The General Team Composition
The Herta, being an Emanator of Erudition and have one of the strongest but demanding passive ability in the entire game, make it so that her team requirements are quite strict, due to her requiring to have at least an additional character following the path of Erudition, limiting the flexible team options for her from 3 teammates into only 2 for support and sustain.
This team composition also means that players will need to invest in an additional Erudition character aside from The Herta as a sub DPS in order to allow The Herta to reach her full damage potential.
Therefore the general The Herta team composition is as followed:
The Herta (Main DPS) + An Erudition Character + Support + Sustain
With that established, we will go over all of the options players can consider when building a team for The Herta, both in terms of options for the Premium Best The Herta Team and options for the best F2P The Herta Team.
The Herta Premium Team Options
Premium Erudition Sub DPS Options
For the Premium The Herta teammate options for the role of the Erudition character as the sub DPS, its best players can consider between these options: Jade or Argenti
Jade (Premium Sub DPS):
Jade is a Quantum element character following the path of Erudition with the ability to buff the speed of an ally in exchange for a portion of their HP whenever they attack.
She specializes in dealing massive amounts of AOE Follow Up Attacks whenever she reaches her stack requirements, which can be quickly fulfilled with her and her allies’ AOE attacks.
Jade is a fantastic teammate to The Herta as she can quickly deal AoE damage to enemies to help build The Herta’s stacks while also dealing good damage herself.
Argenti (Premium Sub DPS):
Argenti is another premium option players can consider as he is a physical character following the path of Erudition. Argenti’s main strong point is his ability to deal AoE damage to all enemies with his Skill and Ultimate, allowing him to help The Herta stack her debuffs and gain buffs much quicker. His ability to stack his Ultimate quickly and uses it 2 times in a row also help contributes to The Herta’s damage output by regenerating her energy quickly.
Players should not consider Rappa or Jingyuan for this position. Rappa is not fit for this position as she is a Break Oriented character, while Jingyuan is too slow on his own to help The Herta get her debuffs and buffs up quickly.
Premium Support Options
For the Premium Support options, players should consider bringing The Herta’s best support options: Robin or Remembrance Trailblazer.
Robin (Premium Support):
Robin is a unique support option for The Herta as she allows The Herta to deal an additional instance of Physical damage in addition to massively boosting The Herta’s damage output by increasing her attack stat.
Remembrance Trailblazer (Premium Support):
While is a free character, Remembrance Trailblazer is by far The Herta’s best Support due to their familiar’s unique ability to advance The Herta’s action forward, allowing her to take action immediately and buffs The Herta’s attacks with True Damage, making her deal even more damage with each hits. Remembertance Trailblazer’s AoE attacks also contribute to allowing The Herta to stack her debuffs and buffs as quickly as possible.
Premium Sustain Options
In terms of Sustain, for The Herta team comp, players should consider between Lingsha or Huohuo or Aventurine for the last slot in the team comp.
Lingsha (Premium Sustain):
Lingsha is an amazing Sustain option for The Herta team comp simply due to her ability to deal AoE damage to all enemies with her Skills, Ultimate and Follow Up Attack, allowing her to help The Herta gain buff stacks and inflict more debuffs on the enemies as quickly as possible while also heal all allies whenever she attacks.
Huohuo (Premium Sustain):
Huo Huo can regenerate energy for all allies, it really helps cover the energy gap for teams with high energy caps, like The Herta and Robin. With better energy regenerate, everyone gets more actions. Even though Huo Huo's hit count is low, the energy regenerate essentially speeds up your team’s actions, which helps boost the overall hit count and damage.
Aventurine (Premium Sustain):
Aventurine is also a consideration for the team thanks to his ability to deal damage to enemies whenever allies with his shield are attacked, allowing him to help build up The Herta’s debuff stacks quickly. In addition, Aventurine’s Ultimate also makes it so that the enemy takes more Critical Damage from attacks, helping The Herta deal even more damage.
The Herta F2P Team Options
F2P Erudition Sub DPS Options
In terms of F2P options for a Erudition Sub DPS in a decent team composition to go with The Herta, some of the notable characters players could build are: Herta or Serval
Herta (F2P Sub DPS):
Herta, the 4-star Ice Erudition character, not to be confused with The Herta, the 5-star Ice Erudition character, is unironically one of The Herta’s best F2P teammates due to their synergy together.
Herta’s AoE Skill and the ability to trigger a multi hit AoE attack against the enemies whenever someone hits 50% HP allows Herta to help The Herta build up her buff and debuff stacks extremely quickly.
Not to mention, by having Herta on the team with the same Ice element, players can also boost The Herta’s damage further by taking advantage of a special Ornament set.
Serval (F2P Sub DPS):
When considering a teammate for The Herta, a very cheap but consistent character players can run is Serval. In a budget team composition, Serval does not serve as a sub DPS but more like a Battery for The Herta, with her ability to regenerate her own Ultimate quickly, Serval can spam her Ultimate in order to grants The Herta as much energy as possible in addition to help stacks her debuffs and buffs with AoE attacks.
F2P Support Options
Incidentally, the best F2P Support option for The Herta is also her best Premium Support option, that being Remembrance Trailblazer as they offer The Herta everything she needs in a support teammate and more. So if players do not have other support options, simply build Remembrance Trailblazer to go with The Herta as her Support.
F2P Sustain Options
For F2P Sustain Options in a team comp with The Herta, players should consider Gallagher for this job.
Gallagher (F2P Sustain):
Among the sustain options for F2P The Herta team comp, Gallagher stands out as the best option due to his ability to deal AoE attacks to enemies, allowing him to help The Herta build her buff and debuff stacks quickly in addition to being able to heal teammates when needed.
