Antigone Man-slayer is the Argonites fusion Epic from The Cowardly Lion's mixed fusion event, arriving alongside — though not part of — the Echoes of Oz event. Despite the fearsome name, she is neither a man-hater nor a nuker: she is a debuff-transfer specialist who turns Poison-heavy bosses' weapons against them.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Poison Boomerang: Her A3, Unburdening Strike, pulls all Poison and HP Burn debuffs plus 1 random debuff from every ally onto herself, then dumps the whole load onto her target, on a 3-turn booked cooldown. Against Spider, Nether Spider, and both Dragon difficulties this can pack the boss's entire 10-slot debuff bar with Poisons.
Weaken and Shields: Her A2, Island Guardian, attacks all enemies with a guaranteed booked chance of a 25% Weaken debuff for 2 turns while shielding all allies for 20% of her MAX HP.
HP-Based Sustain: All her damage scales off HP, her A1 heals herself 10% and allies 5% of her MAX HP, and her passive reflects Poisons and HP Burns back at attackers — 50% of the time while shielded.
Key Weaknesses
Narrow Counter-Pick: She only removes one debuff beyond Poisons and Burns, so she is a poor general cleanser, and HP Burn cannot stack on transfer; most areas rate a middling 5.
Antigone is a targeted counter for Poison-heavy bosses — Spider and Dragon (both rated 8) foremost — and a fine consolation prize for newer players.
