How to Get Executioner

Triumph the Totality Tower event map to unlock Executioner

Is Executioner Worth It?

High placement limit (9 per player) makes it easy to stack for area coverage

Bounces between multiple enemies, giving strong value against grouped waves

Detects Flying enemies from the start and gains Hidden detection at Level 4

No Lead detection at any level, and its effectiveness drops noticeably against single, spread-out enemies since it relies on bouncing

Best Loadouts With Executioner

Good alongside a Lead detector to cover its one detection gap

Works well against tightly grouped waves where its axe can bounce between many targets in quick succession
