Wielding the lightning imbued Kibelius, Sage descends on his foes like a bolt of lightning and strikes them down. He can hurl his spear to pierce through targets or transform himself into lightning itself to rush down enemies in a flash.

The raw, concentrated power of his lightning can even break open rifts to unleash more powerful attacks. And when Sage casts his skills, the Arkanon — possessing the combined power of the Kibelius and Kyve — will be summoned forth to assist him.

Demonstrating a combat style as powerful and unpredictable as lightning, we hope you’ll stay tuned for Sage Awakening!





Lightning Prison

Opens a massive rift and calls down countless spears of lightning to wreak devastation.


Impaling Flash

Imbues his spear with lightning and throws it. Enemies pierced by the spear will be marked, and Sage will attack marked enemies in a rush of lightning.


Divine Executioner

Throws his spear into the air and leaps up to fling it down with all his might. The spear will electrify its surroundings once it lands.


Spear Bolt

Hurls his spear at foes with his entire might. Sage can pass through any enemies hit by his spear to retrieve it.
