Executioner
April 18, 2026 at 03:42 AM
Updated Executioner with Item Level 15 ATK, damage coefficient, Rare and Epic effect lines, crafting bands, and ascension materials (2026-04-18)
Executioner is a Rare / Epic halberd-class melee weapon in Windrose. The blade of this halberd bears the memory of every criminal executed for the glory of the Spanish Crown.
Halberds are two-handed long-reach Crude weapons that scale with Strength. Halberds cannot Perfect Block, so builds rely on spacing, long pokes, and dodge-punishes rather than parry timing.
Field | Value |
|---|---|
Weapon Class | |
Rarity | Rare / Epic |
Damage | 365 Crude |
Scaling | Strength (B) |
ATK (Item Level 15) | 380 |
ATK (Level 1 crafted) | 100 |
Stack Size | 1 |
Flavor | Takes their head off in one swing! Well... sometimes two. |
Rare and Epic variants share a base effect. Ascending the Rare to Epic at the Weaponsmith Workshop preserves the Rare effect and stacks an additional bonus on top.
Tier | Effect |
|---|---|
Rare | Killing enemies grants stacks of Decimation effect. Each stack increases your Critical Hit Chance by 10%, up to 30%. |
Epic (adds) | While the Decimation effect is active, you gain Apathy effect granting 10% Damage Resistance. |
Craft at the Weaponsmith Workshop (Level 1). Base recipe: Wood x10, Copper Ingot x7.
Ascending the Rare variant at the Weaponsmith Workshop converts it into the Epic variant and unlocks the Epic bonus line. Ingredients: Executioner x1, Tumbaga Ingot x9. The ascension consumes the Rare weapon. See Tumbaga Ingot for sourcing notes and Upgrade System for the full ascension mechanic.
Dropped from Blackbeard pirate lieutenant chests and Spanish garrison caches.
Spawns in later pirate fort rotations once the game world reaches the Mire Metal tier.
Specific chests and drop locations currently listed on the live item card:
Chest Source | Location | Chance |

Kill-chaining halberd. Mob-dense fights keep Decimation active, which means +30% Crit and the Epic's 10% Damage Resistance reinforcing each other. Weak in one-target boss fights compared to Plague Halberd or Sturdy Halberd.
Lead with dodges because halberds cannot Perfect Block. Long-reach pokes during enemy recovery frames are the bread-and-butter pattern; heavy swings are your punish tool when the enemy whiffs.
Strength-scaling weapons pull from the Strength and Mastery branches of the Talent System. Relevant picks include talents that boost Crude damage, two-handed melee damage, posture break on staggered enemies, and stamina-efficient heavy attacks. Strength weapons also pair well with the Crusher talent branch when it is available as a training option.
See the Talent System article for the current list of unlockable talents and their exact bonus values. Respeccing talents costs an in-game currency, so early-game branch commitments tend to lock in weapon pairings for the rest of the playthrough.
Executioner sits alongside 3 other halberds on the current live index. Consider the alternatives:
Halberd: Uncommon, 340 Crude, Strength (B). no special effect
Plague Halberd: Rare / Epic, 355 Crude, Strength (B). Dealing Damage grants you a stack of Plague Echoes effect. At 5 stacks, the special [F] attack becomes available.
Sturdy Halberd: Rare / Epic, 370 Crude, Strength (S). Increases Critical Hit Chance by 10%.
