Herta Build Guide

Herta, the sentient puppet from the Herta Space Station, is a 4-star Ice Destruction character who excels at AoE damage with her follow-up attacks. This guide will focus on maximizing her Critical stats and ATK, ensuring her toys can deal significant damage to multiple enemies. Learn her best gear and team compositions.

Herta is a reliable 4-star Ice Destruction character whose strength lies in her ability to deal consistent AoE damage through her follow-up attacks, triggered by her Talent. To maximize her offensive potential, prioritize building her Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and ATK. She performs best in teams that can trigger her follow-up attacks more frequently or provide buffs to her damage, making her a solid choice for clearing waves of enemies.

Team Recommendations
