Antigone Man-slayer

Last Updated: August 18, 2026

Antigone Man-slayer Overview

Antigone “Man-slayer” is not particularly good against male characters, and she’s not much of a damage-dealer either; instead, she’s a good support against Poison and HP Burn bosses thanks to her ability to remove them from your team and throw them back at the boss instead. More of a spider/dragon-slayer, really.

Antigone Man-slayer is the fusion epic for The Cowardly Lion‘s mixed fusion event in RAID: Shadow Legends, arriving alongside (but not part of) the Echoes of Oz event. From her name you might expect her to be good against male characters, or to do a lot of damage; neither of these things is true.

Antigone is actually a good support champion against debuff-heavy bosses who place Poisons or HP Burns, since she can Remove them all from your team and then Transfer them back to the bosses: she’s particularly good against Spider, Nether Spider, and both normal and hard difficulty Dragon. This move can easily fill a boss’s entire debuff bar (a target can have 10 debuffs maximum) with Poisons, though it’s less useful with HP Burn since it cannot stack. Since she only Removes one additional random debuff, she’s not the best general Debuff Remover.

Her A2 and A1 brings some general utility as well: a void-affinity AoE Weaken is useful, and her Shields and Healing are good too by epic standards.

All in all, she’s a decent epic support champion but she’s very much tied into countering specific Poison-heavy bosses if we’re being totally honest. Not a terrible consolation prize for new players who cannot manage to complete the whole Cowardly Lion fusion, but not really worth hunting for an extra copy and absolutely not worth skipping him for.
