Herta Ice Erudition 5-Star

Herta, a powerful 5-Star Ice Erudition unit, excels in AoE combat. Her self-buffs and damage multipliers, including a team-wide CRIT DMG boost with another Erudition unit and a personal ATK buff, make her relatively easy to build effectively. Her gameplay centers around Inspiration and Interpretation stacks, enhancing her Skill and Ultimate damage.

Best Herta Build

Planar Ornaments:

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

Best Herta Relics

Herta benefits from ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. Scholar Lost in Erudition is the optimal Relic set, boosting Skill and Ultimate damage. Hunter of Glacial Forest is a strong alternative. For Planar Ornaments, Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm offers the best overall performance, with Rutilant Arena a close second. Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation is best suited for Pure Fiction.

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)

Best Herta Light Cones

Herta's signature Light Cone, Into the Unreachable Veil, is her best option. Night on the Milky Way is a strong alternative for five-target scenarios. Today Is Another Peaceful Day (4-star) provides excellent value. Before Dawn and Yet Hope Is Priceless serve as effective stat sticks. For early game, the free Erudition Light Cones are viable options.
