i have additional question
Is there any heralds with higher drop rate than others?
For example act 4-5?
Or every herald in every act can drop sunder charm with the same rate

Every herald can drop it, but they get + item rolls every tier.

Actually t5 heralds have very good drop table for other items too. Killed like 50 of them and got 1 sunder, arach, nw, tal armor, ik armor, shako etc. Its like killing p8 baal.

Heralds T4 and 5 have the TC dedicated to sunders
T1-2-3 can roll em but only thru the path of "Magic GC" turning into unique, then competing with Gheeds.
T4 and 5 also have this path but it is almost irrelevant compared to dedicated TC.

This is why people have been doing full game clears under shards.
The goal is to kill as many T5 heralds as possible, and since each Herald is T5 once you killed a T4, you dont have to "build up" anymore.
You can expect to spawn, on average, 16.9 heralds per game.

i think subsequent spawns, when the previous herald is killed, gets one tier higher, so after 4 heralds killed, every next one is T5

A Herald is a new, special elite monster that can spawn in Hell Terror Zones in Reign of the Warlock (ROTW). They have a very small chance to appear after you kill an Elite monster (Champion, Unique, Superunique or Boss monster) in a Terror Zone. Every time you kill a Herald monster, the next one spawns progressively stronger and tougher. There are five difficulty tiers of Heralds:

Tier 1 - Herald of Fright

Tier 2 - Herald of Dread

Tier 3 - Herald of Fear

Tier 4 - Herald of Horror

Tier 5 - Herald of Terror
