Mastering the Double Herald Strategy in Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2's Double Herald setup, combining Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder, creates a devastating chain reaction, clearing screens with a single hit. While understanding the intricate interactions isn't mandatory, it enhances build crafting. This guide details implementation and mechanics.

Implementing the Double Herald Setup

Four key elements are required:

1. Herald of Ice Skill Gem linked with Lightning Infusion Support Gem.
2. Herald of Thunder Skill Gem linked with Cold Infusion Support Gem (and ideally Glaciation).
3. 60 Spirit.
4. A method to inflict Cold damage.

Remember to activate both Heralds in your skill menu.

Effective Cold damage procs for Herald of Ice include:

• Monk's Ice Strike (highly effective).
• Passive skills boosting Freeze buildup.
• Weapons/gloves with flat Cold damage.
• Against the Darkness Time-Lost Diamond Jewel (+Cold damage%).

How the Heralds Interact

Herald of Ice activates upon shattering a frozen enemy, causing an AoE cold explosion. Crucially, its Cold damage cannot Freeze, preventing self-perpetuation.

Herald of Thunder activates upon killing a shocked enemy, unleashing damaging lightning bolts. Similarly, it cannot inflict Shock independently.

The synergy lies in their damage conversion: Lightning Infusion on Herald of Ice converts some damage to Lightning (which can Shock), and Cold Infusion on Herald of Thunder converts some damage to Cold (which can Freeze).

This creates a chain reaction: Herald of Ice (via Lightning) shocks, triggering Herald of Thunder; Herald of Thunder (via Cold) freezes, triggering Herald of Ice, and so on. While theoretically infinite, practically, the chain breaks after one or two cycles due to enemy density. Breaches are ideal due to their high enemy concentration.

Initiation involves first proccing Herald of Ice by Freezing and shattering an enemy (e.g., with Ice Strike). This icy explosion also shocks, starting the chain. Prioritizing Herald of Ice is strategic because Freeze is easier to inflict than Shock, and Herald of Thunder's lightning bolts have better range.
