Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases Herta True Form’s Kit
A new leak shared by trusted HoYoverse leaker HomDGCat is revealing Herta’s true form’s kit following her release. Herta’s Skill deals Ice damage to one enemy and applies a “Clue” stack before dealing another round of damage to the enemy and its adjacent allies, with an enhanced version adding a third attack hitting all enemies. Herta’s Ultimate deals AoE Ice damage and gives her an additional turn, buffing her ATK and unlocking her Enhanced Skill. Her Passive utilizes the Clue stacks to provide more damage, with enemies also gaining Clue stacks at the start of the battle.

Herta’s true form is currently expected to launch sometime following the debut of Honkai: Star Rail‘s fourth world.
The potential real version of Herta comes as Honkai: Star Rail is quickly approaching the debut of its next playable world. HoYoverse has not yet shared any official details about the game’s fourth world, though leaks have begun to tease some of the enemies appearing in Honkai: Star Rail‘s next world. Star Rail‘s previously announced Fate/Stay Night crossover is also expected to arrive next year, with rumors that franchise mainstay Archer may become playable. Honkai: Star Rail looks to have a busy year ahead in 2025 between its new world and an exciting crossover.
