The Herta is a 5★ Ice character on the Path of Erudition. She specializes in multi-target Ice damage, excelling in add-heavy content like Pure Fiction.

How to Play

Pair The Herta with a Harmony amplifier and a sustain in AoE content. Find her placement on the HSR tier list.

Best Build

Light Cones: Into the Unreachable Veil (signature, Skill DMG plus SP refund on Ultimate), Today Is Another Peaceful Day, or Geniuses' Repose. Relic Set: Scholar Lost in Erudition (4pc) for big Skill DMG on Ultimate. Planar Ornament: Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm (CRIT Rate with another Erudition ally) or Rutilant Arena. Main Stats: Body CRIT Rate / Feet ATK% or SPD / Sphere Ice DMG / Rope ATK%. Substats: CRIT Rate (target 80%+), CRIT DMG, ATK%, SPD (134+ breakpoints).

Best Teams

1. Dual Erudition AoE: The Herta + Anaxa (second Erudition DPS) + Tribbie + a healer. Anaxa's double-skill turns are ideal.
2. Herta synergy: pairs with Tribbie for buffs and follow-up energy.

Kit Overview

• Skill: Powerful AoE Ice DMG that scales up dramatically after using her Ultimate.
• Ultimate: Empowers her subsequent Skills with large Skill DMG bonus, her main burst loop.
• Talent/Role: CRIT AoE Erudition hypercarry; auto-gains CRIT DMG when paired with another Erudition unit.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Top-tier AoE CRIT damage; free CRIT DMG with an Erudition partner; strong SP economy with signature. Cons: Wants a second Erudition unit to peak; needs high CRIT Rate to make her kit consistent.
