How TFT Executioner Works
Executioner Trait Bonus
Champions: Kalista 1g / Katarina 2g / Senna 3g / Akali 4g / Ryze 4g
Executioners gain Critical Strike Chance and their spells can critically strike.
- (2) 25% Crit; 10% CritMult
- (3) 35% Crit; 12% CritMult
- (4) 45% Crit; 15% CritMult
- (5) 55% Crit; 20% CritMult
Executioner grants its champions Crit Chance, while most importantly giving their spells the ability to Crit. There aren’t too many of them, but pairing any together immediately makes them more deadly.
Executioner Synergy
Here’s a rundown of the traits you can branch into from Executioner:
- Kalista – Soul Fighter
- Katarina – Battle Academia
- Senna – Mighty Mech
- Akali – Supreme Cells
- Ryze – Mentor / Strategist
There aren’t any matching traits between Executioners, but just like the other more narrow traits, Executioners only care about themselves.
TFT Executioner Champions
Kalista Soul Fighter Executioner 1g
[Link to Champion Page]
Kalista’s Spirit Spear hurls towards the furthest enemy, dealing a large amount of physical damage to the first enemy hit. Additionally, if the spear defeats the first enemy, it’ll continue and deal overkill damage to the next target. This is a pretty bursty backline ability for a 1-cost unit, and with Executioner, there’s always a chance it becomes even more deadly.
Katarina Battle Academia Executioner 2g
[Link to Champion Page]
Katarina is a mobile assassin that blinks towards the lowest health nearby enemy, dealing magic damage to it and surrounding foes. Once again, Executioner can make this even more impactful especially as AoE damage.
Senna Mighty Mech Executioner 3g
[Link to Champion Page]
Senna’s Super Beam Cannon deals physical line damage through her target. This has great damage potential, functioning as a good source of healing if the Mighty Mech is online, and even more so if it Crits.
Akali Supreme Cells Executioner 4g
[Link to Champion Page]
Akali marks the furthest target away within her range, then dashes through every marked target dealing solid AoE magic damage. This ability gets better as the fight goes on, allowing Akali to dash between several enemies and really amplify her damage output. Then of course, Supreme Cells + Executioner make her even more dangerous.
Ryze Mentor Executioner Strategist 4g
[Link to Champion Page]
Ryze’s Tsunami Beam deals a huge amount of magic damage to his target over a few seconds, while also dealing damage to foes within the radius. This bursty ability is complemented well by his three great traits of Mentor, Strategist, and Executioner. As a Mentor, his unique ability grants all allies increased Mana Per Attack, making him a fantastic addition to many teams.
