You have advantage on Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration when you take damage.
You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have one or both hands occupied or restrained.

When you use your action to cast a spell, you can make one weapon attack or cast Sweeping Strike as a bonus action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once).

You have honed your reflexes to better avoid area effects. You gain proficiency in Dexterity saving throws.

You can use your War Magic feature at will. In addition, when you make a saving throw, you can choose to add your Charisma modifier to the roll.

16 - Action Surge

On your turn, you can take one additional action. You can use this feature twice per short or long rest.

18 - Sentient Strikes

When you attack a creature you can't see, your attack roll isn't made at disadvantage. Additionally, you are aware of the location of any invisible creature within 30 feet, provided you aren't deafened.

20 - Distant Strike

When you attack, you can teleport up to 10 feet to an unoccupied space you can see before each attack. If you attack at least two different creatures with the action, you can make one additional attack against a third creature.
