What's a good executioner build?

I like asking the community about builds cause there's lots of great players in here. I just started playing him and he is a lot of fun!

    Not trying to be an unpleasant person but honestly, just try stuff yourself, that is where the fun comes in, losing some matches because your builds turn out to not work (after giving it a good long shot, several days of it preferably) is fine, it does not matter one bit.

    You only GAIN bp, you dont lose any.

    Just try some stuff yourself and dont just copy what others do, tips etc are fine but pls try things yourself first, be you, dont be "insert other user here" nr 2.

    I am a Pyramid Head main, I've sunk a good amount of time into him and these are what I would say to be the best build on Pyramid Head.

    • Ruin, Undying, Tinkerer, and Discordance, pretty much any gen regression in place of Ruin and Undying is good on him.

    BBQ, pop, corrupt and Im all ears is good

    Or you can try ruin, undying, tinkerer and discordance if you are not a gen kicker

    I like Im All Ears on him, maybe because im still bad with the executioner, but it helps.

    That's a good advice, I vote up you.


    But @TwitchyMike, if you really want some builds, first a "serious" one :

    Ruin/Undying/Tinkerer/Lethal Pursuer

    (If you don't like hexes :

    Lethal Pursuer/Pop/Corrupt/Thrilling Tremors)

    A fun one :

    BBQ/I'm All Ears/Keep The Best For Last/Corrupt

    that's a fair point. More so just looking for options.

    It's actually a pretty good perk. It lets you see someone who fast vaulted so you can try to get a shot off where you normally would have to guess.

    I know what the perk does, its good when you are a beginner like me with the executionner, but I think good players can play without it.

    That build works best for me too on him, it's really strong.

    Anything really. He has the power to do something about loops without needing to be sniffing the survivors rear end like Nemesis, or be blocked by .... everything like Deathslinger, huntress and trickster. He only falls short in map pressure so that's all you need to focus on.

    I like to consider myself as a really good PH player and I still use the perk. It's invaluable to see how survivors play when they're out of sight and you can change your plan on the fly from it

  • MrDardon

    My personal build with him:

    - Shadowborn (don't use it, I am addicted to it)

    - Corrupt Intervention (early game slowdown)

    - BBQ (BP and tracking)

    - I'm all Ears (for easier shots trough walls)

    Pretty straight forward. Instead of Shadowborn, use Monitor and Abuse. The biggest counter to PH is holding W. With Monitor you have a smaller TR, alerting Survivors a bit later and giving them less distance, milding that counter a bit down, because once in a chase, he becomes a beast.

    The bigger TR while in chase also helps because it gives Survivors a false warning, they probably start running but in reality you are in a chase with someone else, creating passive pressure.

    Bud, this is the sheep build for every killer. Just free no effort regression cause you can't handle the pressure.

    My personal build is Corrupt, BBQ, Monitor and Abuse and I'm All Ears. BBQ is mostly for points, I'd drop it for Tinkerer or Discordance if you want a serious build.

    I use corrupt, ruin, pop on all my killers and the third one is your choice personally I use BBQ or bamboozle. If you miss your POTD at a strong window loop just close it off.

    Sometimes he doesn't get the value of pop goes the weasel,BBQ information and his not being a m1 killer even makes sometimes surge doesn't work on him so I use ruin/undying/ı'm all ears/discordence

    Monitor, Nurses, Franklins, NOED.

    Tunnel out first survivor, camp the second one and slug the rest with NOED. Take it or leave it.

    For the memes?

    Third Seal + Undying + Trail of Torment + Retribution/I'm All Ears, Indoor map Offering.

    The strategy is to gradually apply Third Seal on of them and use Trail of Torment to go undetectable. They will have no idea when you got ToT active due to blindness. Retribution/I'm All Ears and Undying can help you hit unsuspecting survivors with an M2.

    I agree, its a great perk itself and still good at high level. I just think there are "perk to go" to begin with a killer and I think Im All Ears is one of them for Pyramid. Its like a perk that help to learn.

    Even if its still useful for a good executionner player, I think there is others perks you can play with and you can still hit survivors without Im All Ears.

    Maybe its dumb but I like to think there is perks that help to learn and even if its still useful when you are good enough I like to say to myself "Now you can play without it !"

    I like Agitation, Mad Grit, I'm All Ears and Starstruck.

    As soon as you pick up a survivor start swinging your weapon. It's funny.
