Sword Sage build analysis
Sword Sage is an epic support hero. Compared with the other 28 epic support heroes in the database, Sword Sage sits in the middle of its class on raw stats. Among top players, the most settled part of the build is insignia (Empower Insignia, 44.4%) and the least settled is pet (Cold Turbulence (M), only 10.3%), so the pet slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.
How settled is each slot?
The pick rate of the most popular option shows how much top players agree. Sword Sage's top talent, Sacred Light, is picked 38.4% of the time, which is 13.9 points more settled than the typical hero (median 24.5%).
| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Sacred Light (38.4%) | Revive (11.2%) | clear favourite |
| Insignia | Empower Insignia (44.4%) | Sacred Light Insignia (10.9%) | clear favourite |
| Square Insignia | Winged Rebirth Insignia (33.1%) | Ancient Insight Insignia (13.8%) | clear favourite |
| Equipment | Holy Conviction (29.8%) | Abyss Seal (16.0%) | contested |
| Trait | HP (34.0%) | Accuracy (27.9%) | clear favourite |
| Pet | Cold Turbulence (M) (10.3%) | Tentacle Guard (M) (3.5%) | no consensus |
Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.
