    Correction (for 6:10 to 6:39): As clarified in the comments, Herta in fact does factor in how many enemies drop below 50% hp and her follow up attack deals instances of damage equal to the number of enemies that registered dropping below 50%. The part where I was referring to her only being able to follow up attack once was in reference to how the actual proc itself only happens once. So she can spin multiple times if multiple enemies drop below 50% hp in one turn, it's just in the same activation and not over multiple activations. It's still completely hamstrung by the inability to proc it more than once per target, making it completely useless vs single target bosses. I admit my mistake in the number of follow up hits, but the only situation where that actually matters is in situations that don't actually matter (i.e. farming calyxes). Thank you for the clarification though!

      Erudition units right now is starting to get obsolete. Destruction units also possess AoE damage and can even outdamage them with easier conditions to fulfill than Erudition units.
      Clara's enhanced counters and skill deals a lot of AoE damage more than Erudition units especially when she lands on marked ones and all she needs is to get hit.
      Blade absolutely crushes AoE clearing because of his SP neutral buff and the follow up attack.
      Jing Yuan is the only one that is relevant right now because of his inflated numbers although it requires a lot of setup.

      @tlmcarjustarandomduck3981 11 місяців тому +1

      Basically it only proccs the aoe once per enemy, so when it’s a single enemy it’s only one activation unless they call in more enemy which means harder fights and dragging it out longer if you want hearts to be main dmg dealer which is why it’s not that good because unless they rework her passive or something it’s only good at farming because farmings actually have “wave” contents which she would be good at due to number of enemies… ya know… her passive actually works then

    • @tlmcarjustarandomduck3981
      @tlmcarjustarandomduck3981 11 місяців тому +7

      Which is why people are using her in the MoC and stuff.. the boss basically summons it’s own wave every other turn when the minions die, so Herat would do quite the dmg when built because that’s like the one scenario where it would be insane, she’s Seele when that happens, basically it’s a niche character now, like venti, good at wave contents
      Wanted to make a stance for Herta… now I think you shouldn’t build her just for the situation unless you really like her charachter and kit or have unlimited time and resources somehow. So have fun I think imma go back to Herta Himeko farming now…

    • @renno2679
      @renno2679 11 місяців тому +5

      I think it's obvious that Herta and Himeko were made for Calyxes. They're both "lazy" or can't be bothered by trivial tasks. They shine in gold calyxes, but suck elsewhere. Their combo essentially allows auto battle without turning on auto battle.

    You know, no one plays her but Herta can surprisingly hold her own against the Abundance Deer. Their main weakness is Ice and they summon multiple branches. Killing off those branches first before the deer charges its attack is crucial and Herta can deal no problem thanks to her AOE DMG.

    • @nyx4074
      @nyx4074 11 місяців тому +78

      Hmmm, maybe. But I don't think killing off those branches is crucial. Killing it off will only make the Deer spawn them again and even if you can destroy it fast, you'll prolong the cycles. Might as well just ignore it and keep attacking the Deer. Should be fine with healer / Gepard.

    I feel like from a canon perspective, it makes sense that Herta isn’t super strong, because that’s not the actual Herta, but a puppet that she controls from some unknown place.
    I imagine that there’s a possibility that we meet actual Herta at some point, and she’ll be a hell of a lot stronger than her puppet.

    I love how it completely changed with the release of Pure Fiction and how an AOE follow-up attack that you basically get with her permanently is op in it. Everyone (including me) are scrambling to build the apparently worst units (Herta and Himeko) to get better clears in Pure Fiction LUL

    • @rovinteyvat4706
      @rovinteyvat4706 5 місяців тому

      Didn't really change anything. Her multipliers are still bad, her talent is still situational. The only thing that made her viable is due to the enemies' HP in Pure Fiction being almost the same as in the farming nodes (aka Calyxes).
      So yeah, Pure Fiction is just really designed for Erudition characters in general. Also, if Pure Fiction somehow adds more stages and the enemy HP there increases, the threshold for her multipliers may be reached and it'll be much harder for her to out DPS those stages.
      But for now, she is the cheapest alternative, that's without a doubt.

    The biggest problem with Herta is because the one thing that sets her apart from the other free Erudition characters, her follow-up attacks, are INCREDIBLY limited.
    If she was more like Himeko and could trigger them off of weakness break, she'd probably be in a much better place meta wise.

  • @jicsboli06
    @jicsboli06 11 місяців тому +36

    But she really does proc her talent for each enemy that drops below 50%. So if 5 enemies drop below 50% at the same time, she procs her talent 5 times at once. Her follow up attack can even proc more follow up attacks for each additional enemy that drops below 50%. You can even try it right now. The current event, Tales of Fantastic, Scene 1, she has a built trial version along with trial Himeko, which actually clears the multi-wave nature of enemies. She does have her uses, but not really for drawn out fights.

    Forgive me for misunderstanding, but doesn't Herta spin 5 times if you hit 5 enemies below half at the same time? The follow-up attack even triggers itself if the first one hits an enemy below half. But yeah, her main issue is getting a whole 1 proc per boss fight.

      Not… too sure what you are talking about there. Herta’s follow-up does much more damage than her skill and ultimate as long as you have a second AoE character and are fighting against three+ enemies.
      Her numbers are pretty poor in comparison, but Herta becomes overwhelmingly powerful if you are farming mobs and are not fighting singular boss enemies.
      Even then, she is also very strong when you are using Elation Blessings in SU. Even a single activation can dish out almost 30% _even_ to a (relative levels) boss if to have the right blessings.

    the same way we have both Dan Heng and Lunae in HS as different units in the game I want to believe the the REAL Herta is an upcoming character who will live up to her reputation as one of the members of Genius Society, what we're playing with as of now is one of her hundreds of puppets that she dispatches for mundane chores around the station, which is why she's so underpowered.
    think of the real one being able to use the puppet's kit but hundreds of times better, or use the puppets as her kits like characters from Naruto can use them as weapons

    It would be nice to see her talent changed to be every 25% increment once per turn end instead of 50% hp once per enemy

  • @KenSevus
    @KenSevus 9 місяців тому +2

    The thing that could slightly impove Herta is if her talent was more of a "whenever an enemy's HP drops below 50% Herta will perform a follow-up attack multiplied by the total amount of enemies below 50% HP" it wouldn't include enemies that are eliminated but it would still give her a dps boost for every enemy that is still alive.
    Or make her do a follow-up attack when an enemy's toughness breaks (kinda like Himeko's talent but on a 4* character).
    Herta received some love with the addition of Swarm Disaster, where she can shine with Remembrance Path, but that is a very niche thing.
    Besides, as long as you add Disassociation blessings in your other path runs, you can easily replace Herta with any other AoE character as long as you have March in your team.

    I've been pretty impressed with the amount of free characters you get you even get a 5 star not to far in for no money. Also I started about a couple of weeks in but still got serval, so the list of free starter players are
    Trailblazer physical - standard by the books kit
    Dan heng- a hunt character that is honestly pretty useful early on since he deals relatively good damage and could be your only wind for a while ,
    March 7tha pretty consistent single block tank that like the future trailblazerfire she's best in either a nice role or as a bit support to another healer or in the future other tank units as her kit on her own without a healer or 2nd tank isn't really good enough to be the teams only option
    Serval- straight forward unit that uses multiple enemy dmg attacks while also having intrinsic shock/DoT built in without the need to weakness break
    Herta , you covered most in thus vid, she's basically what serval is for DoT she's for follow up asks, introductions to these concepts ai. Units builds but not exactly the best at them
    Asta- a support with atk built in in the form multi hit asks that's strong for weakness break so she helps players learn this concept as well as speed and turn manipulation.
    Natasha- a standard healer , basic atk, skill heals 1 player and ultimate heals all characters not much more to it in terms of game play

      Yes, Erudition being compared to the Hunt for single-target damage is a peak display of mobile game player brains.
      Erudition is great when bosses resummon smaller enemies, and Herta even gets to deal extra damage to the boss itself with each follow-up.
      Silver Wolf is great for her, too.

    6:37 She does spin multiple times when she downs enemies to bellow half HP tho, the assessment on this part of her kit is wrong, she does not go for multiple separate spins yes, but she spins more times on that one attack
    Also a lot of people have the misconception that her MAIN DPS lies on her spinning, that's wrong too, although that is her unique trait and what you'll usually want to bring her for, both her ult and her skill deals WAY MORE dmg than her spin, so what your chosen lightcone buffs is very important too

    She's a victim to being in a low priority character in a low priority path.

    She is HIGHLY dependent on her signature light cone in order to deal any amount of damage whatsoever with Puru Puru. Perhaps the nerf was based on the fact that with S5 "The Birth of Self," she actually might do some decent damage with Puru Puru. However, if you never draw that light cone at all, her Pururin follow-up attacks will hit like a wet noodle with those craptastic multipliers.

    Like Himeko, Herta should have a another way to trigger her follow-ups against elites and bosses. Aside from that, her skill should have another function when it deals damage to enemies under 50% since it no longer has any bonus damage; then again, you could just spam her basics since it deals extra damage to those enemies but then she wouldn't be doing her role as an aoe dps.

    Herta is very good at dealing with problems we simply don't see all that often. And people who can afford to reliably get characters out of gacha banners have received some tools which are overpowered in the sense that the game isn't trying hard to counter them. As long as that remains true, some of those supersede Herta's abilities. She's entirely solid, but this game's combat system feels like the entire point is to completely break it in one way or another, and she just doesn't stretch that far.
