Drill to Earth's Core Executioner: the boss-damage seat
30,000 Cores, a 100-damage sword, +100% boss damage, and an August story-quest drop.
Executioner is a 30,000 Core Academy kit. That is the same wallet as Pirate, Goblin King, and Bounty Hunter. You buy it for boss rooms and boss walls, not for pickaxe income. The August 14–16, 2026 drop created the unlock badge, added lobby class outfits, a story quest with a new cutscene, side quests, and a new NPC. It also buffed boss-wall HP and added exploding stone enemies. This page is the class, not the whole patch; the calendar sits on patch history.
Starter kit: an Executioner Sword with 100 base damage. The headline passive is +100% damage to bosses across melee, guns, explosives, and pickaxe. That is why the seat exists. A Bruiser hits trash. Executioner deletes named bosses and the bit-flanking elites that spawn when a layer wall goes active.
The game is a 30-player online co-op Roblox descent launched 25 February 2026. Season 1 is live. Executioner is not a Season 1 exclusive; it shipped two weeks before Prospector. Shop stock can show No Stock the way Lucky Looter does in the Academy preview. If the mannequin is empty, you wait. There is no Executioner promo code. The codes hub will not grow one.
What you actually do in a run
Wear Executioner when the lobby’s problem is bosses, not walls. If the drill cannot break Clay, buy Driller instead. If Coins are the bottleneck, buy Lucky Looter. If gold bars are the bottleneck and you already have 30,000 Cores, Pirate still prints money. Executioner spends that money by ending the fight so the chest exists.
On a boss wall the August 15 rules still apply: teleporters off, 1 HP / 12 s regen, three spawn lanes. Executioner’s boss multiplier helps the named elite, not the wall HP bar. Someone still has to sit Drill Power. You still want medkits and speed potions from the core boss guide at 100 KM. The sword does not replace a barricade.
In structures, fight from range if you also brought a gun, then close with the sword when the boss plants. Vampire Mansion, Goblin Arena, and Spider’s Lair on the dungeons page are the rooms this kit was priced for. Do not wander off to farm camouflaged coal in Executioner plate while the drill idles. That is Miner work.
Level 4 is still the team bonus, gated on the 20–30 million total-depth band like the other 30,000 Core seats. Until then you are a personal boss killer. After that the lobby inherits a slice. Two Executioners on a 30-player server is plenty. Ten is a Coin drought.
Story quest, outfits, and the rest of the drop
The same update let you wear class outfits in the lobby from inventory. That is cosmetic. It does not add the armor HP you buy underground. Do not confuse the lobby skin with Void or Phoenix plate.
The story quest and cutscene are why people launched the patch video. Follow the new NPC. Side quests sit next to it. This wiki will not invent quest item names the client does not print. If a step needs a dungeon, take the structure; do not skip the 3 km tutorial dungeon on a fresh server just because you own Executioner.
Exploding stone enemies and the boss-wall HP buff are why old 100 KM clips look easy. The Glowing Core wall at 500,000 HP is the live number on the depth chart. Nightcrawler got a level-2 passive buff in the same patch; it still has no verified Core price here, so it does not get a shop tag on the class cost sheet.
When not to buy it
If you have 29,000 Cores, finish the daily board instead of staring at the mannequin. If you have 10,000 and no Driller and no Looter, those seats move the whole server more than a boss sword. If you hate melee, Gunslinger at 5,000 still exists. If you want gold, Pirate is the 30,000 Core printer.
The 2,500 Core passive reroll can paste a loot node onto Executioner only if you already own Lucky Looter. That is a luxury. Buy the sword, kill the boss, loot the chest, go back to the bit. The players hub lists the cheaper kits you should finish first.
