He-Man in RAID: Shadow Legends is one of the most exciting crossover champions to date. This limited-time collaboration with Masters of the Universe brings the Prince of Eternia into the dark fantasy world of Teleria as a Legendary Sacred Order champion. In this guide, I'll cover everything you need to know about He-Man: how to get him, how to build him, what gear to use, and where he shines.
How to Get He-Man
He-Man was introduced as a limited-time Champion Pass champion during the Masters of the Universe crossover event. To unlock him, you needed to progress through the Champion Pass by completing daily and event quests. Each tier of the pass rewarded He-Man shards, and at certain milestones you could unlock him outright.
If you missed the initial event, He-Man occasionally returns during special re-run events. Keep an eye on the in-game event schedule and the official RAID social channels for announcements. When he's available again, prioritize the Champion Pass over everything else - he's one of the best Arena champions in the game.
He-Man's Kit Overview
He-Man is a Sacred Order Legendary champion with an Attack role and Spirit affinity. His kit is built around raw burst damage and Arena dominance.
A1 - Power of Grayskull: Attacks one enemy. Has a chance to ignore Stone Skin and Block Damage buffs, which makes him uniquely valuable against tank-heavy Arena defenses.
A2 - By the Power of Grayskull: Attacks one enemy. Damage scales up to 500% based on the target's max HP. This is your nuke - it deletes high-HP targets in one hit.
A3 (Passive) - Aura of Power: Increases Speed in the Arena by 28%. This is a massive Speed boost that applies to your entire team in Arena battles.
Passive - Immune to Petrification: He-Man cannot be affected by Petrification, which counters specific champions who rely on that debuff.
Best Build for He-Man
He-Man is a pure damage dealer, so you want to maximize his offensive stats while giving him enough Speed to take turns quickly.
Gear Sets: Savage (best overall for damage), Cruel (alternative), or Lethal. For Arena specifically, you can also run a Speed set to ensure he goes first.
Stat Priorities: Speed (minimum 200 for Arena), Crit Rate (100%), Crit Damage (200%+), Attack (as high as possible). Accuracy is not needed since his damage ignores buffs rather than placing debuffs.
Masteries: Offense tree all the way. Keen Eye, Single Out, Life Drinker, and the T6 mastery that increases damage based on missing HP. For Arena, add the Support tree for Master Hexer if you have accuracy from gear.
Where He-Man Shines
Arena (Offense): This is where He-Man is S-tier. The 28% Speed aura gives your entire team a massive advantage, and his A2 nuke can one-shot most champions. Pair him with a speed booster (Lyssandra or High Khatun) and a defense down champion (Peppermint, Uugo) for maximum impact.
Arena (Defense): Less effective on defense because the AI doesn't always use his A2 optimally. He's still good, but not as scary as when controlled manually.
Dungeon Bosses: He-Man can work in dungeons that don't require specific debuffs. His raw damage is high enough to contribute, but he's not the best choice for content that needs HP burn, Poison, or other debuffs.
Clan Boss: Not recommended. Clan Boss requires sustained damage over many turns, and He-Man's single-target burst doesn't synergize well with the 50-turn limit.
Best Team Compositions
Arena Nuke Team: He-Man + Lyssandra (speed boost) + Peppermint (defense down) + Duchess (revive/protect). This team goes first, strips defenses, and He-Man one-shots the biggest threat.
Arena Counter Team: He-Man + Madame Serris (debuff cleanse) + Duchess (revive) + Rearguard Sergeant (block debuffs). This team is built to survive the enemy's first turn and then counter with He-Man's nuke.
Is He-Man Worth It?
Yes - if you're an Arena player. He-Man is one of the best Arena champions in the game right now. The 28% Speed aura alone makes him worth building, and his damage output is elite. If he's available during a re-run event, drop everything and get him.
For PvE-only players, he's less essential. There are better champions for dungeons, Clan Boss, and Faction Wars. But for Arena, he's a game-changer.
Jay's Verdict
I've been running He-Man in my Arena team since the collab launched, and he's been worth every shard I invested. The Speed aura means my team almost always goes first in Silver and Gold Arena, and his A2 has one-shot every champion I've targeted so far. If you have him, build him. If you don't, watch for the re-run.
