Saber is a new character in Honkai: Star Rail, arriving as part of the Fate/Stay Night collaboration event. She is a 5-star Wind element character who follows the Destruction path. Saber excels as a DPS, focusing on ATK and CRIT stats. Saber’s abilities center around dealing high burst damage, particularly through her Ultimate skill. She performs best on teams that can provide energy regeneration and ATK buffs, allowing her to unleash her full damage potential more effectively.
What Are Saber’s Abilities and Skills?
Abilities:
- Basic Attack (Invisible Air: Barrier of the Wind King): Deals Wind damage to a single target.
- Skill (Strike Air: Hammer of the Wind King): Deals Wind DMG of 150% of her Attack to a single target and AoE Wind DMG of 75% of her Attack. If she has Core Resonance stacks and uses them to fully restore her Energy after the attack, her DMG increases by 14% for each stack consumed. If not, she gains 3 stacks of Core Resonance.
- Ultimate (Excalibur): Deals DMG of 280% of her ATK, followed by 10 separate hits of Wind damage targeting a single enemy, each dealing 110% of her ATK. After activating her Ultimate, her next Basic ATK changes to Release, the Golden Scepter, which becomes her only available Basic Attack.
- Release, the Golden Scepter – Grants her 2 stacks of Core Resonance dealing Wind DMG of 150% of her ATK to all enemies. Extra Wind DMG of 150% of Saber’s ATK for 2 enemies & 220% for just 1.

Exploring Saber’s Light Cone and Skills
King of Knights:
Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 36%. When using Ultimate, increases the wearer’s ATK by 40%, and if the wearer’s Max Energy is greater than or equal to 300, regenerates a fixed amount of Energy equal to 10% of the wearer’s Max Energy and once again increases the wearer’s ATK by 40%, lasting for 2 turns.
Light Cone:
Saber’s best Light Cone, “A Thankless Coronation” boosts CRIT DMG and when the Ultimate is activated, the wearer gains increased ATK. If Max Energy is at least 300, Energy equal to 10% of Max Energy is recovered and will receive an additional ATK boost for 2 turns.
Superimpose L1-L5:
CRIT DMG: 36%/ 45%/ 54%/ 63%/ 72%
ATK: 40%/ 50%/ 60%/ 70%/ 80%
Saber is a powerful DPS thanks to her ability to deal significant burst Wind damage through her Ultimate and skill. She increases her DMG by accumulating and consuming Core Resonance stacks, and her attacks scale strongly with ATK and CRIT stats, allowing her to quickly eliminate enemies so will be a great addition for your team.
