Executor, if used correctly, is one of the most powerful Nightfarers in Elden Ring Nightreign. So far, the Nightfarer has been incredibly effective against not only the vanilla Nightreign bosses but also all the Everdark Sovereigns, including Augur. However, Executor mains might find themselves hitting a wall with the latest Everdark Sovereign Nightlord, Equilibrious Beast.

While Libra is still weak to Arcane and affinity damage, his new “gimmick” makes this boss a pain to deal with, even for the Executor. However, with the right set of Relics, you can practically trivialize this boss fight using Executor.

Here’s a comprehensive guide on the best Executor build for Everdark Equilibrious Beast in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Everdark Equilibrious Beast (Libra, Creature of Night) is incredibly weak to Madness. However, with Executor, you won’t be using that. Instead, we’re going to focus on other affinities, namely Poison, Frost, and Bleed. While you usually can only focus on one affinity at a time unless RNG blesses you with a special weapon, with Executor, that’s not the case.

You can technically use all three affinities at the same time with Executor. And to do so, you need Relics. Thankfully, unlike other Nightfarer builds, Executor doesn’t necessarily have to rely on RNG Relics. You can easily craft this build using Nightlord Relics, which you should have if you’ve been completing the Everdark Sovereigns.

First, you need Augur’s Relic, which grants Vigor +5 and passive HP regen, boosting your survivability. In addition, you will need Caligo’s Relic, which grants your starting weapon Chilling Mist. Lastly, you will use Gnoster’s Relic, which grants Poison to your starting weapon. With these Relics equipped, you will be dealing Frost (via Chilling Mist) and Poison via your weapon’s Relics. On top of that, the Executor’s starting armament is a Katana, which scales incredibly well with Arcane and inflicts Bleed by default.

Tips To Use the Executor Build Against Everdark Equilibrious Beast

Here are some tips to help you use the Executor build efficiently against Everdark Equilibrious Beast:

With Executor, you want to stack as much affinity damage as possible while the boss is busy attacking your allies. While you can use the starting armament by two-handing it, and with a few two-handed buffs equipped, it’s not the ideal way to deal affinity damage. Instead, we recommend power-stancing two Katanas.
Weapons to look out for are Rivers of Blood and Nagakiba. Moonveil is also useful, but if given the choice between Moonveil and Nagakiba, we recommend picking the latter. Rivers of Blood is also incredibly effective against Libra simply due to its Corpse Piler Ash of War.
As for passives, you want to focus primarily on physical and affinity damage negation, affinity damage attack up, blood loss in the vicinity increases attack, and similar buffs. Additionally, less likely to be targeted also comes incredibly handy against Libra.
In the second phase, when Libra starts summoning the Condemned, focus on finishing off the Executor NPC and then shift your attention to Libra. With good passives and a Level 15 Executor, you will be able to easily deplete Libra’s HP with multiple affinity stacks.

Additional Notes

For Everdark Libra, we highly recommend using either Noklateo or Rotted Woods Shifting Earth. You can also use the Crater. However, Noklateo and Rotted Woods will have a better chance at yielding a guaranteed Legendary or good Epic weapon. Furthermore, make sure to upgrade your starting Katana to Epic to amplify its base DPS and affinity attacks.
