The Executor class in lden Ring Nightreign is meant for players who love getting up close and trading blows. Its cursed sword lets you swing with style while still punishing foes for every misstep. If you enjoyed the parry-heavy feel of Sekiro, you'll find that same rhythm here. This guide collects everything you need to play the Executor well-stats, skills, weapons and even the full remembrance quest.

↖ Overview

↖ Weapons and Passives

Gear the Executor with dexterity or arcane-scaling blades that cause bleed, and you watch enemies flop in seconds. Two Nagakibas sweetened with frostbite or poison can settle a boss fight by the first night. Smithing stones turn those ragged edges into serious gore. 

Recommended:

Stick to dexterity-scaling weapons for maximum damage output. Avoid strength-heavy weapons as they won't complement the Executor's stats.

Avoid strength-focused weapons like greatswords, axes, and hammers, as they do not align with the Executor’s stats.

Passive Effects to Look For:

• Guard bonuses (e.g., health recovery on guard, damage negation)
  
• Bonuses for two-handing or dual-wielding weapons
  
• Successive attack bonuses for faster attacks
  

↖ Skills

Next, we'll break down the key skills of the Executor, how to use them effectively in combat, and strategies to maximize their potential.

 Tenacity

• Effect: Grants buffs when affected by or cured of status effects.
  • Stamina Recovery Boost: Similar to the Green Turtle Talisman.
  • Attack Power Increase: Approximately +20% for 20 seconds.
• Tips:
  • Pair with weapons or skills that induce status effects (e.g., Seppuku for blood loss buildup).
  • Unreliable activation makes it less effective compared to other passives.
  • Can occasionally trigger during boss fights but is situational.

Suncatcher

• Functionality:
  • Summons a special sword for deflecting attacks with a generous parry window.
  • Deflected attacks charge a unique slash skill that deals enhanced damage when fully charged (requires 4 deflects).
  • Skill can be stored and used strategically later.
• Advantages:
  • Effective for deflecting almost all attack types, including imbued and status-based attacks.
  • Ideal for reviving teammates quickly without taking damage.
• Limitations:
  • Limited mobility while Suncatcher is active.
  • Offensive damage falls off later in the game, making it primarily a defensive tool.
• Tips:
  • Use "switch deflecting" by timing weapon swaps to deflect incoming attacks.
  • Focus on mastering deflection timing for optimal performance.

Aspects of the Crucible: Beast

Transforms into a Crucible Beast with enhanced abilities for 15 seconds.

Abilities During Transformation:

• Light Attack Combo: Four-hit string (right-left-both sides-slam).
• Heavy Attack Combo: Three-hit string (right-right-360 slam).
• Guard: Long-range roar attack, effective against groups and reviving teammates from afar.
• Crucible Blade Swipe: High-damage AoE attack that ends the transformation.

Tips:

• Prioritize light attack combos for higher DPS.
• Use the final Crucible Blade Swipe just before the transformation ends to maximize damage output.
• Grants full health upon activation; a great escape tool in tough situations.

Caution:

• Damage taken in beast form applies to your human health bar post-transformation.
• Manage health carefully to avoid being low after reverting.

Summary:

↖ Relics

Choose relics that keep your health bar honest or crank damage higher. The right charms can turn a thin line between living or dying into a notch in the belt. 

Key Relics from the Executor Questline:

• Health Restoration Relic: Restores health when charging the Cursed Blade.
• Ultimate Form Relic: Restores health when using Roar or Ultimate Form.

Other Useful Relics:

• Bonuses to guarding (e.g., extra HP on guard)
• Stat boosts to Dexterity, Arcane, Endurance, or Health
• Enemy attention-drawing relics for tanking damage

Chalices:

• Urn: Red, Yellow, Yellow
  
• Goblet: Red, Blue, Green
  
• Chalice: Red, Yellow, Multicolor
  

↖ Party Composition

• Team Play: The Executor slides into just about any party mix. Pair with squishy mages and soak hits while they rain magic, or tag with another tank and let raw damage solve problems. 
• Solo Play: By itself, the class thrives because each good parry charges the cursed blade. Master that timing and basically nothing sticks to you for long.

↖ Remembrance Questline

To truly unlock the power of the Executor, tackle the Memories of an Executor questline. Below, we've sketched out each step, objective, and reward you can expect along the way. 

↖ Remembrance 1
