Sword Sage Build Guide: The Meta Buffer

Sword Sage doesn’t win battles by dealing damage; he wins battles by making your team unkillable and the enemy team helpless. As a premier support hero, he applies massive damage reduction to your team while heavily debuffing the enemy.

Best Build for Sword Sage

Sword Sage’s only job is to stay alive and proc his skill.

• Best Talent: Revitalize. You want him to cast his skill the absolute second the battle starts to give your team the defensive buffs.
• Best Insignia: Sacred Light or Survival. He needs to survive to cast his skill multiple times.
• Best Traits: Dodge. Stacking dodge is the best way to keep him alive.
• Best Pet: Mini Angi or Droggo.

If you want to win in Arena or Lost Battlefield, Sword Sage is practically a requirement.
