My Favorite Thing About the New Rift Herald

Now she just has to attack you for attacking the Scuttler, and my fanon of the Rift Herald will be completed!

You don't kill the Rift Scuttler. You bombard her with a constant barrage of missiles, claw, grabs, unholy arcana, primordial bursts, mystic shots, bola strikes, and claw gores until she's forced to run away before you do kill her.

The third Scuttler was the best friend of the other two and got tired of seeing her best friends beaten half to death every five minutes, so she wandered into the Baron pit to let the Void enter her, sacrificing her form and way of life, and giving that Scuttler enough power to do to you what you've been doing to her friends for years.

And she knows that in fifteen minutes, Baron will take his toll. But in the end, it was all worth it. For fifteen minutes, she exacted her vengeance on you. For fifteen minutes, she wasn't powerless. For fifteen minutes, Herald was alive.
