The Herta Ice Erudition 5-Star

The Herta, or Madam Herta, is a formidable 5-star Ice Erudition unit and the founder of the Herta Space Station. Her kit excels in AoE combat, leveraging self-buffs and significant damage multipliers. She benefits from team synergy, particularly with other Erudition characters. This makes her relatively accessible to build, even for F2P players.

Her gameplay centers around Inspiration and Interpretation stacks. Consuming Inspiration stacks enhances her Skill, while Interpretation stacks increase the damage of her Enhanced Skill and Ultimate.

Best The Herta Build

Planar Ornaments:

• Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm (Overall BIS)
• Rutilant Arena
• Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation (Pure Fiction BIS)

Best The Herta Relics

The Herta prioritizes ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. Scholar Lost in Erudition is the best-in-slot (BIS) set, boosting Skill and Ultimate damage significantly. Hunter of Glacial Forest offers a viable alternative. For newer players, any 2-piece combination focusing on these stats is sufficient.

Best The Herta Light Cones

Into the Unreachable Veil (her signature Light Cone) is the optimal choice. Night on the Milky Way and An Instant Before A Gaze are strong 5-star alternatives. Today Is Another Peaceful Day and Geniuses' Repose are excellent 4-star options. For early game, the free Erudition Light Cones provide serviceable performance.

The Herta 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)

Note: Herta's A4 Trace significantly boosts CRIT DMG, influencing stat prioritization. SPD requirements depend on team composition and Eidolons.
