It’s said that she lives in the far edge of the Cosmos, almost never leaving. Sounds like her appearance this time…
…must be for some issue that requires a personal touch, right?

Character DetailsGenius Society #83, Madam Herta, resides deep within the Clock Tower at the edge of the cosmos, pursuing the ultimate mysteries of the universe as a sorceress.
Thanks to de-aging technology, she maintains a youthful appearance. Disliking mundane affairs, she typically delegates such tasks to her puppets.
Character Story: Part IProfile Number ██████
Curio Name: Genius' Childhood Kaleidoscope
Warning: Do not look into it! Do not look into it! Do not look into it!!!



















Do you really want to see?



















Are you sure?



















Nevermind. You've already scrolled this far down. I won't take responsibility for what happens to you.
Curio File
Genius Society #83, Madam Herta's private collection, with the Garden providing technical support. A memory slice only designed for the person involved to relive a beautiful time in a first-person POV.
Warning: Dangerous item. Do not gaze into it if you are not the one in the memory. Otherwise, you have a high chance of suffering an intense psychological assault.
Case studies: Two reviewers have privately looked into this. One of them started saying nonsense and no longer knew their own identity, while another could only repeat the words "Glory to Madam Herta!".
Researcher Comments
"'The fixed point is the cream-white bow of ribbons, the divergent series is like a necklace of daggers shining with a cold light. Convolution is like the wave of brunette hair, and fractals are the influence of bad mood. Infinity and infinitesimal are in a heated argument, so put them in diagonal's dress then pull them apart: Look, the most beautiful thing in all combinations is me...' — That's right. That's what that little girl said. Isn't it amazing? Ahahahaha. So amazing! Who am I? Where am I..."
— Statement from a reviewer
"The large room full of dolls has equations and symbols I've never seen before floating in it. They grow limbs, pull faces, and dance around her. She will open a wardrobe as tall as a castle and pick clothes for them. They all have their own characters and appear in different programs... When she finished calculating, my spirit instantly received a complete baptism — Glory to Madam Herta! Glory to Madam Herta! Glory to Madam Herta! Glory to Madam Herta..."
— Statement of a reviewer
Note
I saved this Curio so it's easier to review my beauty as a young woman. If you want to see it so much, then it's not my fault. I'll give you some advice: Find some Intelligentsia Guild books to counteract the stuff in their heads for these two unfortunates. They'll recover in no time.

Character Story: Part IIMemorial Symposium: Celebrating Madam Herta's ██th Birthday
Meeting Minutes, Topic One: A Retrospective of Madam Herta's Scientific Achievements
Meeting Minutes, Topic Two: Anecdotes and Stories from Madam Herta's Life
...
Meeting Minutes, Topic Five: Panel Discussion on "Exploring the Boundaries of Science and its Profound Implications"
...
Meeting Minutes, Provisional Topic: Moment of Silence. Breaking news from reliable media sources, Madam Herta has passed away...
Meeting Minutes, Provisional Topic 2: Madam Herta Makes an Unexpected Appearance and Delivers a Speech!
Madam Herta's Speech:
"Thank you all for your heartfelt condolences. Unfortunately, it seems I must disappoint some of you yet again."

"Are you... Madam Herta?"
"Is this a puppet of Madam Herta?"
"Did your paper on de-aging... actually work!?"
"Madam Herta, we need an explanation!"
...
Madam Herta cleared her throat and lifted her scepter aloft —
"It's all thanks to Magic."

"Madam Herta, hold on a moment!"
"It's impossible! The de-aging concept is purely theoretical. We're light-years away from actual application..."
"Science? Can she even be called a scientist anymore? That's just absurd!"
"Not to kill the vibe, but how do you always manage to make such a stunning entrance?"


"Pretty amusing, isn't it? The press loves to churn out fake news for headlines, while the old timers can't wait for me to bite the dust, hoping to prove my anti-aging theory is just a pipe dream."
She switches off the conference video and calmly resumes her afternoon tea.
"All your theories have been shown to have potential, yet... future scholars have never truly captured your essence, making replication impossible." The calm woman sips her tea.
"Logic: The so-called 'magic' of youth Madam Herta mentions is her biting satire. Deductive: The theory's core principles involve reversing energy and manipulating time, which requires exacting conditions. Computation: ..."
Her smile broadens as she slides a plum pastry across to the Intellitron, cutting off his monologue.
"Some truths don't need to be spoken. Here, have a treat."

* Unlocked at Character Level 40
Character Story: Part IIIOn the edge of the galaxy, within a desolate, lifeless star system, a mysterious tower flickers in and out of view amid a swirling vortex.

"I refuse to wear myself out in this sprawling mansion."
She surveyed the vast, empty room, signaling the puppets to approach.
With a series of cheerful clicks and whirls, they danced toward her —
"Madam Herta is a peerless gem!"
"Madam Herta is an unrivalled genius!"
"Madam Herta is an inimitable beauty!"
"Enough already, back to your tasks."
She dismissed them with a wave of her hand.
Three to scrub the floors, two to tend the gardens, and one...
"Brew some coffee. It's chilly today, and I need something warm."
The brown beans crunched under the grinder, hot water washed over them, and the dark liquid joyfully bubbled.
"Madam Herta, you've received an inquiry from the Intelligentsia Guild. They're challenging your..."
"Are they still fussing over my 'evident proof'? Just send them a few canned replies from the list."
"Madam Herta, Interastral Peace Corporation has sent an invitation..."
"Tell them their gadgets don't interest me."
"Madam Herta, the University of Veritas Prime wishes to name you an honorary professor..."
"Which institution is that again?"

...
Gradually, the puppets handled all mundane affairs, allowing her to vanish from the public eye.
Secluded at her tower's apex, she dismissed the external world to unravel the puzzles lingering in her thoughts.
"I wish to know, ████ ███ ██ █████ ██████?"
Thus, the First Mirror came into being.
"I wish to know, ████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ████?"
Thus, the Second Mirror gleamed into existence.
"I wish to know, ███ ███ █ ███ ████ ███████?"
Thus, the Third Mirror chimed succinctly.
"I wish to know, ███ ██ █ ███ ██████?"
Thus, the Fourth Mirror was formed with reverence.
Her whereabouts remained a mystery, as did her reasons for shunning the limelight. Yet, her provocative theories and speculations continued to stir endless discussions.

A long time passes. After she has completed her extrapolations, she seems unsatisfied.
"There are no more problems left to solve — this, in itself, is the greatest problem."
"Are you saying..."The mirror understands perfectly.
"Why don't we create more problems?"

Herta: ...I need to get THEM out first.
Simulated Universe: Madam Herta broadcasts to the entire Simulated Universe the answer to the Imaginary Overflow Question. Fail.
Simulated Universe: Madam Herta pinches her nose and broadcasts to the entire Simulated Universe a speech praising the Aeons. Fail.
Herta: Boring. I'm leaving.
Simulated Universe: THEY appear in the blink of an eye. THEIR form looms vast like a deity, with gears and cables intricately entwined in sublime complexity. THEY observe, calculate, and seek to know everything. THEY give questions, conduct proofs, and obtain answers. THEY do nothing else.
Simulated Universe: THEY know too much — You can ask THEM anything. Humans are so ignorant before THEM. Those tiny amounts of experience and knowledge in your head... They are pitifully small in volume.
Herta: So, only Nous would give me some respect.
Herta: Other humans view my thinking process as incomprehensible magic, and I view your thoughts in the same way. So, all-knowing being, ask me —
Nous: ██!
Herta: Please speak human.
Nous: THEY do not respond and remain silent.
Herta: ...
Herta: I have nothing to say, either.
Simulated Universe: You are instantly expelled by some force. The deepest secret of this universe is like an abyss with tentacles, dragging you into inescapable fear.
Simulated Universe: Herta has been forcibly logged out.



















Simulated Universe: Herta has re-logged.
Herta: Aha! I knew it was you
Nous?: THEY said "HAHA!" Hahahahaha!
Nous?: You bought that? Look. The computing power of the Simulated Universe is swarming here like the patterns of a rainbow lollipop.
Nous?: What? You are so sure that THEY won't reply with HAHA?
Herta: Heh, because Droidhead would never answer! Questions and doubts are the essence of thought. There is nothing that is forbidden, nothing serves as a boundary, and nothing is regarded as its end —
Herta: Unless THEY quit.



















Herta: But you can't just leave like this. As compensation, ask me a question — but no jokes allowed.
Aha: Whenever mortals think, Droidhead would laugh! Would you like to become a Masked Fool for me? Let me glance at you?
Herta: Get out. I want Idrila.

  1. I just really don’t like her E2… it feels…. lackluster, even if it were a trace, rather than an Eidolon.

    You get +1 interpretation to 1 enemy??? whoaaa that’s crazy! really….?

    Okay maybe I should look more at the latter effect instead. So she gets +1 Inspiration so she can fire off her empowered skill more often…. except… it requires you to hit 42 stacks (which firstly, is probably only happening in Pure Fiction~) and her BiS relic set (Scholar Lost in Erudition) will NOT empower any of the additional empowered skills you will fire off with this effect, and each one of these additional empowered skill activations will be consuming your interpretation stacks…

    At most this feels like it will be mildly beneficial in Pure Fiction, which is where she’s already supposed to be fine in… and it doesn’t really help her stack interpretation much more to compensate for these potential extra empowered skill activations…

    And most importantly – this E2 has a bit of anti-synergy with her rather good E1. As the E1 will fill in some of the interpretation stacks you’re missing, to help you cap out your multiplier without actually hitting 42 stacks on 1 target.

    Meanwhile, your E2 wants you to organically cap out 42 stacks on 1 target in order to gain the additional inspiration stack. Which, you’re then already capped out with 42 stacks on 1 enemy, making your E1 redundant for that turn. You get the anti-synergy with her BiS relic set’s damage bonus, and the really strangely lackluster +1 interpretation on 1 enemy? it all just feels kinda off?

    I understand how E2 will be a net positive in Pure Fiction, but with how awkward it is relative to other factors, It feels hard to justify it as an investment.
    Like why not just stop at E1?

    • you’ll get it easy in like every non single target boss lol it’s a good ass e2 who gaf if the relic set doesn’t synergise perfectly with it that’s still a free enhanced skill like all the time the ult rearranges the interpretation too like realistically as long as you can apply them well you’ll have a rlly good uptime on it lol it might not be good for like zero cycle demon type shit but for apoc shadow and whatever it’ll be busted

    • The stack limit is 42, but the kit doesn’t specify a cap on the stacks that are taken into account, meaning the E1 effect can calculate over 42 stacks making it not redundant.

      Yes the Enhance skill you get from E2 seems like it’ll be weaker than the one you get from ultimate, but it’ll still better than her base skill

    • Don’t listen to this clown. I borrowed someone’s The Herta E2 and she nukes harder and faster than Acheron. Don’t believe me? Now stop reading, open your game, and do The Herta trial. You should learn that the Interpretation is the nuke. Now imagine she has two of those, and after nuking, she AA herself. That is The Herta E2.

  2. Not sure how I feel about Herta’s need for another Erudition character in the team … if there were good combo’s with her it would be bearable, but the selection of Erudition characters doesnt synergize with her in any way.
    But looking at the numbers youre losing out on a lot of dmg if youy dont use a second one… really annoying choices here. Not sure if I like the ideas behind it.

    • wdym? madam herta synergize well with most erudition units, even with himeko and argenti. Remember himeko+herta back in early PF? Double erudition isnt a restriction at all, as long as it work. Her BiS in MoC & AS is jade or serval, and in PF it could be anyone (except qingque), as long as they can act frequently. You dont have to worry about dmg loss as madam herta buffs the entire party with 80% cdmg. Mind you that this is slightly behind sparkle’s skill buff (hers is around 90-100% cdmg).

      Theres a talk how there could be another erudition unit (potentially screwllum) that could have more synergy with her, but IMO its better not to have high hope on it as theres not even a slight confirmation on it. For all we know they could have as much synergy as everyone else. We likely going to have BiS support than BiS erudition for madam herta

      • If I’m correct, madam Herta’s CD buff will also affect Sparkle, and in turn, improve the latter’s buff — similar to in a superbreak team, Ruan Mei’s teamwide DMG% is calculated based on her BE after buffs such as her own passive, Watchmaker, Harmony MC (whose BE is affected by RM’s passive and Watchmaker), and etc., — combined with how eruditions tend to want to use their E often, Sparkle might be a really good teammate for madam Herta.

    • double dps teams exist btw.
      also trace gives 80% critdmg (for now) to everyone, not only herself? i dont see any issues in running double erudition with party wide buffer, considering how much she herself provides. Plus you actually want active unit with lots of targets hit due to her having trace that likes when lots of enemies getting hit simultaniously. She herself has enough stuff to sinergize with any other erudition. I would agree if it would be Acheron type moment, where you need team almost exclusevily build out of Erudition units, but you need only one extra instead of 2.
      Plus…. Herta and The Herta. Also maybe later they will add sustain Herta and buffer Herta (copium)

    • TLDR;

      team need to attacks as frequently and as much enemies as you can to apply stacks on enemies and to give madam herta energy. Ult deal more dmg based on how much stacks applied on enemies

      madam herta can use ult to advance her next turn and to make her next skill to perform enhanced skill instead

      after performing enhanced skill, additionally deal dmg based on stacks on enemies. When theres at least 2 erudition unit in the team, the dmg is doubled. Afterward, reset all stacks on enemies to 1

      when theres at least 2 erudition unit in the team, everyone gain cdmg buff

      • Just a couple of additions for clarity:

        With 2 erudition units the overall damage of her empowered skill isn’t doubled, but the bonus multiplier gained from the stacks IS doubled.

        After using her empowered skill, it doesn’t reset ALL stacks on enemies to 1. It only resets the stacks of just the target enemy to 1 (the one target you select, the target her empowered skill checks for stacks to calculate the damage multiplier).

        Sorry if it seems nitpick-y, but these details do make a huge difference~
        Otherwise, spot on! 🙂

  3. Im wondering would a Herta team be better with sunday or RMC
    cause sunday gives a lot of energy + great crit stat, but RMC gives stacking via the summon + decent crit stats + ocasional advance with a true dmg bonus per hit (wich herta has a LOT)
    i dont have jade so my f2p harmony would be herta puppet so RHC could help the stacking process and clear up sunday for JY.
    the only problem would be i cannot use HMC and RMC at the same time so FF and rappa would be hurt in the process

    • Her talent already gives her and her allies crit dmg so long as there is another Erudition unit on the team, and one of the planner set gives out crit rate, so over all not bad but it is indeed less crit stat to her if she did have them. Anyways, since she is a crit dps anyway, crit buffers would always be a part of her team, like Sunday or RMC (gives cd on their base kit and provide cr on their e1)

    • She has 80% crit dmg for the whole team if there’s another erudition which is pretty much guaranteed anyway since she wants lots of aoe to charge her ult, that makes up for not having crit in her minor traces

    • I mean she does have 80% crit damage built in, a BiS relic set that gives a bunch of damage bonus and 8% crit rate, and another BiS relic set that gives 12% atk and 12% crit rate, not to mention the absurd amount of atk she gets, and that her whole kit revolves around building up these enormous atk multipliers.

      She is getting an abundance of stats for free, even before talking about teams and Light Cones. Don’t even get me started on her damage potential once we start bringing in def ignore and all-type res ignore from outside supports~

  4. Would her best 4-star LC be:
    Today is another peaceful day (S1)
    Make the world clamor (S3-ish)
    Geniuses’ Repose (S1)
    The seriousness of breakfast (S5)

    • her ult has a really high energy cost, so the QQ lightcone is probably pretty good on her. And that A6 trace is a multiplier increase, so it’s a separate buff bracket from the Serval lc…

      … I guess I’m gonna have to give you the least helpful answer: they all seem pretty good.

      • I got so many World Clamor I have two S5 + one S4… If it’s a good option for her, I’ll be happy =D (plus there is Serval on it <3)
        Otherwise, I have the BP one S5 as well.
