Let me know if anything is factually wrong.

Herald has a 2% to trigger their "Ire" whenever you kill a champion pack, superunique, or named monster.

Once Ire is triggered, each monster kill has a 1% to spawn a Herald. This Herald replaces the next mob of the aforementioned type that spawns.

Generally all mobs spawn within 2-3 screens of you, and the herald does not replaced already spawned mobs.

The numbers are not the issues in my optionen. Because if you farm S Tier zones I got often Heralds. The Problem I have with the mechanic is, that you have to wait for the S Tier zones - you can't leave your current game. I am in my game for like 6 hours now. The most time I wait.

Sure. As far I understood it, that if you get a "token" (ire) which will trigger an herald it is only for the current session. Then you have 5 Tiers for the heralds. The first herald that appear is tier 2, then tier 2 etc. now I have for like two hours always a tier 5 herald. In other words, if I leave the game I have to start from tier 1.

ok makes sense, I didn't know that it doesn't transfer to the next game. That's tedious and afaik not all zones can get a herald right?

Good question, but for me its feels like that the S tier zones have more then 2% to trigger the "ire". In the current tz (the chaos sanctuary) I had two "ires" and now I will get in the next tz two heralds.

It feels like moving to the next area can also spawn a herald

Once you see ire

You tele around till you trigger the next pack. You don’t need to kill anything more once you see ire.

It’s easy to keep the spawning happening. Especially when popping a shard

Drop rate is insane tho. I’ve downed about 75 of them at lease solo p 8. Nothing. So don’t hold your breath
