About Herta's 4-Star and 5-Star Versions

The official confirmation reveals that Herta, member #83 of the Genius Society, will retain both the Damage Type and the Path of her 4-Star version. She remains an Ice user with an Erudition path. This consistency provides a familiar yet enhanced experience for players. It shows HoYoverse's attention to detail in maintaining certain characteristics while introducing a new level of power.Moreover, the naming of her 5-Star form has sparked community discussions. The official announcement quotes Herta herself, expressing her views on the extra title proposed by the writers. Her words add a layer of depth and personality to the character, making her more than just a powerful entity.

Herta's Design and Weapon

Herta's design bears a resemblance to Lisa from Genshin Impact, which was evident from her teasers a few weeks ago. She wields a heavily modified Key of Wisdom as her weapon, which is significant as it is the Trace material for early Erudition characters. This choice of weapon showcases her connection to knowledge and her role as an Emanator of Nous, Aeon of Erudition.Her appearance seems to suggest that she rarely leaves the far edge of the Cosmos. However, this time, her appearance indicates that she has come to handle an issue that requires her personal attention. This adds an air of mystery and importance to her character.

Herta's Past and Future

Although we have only interacted with Herta's puppets before, we now know that she is extremely powerful. She has saved her homeworld from destruction on multiple occasions and is a key figure in the Genius Society. During the latest Simulated Universe chapter, we learned more about her and her pursuit of expanding the circle of knowledge.However, her actions are destined to bring her into conflict with Polka Kalkamond, another member of the Genius Society who wants to prevent the circle from expanding. This conflict adds an exciting element to the story and sets the stage for future developments.Before we can meet The Herta and understand her motives, we will have other stories to explore, such as those of Sunday and Fugue. These stories will provide additional context and depth to the Honkai: Star Rail universe.The Herta and Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 are set to arrive in January 2025, promising an exciting journey for players.
