The gameplay kit for The Herta inHonkai: Star Railhas been leaked, and the character’s abilities may be clearer than ever, allowing players to understand how she works in combat with more accuracy than the previous leaks. The Herta is the true version of the Genius Society member.The character has long been leaked as one of the new 5-star additions for Version 3.0 alongside Aglaea, but she has now finally been officially revealed by HoYoverse. The developer has not detailed her abilities but has announced thatHerta’s true form inHonkai: Star Railis an Ice Erudition character.

Based on the Path that she follows, it is possible to speculate that The Herta is a character focused on dealing damage to multiple targets rather than singling out one enemy. This is true for the 4-star version of Herta, though the currently available Herta is more of a sub-DPS who works dealing AoE follow-up attacks.In contrast, the rumors indicate that The Herta will be a main DPS character who will carry most of the team’s damage. Now, there are more leaks aboutHerta’s 5-star form inHonkai: Star Railand players can better understand how she will work.

All Of The Herta’s Abilities In Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 Have Leaked

The Character’s Focus Seems To Be Dealing Damage

For reference, there had already been some early leaks about The Herta’s gameplay kit before, but they were very vague, and a lot was open to interpretation.These new leaks provide further details, even if building on the previous information. The information was provided by the leaker known as Shiroha and shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit. The leak details The Herta’s complete gameplay kit, including her Basic Attack, Skill, Enhanced Skill, Ultimate, Talent, andHerta’s chest-finding Technique inHonkai: Star Rail. While stats are still mostly missing from the leak, it specifies how The Herta works.

Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Leaks Hint At Promising New Free Character & Stellar Jade Rewards

An abundant amount of rewards may be given to players in Honkai: Star Rail 2.7, including a free 5-star character and extra Stellar Jade.

The Herta’s leaked Basic Attack sees her deal Ice DMG to a single target. Her Skill allegedly deals Ice DMG to a single target, applying stacks of Spirit Key to them. This ability also deals Ice DMG to adjacent targets.The Herta’s Enhanced Skill replicates the previous effects, but has a final step: it deals Ice DMG to all enemies after hitting the adjacent targets. Her leaked Ultimate deals Ice DMG to all opponents and allows her to take action again. Furthermore, she gets an attack buff and can use her Enhanced Skill while also recovering a Skill Point.

The new leaks debunk previous rumors that The Herta would attack a single target and make them explode, thus hitting adjacent targets, which would then explode themselves, and hit new adjacent targets inHonkai: Star Rail– though she is still allegedly capable of hitting all enemies on the field.

The Herta’s Power Lies In Her Leaked Passive Talent In Honkai: Star Rail

The Character Is Rumored To Have A Damage Multiplier

The leaks about The Herta’s active abilities don’t specify much about her damage output but focus on showing how she operates. The secret to The Herta’s leaked gameplay kit, however, lies in her passive Talent. According to the leak,when The Herta uses an Enhanced Skill, its damage multiplier is increased based on the number of Spirit Key stacks on the main target. After using the Enhanced Skill, all stacks are removed from the main target. This effect is increased by 100% for each other Erudition character in the team, such asJing Yuan inHonkai: Star Rail.

Every Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 Character Confirmed & Leaked (Phase 1 & Phase 2 Banners)

While two new 5-star characters have been confirmed for Honkai: Star Rail 2.7, leaks have highlighted two rerun characters in the upcoming banners.

Furthermore, when an enemy target enters the battle, it automatically gains a stack of Spirit Key. If they are defeated without Spirit Key being removed by one of The Herta’s Enhanced Skills, the stacks will transfer to the enemy with the highest HP.The leak mentions that Spirit Key can stack up to 42 times for each target. So far, it’s unknown how much of a damage multiplier bonus The Herta will get from each stack and how this will translate to true gameplay value, but it seems like her kit revolves around a specific mechanic inHonkai: Star Rail.

The strategy seems to be applying as many Spirit Key stacks as possible and then dealing devastating attacks with Herta’s Enhanced Skill – the important part, however, is keeping track of the Spirit Key stacks on all opponents so that her Enhanced Skill is used on the one with the most for the most damage output. Alternatively,players will also need to try and defeat opponents with large Spirit Key stacks normally so that it transfers to those with larger HP pools. When the Enhanced Skill is activated, this stronger target will then take a lot more damage.

Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Show One Path Is Taking A Devastating Blow In Version 3.0 & Forward

One of Honkai: Star Rail’s most important Paths may become temporarily obsolete with the arrival of Version 3.0 and its subsequent patches.

These leaked abilities seem to confirm the rumors that The Herta would be a main DPS rather than a sub-DPS like her 4-star version. While the character will likely not come in swinging her full damage,once she gets enough Spirit Key stacks on opponents, she will likely be able to melt through their health bars– especially if aided by other Erudition characters, such as 4-star Herta herself orJade inHonkai: Star Rail.

The Herta’s Leaked Technique Locates Chests In Honkai: Star Rail

The Character Can Be Helpful In Exploration

The last part of the leak highlights The Herta’s alleged Technique, which can be used in the overworld. When triggered, The Herta is said to summon a frame at her position, marking the location of nearby common loot items.This would mean regular treasure chests would be contemplated by the ability, though those with increased rarities may be left out of the scope of her ability. While her chest-finding ability had been leaked before, this new leak gives players more information about how she finds thesechests inHonkai: Star Rail.

Honkai Star Rail 3.2 Leaks: Castorice’s Design Seems Too Similar To An Existing Character

The design for Castorice in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 has allegedly leaked, but it already has a major problem when it comes to the character’s outfit.

As reliable as the leak may seem, these rumors about The Herta’s gameplay kit should be considered with caution. The details provided may be incorrect. If they are accurate, they are still incomplete, lacking more specific details that will determine whether or not her kit is useful in combat, and how other characters can interact with it. The official reveal of The Herta shows that the previous leaks about her design were accurate and it seems that HoYoverse is getting ready to announce the new content set to arrive inHonkai: Star Rail3.0 within a few weeks.
