The 5-star Herta will appear in Honkai: Star Rail in 2025
HoYoVerse does release Drip marketing for The Herta, who will be a 5-star version of the existing 4-star Herta character. Like the other Herta, she will be an Ice Erudition unit.
This is the true original version of Herta, as opposed to the puppets we’ve met so far. According to her character description, the reason why she is “The” Herta is because she dislikes the Intellectual Association’s “Herta Prime” proposal, as it implies that she is an existence separate from his puppets. Please note, the original Chinese version calls her “Big Herta” while the Japanese version calls her “Mrs. Herta.”
Herta’s 5-star version may appear in Honkai: Star Railway Version 3.0 (or Version 2.8), as we know it Fugue And Sunday will be 5-star characters for the upcoming patch 2.7. As for the kit, we’ll have to wait until she debuts in the game. Even though the 4-star version specializes in follow-up attacks, that doesn’t mean the 5-star version does too. After all, other characters with variations in the game (like Dan Heng or March 7) don’t retain the same Paths fighting style or rarity.
Herta’s voice actors are Haruka Yamazaki (Japanese) and Hau Tieu Phi (Chinese). Yamazaki’s previous roles include Tomoyo in When supernatural battles became popular and Grani is inside Arknights. Meanwhile, Hou’s roles include Jessica in Arknights and Belle is inside Non-Zen zone. The English voice actress does not appear on the English or Chinese drip marketing channels (perhaps due to the ongoing strike). But Patty Mattson provided the voice for the original 4-star Herta.
Honkai: Star Railway To be available on PS5, Windows PC and mobile devices. Herta’s 5-star version will likely launch next year Honkai: Star Railway in January 2025.
