Herta Build Guide

Honkai Star Rail Herta Build

Honestly, it’s not recommended to use Herta in your team unless you really like her character and want to her say “Kurukuku” and “Kururin” a all the time during battle. She is free character as reward for clearing introduction quest to Herta Simulated Universe with Herta Store in it. More copies of her eidolon also can be obtained this way.

For Ice unit, it’s better to use March 7th sice she have both offensive and defensive capability. Then again, if you want to build her no one gonna stop you so here’s the detail.
