This guide provides a detailed breakdown of the optimal build for The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail, covering Light Cones, Relics, and ideal stats.
Quick Links
The Herta
Ice
Erudition
5-Star
The Herta, a 5-Star Ice Erudition unit, is a powerful addition to any Honkai: Star Rail team. As an Emanator of Nous, she excels in AoE combat but remains effective against fewer targets. Her self-buffs and damage multipliers, including a team-wide 80% CRIT DMG boost with another Erudition unit and a personal three-turn ATK buff from her Ultimate, make her relatively easy to build, even with F2P options. Her gameplay centers around Inspiration and Interpretation stacks, enhancing her Skill and Ultimate damage.

Best The Herta Relics
The Herta benefits most 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 solid alternative. For newer players, any 2-piece combination of CRIT Rate, Ice DMG, or ATK% works. Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm provide the best overall Planar Ornament boost, with Rutilant Arena a strong alternative. Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation is best suited for Pure Fiction.
The Herta Ideal Stats
| Stat | Recommended Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ATK | 2,500-2,800 (SPD Boots); 3,000-3,400 (ATK% Boots); 3,600-3,900 (ATK% Boots & Sphere) | Depends on boot choice and other stat rolls |
| SPD | Base SPD or 134 SPD | Depends on team composition and Eidolons |
| CRIT Rate | 80%-100% (In Combat) | Aim for 100% with support or CRIT Rate chestpiece |
| CRIT DMG | 180%-200%+ (w/ A4 Trace) | A4 Trace provides a significant CRIT DMG boost |
Best The Herta Light Cones
Into the Unreachable Veil (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) provides excellent value. Before Dawn and Yet Hope Is Priceless serve as good stat sticks. For newer players, the free Erudition Light Cones are serviceable.
