Description
Notes
Melee Axe Swing
The Executioner will swing his axe in the area around him.
These can be avoided if you keep your distance.
Summon Melee Mercenaries
The Executioner will summon mercenaries that follow you and deal melee damage.
These adds can be extremely annoying to deal with, as there is a lot of them.
Try defeating them as quickly as possible or they can become overwhelming.
Summon Ranged Mercenaries
The Executioner will summon stationary mercenaries that fire ranged attacks at you.
This will also cause circular AoEs on the ground in quick succession.
The combination of the melee and ranged mercenaries can lead to your death.
These adds will be at the edges of the boss arena, but they can shoot anywhere.
This attack does an incredible amount of damage.
We were caught in this the first time we took him on and instantly died.
In this moment, you could also use ranged attacks to deal damage.
Guillotine Drop
The Executioner will drop a guillotine in the arena.
This is where the guillotine drops, so steer clear of this.
