Pre-Farming The Herta in HSR 3.0: Your Complete Ice Queen Prep Guide! ❄️

OMG you guys, the leaks are REAL and I’ve been grinding non-stop for The Herta! 🤯 As a true HSR addict, knowing we can pre-farm EVERYTHING for her right now before Version 3.0 drops is a game-changer. She’s not just another doll—she’s the actual Genius Society legend finally becoming playable as a 5-star Ice Erudition DPS queen! Let’s dive into how to get her battle-ready DAY ONE.

⚠️ Pre-Farm Reality Check

First things first: Yes, all her mats are currently farmable! But remember, these are LEAKS. HoYo could change requirements during beta. Pre-farming = high reward, medium risk. If leaks hold? Instant Ascension to Lv. 80 + max Traces the second you pull her! If they change? Well… at least Cores are universal currency. 🙃

❄️ Essential Ascension Mats Breakdown

Here’s what our icy genius needs to shine:

• Core Family Trio (Extinguished/Glimmering/Squirming):

• 🎯 Farm Spot: Calyx (Golden) on Xianzhou Luofu (FASTEST!)

• 💡 Pro Tip: Use Omni-Synthesizer to upgrade lower-tier Cores!

• Also drops from Assignments, Simulated Universe mobs, Embers Exchange

• Dream Fridge x65:

• ❄️ Ice专属 Ascension Mat!

• 🗺️ Farm: Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Nectar (Reverie, Penacony)

• Bring strong Fire/Wind DPS—this boss hits HARD.

✨ Trace Materials Deep Dive

Prepping her skills? Stockpile these:

Material	Where to Farm	Quantity Needed (Est.)
Rough Sketch	Calyx (Crimson): Bud of Erudition	18+
Dynamic Outlining	(Penacony Grand Theater)	69+
Exquisite Draft	Same as above ↑	139+ (yes, REALLY 😭)
Auspice Sliver	Echo of War: Inner Beast (Xianzhou)	8
Tracks of Destiny	Simulated Universe (Weekly) / Events	8

Key Notes:

• Auspice Sliver is weekly-locked! Start NOW—only 3 runs/week!

• Bud of Erudition Crimson Calyx is PAINFUL. Bring AoE units!

• Tracks of Destiny? Hoard event rewards + SU weekly clears religiously.

💰 Don’t Forget the Credit Sink!

Fully maxing her? You’ll need MILLIONS of Credits. Grind:

• Calyx (Golden): Bud of Treasures (Xianzhou Luofu)

• Double-dip: Farm Credits + Core mats simultaneously! Efficiency win! 🏆

🌟 Why Herta’s Special Among 3.0 Characters

Here’s the tea ☕: Compared to Aglaea & Remembrance TB (who need NEW Penacony mats), Herta is the ONLY 3.0 char with 100% pre-farmable kit! If you want a head start? She’s your golden ticket.

🤔 Final Thoughts: To Pre-Farm or Not?

I’m dumping ALL my Trailblaze Power into her mats—high risk, high reward baby! But what about you?

• Are you grinding cores while watching Netflix?

• Saving SU immersifiers for Tracks?

• Or playing it safe until 3.0 official drops?
