Executioner build analysis
Executioner is an elite crowd control hero. Compared with the other 34 crowd control heroes in the database, Executioner has lower base numbers than most of its class, which is expected for an elite hero. Among top players, the most settled part of the build is pet (Drako's Breath, 17.0%) and the least settled is talent (Flame Guard, only 7.3%), so the talent slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.
How settled is each slot?
The pick rate of the most popular option shows how much top players agree. Executioner's top talent, Flame Guard, is picked 7.3% of the time, which is 17.1 points less settled than the typical hero (median 24.5%).
| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Flame Guard (7.3%) | Revitalize (6.9%) | no consensus |
| Insignia | Saint's Favor Insignia (13.2%) | Oracle's Favor Insignia (11.2%) | no consensus |
| Square Insignia | Zero In Insignia (14.3%) | Blood Barrier Insignia (14.3%) | no consensus |
| Pet | Drako's Breath (17.0%) | Swarm of Doom (12.8%) | contested |
Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.
