Note that the information below about The Herta's kit are leaks and may not represent her final version.
The Herta - Skills and Kit
Up until now, the Hertas that we have been interacting with in the Space Station have been puppets. She is member #83 of the Genius Society, alongside fellow geniuses Ruan Mei and Screwllum.
She is also an Emanator of Nous the Erudition. Other Emanators we've already met include Phantylia (Emanator of Destruction), Acheron (Self-Emanator of Nihility), and Jing Yuan (Emanator of the Hunt).
As a playable character, The Herta is a 5-star Ice Erudition unit. Her 4-star self is of the same Element and Path but with a lower rarity. Otherwise, she is the first of this exact archetype. She is thus expected to be a direct upgrade to her 4-star self. How fitting.
