5 Best Herta Light Cones In Honkai: Star Rail

The Seriousness of Breakfast

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 476
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
• Base HP (LVL 80): 846
• Effect : Adds 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% to the wearer’s DMG. The wearer’s ATK goes up by 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, or 8% for every enemy they beat, and this can happen up to 4 times.

The Seriousness of Breakfast is a notable light cone that increases Herta’s overall damage in most situations. It is also a fully free-to-play option, which makes it even better. This makes it a great choice for players who want to make a free-to-play team without using gacha figures or light cones. By doing things like clearing Forgotten Hall and Echo of War, players can get enough Lucent Afterglow over time to easily max out this light cone, making Herta an even more versatile DPS character. This light cone is especially useful when farming content with multiple waves because it also has an affect that stacks ATK.

The Birth Of Self

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 476
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 330
• Base HP (LVL 80): 952
• Effect : Damage done by the wearer’s next attack is increased by 24%/30%/36%/42%/48%. If the enemy you’re attacking has less than 50% of their Max HP left, your next hits do 16%/20%/24%/28%/32% more damage.

The Birth Of Self shows Herta on its artwork and tells us more about her in the story. In terms of gameplay, players can see that this light cone is made to work well with Herta’s kit by making follow-up attacks more damaging, especially when an enemy has less than half of its full health. Since Herta’s follow-up attack happens when an enemy’s HP falls below half. She can easily use The Birth of Self’s secondary effect.

This makes it a great choice when Herta is meant to be a secondary damage dealer on the team. The main problem with this light cone, though, is that it doesn’t work as well in fights with no or few waves, like most boss fights, because Herta can only use her follow-up move once per enemy unless that enemy can heal itself. Also, since this light cone doesn’t help Herta’s final or skill in any way, it might not be the most useful choice.

Today Is Another Peaceful Day

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 529
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 330
• Base HP (LVL 80): 846
• Effect : When the wearer goes into fight, their DMG goes up based on their Max Energy. Up to 160 Energy, each point of Energy adds 0.2%/0.25%/0.3%/0.35%/0.4% to DMG.

Even though Herta can only use up to 110 energy, which is less than many other Erudition characters. She can still use Today Is Another Peaceful Day well. This light cone gives her 22% more damage no matter what, even without any stacking. This makes it similar to the max-stacked Seriousness of Breakfast and The Birth of Self, especially for players who want to use her whole kit. Including her Skill and Ultimate, more often and not just depend on her follow-up attack. Today Is Another Peaceful Day can be used in both secondary DPS and main DPS builds for Herta. But it’s important to know that this light cone is only available to players who are ready to spend real money on the game, since the only way to get it is to buy Nameless Glory.

Night on the Milky Way

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 582
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
• Base HP (LVL 80): 1164
• Effect : The wearer’s ATK goes up by 8%/10%/12%/14%/16% for every enemy on the field, up to 5 times. When Weakness Break is used on an enemy, the wearer’s DMG goes up by 24%/30%/36%/42%/48% for one turn.

Night on the Milky Way is another good choice for players who want to get the most out of Herta’s kit. Because it boosts her ATK and DMG in a way that doesn’t just affect one part of her kit. It works well in all situations, but especially when fighting bosses like Cocolia. Who often call on more enemies to fight with them. It can be helpful in fights where the enemy is weak to Ice, letting Herta use the weakness break mechanic herself. However, Geometry Dash Subzero players can also equip it on Herta and rely on other team members with appropriate elements to target the enemies’ weaknesses. But since Himeko is better off with Night on the Milky Way, which is a 5-star choice, players may want to use this light cone on Himeko if they have both, or on Herta with one of the 4-star options.

Before Dawn

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 582
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
• Base HP (LVL 80): 1164
• Effect : The wearer’s CRIT DMG will go up by 32%/40%/48%/56%/64%. Adds 20%/25%/30%/35%/40% to the wearer’s Skill and Ultimate DMG. Somnus Corpus is given to the user after they use their Skill or Ultimate. When a follow-up attack is triggered, Somnus Corpus is used up. And the damage of the next attack goes up by 48%/60%/72%/84%/96%.

Before Dawn, which is Jing Yuan’s signature light cone, is also a good choice for Herta. It has special benefits like increasing Crit DMG for the wearer and improving skill and ultimate DMG. Herta can also do follow-up strikes, so she can use the third ability of this light cone. Which makes her follow-up attacks do a lot more damage. Even though she might not be able to use this affect often in some situations, every part of this light cone works well with Herta’s skills, making it an excellent choice for those looking for the best option for her.
