Introductions
Welcome to our team composition guide for Saber in Honkai: Star Rail. In this guide, we'll explore the best teams to build for Saber, including recommended team compositions, character synergies and everything you need to know to build a great Saber team.
Best Synergies for Saber
Sunday is an absolutely perfect Support Unit for Saber. Sunday is an Action Advance Unit with very strong Buffs and the ability to generate Energy for Saber all while being at worst SP Neutral. Sunday provides 20% CRIT Rate, significant CRIT DMG buff and 30% DMG boost in addition to the Action Advance. Sunday's Ultimate will generate an incredible 72 energy for Saber.
Tribbie is a Harmony Support unit that is very powerful with Saber. Tribbie is a versatile Support that grants stats that Saber does not have: increased Damage Taken on enemies and RES PEN making her a very large Amplifier for Saber's damage. Tribbie also uses her Ultimate very frequently generating a significant amount of Core Resonance stacks. Tribbie can also use the Dance! Dance! Dance! 4★ Lightcone and be very effective even without having a premium 5★ Lightcone.
Silver Wolf is a Nihility Support with excellent damage boosting Debuffs that can spam her Ultimate making her work very well with Saber. Silver Wolf reduces enemy DEF by 57% and enemy All-Type RES by 13%. If the enemy is not Wind Weak she will implant Wind Weakness and reduce their RES by an additional 20% which is as if your carry is always on Element. Normally, Silver Wolf can use her Ultimate every 2 turns with Before the Tutorial Mission Starts, an Energy Regeneration Rate Rope, and Lushaka, the Sunken Seas Planar Set. If Silver Wolf has her E1 she can use her Ultimate every turn which makes her the best Core Resonance generator for Saber.
Cipher is a Nihility Support unit that is excellent with Saber. Cipher provides a large damage gain for Saber through a increased Damage Taken Vulnerability Aura she applies to the all enemies at all times as well as her damage replication mechanic that stores 24% of damage against her Patron target and 16% against all other targets. Cipher deals the stored damage as True Damage when she uses her Ultimate. Cipher does not need to apply any Debuffs for her Damage Amplifiers to work.
Tingyun is a 4★ Harmony Support that generates 50 Energy (60 at E6) for Saber every time Tingyun uses her Ultimate. Tingyun also provides a decent ATK % Buff and DMG% Buff for Saber making her a very compelling option despite being 4★. Tingyun can also use the Dance! Dance! Dance! 4★ Lightcone which is a large team DPS gain.
Huohuo is a Sustain unit that generates energy for Saber whenever Huohuo uses her ultimate. Huohuo's Ultimate will generate 72 Energy for Saber as well as increasing Saber's ATK by 40% for 2 turns. This Energy generation and ATK buff makes Huohuo the best sustain for Saber teams.
Gallagher is a 4★ Abundance Sustainer that advances himself every time he uses Ultimate making him take a lot of turns and generate his Ultimate very quickly. Gallagher builds his Ultimate approximately every 125AV (at 161 SPD) but can generate them as fast as every 111AV (at 180 SPD), which generates a lot of Core Resonance stacks for Saber. Gallagher can also wear the Quid Pro Quo Lightcone to generate Energy for the rest of the team on each of his Turns. Gallagher wearing Quid Pro Quo can generate energy for Saber comparable to Huohuo
Saber's Best Teams
This is not a comprehensive list of teams. The inclusion or exclusion of any given team does not necessarily reflect its power level. We have included several example teams that are more F2P friendly using 4★ characters that are lower power than the 5★ teams as examples. The sustain unit in each team can be swapped out.
