Best Herta team comp in Honkai Star Rail

The best team comp for Herta uses Bailu, Pela, and Kafka. Herta can act as a great main DPS in this team comp with her ability to freeze and deal high DMG to multiple targets.

Pela and Kafka also possess powerful attacks but they can make the biggest impact on the battlefield by using their combined debuff abilities to weaken enemies. Kefka’s Shocked debuff is particularly effective as it applies 64% of her ATK as Lightning DoT to enemies at the start of their turn – this makes her a good Sub DPS alongside Herta, while Pela acts as a solid support.

Bailu is a perfect healer in this team comp with her Skill providing multiple heals. With this combination, you’ll be weakening enemies quickly enough for Herta’s multi-target attacks to wipe the battlefield clean in no time at all.
