Herta Bonds: Your Ticket to Not Being Broke in Honkai Star Rail (Unless You Impulse Buy That Shiny Lightcone)
Ah, Herta Bonds. The currency that separates the "look at my awesome 5-star Lightcone" whales from the "begging for scraps in Herta's dumpster" peasants (like me, but hey, self-deprecation is hilarious!). But fear not, fellow spacefarer on a budget! This guide will be your roadmap to navigating the thrilling (and slightly soul-crushing) world of Herta Bond farming.
Act 1: The First Steps (and the Easiest Ones, Thank Aether)
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
- Conquering the Simulated Universe: This is basically Herta's personal theme park, and the good news is, they pay you to ride the rides (virtually, of course). Every first-time clear of a world throws a couple of Herta Bonds your way. Just remember, difficulty increases with each world, so prepare to dust off those dodging skills and level up your best team.
Act 2: The Grind is Real (But We Can Grind with Style!)
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.

- The Weekly Simulated Universe Hustle: So you've conquered the theme park. Now what? Well, fret not, for Herta throws you a weekly challenge. Rack up points by exploring those same worlds (even if it's your 100th time battling a space slug), and reach a specific score threshold. Each week, you'll be rewarded with a single, glorious Herta Bond. It ain't much, but hey, beggars can't be choosers, especially when those beggars are staring down the barrel of a limited-time lightcone that looks suspiciously like a disco ball.
Act 3: Pro Tips for the Discerning (and Slightly Desperate) Player
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
- Master the Art of Efficiency: Every minute counts in the Herta Bond hustle. So streamline your exploration! Focus on the high-point areas and don't get sidetracked by those darn space butterflies (unless they're worth a ton of points, then by all means, chase those fluttery fiends!).
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Certain characters and lightcones can significantly boost your score in the Simulated Universe. Do some research, find that perfect combo, and watch those points skyrocket (almost as fast as your tears when you accidentally spend your hard-earned Herta Bonds on the wrong thing).
Remember: Patience is key, fellow spacefarers. Don't get discouraged if that 5-star Lightcone seems lightyears away. With dedication (and maybe a sprinkle of good luck), you'll be swimming in Herta Bonds and looking fabulous in no time. Just resist the urge to buy everything that sparkles. You've been warned.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
