Herta
Ice
Erudition
5-Star
Herta, a powerful 5-star Ice Erudition unit and Emanator of Nous, excels in AoE combat. Her self-buffs and damage multipliers, including an 80% team-wide CRIT DMG boost with another Erudition unit and a personal three-turn ATK buff from her Ultimate, make her relatively easy to build effectively, even with F2P options. Her gameplay centers around Inspiration and Interpretation stacks, enhancing her Skill and Ultimate damage.
