How to Beat Abyss Herald: Wicked Torrents
Avoid Attacks to Avoid Increasing Skill CD
As much as possible, try to avoid getting hit by the Abyss Herald: Wicked Torrents, as some of his attacks increase the CD of your character's skill if they are currently on cooldown. You can also use shields to avoid getting hit without dodging.
Use Cryo and Hydro to Freeze
You can Freeze the Abyss Herald: Wicked Torrents to render them immobile for a few seconds. The Abyss Herald utilizes the Hydro Element, however in order to freeze the Abyss Herald, you will need a Hydro character for the Freeze reaction to work when applying Cryo.
When the Abyss Herald: Wicked Torrents activates its shield, it also applies Hydro to itself, so you can freeze them as much as you can.
Use Cryo or Electro to Destroy the Shield
The Abyss Herald: Wicked Torrents will be able generate a shield when you fight him for the second time onwards. The shield activates when its HP gets low. Aside from Cryo characters, you can also bring an Electro Character to break the shield much faster.
Abyss Herald Abyss Mages
Exclusive to the 3rd Round of the Archon Quest; We Will Be Reunited
, two Abyss Mages appear to fight alongside the Abyss Herald when the Abyss Herald's HP falls around 75%.
Focus on taking out the Abyss Mages first to make the battlefield less annoying to deal with.
Recommended Characters
We recommend bringing at least one Cryo character and one Hydro character before taking on the Abyss Herald: Wicked Torrents, as it is susceptible to Freeze. Pyro and Electro characters are also viable in dealing damage and breaking shields respectively.

I'm guessing they changed the item drops for the Abyss Heralds because now they drop Ley Line Sprouts instead. Very unfortunate since I'm farming the Statuettes for Yelan's Weapon.
