Saber Profile, Skills, Traces and Eidolons

Introductions

Saver is a 5★ character with the Wind element who follows the Path of Destruction.

The solitary Heroic Spirit traverses the long night of fate. The banner of the round table remains unfurled in a dream. Alas, the knight-king of Camelot has yet to reach that ever distant utopia.
Though still a young maiden, she has heeded the call for this most unique iteration of the Holy Grail War. With the Sword in the Stone offering its choice once more, how shall she shatter the illusions of the past?
"The wishes I did not fulfil will end here."

Fate/stay night Banner Details

Saber is part of the Fate/stay night collaboration event which means she is on her own special Collaboration Banner. Collaboration banners are a new Banner type that have their own Pity which will not carry forward to normal Event Warp Banners instead carrying forward to future Collaboration Banners.

If you lose the 50/50 on a Collaboration Banner you will not be able to use the Pity on upcoming Event Characters, only future Collaboration Characters.
