I’m going to keep this real with you… if you’re starting out with Executioner, the early game is rough. Not “a bit challenging” rough — I mean getting your head bitten off, randomly one-shot, confused about controls, and wondering if you picked the wrong class.
But here’s the thing most people don’t tell you:
Executioner doesn’t feel good early… but once you understand how to play it, it becomes one of the most satisfying classes in the game.
So instead of giving you a generic progression guide, let me walk you through this like you just started — what actually matters, what mistakes to avoid, and how to get stronger fast.
Cursed Gear Executioner Guide – Best Build, Combos
When you spawn in, the game throws you into a tutorial. And honestly? This is one of the rare Roblox games where you should actually pay attention.
Here’s what you need to lock in early:
- E = Charge energy (very important)
- F = Block
- E + F = Parry (timing-based)
- C = Equip sword
- Hold M1 = Stronger second hit (Power Strike)
If you don’t get this down, Executioner will feel terrible.
And yeah… pressing E + F together feels awkward at first, but you have to get used to it. That’s literally your survival tool.
Early Progression
Once you’re done with the tutorial, the game basically tells you:
“Alright, go figure it out.”
So what should you actually do?
Your Main Goal:
- Run expeditions
- Get Time (XP) and Shine (currency)
- Avoid dying early
Because here’s the painful truth:
If you die early, you lose progress — and it hurts.
Combat Tips
Let me simplify Executioner combat because the game does a bad job explaining it.
What You Should Actually Do in Fights
- Don’t spam attacks
- Hit → move → hit → move
- Use hold M1 (Power Strike) for better damage
- Only parry when you’re confident
If you try to play aggressive early, you’ll get punished instantly.
The “Safe Way” To Fight (Beginner Method)
This is what actually works early:
- Hit enemy once or twice
- Back off
- Wait for their attack
- Dodge or reposition
- Repeat
It’s slow… but it works.
Even strong enemies (like Brutes) become manageable if you play like this.
Fighting Brutes
Yeah… these are the ones.
They’re the reason most new players quit early.
What NOT to Do
- Don’t face tank
- Don’t spam attacks
- Don’t panic
What Actually Works
- Bait their attack
- Hit once or twice
- Move away
- Repeat
Once you figure this out, they go from “impossible” to “free loot.”
And trust me — the rewards are worth it.
Stats & Upgrades
When you start getting Time, you’ll unlock stat upgrades.
If you’re playing Executioner, keep it simple:
Early Game Priority:
- Physicality (damage)
- Durability (survivability)
Don’t overcomplicate it.
Executioner is a close-range damage class, so you need:
- Enough damage to finish fights fast
- Enough health to survive mistakes
Loot, Buffs & Items
One mistake I see a lot:
People ignore loot drops.
Don’t.
You’ll find things like:
- Passive healing buffs
- Damage boosts
- Defensive perks
These make a huge difference during long runs.
Sometimes the reason you survive isn’t skill — it’s the buffs you picked up.
Food System
Yeah, it sounds boring, but it matters.
- Running out of food = weaker sustain
- You stop recovering properly
Always:
- Buy food when you can
- Keep some запас (backup)
It saves runs more than you think.
Movement
Executioner doesn’t have insane mobility tools… but movement still matters a lot.
You can:
- Dash (E + Q)
- Double jump
- Reposition constantly
And honestly? Movement alone can carry you through fights.
If you stay still, you die. Simple.
When To Fight vs When To Run
This is something you learn the hard way.
Not every fight is meant to be taken.
If you see:
- Strong boss-type enemies
- “Special grade” warnings
- Too many enemies at once
Just leave.
There’s no shame in surviving.
Extraction
This is where most players mess up.
You’re doing well, you’ve got loot, you’re feeling confident… and then you stay too long.
And die.
Rule:
If you’ve got good loot → extract
Don’t risk everything for one more fight.
