Sword x Staff Sage build: the best techniques and charms for PvP and PvE

The Sage is one of the Mage classes in Sword x Staff. It's a great mid-game class, but you'll need to give it the right techniques and charms. Mobi.gg offers you the Sword x Staff Sage build guide: let's see which build is best for PvP, PvE and healing.

Best Sword x Staff Sage build for PvE (AoE)

The Sword x Staff Sage build for PvP is all about doing massive AoE damage. Here, the Flame Wolf Summon generates two flaming wolves that immediately attack enemies in front of your character, but cannot be the target of attacks.

Dark Bullet attacks an enemy located within a 4-square zone around the character, while Shadow Impact inflicts damage on all enemies within a 2-square radius. Weakening Hex will reduce the boss's defence. This Sword x Staff Sage build revolves around the Erosion effect, boosted by Elemental Mystery.

The best Fantomon for the Sword x Staff Sage build

We're continuing our Sword x Staff Sage build guide with the best Fantomon. As a reminder, Fantomon are small monsters that you can obtain via the Tree of your Home, the dedicated gacha system. They improve your character's stats. In fact, we've put together a Fantomon Sword x Staff tier list for you!

For the Sage, we recommend Nyxarchon and Aegiswing for PvP and PvE. Equip Mandragora if you're playing a healing build, and Zeioletus or Kels if you're opting for an Erosion-oriented Sword x Staff Sage build.
