Assessment

For most players, Sage will be the ideal first Row IV due to its versatility: Panacea and Veil (or Dispel, where relevant) are very powerful in almost every battle and for almost every team, allowing the remaining subskills to be tailored for individual situations.

  • Ability Veil.png VeilAll allies gain Status Veil.pngVeilDebuffs will be nullified (1 time)
    "Veil" is an unofficial name used by the wiki for this status effect. Its actual in-game name is "Immune."    .     lasts until consumed and can block multiple debuffs at a time, effectively negating the debuff component of many battles.
  • Ability Dispel.png Dispel DelugeRemove 1 buff from all foes. is simply an all-foe version of Bishop's Ability Dispel.png DispelRemoves 1 buff from a foe. and an alternative to Veil for the mandatory Extended Mastery Skill.
  • Ability Clear.png Peace of MindRemove 1 debuff from all allies.
    All allies gain Status Shield.pngShield (500)Next ATK received will be ineffective for a fixed amount
    Strength: 500Duration: 3 turns    .     is usually worse than Ability ClearAll.png ClarityRemove 1 debuff from all parties. due to its longer cooldown and it not being raid-wide, but has niche value as an Extended Mastery alternative to Veil, or in battles where multiple debuff removal skills are desired.

In practice, Veil, Status SkillSeal.pngSkill SealedCan't use skills
 immunity, and potentially even Status AutoRevive.pngAutoreviveRecovers once from a knockout while in effect
 (via Nirvana square.jpg Nirvana/Hallowed Pilgrimage square.jpg Hallowed Pilgrimage) make Sage an excellent raid support, capable of reliably offering Panacea, Clarity, Dispel, or other skills as needed. Even for players with under-developed grids, Sage (along with Holy Saber and Spartan) is one of the best classes with which to legitimately contribute to difficult high-level raids. As Panacea can keep teams alive almost indefinitely with damage cut from characters and summons, Sage is no less resilient in solo content, and even its offensive capabilities are respectable due to the Ray of Hope passive, guaranteed triple-attacks from Double Trouble, and the flexibility to safely dip into Enmity or maintain Stamina via Panacea.

Sage's one weakness is that it doesn't strictly offer anything that cannot be replicated by other characters or summons in solo play. Therefore, players whose characters already bring Veil, Dispel, and powerful healing may wish to prioritize more offensive classes such as Chaos Ruler or Elysian.

Notable Main Weapons

Sage has strong choices of a variety of staves and spears for each element. There is not necessarily a need for a Sage to wield a staff or spear that interacts with its healing abilities at all, and many players may just choose a strong offensive spear or staff that goes well with the rest of their team. Still, a player may find use for healing-centric main weapons in select circumstances.

  • Hallowed Pilgrimage square.jpg Hallowed Pilgrimage - The Class Champion Weapon significantly improves healing potential for the class. The MC also gains access to Status AutoRevive.pngAutoreviveRecovers once from a knockout while in effect
    , which when combined with Ability Cover.png SubstituteGain Status Substitute.pngSubstituteReceives foe attack in place of an ally
    (Excludes all-foe all-ally attacks)
    Duration: 1 turn     .     allows bypassing certain boss triggers. Its strength is somewhat counterbalanced by weak emblems.
    • Saint's Humanity - 25% resistance to debuffs is a decent amount, but it is of extremely limited use since it is limited to protecting the MC.
    • Saint's Divinity - Improves the strength of the shield from White Wall to a decent 2000 on a 6 turn cooldown, which is better than some characters. The best emblem for normal use, though still not an amazing choice.
    • Saint's Devilry - Transforms Ability Light.png Blessing II350%-500% Light damage to all foes.
      Inflict Status Holy Spike.pngHoly SpikeHP is lowered on every turn
      Strength: 5000 DMG per turnDuration: 180 seconds      .       from being nearly useless into a minor damage reduction, but it is doubtful whether it is worth spending an emblem on it.

Other spears and staves that directly benefit or directly benefit from Sage's healing when wielded as a main weapon include:

Label Element Earth.png

  • Weapon s 1040416500.jpg Dawn Rising - Applies a strong stacking attack buff to the party each time a green-border skill (healing etc) is used. Sage has access to several of this type of skill and thus can power up the party relatively easily.
