The easiest way to eliminate the Herald Fortnite boss is to be on the roof above her

The Herald can be quite dangerous if not engaged properly. Besides her deadly weapon, the Fortnite boss also summons two Chrome wolves that can make things difficult for anyone who tries to take the boss down.

Fortunately, the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 villain doesn't have a massive HP pool. She has 600 health and 600 shield. With 1,200 hit points in total, the boss can be taken down with less than two magazines of an assault rifle.

To eliminate the Herald, you need to use assault rifles or snipers, as keeping a distance is crucial. She has a deadly weapon that is capable of shredding enemies, so getting closer to her is not a smart strategy.

While engaging the boss from a distance is a must, you will also have to make sure that no other enemies are around the area.

Herald's Sanctum is a popular landing spot because of the Mythic rifle, so you will have to clear the area first before engaging in a boss fight.

The easiest way to defeat the Herald is to simply be on the roof above her. You will be able to take clear shots at her while also having a ground advantage and a lot of cover.

The Mythic boss summons her wolves frequently. However, these wolves will not be able to reach you when you are positioned above her, so you don't have to worry about them.

Keep in mind that the boss is immune to damage while wolves are summoned. You will either have to eliminate the wolves or wait for them to disappear before finishing off the Bloom Queen.
