The Herta

Ice Erudition multi-target damage dealer

Released Jan 15, 2025

The Herta is an Ice Erudition attacker who builds Interpretation stacks on enemies, shifts stacks toward Elite targets with her Ultimate, then uses an enhanced Skill for repeated spread damage and an all-enemy hit. Consider her when you want an area-focused damage dealer whose enhanced Skill gains value from stacking Interpretation, particularly when two or more teammates follow Erudition.

The Herta GUIDE

Understand The Herta

Useful when…

  • Attacking groups while spreading Interpretation stacks and using the enhanced Skill against a high-stack primary target.
  • Shifting high Interpretation stacks onto Elite-level enemies and above when using her Ultimate.
  • Exploring Simulated Universe or Divergent Universe with her Technique's wave-start True DMG effect.

How Interpretation supports her damage

Enemies entering combat receive one Interpretation stack, and at each wave start a random enemy receives 25 stacks, with Elite-level targets and above prioritized. Interpretation can stack to 42. Each time her Skill hits, it adds a stack to its designated target, then repeats damage across targets hit and their adjacent enemies twice. Targets with at least five different Weakness types receive Qualitative Disclosure: The Herta deals 18% more damage to them, and using Basic ATK or Skill on them triggers one extra Skill instance that costs no Skill Points and cannot trigger itself again. When that target is defeated or leaves the field, its Interpretation transfers, prioritizing Elite-level targets and above.

Ultimate and enhanced Skill

Her Ultimate rearranges Interpretation stacks, prioritizing transfer of higher stack counts to Elite-level targets and above, then damages all enemies. It also raises her ATK by 40% for 3 turns, gives her an immediate action, and grants one Inspiration stack, up to four. Inspiration changes her Skill to Hear Me Out: it consumes one stack, hits a designated enemy and spreads damage to the targets hit and their adjacent enemies twice, then hits all enemies. Using the enhanced Skill resets the primary target's Interpretation to one, so its damage benefits from the accumulated stack value just before that reset.

Team condition and investments

Her Talent gives each Interpretation stack an additional damage increase when at least two characters in the team follow Erudition, applying its stated increase to both the primary and other targets. That condition is a concrete reason to consider an Erudition-heavy team. For traces, Skill, Ultimate, and Talent directly support the repeated Skill damage, stack handling, and stack-based damage increase; the single-target Basic ATK is less central to this kit. Promotion and trace costs rise at later stages, so prioritize the abilities used most often in the intended role before incidental stat traces.

Technique and practical limits

Her Technique increases her ATK by 60% for 2 turns at the start of the next battle and can mark up to three Basic Treasures on the current map. When it is used to enter Simulated Universe or Divergent Universe combat, it deals True DMG at each wave start: 99% of Max HP to enemies below Elite level and 30% to Elite-level enemies and above. This special wave effect is tied to those modes. In ordinary combat, her stack transfer and enhanced Skill require managing Interpretation and Inspiration rather than treating the Ultimate as a one-time finisher.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Her stack-scaled Skill rewards setup and can reset the primary target's Interpretation after use.
  • The extra damage per Interpretation stack improves when at least two team members follow Erudition, making that benefit team-dependent.
  • The Technique's wave-start True DMG applies when entering Simulated Universe or Divergent Universe combat through the Technique.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using the enhanced Skill without accounting for its reset of the primary target's Interpretation to one.
  • Assuming the additional Interpretation damage bonus is the same without the two-Erudition team condition.
  • Applying the Technique's wave-start True DMG to ordinary battles outside the stated Simulated Universe and Divergent Universe condition.

After the enemy target leaves the field or gets defeated by any unit, "Interpretation" will be transferred, prioritizing the transfer to Elite-level targets and above.
15When enemy targets enter combat, The Herta inflicts 1 stack of "Interpretation" on them. At the start of each wave, applies 25 stack(s) of "Interpretation" to a random enemy target, prioritizing Elite-level targets and above. When the Enhanced Skill's primary target has "Interpretation," the multiplier for the DMG dealt increases, with each stack granting an increase of 10%/5% on the primary target/other targets respectively. If 2 or more characters follow the Path of Erudition in the team, each stack grants an additional increase of 10%/5% on the primary target/other targets respectively. "Interpretation" can stack up to 42 time(s). When using the Enhanced Skill, resets the number of "Interpretation" stacks on the primary target to 1. After the enemy target leaves the field or gets defeated by any unit, "Interpretation" will be transferred, prioritizing the transfer to Elite-level targets and above.
