Executioner

Last Updated: June 23, 2025

Executioner Overview

When Raid first launched, Executioner was a go to champion to build – known for his effectiveness as a campaign farmer. However, after receiving a nerf, he’s no longer the Rare he once was – though he still offers some decent utility. Executioner is a Magic affinity Rare from the Knight Revenant faction.

The standout in Executioner’s kit is his A2, an AoE attack that reduces enemy Turn Meters by 20% and carries a 75% chance to apply the 15% version of Decrease Speed. With the Nature’s Bounty blessing, there’s a chance to upgrade this to the 30% version, offering solid speed control for a Rare. This makes him a decent pick for places like the Magic Rare Secret Room or early Faction Wars stages, especially if better options are unavailable. It can also be situationally useful against bosses that aren’t immune to Speed / Turn Meter manipulation.

Outside of that, he can self apply Increase Defence and Counterattack, helping with his survivability and giving him more chances to land the Stun from his A1. While not a top tier Rare, Executioner does offer some respectable speed and control abilities.
