Description

The Executioner Skeleton is a unit spawned by the Necromancer's Level 3 gravestones. It is a high health unit which has a strong attack.

When enemies are within range, the Executioner Skeleton will stop moving to throw its axe, which will travel in a straight line. When in flight, the axe deals 50 damage every 0.1 seconds to any enemy caught in it, which can deal hundreds of damage to multiple enemies if the trajectory is right. This makes it quite powerful on certain maps with paths that facilitate the ability. Once the axe returns and no other enemies are in range, the Executioner Skeleton will continue moving. Overall, the unit's high health and strong attack make it quite powerful.

Appearance

The Executioner Skeleton is made entirely of white parts that resemble a skeletal humanoid. It does not have a full torso, but instead has the bone cage for it. Its head is slightly smaller than most other enemies and has two large black eyeholes. It wears a brown belt, brown torn cape, grey crown and shoulder-pads, and grey knee-pads, armbands and chestplate, which have a black skull with blue glowing eyes.

It wields a large black axe with a black skull which has blue eyes.

Strategy

• The Executioner Skeleton has a high amount of health, making it useful against hordes of enemies, like the Glitch, Fallen or Monkey.
  • It can also be quite useful at killing or weakening higher health enemies, such as the Giant Boss or Tank.
  • The Executioner Skeleton, despite its high health, should not be used exclusively for its collision damage, as its ranged attack is also quite powerful.
• The Executioner Skeleton will throw its axe at an enemy, quickly dealing high damage to enemies hit by it.
  • However, do note that the axe always travels a specific distance in a straight line. This means that in some situations it could go through a line full of enemies, while in others it could hit just a few enemies, making it quite inconsistent.
• The Executioner Skeleton can deal full collision damage to enemies with defense, like the Giant Boss or Warden.
• The Executioner Skeleton can cope well against enemies that deal damage to units with their abilities due to its high health.
  • However, it will be completely destroyed if the Void Reaver performs its Void Stomp attack.

Trivia

• The Executioner Skeleton currently has the highest amount of health of any publicly available unit in the game.
  • If exclusive towers are included, the Mark V has higher health, as it has 5,000 health in comparison to the Executioner Skeleton's 3,500.
• The Executioner Skeleton is based on the Executioner tower, however the axe flight path is a lot more similar to the Executioner enemy and Jaxe from the Solar Eclipse Event.
