Honkai Star Rail 5-Star Herta (True Form): Leaked Kit, Eidolons & Signature Light Cone

Herta is the Emanator of Erudition and the #83 of the Genius Society. She is one of the genius minds behind Simulated Universe, and Honkai Star Rail players are already very familiar with her. The game gives a free copy of the 4-star Herta early on in the game from Simulated Universe, which is basically one of her puppets. There had been leaks about Herta’s true form becoming playable in version 3.0, and we finally have her leaked kit details as well. Here is everything we currently know about 5-star Herta’s leaked kit, eidolons, and signature Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail.

Honkai Star Rail 5-Star Herta Speculated Release Date

The true form of Herta is expected to release in Honkai Star Rail 3.0 version. We can expect Herta’s Drip Marketing to arrive in the coming days before the Honkai Star Rail 2.7’s release. Another leak has recently revealed that the upcoming 2.7 version will tease Herta’s True form at the very end.

If the leaks are true and version 2.7 follows the normal 42-day cycle, then Herta should release around January 14, 2024. This date is a mere speculation, but we will update it here when information is revealed officially.

Honkai Star Rail 5-Star Herta Leaked Kit

The recent leaks via Shiroha posted on Reddit have revealed a ton of information on True Form Herta’s kit. Here are all the kit details revealed on Herta:

• Basic Attack: Deals Ice damage to a single enemy target.
• Skill: Does Blast Ice damage and applying several Spirit Key stacks to the main target.
• Enhanced Skill: Attacks a single target and deals Ice damage, applying several stacks of Spirit Key on them. Deals additional Ice damage to the main target and its adjacent enemies, and finally deals Ice damage to all enemies.
• Ultimate: Deals AoE Ice damage and gives Herta an immediate turn. Also, increases Herta’s Attack and grants one use of Enhanced Skill. One Skill point is recovered after using Herta’s Enhanced Skill.
• Talent: The damage multiplier of the Enhanced Skill of Herta is increased based on the Spirit key stacks on the enemy. After using the Enhanced Skill, all Spirit Key stacks are removed from the main target. This effect increases based on the number of Erudition characters in the team. Additional, enemies get one stack of Spirit Key after entering the battle. If the target dies without the Spirit Key being removed by her Enhanced Skill, the stacks are transferred to the enemy with the highest HP. Spirit Key can stack up to a maximum of 42 times.
• Technique: Her technique summons a frame at her current location, which marks nearby common loot items, marking up to 3 nearby chests. Also gives an Attack buff for x turns when entering combat. When in the Simulated Universe, it deals 99% damage to non-elite enemies and 30% damage to Elite Enemies in each wave.
• Trace 1: When an ally attacks an enemy target, the enemy gains 1 stack of Spirit Key. Upon gaining Spirit Key stacks, Herta regenerates x amount of energy. This energy regeneration effect can be triggered up to 5 times per attack.
• Trace 2: The Crit Damage of all allies is increased when another Erudition character is on the field.
• Trace 3: When using her Ultimate, the multiplier of her Enhanced Skill increases based on the number of Spirit Key stacks on the main target.

Herta’s current 5-star kit appears to be very dependent on Erudition characters, or even Follow-up attack characters. Her damage out mainly depends on her Ultimate, followed by her Enhanced Skill, which deals increased damage based on the Spirit Key stacks on enemies. As allies can also stack Spirit Keys on enemies by hitting them, Erudition characters get a clear advantage in Herta teams. Furthermore, just having Erudition characters in the team increases the effectiveness of her Talent, as well as increases Crit Damage for all allies.

HSR 5-Star Herta (True Form) Leaked Signature Light Cone

Herta’s 5-star Signature Light Cone has also been leaked. Here is everything we currently know about it:

Honkai Star Rail 5-star Herta Leaked Eidolons

We also have early information on True Form Herta’s Eidolons from the leaks via Shiroha. Here are all the details leaked on Reddit:

• E1: Increases Herta’s Ice Resistance penetration and her Ultimate additionally applies X number of Spirit Key stacks on all enemies.
• E2: Enhanced Skill deals additional damage based on the number of stacks on the primary and secondary targets during damage calculation.
• E4: All Erudition characters on the field have increased Speed.
• E6: After using her Ultimate, Herta gains a buff. Using Enhanced Skill does not consume the primary target’s Spirit Key stacks for 1 turn. Additionally, using Enhanced Skill grants one extra usage of Enhanced Skill.

So far this is all the leaked information we have on Herta’s new kit and we can expect more after the 3.0 beta release. Tell us what you think about the next playable Emanator in HSR being Herta and whether her kit will bring back Erudition characters in the limelight.
