Into the Unreachable Veil in Honkai Star Rail is tailored for The Herta, as it provides all the crucial stats required by the character. For starters, the Light Cone is equipped with a high Base ATK, which helps with the overall scaling.

The passive further increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 12%. After using the Ultimate, the character will receive a 60% damage boost for their Skill and Ultimate ability. If the ability consumes 140 or more energy, they will recover a Skill Point.

Since you will want to use The Herta’s abilities as frequently as possible, the Skill Point recovery will be beneficial.

If you have pulled Argenti’s signature Light Cone, An Instant Before A Gaze in Honkai Star Rail, use it to build The Herta. The LC increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 36%. Additionally, the damage dealt by the character’s Ultimate is increased based on their Max Energy, after they use the ability.

Since The Herta’s Ultimate has a high energy cost, she can utilize the bonus effect from An Instant Before A Gaze. The additional CRIT DMG will also empower her attacks.
