Frequently asked questions
What do I need for the Kunlun Executioner build?
Crescent Blade (Yuding No. 12), Bonesaw (The Crusher and the Saw), Dread Axe, Tiger Cannon, at least the Token of Pursuit and Ultimate Talisman accessories, and the Spirit-Returning Broth and Lament Draught medicines. The “How to get all the gear” table tells you where each piece is.
When can I use Kunlun Executioner?
From the endgame, which is when you have the weapons, the Edges and the two key accessories.
Are the damage figures official?
The accessory percentages are the ones published by Vandal and SoloJugadores. The game does not show weapons’ base damage, so the build is based on their effects.
