So far through all I have read about heralds I dont think I have seen this topic covered

When you get two ires without a herald spawning in between,
Or even when you het a herald to szwn, dont kill it, have another ire and another herald spawn
The heralds will be of the same tier.

It got me wondering : if I kill those two, will the third herald be +1 Tier or +2 ?

Today I got 2 ires very close, the first ires of the game.
Then spawned 2 heralds right next to each other.
I killed em.

Then got a third ire
Third herald spawn.

And it was Tier 3.

Have fun slaying

I had 2 ire before… the first one spawned as T1 and the second one spawned as T2

Which is normal if you killed the first herald before the second spawned.
I am talking about second herald spawning before you kill the first. Not ires.

Ahh ok… so yours was T1 + T1 .. then third one was T3

It skipped T2

This is the 3rd time this has happened to me, and on the two previous instances I didn't have the chance to spawn third herald, but as soon as the first time it happened it got me wondering.
And on the 2nd time I verified and both were Heralds of fright, which made me feel kinda scammed, but now knowing next herald is +2 I guess it's OK, especially if you dont spawn two T3 instead of one T3 and one T4, which then would feel bad.

each herald kill increases herald tier

if you spawn 2 heralds at the same time without killing a herald in between the next herald should be +2 tier if you kill both of them before you get the herald spawn message

I talked about this here:
