Players should pay attention to the new illustrations inHonkai: Star Rail2.6’s Simulated Universe if they want to better understand how the rumored 5-star version of Herta may end up looking once she is announced and released. There have long been rumors of Herta’s true form making a debut in HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG under the guise of a playable 5-star character in the future. The leaks aboutHerta’s 5-star form inHonkai: Star Railhad been limited to her rarity and speculation on a few of her possible abilities, but now new information seems to be arising.
Some rumors even predict a Version 3.0 release, but there are also in-game additions that seem like deliberate teasers being showcased by the developer ahead of the reveal of the character’s true form. So far, players have only met Herta through the several puppets she made in her own image to work in Herta Space Station. While the puppet version of Herta is a fully playable 4-star character, the rumors indicate Herta herself will be playable in the future as a 5-star character. She is expected to be an independent character, the same way Imbibitor Lunae is to Dan Heng.

In-Game Artwork Could Provide Design Details For 5-Star Herta In Honkai: Star Rail
5-Star Herta Could Be A Tall Character
This new image comes in addition to the previous artwork for the in-game event that features a teaser of Herta’s true form. In the previous artwork,the character’s full body sketch was seen, showing what seems to be a much taller character than the already-known 4-star version of Herta.
