Top Executioner Comps in TFT Patch 14.2 – Zed & Vayne Are Dominating the Meta

on

TFT Patch 14.2 is here, and if you’re not playing Executioners, you’re probably bleeding LP. These crit-heavy comps featuring Zed, Vayne, and other glass-cannon carries are absolutely tearing up the ladder right now. Whether you’re rerolling early or hitting Fast 8 power spikes, this guide will help you master the Executioner meta and climb with confidence.

Let’s break it all down—from team comps and itemization to augments and positioning.

🔪 What Makes Executioner So Strong in 14.2?

Executioners are crit-based damage dealers who guarantee critical strikes on enemies below a certain health threshold (60%/80%/100%). In Patch 14.2, with armor-heavy frontlines and tank augments running wild, Executioners are the perfect counter—bursting through defenses before tanks can even cast.

Plus, they synergize super well with Divinicorp, Initiator, and Headliner bonuses, making them one of the most versatile and explosive traits in Cyber City.

🧠 Executioner Trait Explained

  • Trait Bonus: Your Executioners' attacks and abilities always critically strike enemies below a certain health threshold.

  • At 2/4/6 Executioners: The crit threshold increases: 60% / 80% / 100%

  • Perfect Synergy With: Infinity Edge, Last Whisper, Jeweled Gauntlet, Giant Slayer

Executioner is all about cleaning up fights fast, especially when paired with traits that enable strong frontlines or AoE control.

🔝 Top Executioner Comps in TFT Patch 14.2

Executioner Comps, TFT Patch 14.2
⭐ 1. Zed Carry – Executioner + Divinicorp

Zed is the face of Executioner builds in this patch. His high single-target burst combined with mobility makes him the perfect carry to dodge AoE while shredding squishies.

  • Core Units: Zed, Yorick, Lillia, Mordekaiser, Nami

  • Best Headliner: Zed (Executioner or Divinicorp)

  • Items:

    • 🗡️ Infinity Edge

    • 🧤 Last Whisper

    • 🩸 Bloodthirster or Hand of Justice

  • When to Play: You have early AD items and Zed Headliner/2-star Zed at level 7

  • Power Spikes: Level 7-8 with 2-star Zed + frontline

🧭 Scout to see if others are forcing Zed. If contested, pivot to Vayne or an AP route.

⭐ 2. Vayne Reroll – Executioner + Initiator

Vayne reroll is perfect if you hit early 2-star Vayne or get Executioner Headliner at level 4-5. It’s a low-cost comp with insane scaling, especially when you stabilize with 3-star Vayne.

  • Core Units: Vayne, Vi, Qiyana, Blitzcrank, Thresh

  • Items:

    • 🏹 Rageblade

    • 🧤 Runaan’s Hurricane

    • 🗡️ Infinity Edge or Guinsoo’s

  • When to Play: Hit early Vayne 2*, Initiator frontline, and decent AD items

  • Power Spikes: 3-star Vayne on Stage 3-5 or 4-1

  • Augments to Watch: Scoped Weapons, Cybernetic Uplink, Harmacist II

💡 You’ll want to slowroll at level 5 above 50g until you hit 3-star Vayne.

⭐ 3. Executioner Flex with Kai’Sa/MF

This comp takes a flex approach, using Executioners as a secondary damage trait alongside 4-cost AP carries. A great fallback when you have mixed items or no early Executioner headliner.

  • Carries: Kai’Sa (Jeweled Gauntlet), Miss Fortune (DPS items), Vayne as 2nd carry

  • Trait Mix: Executioner + Dynamo or Arcanist + EDM

  • Best For: Highroll augments, transition boards, or flexible high-cost shops

🧩 Best Executioner Augments

These augments take your Executioner boards from strong to unstoppable:

  • Executioner Crown – +1 Executioner and free item

  • Scoped Weapons II – Huge value for Vayne boards

  • Jeweled Lotus II – Synergizes well with crit builds

  • Cybernetic Implants/Leech II – Extra sustain + stats

🛠️ Itemization Guide

Crit-based comps live and die by item efficiency. Here’s what to build:

Item    Use On    Purpose
Infinity Edge    Zed, Vayne    Boosts crit and scaling damage
Last Whisper    Zed, Vayne    Armor shred – essential vs tanks
Bloodthirster    Zed    Lifesteal + survive burst
Runaan’s    Vayne    AoE DPS and better target access
Jeweled Gauntlet    MF, Kai’Sa    For AP Executioners or hybrid boards

❌ Weaknesses and Counters

Executioners can melt boards, but they do have flaws:

  • Struggle against high-burst AoE (Crowd Divers, MF, EDM)

  • Need strong frontline or CC support (Initiators, Arcanists)

  • If you whiff items (no Bows/Gloves), your scaling suffers

Pro Tip: Don’t tunnel. If everyone is forcing Executioners, consider Nitro Reroll or pivot to Brand Strategist comps.
