Sage vs Raze Fragging Analysis
Sage edges out Raze in a competitive fragging comparison, winning 3 of 5 metrics with notable advantages in KDA efficiency, survivability, headshot accuracy. With only a 3-2 margin based on 51 matches analyzed, this Sage vs Raze matchup remains contestable for both sides. Raze shouldn't feel outgunned — the statistical gap is narrow enough that individual skill, positioning choices, and in-game decision making can easily swing specific encounters in Raze's favor.
Avg KDA
1.52Sage
1.35Raze
Sage holds a slight KDA edge in this matchup, recording 1.52 compared to Raze's 1.35. While this 0.17 point difference indicates Sage tends to come out ahead in engagements, the gap remains small enough that skilled Raze players can overcome it through superior positioning, utility timing, or simply winning crucial aim duels. The data suggests Sage's kit may offer marginally better tools for securing kills while staying alive, but Raze players shouldn't feel disadvantaged when taking fights in this matchup.
Avg Kills
16.1Sage
17.7Raze
Raze substantially outfrags Sage in this matchup, averaging 17.7 kills compared to 16.1 — a difference of nearly 1.6 eliminations per match. When Raze faces Sage, the data clearly shows Raze finding more fragging opportunities and converting them into kills. Sage players should recognize this statistical reality and adjust their approach: play more supportively, focus on enabling teammates, and avoid ego-challenging Raze in situations where your team doesn't need you to take that duel.
Avg Deaths
14.9Sage
16.0Raze
Sage demonstrates markedly better survivability against Raze, recording 14.9 deaths per game versus 16.0. Dying nearly 1.1 fewer times per match gives Sage significantly more impact potential — more opportunities for multi-kills, more presence in clutch rounds, and more economic stability from staying alive. Raze players face a survival deficit that compounds throughout a match, making disciplined positioning and smart disengagements crucial.
DMG/Round
141.5Sage
165.1Raze
The damage differential between Raze and Sage is exceptional: 165.1 ADR compared to just 141.5. Raze deals 23.7 more damage per round on average, indicating absolute dominance in direct combat exchanges. This level of disparity suggests Raze's kit, typical playstyle, or positioning patterns give them massive advantages in dealing damage while Sage struggles to even trade effectively. Sage players should treat Raze as a must-avoid duel and focus entirely on non-combat contributions or utility-based damage.
HS %
30.0%Sage
20.8%Raze
The headshot percentage disparity between Sage and Raze is substantial: 30.0% compared to 20.8%, a 9.2 point difference. Sage consistently displays far superior aim precision in this matchup, turning potential trades into clean kills and surviving encounters that would kill less accurate players. For Raze, challenging Sage in a fair aim duel is statistically unwise. Success requires creating unfair fights — off-angles, utility combinations, multi-person pressure — where Sage's aim advantage cannot fully manifest.

Attack Side Breakdown
Raze demonstrates a modest attack-side advantage over Sage in this matchup, converting 49.8% of attacking rounds versus 47.3%. While this 2.5 point edge gives Raze slightly better site-taking capability, the gap remains narrow enough that skilled Sage players can overcome it through superior execution and team play.
The data from 51 competitive games suggests Raze's kit provides marginally better tools for attack-side scenarios. This could manifest as slightly more effective entry utility, better post-plant stalling, or superior mid-round adaptability. However, Sage teams shouldn't dramatically alter their attacking approach — instead, focus on tightening execute timing, coordinating utility chains more precisely, and ensuring trades are happening when entries fail. Small improvements in team coordination can easily overcome a 2.5% gap.
When taking entry duels, Raze holds a slight statistical advantage but nothing that should change fundamental approach. Sage players should still take confident entries when they have good information or utility support. The key adjustment is ensuring you're not taking unnecessary 50-50 duels — look for angles where you have an advantage through utility, information, or teammate support. Raze can play slightly more aggressively on entries, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.

In post-plant situations, Raze's slight advantage likely stems from better utility for denying defuses or controlling retake angles. Sage should compensate by being more deliberate about post-plant positioning — take spots that offer escape routes or trade potential rather than hero plays. Stack post-plants with teammates when possible, and use utility efficiently to maximize delay time. The 2.5 point gap can be neutralized through smart post-plant fundamentals.
Defense Side Breakdown
Raze shows slightly better defensive capabilities than Sage, winning 52.7% of defense rounds compared to 50.2%. This 2.5 percentage point edge suggests Raze's kit provides marginally better tools for CT-side play, though the gap remains small enough for skilled Sage players to overcome.
When deciding site assignments, Raze can slightly more confidently take solo anchor roles. Their 2.5% defensive advantage likely stems from better stalling utility, superior information gathering, or more effective site-holding positions. Sage should consider pairing with a teammate on their site rather than solo anchoring, or taking positions that allow early rotates rather than committing to extended holds. The advantage is small but worth considering in close games.
Raze demonstrates marginally better retake capability in this matchup. Whether through superior clearing utility, better post-plant positioning, or stronger clutch mechanics, Raze converts retakes at a slightly higher rate. Sage should focus on retaking with numbers — don't take hero 1v1 retakes against Raze when you can wait for teammates. Raze can be slightly more confident in isolated retake situations, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.
On eco and force buy rounds, the 2.5% gap becomes more pronounced as utility advantages compound. Sage should be more conservative with eco aggression against Raze and prioritize saving for full buys where team utility can compensate for individual disadvantages. Raze can play slightly more aggressively on force buys, knowing their defensive kit provides small but meaningful advantages even with limited economy.
Overall Side Analysis
Raze holds clear advantages on both attack (49.8%) and defense (52.7%), establishing themselves as the superior choice in the Sage vs Raze matchup regardless of map side. This consistency across both halves means Raze doesn't need to play for specific sides or rely on winning a particular half to succeed.
Raze's advantage holds across all map types and team compositions. Whether on attack-sided, defense-sided, or balanced maps, Raze performs better. Sage teams should consider compositions that can cover their weaknesses — pair Sage with strong fragging agents who can carry during their difficult matchup encounters, and ensure utility supports Sage's positioning.
For ranked climbing specifically, Raze is the objectively better pick in this matchup. If you're equally comfortable on both agents and frequently face this matchup, practicing Raze provides a measurable ranked advantage. Sage players should focus on team play, utility value, and avoiding direct Raze confrontations rather than trying to outfrag them.
The verdict is clear: Raze wins this matchup on both sides of the map. The combined 5.0 percentage point advantage across attack and defense represents a meaningful statistical edge. Sage isn't unplayable, but faces an uphill battle requiring stronger team support and more disciplined play to compete.
Sentinel vs Duelist Dynamics
The Sentinel (Sage) vs Duelist (Raze) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Sage's Sentinel abilities serve different purposes than Raze's Duelist kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.
Understanding how Sentinel abilities interact with Duelist counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Sage's Sentinel toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Raze's Duelist kit counters others. The Raze advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
