The well-known Erudition character Herta is set to receive a 5-star form in upcoming upgrades, according to a recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail. Herta is a popular choice for specific game modes and has been one of the players' permanent free 4-star characters since Honkai: Star Rail's release. But it's possible that a stronger Herta will materialize.

Herta is the owner of the Space Station that the Trailblazers frequently visit, and players first encountered her during the Prologue Quest in Honkai: Star Rail. Herta is the ideal Honkai: Star Rail character for Pure Fiction teams. She is an Ice-type heroine who is pursuing Erudition. Herta is playable as a four-star, although her role has a lot of lore significance. She is the Aeon of Erudition, the Emanator of Nous, and a member of the Genius Society. Furthermore, the Herta that players encounter in the game is not the real Herta; rather, she is a puppet. For a very long time, fans have been wondering if the genuine Heart would ever appear. Based on a recent leak, it looks like their wish will finally be fulfilled.

Leading Honkai: Star Rail leaker HomDGCat has revealed fresh information regarding a five-star Herta that will be available in upcoming upgrades. This version would be the actual Herta, or the Emanator herself, according to what the leak says. Similar to how Dan Heng and Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae are different playable units of the same character, this 5-star Herta would be a completely new unit. Herta, in contrast to Dan Heng, might preserve the same Path and Element—that is, Ice and Erudition—as her four-star version. A Fire-type Herta was abandoned by Honkai: Star Rail developers, according to previous leaks, but it appears that the release of a different Herta was always intended.

Honkai: Star Rail Reveals Herta's 5-Star Version

The leak also provides information about 5-star Herta's equipment, revealing that she can execute three separate moves and that her skill deals the majority of her damage. Her skill first marks and explodes a single target. Subsequently, the mark expands to nearby adversaries, causing them to all explode. Lastly, adjacent units of the enemy are also marked and attacked. All marks are then eliminated. All units take damage from Herta's Ultimate, which also stacks a certain benefit. Herta has the potential to be one of the greatest Erudition characters in Honkai: Star Rail if this five-star version of her becomes a reality.

The 2.5 update for Honkai: Star Rail will soon be available. It will include three new characters—Feixiao, Moze, and Lingsha—as well as a new Trailblaze Continuance task. Feixiao is anticipated to be the next greatest Wind-type DPS. The 5-star character Rappa, an Imaginary-type Erudition unit, was just revealed in Honkai: Star Rail. Version 2.6 should see Rappa added to the roster.
