Almost certainly the lion, this isn’t an anime where a knight can just casually bisect a 800lbs raging bag of muscle with the flick of their wrist and a marketing beam energy swipe. The lion would absolutely knock down, crush, and maul even if it couldn’t penetrate armor right away. Like, id give it a 1/50 chance of striking a lucky blow as the lion plunges or if you’re smart you might be able to come out alive by going limp and playing dead.
