As a seasoned Honkai: Star Rail player with countless hours invested in mastering the art of space exploration and character collection, I can hardly contain my excitement about the potential addition of a 5-star Herta to our roster!


A recent leak about Honkai: Star Rail suggests that the beloved Erudition character Herta will be upgraded to a 5-star version in upcoming updates. Ever since Honkai: Star Rail was released, Herta has been one of the free 4-star characters players receive, and she is often chosen by fans for specific gameplay scenarios. But it looks like we might soon have a more potent Herta to add to our roster.

In the introductory quest of Honkai: Star Rail, players first encountered Herta, who runs the Space Station often frequented by the Trailblazers. Herta is an Ice-type character adhering to the Erudition path and is particularly effective for Pure Fiction teams in the game. Though she can be played as a four-star character, Herta’s significance goes beyond just gameplay, as her storyline is quite important. She is a member of the Genius Society and serves as the Emanator of Nous, the Aeon of Erudition. Intriguingly, the Herta players encounter in the game is merely a puppet and not the real Herta. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the appearance of the genuine Herta, and it seems their wishes might be granted, hinted by a recent leak.

The well-known source for Honkai: Star Rail leaks, HomDGCat, has disclosed fresh information about the upcoming introduction of a 5-star version of the character Herta in future updates. According to the leak, this 5-star Herta will be the genuine article, referring to none other than the Emanator herself. This new unit for Herta will represent a distinct character, much like Dan Heng and Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, who are separate playable characters despite being the same figure. However, unlike Dan Heng, it appears that Herta might retain her original Path and Element, specifically Erudition and Ice, as her 4-star version does. Previous leaks hinted at a Fire-type Herta being discarded by the Honkai: Star Rail developers, but it seems they had always intended to release an alternative Herta instead.

Honkai: Star Rail Leaks 5-star Version of Herta

The leak also sheds light on 5-star Herta’s kit, reporting that most of her damage comes from her Skill and can perform three different actions. First, her skill marks a single target and detonates it. Then, the mark spreads to adjacent enemies and detonates all of them. Finally, the enemies’ adjacent units also get marked and receive an attack. After this, all marks are removed. Herta’s Ultimate deals damage to all units and stacks a certain buff. If this 5-star version of Herta becomes a reality, she could easily become one of the best Erudition characters in Honkai: Star Rail.

The upcoming version 2.5 update of Honkai: Star Rail is nearly here, bringing thrilling additions such as a new Trailblaze Continuance mission and introducing three fresh characters – Lingsha, Moze, and Feixiao, who many anticipate will be an exceptional Wind-type DPS. Most recently, Honkai: Star Rail unveiled the 5-star character Rappa, a clever Erudition unit of the Imaginary type, set to join the team in version 2.6.
