Ignatius

Last Updated: January 28, 2026

Ignatius Overview

Ignatius is an AoE HP Burn specialist who excels in Spider and burn required content, offering burns without Accuracy and added control utility, though his long cooldowns limit faster rotations.

Ignatius is a Magic affinity Legendary from the Ogryn Tribes faction, best known for his AoE HP Burn which requires zero Accuracy to land (though his A1 & A2 does).

He was one of the first champions in Raid: Shadow Legends to provide players with a reliable and comfortable way to defeat Spider, and while more AoE HP Burn champions have been released since, Ignatius remains one of the most consistent options. His main drawback is the long cooldown on his burn, often leaving players reliant on reset champions or gear sets to cycle back to it more quickly.

His Spider build is also quite different from most champions, as the goal is for his damage to come primarily from HP Burn rather than direct hits. To achieve this, it is best to avoid building Critical Rate or Critical Damage, instead focusing on Speed and survivability to maximise burn uptime.

Beyond Spider, Ignatius is also excellent for Sorath in Doom Tower, where HP Burn is essential, and he brings additional wave control through Provoke and Stun utility, making him useful in areas such as Faction Wars.
