Overview
Herta follows allied attacks with an Ice sweep when an enemy is pushed to half HP or lower.
Role
Multi-wave follow-up damage.
Playstyle
Soften fresh waves with Skill or Ultimate and let the team create new half-HP triggers.
Why It Works
Her Skill and Ultimate hit every enemy, giving the team ways to start the threshold chain.
Watch For
A single durable target offers fewer fresh triggers than repeated waves. This is the four-star Herta, not The Herta.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Use Technique before combat when available. Skill softens the whole wave; time Ultimate to push healthy enemies through the Talent threshold. After the fresh triggers are spent, use Basics when the team needs Skill Points.
Key Notes
The Talent condition is reaching 50% HP or lower, not strictly below 50%.
E2's CRIT Rate stacks accumulate as her Talent triggers; E6's ATK buff lasts only one turn after Ultimate.
Do not expect repeatedly hitting the same already-low enemy to create an unlimited follow-up loop.
Do not delay every Ultimate waiting for Freeze; Icing is a conditional bonus.
Build & Investment
Light Cones
Primary
Before Dawn
Skill or Ultimate prepares a follow-up bonus, alongside CRIT DMG and Skill/Ultimate damage.
Alternative
Geniuses' Repose
ATK is unconditional; its CRIT DMG bonus requires Herta to defeat an enemy and lasts 3 turns.
Alternative
Eternal Calculus
Rewards hitting groups. Its SPD effect requires at least three targets hit and lasts one turn.
Relics
Primary
The Ashblazing Grand Duke
Repeated follow-up hits build ATK within the attack; stacks reset with the next follow-up.
Alternative
Scholar Lost in Erudition
For stronger Skill and Ultimate damage. Its post-Ultimate bonus applies to the next Skill, not the Talent.
Planars
Primary
Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation
For repeated enemy defeats across waves; its CRIT DMG stacks need time to build.
Alternative
Inert Salsotto
Requires 50% in-combat CRIT Rate for the Ultimate and follow-up damage bonus.
Main Stats
Body
- CRIT Rate
- AlternativeCRIT DMG
Account for E2's stacking CRIT Rate.
Use when CRIT Rate is already sufficient after the expected E2 ramp.
Feet
- ATK%
- AlternativeSPD
For a follow-up-focused wave-clearing role.
When extra Skills improve wave setup.
Sphere
- Ice DMG Boost
- AlternativeATK%
Default offensive sphere.
Alternative with better substats or strong damage buffs.
Rope
- ATK%
Supports Skill, Ultimate and Talent damage.
Recommended Substats
- CRIT Rate
- CRIT DMG
- ATK%
- SPD
Balance CRIT around the expected E2 stacks, then add ATK. SPD is a turn-plan choice for additional Skills; it does not create new HP-threshold triggers by itself.
Eidolon Investment
E0 already provides the HP-threshold follow-up. E2, E4 and E6 improve the same role; none makes a single-target fight behave like a fresh wave.
Herta does not need a limited cone to trigger her Talent. Choose an owned Erudition option whose kill or target-count conditions the encounter supports.
E2
Each Talent trigger adds 3% CRIT Rate, up to 15%. Count the ramp-up when balancing CRIT.
E4
Increases damage when her Talent triggers by 10%, strengthening the follow-up role.
E6
Ultimate grants 25% ATK for one turn. Align subsequent attacks with that short window when possible.
Teams
Recommended Teammates
Himeko
Himeko can push enemies through Herta's HP threshold; Herta can help break Ice-weak targets for Himeko. Enemy weaknesses and fresh waves limit the chain.
Robin
Robin's team ATK and Action Advance help set up fresh thresholds. Herta's attacks also restore Robin's Energy.
The Herta
Herta supplies the second Erudition character and multi-target attacks for The Herta's traces. Do not count every spin of one attack as a separate Energy trigger.
