Clash Royale's Full History of The Executioner

The Executioner has had quite the past, being a card filled with glitches and later went on to be one of the worst cards and game breaking cards in Clash Royale history. This video will cover every iteration of the executioner from his release all the way up to October 2022.

[@DulcetNuance]

The worst nerf to the executioner was making his appearance go from menacing to silly. I shall never forgive them.

[@NikoCigoj]

I dont know why everyone says he is a good card. The icon nerf turned him into the worst card in the game, so much so that the wizard had genuine use

[@AverageYoutubeBrowser]

He looks special Ed in both of them tho

[@Sombi27]

The Card Icon nerf was the most devastating one, the old one looked cool and menacing, like a dangerous Executioner ready to chop your head off, the new one looks goofy as hell

[@hilariousskullnamedcatzo647]

It kinda fits the goofy sprite tho

[@EGGfounder]

Old one looks goofy as well

The executioner has always been my favorite card in the game since he came out. It’s unfortunate that he was overlooked for such a long time, but I’m glad to see him getting some love again!

Hi if i think about it if your favorite card gets reworked this would be very exiting but annoyng beacause this you cant use him in your favorite deck i wodnt even know what deck i would be using when my favorite card gets nerfed so hard that i wodnt even be usable your good beacause you gept executioner your favorite card after all those balances❤️

This guy is fr so underrated. He makes a simple game documentary look like a movie while serving us nostalgia with jokes on the side like "Stupid piece of wood🤣"

[@witherkichian4867]

The executioner is a very simple concept card, but something about him just makes it very fun to play. Perhaps its just satisfying to see the axe go forth and back and kill all the tiny minions. Perhaps the little whirly noise when the axe is spinning. Whatever it may be, i love this card.

[@watermelongaming3698]

I don't even play the game, and I just really like the whole boomerang axe thing. I don't know why I like it, maybe because it comes back to catch anything it missed? Idk.

[@fernandosamuelhensel2715]

It's a similar reason for why I like the giant skeleton. It ain't necessarily good, but it's a giant pile of bones that goes boom.

[@moelester634]

Good animation transitions ✅ Blends theme with Minecraft ✅ Showing research sites✅ Good music changing style✅ Appropriately timed voice cracks🤌✅ Nice community and viewers✅ You’re doing really great and I hope more people can see your high quality videos!

[@FLYNTL]

For real the insane amount of work and info that goes into a Gratz video. Might even suggest to include the win and usage rates of these cards over time.

[@iandakariann]

Wow. This is like going back to an old movie that scared the life out of you when you were a kid. I was playing when the executioner came in and left before the bug fixes . You are literally saying to me that everything about this card I couldn't stand were all bugs. I feel vindicated after all this time. Wonderful documentary.

[@RampageEntertainment]

Me too. I had stopped playing bc this guy was just to annoying and used every game. Recently came back and he is deff not a problem anymore.

But keep up the great work man, amazing videos

I don't know why, but i love your history videos.

The 360° axe splash and small stun really felt intended when he came out ngl, before this video i never thought about It and in the back of my head they were still intended features and never thought about them getting removed

[@Nathansus]

With the little prince coming out, the executioner and bowler have both risen so much and considering both are two of my favorite cards in the gamr, I really appreciate it

[@next2963]

I love your videos, they're really good, interesting, educational & full of effort! An idea for a future video - Evolution of core modes (Ladder, 2v2 & Clan Wars), I think that would be a pretty interesting idea for a video since all of those went through a lot since launch, especially Clan Wars!

[@journquester6645]

idk if you read these but the history of cards video style is something I'm extremely into and love to see. keep it up bro

[@GrimRoseCR]

Gratz content always puts a smile on our faces, keep up the great content 😊

[@bALloOniSfOod]

I love how the executioner is portrayed in this video as an obsessive and clingy card, always trying to get the attention of the tornado so that it can have the triumphant relationship it once had with it. It can be seen through it becoming really strong so that the tornado would notice it/feel jealous that the exe no longer needs it, as well as when the exe is really bad so that the tornado will notice it and feel bad, only for them to end up in a functional and non-dependent relationship with each other in the end, kinda romantic lol

The Royal Giant rework made sense because it's issue was clearly the range. But I think the issue with the executioner was more complex so it was harder to balance.

i have great rework idea for executioner just change his axe attack direction, rather than going in strait line and return in same direction, make it like a throwing boomerang in curve direction and he also dont even need tornedo after this change.

Great video brotha! i love that you use minecraft music in your background, it brings all the nostalgic feels to the good days of gaming

[@Talion-jv1zp]

Could you make a video about the evolution of chests in Clash Royale? I think its a very interesting topic and many weird things are not known widely like for example that you can still see how many cards a free chest contains in a certain arena although the free chest is not in the game anymore since more than 2 years or that with the recent update most arena 20 chests will contain more than arena 15 chests but the arena 20 royal wild chest contains the same as the arena 15 royal wild chest.

[@FLYNTL]

Not quite about chests but search Math Royale in the subreddit. And there's a massive effort post about how long it takes to max out for your regular Joe today compared to years ago. It's over 5 years today if you play at 100% efficiency.

[@jungdva6493]

bro uploaded the most poetic and artistic clash royale video that there is out there

[@fireblitz3438]

Executioner actually has a place now these days, whether or not tornado exists with the card, the change that increased his tile range helped him be more viable like the bowler when he was given the exact change. With the phoenix being dominant in some of the most annoying decks, the card is now needed more than ever until then.

[@yourwiiddealer4388]

I'm gonna be honest, I loved this era of the game. Before both the buffs of the witch and exe, I used them anyway. I was stuck in challenger 2, and these buffs helped me get out of that trophy range, and plus lavaloon was dead, so that's always a win.

People have mostly maxed out the 42 cards plus the other couple dozen released the next couple years. That's part of the reason SC keeps them weak and prone to Power Creep. To encourage people to spend to max out the newer, stronger cards.
