Is SCH + AST the meta?

[Risvertasashi]

I was curious on the world first savage race, and checking through most of the contender streams, they run SCH + AST combo.

Some don't stream so i don't know their healer combo, but it seems odd that SGE is missing, is it due to recovery issues?

Some groups are running sage. One is running SGE+SCH which is particularly interesting, and has the potential to become the meta due to its high performance in high end content until now.

But it's too early to say what the meta is yet. Things are still settling. Once groups are through the content and start optimizing kills week to week, then the meta will take shape.

SCH SGE is an unorthodox comp that I kind of half-predicted to happen, similar to how SCH ASTnoct was viable even if unnecessary. But now that Sage isn't like Astro and can just choose to go regen, a double shield comp is very much a viable thing - especially since you don't need to actually use Galvanize / Eukrasia shields to justify playing them. Or you could alternate between them, depending who has Indom / Ixochole ready or who has the edge in MP economy.

Really happy to see more unorthodox comps entering the game.
