Sage (SGE) is a barrier healer with a mechanically interactive kit and an extreme focus on preventative healing with its many sources of shielding and mitigation. Kardia allows Sage to passively heal their 'partnered' party member each time they cast a damage spell, placing an even larger focus on high GCD uptime. With this passive healing and their focus on preventative measures, Sage is an incredibly powerful healer while the run is going well. With a little planning, its powerful abilities can effortlessly trivialize many healing checks. However, this clear strength is balanced out by its relativey low recovery potential. The fact that it struggles to recover from bad situations further emphasizes its identity as a preventative healer. It is both incredibly important and highly rewarding to take advantage of your greatest strength—the ability to make sure the party never gets into a bad situation in the first place.
