Abyss Herald’s Attack Pattern
When you want to defeat an enemy, the first thing you must know is the attack pattern. Because without knowing how the Abyss Herald’s skills and abilities are, then you will find it difficult to avoid the attacks it launches.
Here are some attack patterns that can be done by the Abyss Herald:
- Annihilation: Cross attack with Hydro element.
- 3 Sweep Combo: 3x Hydro knife attacks in a row.
- Abyssal Roar: Spins attack 4 times in a row.
- Hydro Shield: Forms a Hydro Shield to withstand damage.
- Decimate: Hydro knife thrown at you.
- The End is Night: Hydro’s 8-blade attack at close range.
Weaknesses of the Shield Abyss Herald
One of the most troublesome things about the Abyss Herald is the shield it has. When he has activated his hydro shield, the attacks we give will be absorbed and have little impact on him.
So what are the weaknesses of the Abyss Herald’s shield? Because its form is a hydro shield, it will be weak against Cryo elements. You can use some cryo character attacks to damage it, such as:
- Diona’s or Ganyu’s cryo arrow attacks.
- Kaeya’s elemental skill explosion.
- Another Cryo elemental attack.
Therefore, when you fight the Abyss Herald, it is highly recommended to bring at least one Cryo character. When he activates his shield, immediately switch to Cryo character. If you use other elements, it will take a long time to weaken the shield.
