Genshin Impact: One of Abyss Herald's abilities leaked

The leak came from one of the active leakers in the Genshin Impact's Twitter community, Genshin_intel.

According to the leaks, Abyss Herald will possess a unique power to affect on-field characters' skill cooldown period. When a character's elemental skills are in cooldown, getting hit by the Abyss Herald's unique Hydro slash can extend the cooldown period for a longer duration.

The leaked Abyss Herald is believed to be of Hydro elemental type, which will allow him to use the Hydro slash. The other elemental Abyss Heralds may possess unique abilities that may differ from this effect.

If you are hit by these attacks from the abyss herald when your skills are in cooldown, those cooldown times will be extended. https://t.co/1UIWTu6doV pic.twitter.com/Nkc211EkqF
