What Does Executioner Do?
Executioner is a ranged troop that throws an axe capable of hitting both ground and air targets with splash damage. Rather than a simple projectile, the axe travels out to its target distance and then boomerangs back, passing through the same path a second time.
That means troops caught in its throw line can take damage twice from a single attack - once as the axe travels out, and again as it returns.
Where Executioner Fits
He excels as a defensive answer to grouped or lined-up troops, since his boomerang axe can hit multiple targets twice in a single throw, making him efficient against swarms and support troops alike.
How to Counter Executioner
A fast troop that closes the distance quickly is the cleanest answer, since he has little defense once something reaches melee range and can limit him to just one or two axe throws.
