Hero's story
The scientist is so smart that she even cools down to world discoveries and abandons them halfway. She sees no point in wasting time and energy on people, and therefore most often only one of the articulated puppets of a miniature girl appears before everyone, conducting dialogues and doing things instead of the real one. According to the genius, the appearance of the doll reminds her of her childhood, and therefore one can only guess about the true age of the heroine.
How to Get the Character
A regular 4-star Herta is given as a reward for completing Trailblaze Mission "Simulated Universe: First Closed Beta. Eidolons 1 to 4 are available for free, if you take part in that mode with the generation of levels and complete Worlds 2, 4, 6 and 7 on the first difficulty.
Additionally, she can be obtained with a small probability from all types of banners: in the initial "Launch Warp", the basic "Star Warp", in the event "Event Warp: Character" and "Event Warp: Light Cone".
Features
When leveling up, basic parameters are increased. Such stats as speed or taunt do not change in any way with increasing level, but these characteristics can be affected with cavern relics, light cones and skills of some heroes. Detailed information about the values is provided in the table below.
| Level | Base HP | Basic attack | Base DEF | Basic speed | Basic taunt |
| 1 | 129 | 79 | 54 | 100 | 75 |
| 10 | 187 | 114 | 78 | 100 | 75 |

How Herta's skills work
Active skills
The technique
Technique "It Can Still Be Optimized» (Enhance)
Using the technique before the next battle will increase attack power by 40%. The effect lasts for the first 3 turns of the battle.
Basic attack
Basic AttackWhat Are You Looking At? (single strike)
Deals ice damage to a single enemy, equal to 50-125% of the heroine's own attack power.
Skill
Skill "One-Time Offer» (Area Strike)
All enemy targets on the field are dealt ice damage equal to 50-130% of attack power. Damage is increased by an additional 20% if the enemy's HP is greater than or equal to 50%.
Ultimate
Superpower"It's Magic, I Added Some Magic» (Area Strike)
Blasts all enemies with ice damage equal to 120-240% of total attack power.
Passive Skills
Talent
Talent "Fine, I'll Do It Myself» (Area Strike)
If an ally's attack reduces an enemy's health below or exactly to 50%, the heroine performs a bonus attack, dealing ice damage to absolutely all targets equal to 25-47,5% of her personal attack power.
Leveling Order
Skill = Talent > Superpower > Normal Attack.
In order to balance the overall damage, it is recommended to first upgrade the skill and talent. One ability will boost the heroine if the opponents' HP is less than 50%, and the second will help when the opponents' health is above half. The order of leveling may change slightly if the heroine acts as the main DD instead of the secondary one. One ability will boost the heroine if the opponents' HP is less than 50%, and the second, when the opponents' health is higher, will decently increase the scientist's overall damage.
The other pair of abilities are less of a priority, but still important to upgrade if you want to maximize damage output. The ult has the most damage, but it is more useful for protracted fights and against bosses. The Basic attack will do the least damage, but with a high level of character development it can lower the HP of enemies below half and trigger the talent proc, since it has a DPS bonus with the first eidolon. At the same time, the skill will not spend points for turns and will save them for the future or for allies.
Traces
The final increase in parameters will be:
| Ice Damage Bonus | + 14,4 % |
| Critical Chance | + 6,7 % |
| DEF | + 22,5 % |
All traces of the character
| Efficiency: Activating the skill increases damage to enemies with high HP by 25%. | Icing: The damage of the ultimate is increased by 20% if it hits targets with the Freeze status. | Puppet: Chance to avoid control effects is increased by 35%. |
| Defense +5%. | Critical Chance +4%. | Ice bonus +4,8%. |
| Ice bonus +3,2%. | Defense +10%. | Defense +7,5%. |
| Critical Chance +2,7%. | Ice bonus +4,8%. |
In addition to the above parameters, ice damage increases: +3,2% at level 1 and +6,4% at level 80 of the hero.
Eidolons
All unit consts:
| number | Name | Effects |
| 1 | Kick You When You're Down | When the enemy's health is below or equal to 50%, deals additional ice damage with a basic attack equal to 40% of her total attack power. |
| 2 | Keep the Ball Rolling | For the first 5 instances of the talent, the critical chance is increased by 3% each time, for a total of a maximum of 15% |
| 3 | That's the Kind of Girl I Am | Increases skill by lvl 2, maximum - 15. Increases base attack lvl by 1, maximum - 10. |
| 4 | Hit Where It Hurts | When the talent is triggered, the damage dealt is increased by 10%. |
| 5 | Cuss Big or Cuss Nothing | Increases super ability lvl by 2, maximum - 15. Increases talent lvl by 2, maximum - 15. |
| 6 | No One Can Betray Me | If the ultimate ability is used, then the attack power is increased by 25%, but only for 1 turn. |
Herta's best eidolons are E2, E4 and E6.
- Feature of the second eidolon: Full stacks of the buff can increase critical hit chance by 15%. Traces of the character also increase the critical chance, and all this together will allow you to invest more in other characteristics when placing relics or make the hero's damage even higher.
- Feature of the fourth eidolon: a constellation that is the peak of strength. The character's talent can often work on several enemies, and an additional increase in the damage it inflicts will allow you to finish off stronger opponents and generally boost the hero.
- Feature of the sixth eidolon: is not the best, but with each use of the ult it will increase ATK for the next turn. All abilities depend on this parameter, due to which the total DPS inflicted by the hero will increase. With a high amount of energy and the ability to use the ultimate more often, the constellation will help Herta act as the main DD if necessary or support her damage as a sub DD, since it will also affect the talent.
How to play Herta
The heroine's specialty is her talent, which allows her to perform an AoE attack if she previously dealt damage to a monster with less than 50% health. Keep an eye on your opponents' HP and weaknesses to create perfect combinations in turn-based combat. The scientist is at her best against multiple waves of opponents or those with ice vulnerability.
Generally speaking, the rotation of the regular Herta is built on the following recommendations:
- Before the start of the battle, use the effect of the skill "It Can Still Be Optimized" to increase attack power for the first three turns. This will allow you to destroy enemy waves faster, but do not forget about the techniques of other characters in the team.
- If the heroine gets the first turn, use her skill "One-Time Offer", since when the enemies' HP is above half, it will deal additional damage.
- If the scientist's role is secondary, then depending on the remaining amount of points, use either the skill or use a normal attack that deals ice damage.
- Keep an eye on the percentage of health of monsters to properly distribute abilities and thus self-activate the talent "Fine, I'll Do It Myself" with a bonus attack after allies hit. If necessary, remove the shields of vulnerable enemies with ice damage.
- As soon as the energy for the ultimate "It's Magic, I Added Some Magic" is accumulated, use it. Using the ult in time can not only cause damage, but also save the team, to break the enemy's vulnerability and cancel their ability. Also, the ultimate can destroy, for example, exploding opponents when there are no skill points left or all the heroes have already managed to take action.

Strengths and Weaknesses
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
| The first 3 constellations of the hero are easy to obtain - the last one may be difficult, but at least they can all be obtained as you progress through the content. Half of the eidolons will allow you to get a damage increase. | As the Trailblazing level increases, she is displaced by the rest of the Path of Erudition, among which there are two free 4☆ characters, although she is able to synergize with the standard 5☆ Himeko. |
| It is able to significantly save time and help with quick clearing of content with groups of monsters, among which there is a daily farm of dungeons, levels simulated universeand Forgotten Hall. | Unlike some heroes, she can't freeze enemies with her abilities, so she's a combat-type character, not a support character for the team. This is also a negative point, since she needs the help of stronger damage dealers or (de-)buffers. |
| The traces basically improve almost the most important stats of the character, and she is the second free hero with the ice element and, unlike March 7 can act as a damage dealer. | Weak against bosses, which is not only a disadvantage of the path, but also of the regular Herta herself due to her abilities being tied to the opponent's health percentage. |
Best Herta Builds in Honkai: Star Rail
- ATK, since all abilities scale with this stat.
- CRIT Rate/DMG: as an additional boost to DPS.
Alternative stats in relics and planar ornaments:
- Speed will not be superfluous, as it will allow you to perform actions more often, and, accordingly, more actively inflict damage on enemies.
- Break effect will be effective against targets vulnerable to ice, but for the same reason the stat is not mandatory.
Recommended Stats
Characteristics to look for in relics:
| Relic | Main characteristic |
| Head | HP (permanent) |
| Hands | Attack Power (constant) |
| Body | Crit. chance (or crit damage) |
| Boots | Attack power (or speed) |
| Planar Sphere | Ice Damage Bonus (or Attack Power) |
| Link Rope | ATK |
In sub-stats, note the following:
- Crit. indicators.
- Attack power.
- Speed.
Light Cone Rating
It is essential to choose a cone of the Path of Erudition, because otherwise the passive effect of the weapon will not activate, and the weapon will become a kind of stopper, giving the hero only the main stats. In turn, the key parameters and buffs should be as follows:
- Damage % increased.
- Increases attack power and crits.
- Increases bonus attack.
| Name | Description | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 52-1164 ATK 26-582 DEF 18-396 | Attack power is passively increased by 9-15%, which stacks up to 5 times for each enemy in the arena. If anyone hits a vulnerability on an enemy, the damage dealt by the equipped character is increased for 1 turn by 30-50%. | Not a bad option, in modes like Pure Fiction, not inferior to "Before Dawn". Suitable for fighting against multiple groups of enemies, but already with 3 instead of 5 opponents, the DPS will decrease. The talent is triggered when the enemy's HP decreases, which often happens with a broken vulnerability. The cone will increase the attack power that the heroine needs, allowing her to focus more on crits. The weapon is suitable for use in farming. |
 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463 | Increases the wearer's critical damage by 36-60%, and his damage dealt with his skill and ultimate by 18-30%. When an equipped character uses a skill or superpower, they gain a special status. sleeping body. Effect sleeping body is instantly absorbed after a bonus attack is applied, but its damage is increased by 48-80%. | A near-perfect weapon choice that boosts all skills. Each use of the skill will give a noticeable boost to subsequent bonus hits, even if they occur outside the character's turn. This is important, since the talent only works when the enemy's HP is reduced to half or less. Cone will passively increase crit dmg, and while leveling up, the chance of a critical hit increases. |
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-953 ATK 26-582 DEF 24-529 | Crit chance increases by 16-28%. If the weapon card holder's critical damage exceeds 120%, the damage of his bonus hit is increased by 16-28% for every additional 20%. This effect can stack up to 4 times. Additional Buff - At the start of a battle or after taking a hit, for 2 turns allows an ultimate or bonus attack to ignore 16-28% of enemy defense. | A decent light cone, which requires more conditions to fully reveal itself compared to five-star alternatives. It is easier for the girl to gain more crit. parameter than others, since there is a small crit. chance embedded in her traces. However, outside of modes like Simulated Universe, it will be difficult to reach the 200% crit dmg value to fully enhance the bonus hits. In certain situations, the heroine can use the basic attack instead of the skill, so sometimes she will even be able to activate an additional weapon bonus during the battle. |
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 24-529 DEF 18-396 | ATK is increased by 8-12%. After performing a strike, the attack power is additionally increased by 4-8% for each enemy attacked. This effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts until the wearer's next turn. If the strike was made on 3 or more targets, the owner's speed will increase by additional 8-16% for 1 turn. | When fully applied, it is one of the perfect and most stable equipment options for a heroine whose strength is especially revealed against a large number of enemies, as in Pure fiction. The cone will greatly increase her ATK and allow her to make new moves faster. |
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463 | Critical damage is increased by 36-60%When the owner uses the ultimate, the damage they inflict is increased by 0,36-0,60% for each unit from max. owner's energy. This effect can stack up to max. 180 energy. | It will fit the scientist well if she plays the role of a secondary damage dealer. It will provide good bonuses to the character: boost combat characteristics and increase damage from the ultimate, which will be useful in clearing high-level content (against bosses surrounded by less powerful minions). |
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 38-846 ATK: 21-476 DEF: 18-396 | All damage dealt by the owner is increased by 12-24%. Attack power is increased by 4-8% for each defeated opponent. The buff stacks up to 3 times. | The percentage damage increase effect is the strongest and works on all sources of damage from the character, be it a bonus hit or super ability. You can increase the level of Superimposition for free, which makes it even better. In addition, the weapon will be a good option for farming. |
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK: 21-476 DEF 15-330 | Owner's attack power increases by 16-24%. If after the owner's attack at least 2 targets have the corresponding vulnerability, critical damage increases by 20-40% for 2 turns. | Provides a good attack boost on a permanent basis, and when the requirements of the second part of the passive effect are met, significantly increases the critical parameter for 2 turns. When playing with weapons, you will need to monitor the weaknesses of your opponents and refresh the cone effects with a skill hit every few actions. If all conditions are met, it is a strong alternative, but if you cannot activate the passive skill, it significantly decreases in effectiveness. |
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 38-846 ATK 24-529 DEF 15-330 | At the start of combat, damage dealt by the wearer is increased by 0,2-0,4% for every unit energy up to 160 units. The increase to the total damage will be 22-44%. | The cost of using the ultimate is quite low compared to other representatives of the Path of Erudition, which is why the effect is not fully revealed. However, the increase in overall DPS is a strong buff. From 1 level of Imposition and above, the weapon becomes no worse than The Seriousness of Breakfast |
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK: 21-476 DEF 15-330 | The damage of all bonus hits from the owner is passively increased by 24-48%. Bonus attacks damage 24-48% more when the enemy's current health is 50% or lower. | A signature weapon that focuses on enhancing her bonus attacks, which are the heroine's strong point. The condition of the enemy's HP being less than or equal to 50% is ideally combined with the character's talent, which has a similar trigger condition. |
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 21-476 DEF 18-396 | Increases the total attack power of the equipped hero by 16-32%. After defeating an opponent, critical damage is increased by 24-48% for 3 turns. | The heroine needs an increase in attack power, since all her skills depend on this characteristic. The weapon will increase the critical value, which other cones of similar rarity cannot provide. However, there is a free option "The Seriousness of Breakfast" with an increase in all damage and an available superimposition boost, when this weapon is obtained only from banners. |
 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 38-846 ATK: 21-476 DEF 18-396 | At the very beginning of the battle, the owner regenerates 20-32 energy, and the damage from their ult increases by 32-64%. | This Light Cone is suitable if you don't have any other suitable options or when playing from the ultimate. The weapon will allow you to use the ult more often and increase its damage, but will not provide any other bonuses to the characteristics. |
 ⭐⭐⭐ HP 33-740 ATK 16-370 DEF 12-264 | Attack power is increased by 24-48% for 2 turns after using an ultimate. | The light cone bonus is similar to the last constellation, but is more of a nice bonus to attack power, which requires using an ultimate, even if it has low costs. The choice is not bad, but almost any other light cone will show itself to be stronger. |
What relics and ornaments are needed
The same characteristics are selected in relics as in the light cone. In addition to this, it is possible to distinguish sets aimed at enhancing specific skills that are most often used by the character during combat and are an important source of damage.
Cavern relics
| Name | Effects | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
 | 2 parts: Increases bonus hit damage by 20%. 4 parts: When the owner deals damage with a bonus attack, their attack power is increased by 6%. This effect can be stacked up to 8 times and lasts for 3 turns. The effect is removed the next time a bonus attack is used. | A great set to increase damage from bonus hits. Will show its best side in Pure Fiction, when the effect of the talent "Fine, I'll Do It Myself" is triggered in each round. |
 | 2 parts: Ice damage increases by 10%. 4 parts: Critical Damage is increased by 25% for 2 turns after using an Ultimate. | A full set will increase the critical parameter for a couple of turns with the activation of the ult, which will also boost the character's bonus hits. This is an even bigger plus, since the ultimate rolls back quite quickly, which will allow you to keep the increase. Having chosen this set, it is easier to focus on the chance of critical hit and attack power. |
 | 2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%. 4 parts: Increases crit. 4% chance. The owner's crit damage dealt to enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs increases by 8%/12% respectively. After the owner applies a Debuff to an enemy, the above effects are increased by 100% for 1 turn. | A good option, for which you need to select a debuffer for the team. If the passive conditions are met, it increases the character's overall damage by a percentage, significantly strengthening it in any position. Also, the full set gives increases to crits, allowing you to focus on finding other characteristics in artifacts. |
  | 2 parts: Ice damage increases by 10%. 2 parts: Gives +12% attack power. 2 parts: Increases break effect by 16%. 2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%. | Until you have any of full sets, you can temporarily use 2 parts from the sets for the character - especially if their secondary stats have been successfully upgraded and have strong parameters. |
 | 2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 parts: Increases Crit. chance by 6%. After the owner performs a bonus hit, his super ability damage increases by 30%. This effect lasts for 1 turn. | Due to the peculiarities of bonus hit activations, when choosing this set, it is recommended to combine it with the Inert Salsotto ornaments set and use it against a large number of enemies. The set will enhance the heroine's superpower and help gain a critical chance. |
Planar ornaments
| Name | Effects | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
 | 2 parts: Owner's Critical Chance is increased by 4%. Defeating an enemy increases Critical Damage by 4%. This effect can stack up to 10 times. | A set of +40% critical damage, which will be fully revealed in battles with several waves of enemies. Due to the specifics of activating the bonus hit, the heroine often closes combat content suitable for the mechanics of Planar ornaments. Suitable for achieving a high value of the characteristic in the process of farming Calyxes and battling in "Pure Fiction". |
 | 2 parts: When allies perform a bonus strike, the wearer gains 1 level of Merit status, which stacks up to 5 times. Each level of Merit status increases the damage dealt by the wearer's bonus strike by 5%. Upon reaching level 5, critical damage is additionally increased by 25%. | A situational set of ornaments, as it is at its strongest when combined with characters in the group like Himeko, as well as in modes like Pure Fiction. If the conditions are met and the bonus is quickly activated, the set will turn out to be quite strong with several waves of enemies. |
 | 2 parts: Critical hit chance is increased by 8%. If the critical chance is not lower than 50%, then 15% is added to the damage of the ultimate and bonus hit. | Another priority set of planar artifacts, which gives an increase to the chance of a critical hit. For compliance with the condition, a large part of the damage will be passively increased. Depending on the parameters of the relics, the relevance of the set may decrease. |
 | 2 parts: Increases Crit Chance by 8%. If the owner's Crit Chance is 70% (or higher), the damage of his Basic Attack and Skill increases by 20%. | A good option that allows you to balance crit. parameters and enhances the skill, which is one of the most frequently used skills. However, this will require gaining at least 70% crit rate or providing additional gains during the battle from support characters. |
 | 2 parts: The owner's attack power is increased by 12%. If at the beginning of the battle there is at least one ally walking the same Path as the owner, crit. The owner's chance increases by 12%. | A boost to attack power and critical chance would be suitable for the owner of a space station in teams with other heroes of the Path of Erudition, for example, in conjunction with Himeko. If the girl plays exclusively with representatives of another path, more universal options should be considered. |
Team Guide for Herta in HSR
In a team, Herta of the 4⭐ rarity takes the role of a secondary damage dealer. Because of this, Path of the Hunt allies will suit her against bosses/elites or Destruction, and Erudition allies can be used for farming. Since she deals damage, in a team with her, for survivability, a character of Abundance with healing or Preservation with shields is necessary. Heroes of the path of Nihility or Harmony will be a great addition, strengthening allied heroes or debuffing enemies.
Which characters are suitable?
As a sub-dd, the girl can join a team with all heroes depending on the requirements and specific situations, but some work especially well with her:
| Character | Path | Damage type | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  | First available 5☆ hero, deals damage both in the area and on a single enemy. Out of combat, he is able to support the team and restore the health of allies. |
 | | | The character will provoke opponents, thus absorbing damage and protecting the team. The hero also plays from bonus attacks, which is useful not only in general, but can also be used when choosing a Path in the worlds of Simulated Universe. |
 | | | A damage dealer that deals decent damage to multiple targets and provides additional survivability due to the “Taunt” debuff. Focuses on constantly performing a counterattack using talent and ultimate when receiving incoming damage. |
 | |  | Ice damage dealer with high damage to one and several targets. Can go into a special state in which it receives enhancements: increased crit. chance and attack power, forward action and "explosive" skill. |
 | |  | A fire damage dealer that inflicts vulnerability to its element. Plays from break effect and requires using her skill each turn. |
 | |  | The hero can deal high damage to single targets, which will create a good synergy for activating the girl's talent. The ultimate's damage extends to nearby enemies, which will increase the chance of triggering the heroine's skill. The character himself becomes stronger from the loss of his own health. |
 | |  | Can act as both a main and a secondary damage dealer, supporting with her own DPS a more powerful representative of the damage-dealing Path. The main characteristic of the girl is break effect, therefore, she is extremely easy to build. |
 | | | Attacks with ice damage in the area, and with a certain chance can inflict freezing and lower defense (E2). He is not demanding when it comes to using skills, so he plays equally well in the positions of main and sub-DD. |
 |  | | When Seele doesn't have enough damage to finish off the opponent, the scientist with a talent proc when the target's health drops below half will come to the rescue. The hero has high speed and breaks through monsters vulnerable to the quantum element. |
 | |  | The scientist, as a free character, will be able to provide worthy support to Ratio, whose skills are aimed at single opponents. However, it is important to select a team in such a way that the young man himself does not experience a shortage of debuffs that affect enemies. Otherwise, his overall contribution will sag: bonus hits are the main source of Veritas's damage, playing exclusively from skills and superpowers is not his rotation. |

 | | | DPS hero specializing in bonus attacks. Receives huge advantages in combination with heroes who also know how to carry out bonus attacks. In addition, he can exist as an independent damage dealer, occupying a leading position in a team. |
 | |  | The Arbiter General excels at dealing with large enemies, relying on the bonus attack contained in the talent, skill, and super ability. Synergizes well with heroes that can deal additional damage, allowing you to gain charge "Flying Aureus" for the Ultimate. |
 | | | A strong damage dealer available from the start against single and large enemies, against several opponents he needs a hero like a scientist with AoE damage or another element. |
 | | | Breaks through shields that are weak to the physical element, accelerates and has the Sword Stance ability, which, under certain conditions, increases the character's damage. Deals massive damage to one target. |
 |  | | Being a hero of the Path of Erudition, he is able to deal not only typical area damage, but also one enemy with the help of the Lightning Lord. Will make a good team, acting as the main damage dealer. |
 | | | The two girls are a perfect match for each other. In particular, her legendary form deals high area damage with an enhanced skill and super ability, but requires another Path of Erudition character due to the mechanics. In addition, units that can attack frequently are useful for her, as this allows her to get more energy and gain stacks of "Interpretations" that further increase DPS. |
 | | | Ninja from the Galactic Rangers faction plays from break and specializes in depleting toughness. At the same time, she deals massive damage to all enemies on the battlefield on a stable basis with the help of the enhanced basic attack gained from the ultimate ability. If she or her allies break the weakness of enemies, she accumulates charges that further increase damage. |
 | | | A secondary DPS character who prefers to fight against groups of enemies: the number of opponents on the battlefield directly determines the rate of accumulation of charge levels, which allow you to perform bonus attacks. As a skill, assigns an allied character as a “Debt Collector,” which additionally increases his speed by 30. When Debt Collector makes an attack, they deal quantum damage equal to Jade's attack power to each enemy they hit. At the same time, the Debt Collector spends 2% of their max. HP. |
 | | | Copes well with large groups of enemies due to damage across the entire battle area, moreover, it restores energy for each hit on an enemy. During the battle, it accumulates levels of Apotheosis, each of which increases the Knight's critical chance. |
 | | | The standard fire DD in the area is the strongest combination against waves of monsters for fast farming. The bonus attacks of the characters' talents are so good together that they can launch each other in turn and destroy opponents even without auto-combat. |
 | | | Powerful early game DPS on multiple enemies and is also capable of inflicting Shock. Also has an ultimate with high AoE damage. |
 |  | | A versatile support that is an excellent support for the team in the form of increasing damage for characters, advancing the moves of allies and removing debuffs from them. |
 | | | Thanks to the third trace, the messenger receives additional energy when allies hit enemies. Considering that the ultimate is an important skill for both strengthening the team and dealing damage, the heroine plays best with Erudition characters. |
 | | | A representative of Harmony of the highest tier, whose skills are aimed at increasing outgoing damage, crit. damage and attack power. When used, the ultimate advances the action of all allies forward. The "Impromptu Flourish" trace increases crit. bonus attack damage, which makes Robin the best support for characters who play with this mechanic. |
 | | | The main advantage of Sparkle is not only the increase in crit. damage, as well as total outgoing damage. The Masked Fool directly affects the increase in the number of skill points used during battle, and also contributes to their accelerated recovery. |
 | | | A support character that provides an increase in all damage dealt, speed, and break efficiency. Great for dual-Damager teams, which pairs well with the Scientist, who often acts as a sub-DD. |

In battle, he is focused on increasing damage against enemies with a broken vulnerability, and therefore requires that the elements in the team match the weaknesses of the monsters. |

 | | | Wonderful 4☆ support that applies buffs to allies. Increases their attack power, regenerates their energy to use their superpowers, and inflicts Lightning damage with normal attacks. |
 |  | | A versatile hero of the Path of Nihility who has a wide variety of debuffs. However, her key feature is the ability to create a vulnerability in the enemy to a random element of one of the allies. |
 | | | Being a debuffer, has sufficient damage against several enemies, and also has the imaginary element. Postpones the turns of opponents and "applies" the Ensnare status on them. |
 | | | A powerful representative of Nihility, whose skills are aimed at applying the Ashen Roast debuff (considered the “Burn” DoT status, which causes periodic damage of the fire type). Enemies affected by Ashen Roast take increased damage. The ult, in turn, inflicts a high level of damage and also imposes a third-party debuff that increases the damage taken by opponents from ultimate DPS-type skills. |
 | | | Without having much damage of her own, reduces the defense of selected enemy targets and removes their buffs. Has the ice element, so combines well with units of the same element. |

 | | | Places shields and during the battle, renews them after activating his ult, as well as performing a bonus attack. Virtually no demands on skill points. In addition to providing protective functions, helps the team with damage. The perfect team for a character is the cooperation of several heroes who can perform bonus attacks. In other teams he is just as good, but performs bonus attacks a little less often. |
 | | | Acts as a tank: absorbs and transfers part of the damage dealt to allies. At the same time, can heal when the second trace is opened, and increase crit chance and HP with her skill. |
 | | | Will draw the attention of opponents to itself, while providing the team with shields. Has the mechanics of the Magma, in particular, thanks to which deals fire damage to several enemies. |

 | | | A free support from the mission, which can not only heal the entire team, but also the selected allied hero. The latter, however, extends over a couple of moves. With the improvement of a certain trace, it can remove a debuff from an ally with the use of a skill. Inflicts Weakness on opponents using a technique. |
 | | | An epic healer, not inferior to the legendary representatives of the Path of Abundance. Applies positive effects to passive healing, removes negative statuses from a team with an ultimate ability, and provides strong mass and solo healing. |
 | | | A unique representative of the healer path, whose healing depends on the negative statuses "Besotted" imposed on enemies. When allies hit opponents with this status, health is restored. |
Best team samples
With the above characters you can create a variety of teams:
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|  |  | | A team that is suitable for "Pure Fiction" and activities where it is necessary to fight groups of opponents. Himeko bonus attacks every time she accumulates 3 levels of "Charge", before that she deals damage with a skill and super ability. The legendary Herta will perfectly complement the team due to her stable mass damage. At the same time, both heroines help Aventurine accumulate lvls of "Blind Bet". Robin, Tribbie or Asta distribute mass buffs to combat stats. |
 | | | | A farming team led by the scientist and Himeko. Tribbie will increase break effect for all resistance types and overall damage, and will also deal damage to the area. Luocha will restore health and perform an ult attack on the area, simultaneously removing 1 buff from enemies. |
| | | | The basis of the team are the scientist and Topaz, who enhances bonus attacks. They can cope with waves of regular enemies on their own, the other two slots of the team are situational. We suggest using Feixiao, Clara or Yunli, who also have this mechanic, for the third slot. Add Lingsha/Gallagher last for healing or other support, or even a (de-)buffer. |
| | | | The basis will be Jing Yuan or a Destruction character, capable of dealing damage both in an area and individually. Place a hero who buffs allies on the third slot, and a healer or shielder on the fourth. In this case, the girl will deal secondary damage. |
|   | | | Team up with the Path of the Hunt representative who will deal the main damage to one enemy, causing the scientist's area-of-effect bonus to activate. They will be supported by a character who buffs allies (Harmony). For the last slot, choose a healing hero or tank, such as the fire Trailblazer or Lingsha. |
|  | | | You can use Silver Wolf as a debuffer, so that she creates ice or quantum vulnerabilities on the enemy. At the same time, any representative of the quantum element will do for the second DPS character slot (other elements also work, but then the chance of getting the desired weakness becomes lower). |
| | | | A team option with free characters that have different elements. Dan Heng will defeat large enemies or instantly destroy fragile targets, the main character will increase the DPS of the entire team. Serval or Misha will deal damage to the area and impose mass negative statuses. The scientist will finish off the monsters, Natasha will heal the team. |
| | | | Another budget team, in which the main DD will be the physical Trailblazer. Asta will speed up the team and boost the allies, while the owner of the space station will be able to destroy several targets at once. March 7 will save the lives of allies. |
| | | | With a similar team with balanced hero roles, you can use Freeze in Simulated universe and the path of Remembrance. For the usual exploration of the world, the team mono-cryo does not make much sense, so it is worth replacing half of the characters with other elements. For example, use the Fire Trailblazer instead of the Gepard, and Natasha in the place of Pela. |
