How to Defeat Void Herald: Evil Currents in Genshin Impact

Void Herald Fight: Evil currents can be divided into 2 phases: the damage phase and the shield phase. The second can cause serious difficulties at the first meeting or the unsuccessful composition of the group. First, let's take a closer look at the skills of Void Herald: Evil Currents.

Attacks and abilities

• Series of attacks. Herald creates a blade from the Hydro element and delivers three consecutive hits. To dodge the character is enough to break the distance.

• Water wheel. Herald creates two Hydro Blades and spins them in a circle to attack the hero with a dash forward. In the shield phase, use the skill 3 times in a row. Can deal a lot of damage. You need to dodge to the side, perpendicular to the direction of movement of the wheel.

• water blade. The Herald swings his blade, sending a blade of Hydro element at the player. In the shield phase, launches several waves in a row. To dodge, break the distance and move to the side.

• water cross. The Herald crosses its blades, firing a powerful projectile of Hydro element at the player. We lean to the side.

• hydro shield. When Herald of the Void: Evil Currents reaches approximately 10% health, he activates a Hydro Shield, making him invulnerable and enhancing his abilities. The shield itself can be destroyed, but is immune to Hydro damage.

• Jerk. The herald sharply reduces the distance with the character. Can only be used in the shield phase.

• Multi attack. Only triggers in the shield phase. The Herald begins to rapidly swing the Hydro Blades around him, dealing constant damage to the character. At the end of the move, it releases many water blades to the sides. When he swings his swords, it's best to just break the distance, as it's impossible to avoid them all the time (although having a shield makes all the difference). It is quite possible to dodge the second part of the attack with a jerk, but if you move away from the enemy earlier, with a high probability the blades will simply by.

Who to take in the squad on the Hydro Herald of the Abyss

The main problem with Void Herald: Evil Currents is his Hydro Shield. He is immune to Hydro damage, and therefore the characters of this element are a poor choice against the enemy. But Cryo heroes, on the contrary, will be very strong and will be able to quickly remove the Herald's shield. Best Options: Dione, thanks to the permanent Cryo status from his ultimate.

Pyro and Electro elemental characters are also well suited. Pyro: Fischl.

Separately, you can select the heroes who give the squad a shield: Noelle (only in the role of the main dd). The shield will allow the player to ignore most of the Herald's attacks and deal damage with ease.
