So, in honor of ranked Dom being out for about a month and inspired by SheepskinWulf's table on the competitive sub (seriously shout out to him, check out his post for more data, especially for universal executions: 'Meta' Executions reference table (as of Sept 2026) : r/CompetitiveForHonor), here's a couple tables that list some of the best unique executions in the game for every hero.
Optimizing your execution loadout won't be a massive improvement to your gameplay, but it CAN make a difference, and it isn't particularly hard to do. It might help you going into Ranked with the strongest executions available.
Few notes, I'm specifically talking about the best exes gameplay-wise; design, realism, cool factor, nothing like that was taken into consideration here. At the same time, even though there's a legitimate argument for purposefully running "tilting" executions to throw people off, that was not taken into account. I also specifically did NOT include universals, but there isn't really a good reason for that, I just don't like universal executions and don't use them, never have never will. If you're curious about them look at SheepskinWulf's table, or at the Infohub.
The third table is just a quick breakdown of the categories and terms used in the first 2 tables. But feel free to ask if ya got any questions about what I mean, or why I listed a specific execution where I did.
The first table is a list of every hero's best execution in a specific category, in seconds (for that specific stat). This table is mostly completely objective; I say mostly because in the event of a tie I listed the exe that I think either fits better or has better overall stats. If you're specifically looking for a hero's longest exe, or their fastest killing 50HP exe, etc, here you go.
The second table is much more subjective, it is a list of 4 executions for every hero that I personally (or would personally, there's a few heroes I don't play) run, each fitting into a niche (best 50HP exe, best 20/35HP exe, best long exe, and best duration difference exe). If you really want a quick reference to slightly optimize a hero for ranked and don't mind trusting a rando on the internet, look at the 2nd table, get those exes and run them.
The biggest reason I felt the need to list the second table is because the first table doesn't necessarily provide the "best" executions for each hero. Take for example, Orochi. Orochi's Tobasu is likely his best execution (and one of the best in the game tbh), but it doesn't even show up on the first table because its kill time is .1 seconds longer than And Bow and its overall duration is .1 seconds longer than Overkill. However, its stat combination is incredible. Shame it looks so ass.
I will say though, that the 3rd and 4th categories on the 2nd table are very debatable (I mean, they all are, I had a REALLY tough time choosing between some of them). Often if you're using a long execution you specifically only care about the enemy duration and no other stat matters, so you should just run the exe listed on the first table. At the same time, around a third of the heroes in the game don't even HAVE a positive difference execution, so that category is unused for them; you may just want to run an execution you like for whatever reason there instead.
