Herta, also known as Madam Herta, is a powerful 5-Star Ice Erudition unit and an Emanator of Nous, the Aeon of Erudition. She's a member of the Genius Society and founder of the Herta Space Station.
Her Erudition path makes her effective in AoE, but she also performs well with fewer targets. Significant self-buffs and damage multipliers, including a team-wide 80% CRIT DMG boost with another Erudition unit and a three-turn ATK buff from her Ultimate, make her relatively easy to build, offering F2P-friendly options.
Her gameplay centers on Inspiration and Interpretation stacks. Consuming Inspiration enhances her Skill; more Interpretation stacks on enemies increase her Enhanced Skill and Ultimate damage.

Best Herta Relics
Herta prioritizes ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. Scholar Lost in Erudition (BIS) is ideal, boosting Skill and Ultimate damage. Hunter of Glacial Forest is a strong alternative. For Planar Ornaments, Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm offer the best overall performance, with Rutilant Arena as a viable alternative. Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation is best for Pure Fiction only.
The Herta Ideal Stats
| 2,500-2,800 ATK (SPD Boots) | 3,000-3,400 ATK (ATK% Boots) | 3,600-3,900 ATK (ATK% Boots & Sphere) |
|---|---|---|
| Base SPD or 134 SPD | 80%-100% CRIT Rate (In Combat) | 180%-200%+ CRIT DMG (w/ A4 Trace) |
Her A4 Trace provides 80% CRIT DMG, so aiming for 100% CRIT Rate is recommended. SPD requirements depend on teammates and Eidolons.
Best Herta Light Cones
Into the Unreachable Veil (signature) is the best, boosting Skill and Ultimate damage. Night on the Milky Way is a strong alternative (effective with 5+ targets). Today Is Another Peaceful Day (4-star) is a great F2P option. Before Dawn and Yet Hope Is Priceless are good stat sticks. For newer players, Eternal Calculus, The Day The Cosmos Fell, and The Seriousness of Breakfast are serviceable.
