⚡ DEXECUTIONER

Piercing Blade • Execute Mechanic • Bandit’s Signature

End-Game Power Weapon

Is Execute Bugged?

No, not in normal play. In the current version, Dexecutioner rolls a 2% Execute chance on each valid hit against normal enemies. Bosses and Mini Bosses are immune, and Final Swarm is not a reliable baseline test because its special enemies and rules reduce the value of old Execute-stall strategies.

⚙️ Dexectioner Mechanics

What’s confirmed in-game

🗡️ Piercing Line

Attacks travel in a straight line and can hit multiple enemies along the path.

Pierce: Multi-target line (no official cap disclosed)
Scaling: Benefits from Size/Quantity/Cooldown upgrades (per community builds)

💀 Execute Proc

Each valid hit has a 2% chance to instantly kill a normal enemy regardless of its remaining HP. Bosses and Mini Bosses cannot be executed.

No fixed proc cap: Execute has no fixed number-of-triggers limit. Quantity and Cooldown create more hit rolls, but do not raise the base 2% chance per roll.

⚡ Damage Profile

High per-hit power and strong scaling with core tomes/items; excels when you can line up large packs.

Plays best with: Size, Quantity, (situational) Cooldown tomes; crit/luck synergies via items

🏴‍☠️ Bandit Synergy

Bandit starts with Dexecutioner, but you must still defeat the Bandit statue in the Desert to unlock the character.

To play Bandit: Defeat Bandit statue (Desert) + own/purchase Dexectioner + buy Bandit with Silver

Why Execute Looks Bugged

Match the symptom to the rule before reporting a broken proc

What you see	Likely cause	What to test
A Boss never executes	Bosses are immune by design.	Use a normal enemy and keep ordinary DPS for the Boss.
A Mini Boss never executes	Mini Bosses are also immune.	Do not use elite-style targets as the proc test.
No proc in a short sample	At 2% per valid hit, short dry streaks are normal.	Observe many confirmed hits on ordinary enemies.
Execute stops carrying Final Swarm	Final Swarm has special enemies and post-v1.0.12 rules; old stall strategies are unreliable.	Test during a normal stage before the Final Swarm.
No obvious visual feedback	Dense damage numbers and effects can hide an instant-kill event.	Reduce other weapon effects and watch a healthy normal enemy.
Late-run attacks appear to stop	Heavy projectile load or an outdated game build can obscure weapon behavior.	Update the game, retest without Black Hole, and verify that the blade actually hits.

How to Test Execute

A clean test separates proc behavior from target immunity

Start a normal stage and test on regular enemies, not a Boss, Mini Boss, or Final Swarm target.
Limit other damaging weapons so a normal damage kill is not mistaken for Execute.
Confirm Dexecutioner's line attack is actually connecting, then observe a large sample of valid hits.
Add Quantity or Cooldown only to create more rolls. The base chance remains 2% per valid hit.
If behavior still differs, update to the latest game version and repeat without Black Hole or extreme projectile load.

Current Version Behavior & Fix History

Verified against the current v1.0.69 baseline

Current behavior: 2% Execute per valid hit on normal enemies, with Bosses and Mini Bosses immune. There is no fixed Execute trigger cap.

v1.0.12: the official notes optimized FPS when Dexecutioner was used with Black Hole and fixed maximum-duration/projectile-limit behavior that could make weapons stop firing. The same update reworked Final Swarm with Ghost pressure, so old Execute-stall results should not be used as proof that the normal proc is broken.

The official notes do not document a global 2% Execute-proc fix; this page does not label normal dry streaks as a confirmed game bug.

Dexecutioner Execute FAQ

Current rules, common limits, and unlock answers

Is Execute bugged in Megabonk?

No, not in normal play. Dexecutioner currently rolls 2% on each valid hit against a normal enemy. Target immunity, a short sample, Final Swarm rules, or an attack that did not connect commonly makes it look broken.

Can Dexecutioner execute Bosses?

No. Bosses are immune to the instant-kill Execute effect, so your build still needs normal damage for Boss fights.

Can Dexecutioner execute Mini Bosses?

No. Mini Bosses are immune as well; test the proc against ordinary enemies.

What is Dexecutioner's Execute chance?

The base chance is 2% per valid hit against an eligible normal enemy, with no fixed cap on how many times it may trigger.

Do Quantity or Cooldown increase Execute chance?

They increase the number or frequency of hits and therefore create more 2% rolls. They do not change the base probability of an individual roll.

Why does Execute stop working in Final Swarm?

Final Swarm uses special enemies and pressure rules, and old Execute-stall approaches became unreliable after the v1.0.12 rework. Verify normal Execute behavior in a standard stage instead.

How do I unlock Dexecutioner?

Reach 12,500 cumulative kills with Sword, then purchase Dexecutioner with Silver in the Unlocks menu.
