What Is Rizzuto (Sage)?
Rizzuto (Sage) is the damage unit players check when they need a steady DPS slot but are still missing some SS carries. Tier lists repeatedly place Rizzuto (Sage) in S tier, below units such as Gometa (SSJ4), Woo (Shadow), Madora (Gunbai), and Shanron (Omega). That ranking gives the right expectation: Rizzuto is not the highest ceiling unit on the roster, but it can still carry work across normal progression and many mid-game teams. AllThingsHow describes Rizzuto (Sage) as dependable damage that holds across most content and says it can work as both a bridge unit and a real contributor on mid-game teams. Beebom also lists Rizzuto (Sage) as a reliable DPS that performs well across most content while staying below SS-tier units. Animesquadron.org frames it as a general DPS below SS units. Those guides line up on the role while exact card stats, material requirements, and a stable unlock route still need the live UI. Use Rizzuto (Sage) when the account needs damage now and the top carry path is still unfinished. It can fill a lane while the player saves for Woo, builds Gometa, farms Madora, or pushes toward Shanron. That does not make SS units irrelevant forever. Rizzuto is best read as the unit that keeps the account moving until the higher-ceiling damage plan is ready, and it can stay relevant when a team needs another damage slot beside support and economy.
How To Get Rizzuto (Sage)
Rizzuto (Sage) has no fixed public route for a precise unlock path, base-form requirement, evolution material list, banner pool, or stage reward. Check the live summon banner, unit index, evolution menu, stage rewards, and event menus for the current location. If the game UI shows a base Rizzuto requirement or Sage evolution path, use that live menu before spending copies, materials, or trait rerolls.
Rizzuto (Sage) Abilities
Rizzuto (Sage) is listed as a general DPS unit. Its job is to add reliable damage across most content, especially when a roster lacks SS-tier carries or needs another damage slot behind economy and support. Exact attack type, range, cooldown, upgrade cost, passive names, ultimate behavior, placement cap, and whether Sage has any special evolution effect need the live unit card before fixed values are safe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable damage slot: Rizzuto (Sage) is repeatedly described as dependable DPS across most content. That makes it a practical carry while the account works toward harder-to-build SS units.
- Good bridge before SS carries: Players without Gometa, Woo, Madora, or Shanron can still use Rizzuto (Sage) to keep progressing. It fills damage needs without pretending to replace the whole top tier.
Cons
- Lower ceiling than SS units: Rizzuto (Sage) is consistently placed below SS-tier carries. If the account already owns fully built Gometa or Woo, Rizzuto may shift from main carry to secondary damage.
- Exact route needs live checks: Rizzuto (Sage) still needs live confirmation for its obtain or evolution route. Check the current game UI before planning a farm route, material spend, or trait reroll.

Obtain Methods
- Check live unit menus: Rizzuto (Sage) still needs the live UI for a stable obtain route. Check the current summon banner, unit index, evolution menu, stage rewards, and event menus. The live UI should decide whether Rizzuto (Sage) is a direct pull, evolution, reward, or event unit.
- Protect the Sage form: Once Rizzuto (Sage) is obtained, keep it as a damage option unless the roster has already replaced it with higher-ceiling carries. Feeding or discarding it too early can remove a stable DPS slot from mid-game teams.

Team fit
Use Rizzuto (Sage) as a damage slot in teams that still need a stable carry. Fastwagon can fund placements and upgrades, Shinks can keep the team alive, and Rizzuto can supply damage until a higher-ceiling unit is ready. If the team already has enough damage, use the slot for economy, support, or boss pressure instead.
When it matters
Rizzuto (Sage) matters most in the middle of account progression. It is the kind of unit that helps before the player finishes long evolution chains, rare banner chases, and raid farms. It matters less once the roster has multiple SS carries fully built and traited.
Trait target
Damage traits are the first traits to consider on Rizzuto (Sage), but save rare rerolls until the live card confirms the player will keep using it. Superior is better saved for the unit that actually carries the account's hardest content.
What to verify in game
Check the unit card for attack type, range, cooldown, ultimate behavior, placement cap, upgrade costs, and passive wording. Check the banner, unit index, evolution menu, stage rewards, and event menus to confirm where Rizzuto (Sage) currently comes from.
