Starter Weapon: Blood Loss + Unsheathe

The Executor's starting weapon comes imbued with Blood Loss, while its Weapon Skill, Unsheathe, is remarkably effective. With an S-Rating in Arcane, the Executor can build up status effects quickly, making it easy to inflict Blood Loss and steadily chip away at HP during intense boss battles.
Deflect Enemy Attacks with Cursed Sword
The Executor's bread and butter skill is the Cursed Sword, which you can use to parry enemy strikes. Mastering this technique takes deep understanding of enemy behavior and skill to redirect enemy attacks. It makes him a challenging pick for advanced players.
How to Use Executor
Features |
---|
- Gains boost after recovering from status ailments. Effect boosts attack and stamina recovery speed. - Can deflect enemy strikes using the Character Skill, Cursed Sword. |
The Executor starts with a powerful weapon imbued with Blood Loss and the Unsheathe Weapon Skill that stays effective throughout the game. His playstyle centers on the Cursed Sword ability, which demands careful timing and a deep understanding of enemy moves. This makes him one of the best choices for experienced players.
Excellent Starting Weapon with Blood Loss

The Executor's starting weapon is a katana that inflicts Blood Loss on enemies while his Unsheathe Weapon Skill breaks enemy stances using rapid strikes. If you upgrade this base weapon, it will remain effective throughout the whole game. You can stick with this weapon until you acquire a stronger one with the same Blood Loss effect.
Cursed Sword: Early-Game Option
The Executor can wield the Cursed Sword with his Character Skill. Attacks with the Cursed Sword consume less stamina, allowing you to strike repeatedly even when your stamina is low. Use it often during the early game.
Parry to Activate Cursed Sword Skill
When you're holding the Cursed Sword, a perfectly timed block lets you parry and neutralize enemy attacks. After a few well-timed parries, the sword will start to glow, it's your cue to unleash a Unique Skill. This powerful move lets you strike without using any FP.
Ultimate Art Against Multiple Enemies
When the Executor unleashes his Ultimate Art, he transforms into a giant beast. His increased HP makes him tough, and his sweeping strikes hit multiple enemies at once. Even if his allies fall in battle, his large stamina pool can quickly revive them.

Composition Points | |||||
- Since the Executor's attack power isn't as high as the other DPS, supplement damage by adding Wylder as another DPS. - Add Duchess, who pairs well with Wylder, for survivability. └ With the Revenant in your party, enemy focus may shift to her spirits and leave you with fewer chances to parry attacks. - The Executor can draw enemy attention when parrying. This creates openings for Wylder to strike. └ Deals more damage with the "Cursed Sword" Weapon Skill. - Increases durability by transforming into a beast with the Executor's Ultimate Art. └ Contributes to the party's overall survivability due to increased HP. └ Achieve high DPS by using Wylder's Ultimate Art alongside the Duchess' Character Skill. |
The recommended party composition for the Executor is himself, Wylder, and the Duchess. The Executor can take away enemy focus from Wylder and the Duchess as they deal damage.
Best Team CompositionsExecutor's Best Weapons & Talismans
The Executor performs best with weapons that take advantage of his high Dexterity and Arcane. Weapons like Rivers of Blood or Eleonora's Poleblade fit this playstyle well. With his high Arcane attribute rating, using weapons that inflict status effects can really make a difference.
The Executor's overwhelming Dexterity makes Millicent's Prosthesis the ideal choice for a Talisman. Stamina-related Talismans also boost stability and sharpen your parry timing.
