A master sage in pursuit of the perfect truth who joined the Seven Demon Lords and currently serves as their strategist. The heir to the Snake clan, Sage was unable to feel any emotions, and spent centuries seeking the truth alongside his master Lezard in a library located within his clan's territory. Even after Lezard, a member of the Seven Demon Lords, died while fighting in the Second Celestial War, Sage simply continued his search for the truth to little avail. It was only after a discussion with Sun Wukong, who had come to recruit him as a new member of the Seven Demon Lords, that Sage realized the key to the truth lay in [emotions]. As such, he—now she—is currently focusing her efforts in understanding the female heart using Alf's hidden magic. Sigh... You say I do not understand a woman's heart? Thank you for your advice. I must admit, I've never considered it from that angle before...

Decreases Bonus Damage Rate Resist & Weakness Attack Rate Resist

Weakness

Lower dps & survivability than the awakened version.

Sage is the base version of Seeker of the Truth Sage, a unique melee DPS hero with strong Overload synergy. While she shares the same core kit as her awakened counterpart, there are significant differences that make her not viable for combat in her base form.

The awakened version receives dramatically higher damage output and enhanced Truth Seeking bonuses when combined with Overload. Without awakening, Sage's damage output is far too low for any serious team composition. The gap between base and awakened heroes is simply too large to justify running the base version in any content.

Finally, a hero who isn't a collaborator who Decreases Bonus Damage Rate Resist & Weakness Attack Rate Resist.

Should You Use Sage?

Yes — The damage is solid, and the debuffs are incredible. Whether it's awakened or not, it's the best Disintegration DPS.

Strengths

Bonus Damage Rate reduction — Deterioration reduces target's Bonus Damage Rate Resist by 24%, amplifying your team's damage against heavily-buffed enemies.
Strong Overload synergy — Truth Seeking buff is boosted 1.5x when affected by Overload. Sage becomes significantly more powerful with Overload support heroes like Elenia or Ecila.
Delayed burst AOE — Foreseen Destruction deals 2500% ATK after 3 sec, then instantly doubles when stacked. This delayed damage can catch enemies off-guard in PvP.
Team Bonus Damage buff — Sly Stratagem grants allies +24% Bonus Damage for 10 sec, providing valuable team damage support.
Self-revive — Sage Revives with 100% HP once when fallen, giving her a second chance in extended fights.

Weaknesses

Low skill damage — Forbidden Knowledge deals 3000% of Attack (vs much higher in awakened), limiting her burst potential.
Overload dependency — Sage's Truth Seeking buff is significantly boosted when affected by Overload. Without heroes applying Overload, her damage is much lower.
Self-damage from Overload — The Cold-Blooded buff inflicts Overload on Sage herself for 3 sec (deals 5% Max HP per sec), which can be risky without proper healing.

Best Game Modes

  • Pve — His unique debuff ensures he has a place on any team.

Build & Optimization

Roll for Critical Hit Rate and Evasion. Critical Hit Rate ensures Sage can consistently trigger his buffs on critical hits, while Evasion improves survivability in late-game content. Due to enemy critical hit resistance in Deep Nightmare, aim for higher than 100% effective Critical Hit Rate.
