Executor

Executor Basic Info
Executor	Tier	Ultimate
	Type	Shotgun
	Ammo	High-Power Rounds
Unique Ability
Impending Judgement: On hitting the enemy with all fired bullets, grants the unique ability Executor's Exaltation. If all of the fired bullets do not hit enemies while this effect is active, decreases the effect stage by -1. At the highest stage, firing a shot removes this effect regardless of whether it hits a target or not. At the highest stage, increases Firearm ATK on hit and inflicts Electrocution on the target enemy. On hitting an Electrocuted enemy, increases Firearm ATK and applies this buff to the attack.

This weapon is great for elite enemies since this weapon stacks its effect upon successfully hitting an enemy with all fired bullets, and it increases the weapon's damage at max stats and electrocutes an enemy, but resets the stack. Hitting the electrocuted enemy deals additional damage.

What are Shotguns

Weapons with Spread Damage

Shotguns deal the most damage when fired in close range, since the shot focuses on a specific area. The shot spreads out when fired, making it ineffective for long-ranged gunfights.
