is.

[@Idknlandwh123]

idc what they're saying, she's in my main team since 26.04.2023 I'm talking about the team with limit of 4 characters

[@knmrt2760]

After dodging building her ever since Pure Fiction was released, the most recent rotation forced my hand... They got me into the kurukuru madness...

[@Yawar25]

The true "Zero to Hero" I've love Herta's personality and I will pull for a 5 Star version for her. But she help me a lot with Himeko in Pure Fiction

[@kolixq]

i remember googling wether herta was worth building or not, only to be met with "not worth it". couple months later and i regret not building her now 😭

[@carmaapple]

I love Herta! I'm glad to see that she is making a comeback! I can't wait for her 5 Star version to come out

[@panda-dn2cc]

Yeah lol

[@rosaria715]

funny enough, i liked her in early game alot, and i realized how her kit would fall off later. So i stop building / using her. But this Pure Fiction implemented i have to say, im very glad i build Himeko ( got from beginners banner ) long ago and now i can finnaly Use Herta again. It's so satisfying that Units what u thought where dead are so extremely powerfull in this content!

[@franiiee5321]

ngl I maxxed out Herta because I find it fun to just run an Elation team; That and she's very good at mowing mob throwing mobs. I didn't expect Herta to shoot up in rank, but I'm gonna be bragging about how I was an original Herta enjoyer

[@pandap0i]

Kurukuru~

[@kyllernotkiller]

The only reason mine was semi built before pure fiction is because I use her for farming xp with Himeko

[@jarvanlightshield9944]

Pure Fiction : Im gonna end all Hunt carrier

[@LjCast-b6q]

Not really, because memory of chaos is still a thing

[@Apcccc5206]

Good thing I like using underdogs / low tier characters and I have a very well built Herta even before Pure Fiction was released.

[@Tao-ko3ik]

she was the best character for erudition(even today shes still top 3 or 2) there just wasnt any content erudition excelled at since destruction chars were pretty similar to them

[@Wagonball_Z]

Herta with Yingyun and Sparkle is so good

[@joltking69]

I got this character relic built simply cuz I keep getting the wrong relics for Jingliu

[@octokid264]

herta is the best character. you cant change my mind.

Short answer: pure fiction happened

[@ImLemonadeCandy]

Hindsight, Feixiao x Herta X Robin is so good lol

[@Eintracht-uy3cz]

"Kuru Kuru" - Herta

[@LeftyPencil]

Hope you have one on Arlan as not many know he was Nanook in beta. Like Hanya, nerfed hard

[@claidheamhsoluis3044]

Lorewise, she is an Emanator of Erudition so yeah, they need to elevate her somehow...

[@itz_chou9452]

Lorewise that's herta puppet, Herta herself isn't playable and people rarely see her

[@Top_Nep]

apparently Herta was busted in beta and was nerfed hard on release

[@LukaWyd]

Zhongli level comeback be like

[@kurukurukuring]

i mained herta becuz of kuru kuru and i still main her

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

They're gonna nerf her during the next PF tho sadly

[@newlife5168]

You own multiple e6 units, I don't think herta helped as much as you claimed she did

[@nilmerg]

uh... it's been pretty much concluded across community discussions that herta became an excellent unit with the addition of pure fiction. pretty sure that wouldn't have come about if that weren't the case.

I love when she says" time to twerk"

[@RynerAGL]

I only thought of her being goo into the last Ecjo of War boss since it keeps summoning as long as you hit him

[@Lusc1nt]

Creating one game mode that gives you not a lot of currency just to make Erudition somewhat relevant isn't great. Let's be real, they did that to artificially boost Erudition's use. I still don't use them because I just don't clear the last stage and get almost all the rewards anyway. I hear this argument about erudition becoming good, but honestly, it's not because you can clear everything else AND even pure fiction with any other path that can be more flexible and used in other types of content.
