Saber is a character who utilizes her Ultimate to deal massive damage to all enemies. She possesses a special resource called [Core Resonance] points. Under certain conditions, Saber can also act immediately, using her Skill to consume [Core Resonance] points and fully restore her Energy.

Who is Saber?
Saber possesses an impressive 360-point Energy requirement, yet her unique skill mechanics allow her to quickly charge her Ultimate. Her exceptionally high damage multipliers and frequent actions grant the character significant potential, especially when paired with her signature weapon’s Energy restoration—opening up substantial room for development across various playstyles. However, her buffs suffer from relatively low uptime, and her high action frequency can cause buffs to expire rapidly, requiring a solid understanding of gameplay to optimize her performance and ensure consistency.
- Pros
High burst potential with strong AoE Ultimate and multi-hit mechanics.
Unique energy management via Core Resonance enables frequent skill cycling.
Flexible utility with team skill point recovery and self-buff stacking.
- Cons
High Energy cost (360) limits ultimate uptime without proper setup.
Buff duration is short and often mismatched with her high action frequency.
Core Resonance mechanics require precise timing and team coordination to maximize.
Skill Priority
Ultimate = Skill = Talent > Basic Attack
Saber’s core mechanics are primarily unlocked through her extra Traces, which should be your top priority for investment. Her main damage contribution comes from her Ultimate, so max it out first. The damage scaling for her Basic Attack and Skill is relatively lower, so leveling them to mid-level benchmarks is sufficient.
Overall, almost all of her damage-related abilities—Ultimate, Skill, and Enhanced Basic Attack—should eventually be upgraded. The only exception is the minor HP-boosting Trace node, which can be safely skipped or saved for last.

Best Light Cone for Saber
These are the top Light Cone choices for Saber.
| Light Cone | Stats Lv.80 | Wht It Fits |
| A Thankless Coronation 5★ (Signature) | HP: 952ATK: 582DEF: 529 | Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG. When the wearer uses their Ultimate, increases their ATK based on their Max Energy (up to a limit of >300 Max Energy) and regenerates Energy. |
| Something Irreplaceable 5★ | HP: 1164ATK: 582DEF: 397 | Increases the wearer’s ATK. Upon defeating an enemy or being hit, restores HP and increases DMG dealt. |
| On the Fall of an Aeon 5★ | HP: 1058ATK: 529DEF: 397 | Increases the wearer’s ATK. After using their Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, their ATK is further increased (stacks). This effect is enhanced after the wearer inflicts Weakness Break on an enemy. |
| The Moles Welcome You 4★ | HP: 1058ATK: 476DEF: 265 | Increases the wearer’s ATK. Using their Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate increases their ATK (stacks multiple times). |

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Saber
- Recommendation
Wavestrider Captain + Inert Salsotto
Wavestrider Captain requires two designated single-target actions from our side before unleashing their Ultimate to maximize its effect. When activated during their own turn, it can also extend the duration of the Captain’s 48% ATK buff. In contrast, the difference between Inner Relics is minimal, often amounting to less than the value of one substat roll. Therefore, players should choose based on their own substat priorities and overall stat balance.
- Other Option
Scholar Lost in Erudition + Firmament Frontline: Glamoth
When selecting the Firmament Frontline: Glamoth planar set, achieving 135 Speed is necessary to activate its 1-stack effect. If the Captain’s buff uptime is considered insufficient, the Scholar Lost in Erudition set can serve as an alternative. However, its damage output is approximately 2-3 substat rolls weaker compared to the Captain set.
Main Stats and Sub Stats Priority
| Body | CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG |
| Feet | SPD > ATK |
| Sphere | Wind DMG |
| Rope | ATK |
| Sub-Stats Priority | CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ATK > SPD |
Best Teams for Saber
| Premium Team | Saber + Sunday + Tribbie + HuoHuo | Sunday is the top priority support. For the second support slot, numerous alternatives are available.If Huohuo is unavailable, any standard sustain/survival unit can be used as a replacement. |
| Secondary Team | Saber + Tingyun + Ruan Mei + HuoHuo | If Sunday is unavailable, Tingyun can be used as a substitute, effectively triggering Saber’s self-advance forward action.The second support slot can be filled based on your available roster. |
| F2P Team | Saber + Tingyun + RMC + Gallagher | This is a lower-investment option. For the sustain unit Gallagher, equipping the Light Cone “Quid Pro Quo” can accelerate energy regeneration for the team. |
Recommended Eidolons
- E1 | ★★★★☆ (Good)
E1 grants an additional [Core Resonance], functions as an extra source of Energy regeneration, indirectly accelerating her energy recovery cycle. While the boost to her Ultimate is significant, it’s important to note that Saber’s Basic Attack and Skill still constitute about half of her total damage output, which somewhat diminishes the overall value gain from this constellation..
- E4 | ★★★★☆ (Good)
The effect of Eidolon 4 primarily serves as a setup for her sixth Eidolon. In standard, short-duration rotations, it’s difficult to maintain its full uptime consistently. Therefore, it is not recommended to actively pull for the fourth Eidolon by itself..
- E6 | ★★★★★ (Excellent)
Ultimate gains 20% DEF Ignore and can be used twice consecutively at the start of its activation. For every 3 Ultimates used, one instance will additionally restore a fixed 300 Energy. This nearly doubles damage output efficiency, representing a fundamental and transformative power spike.
Conclusion
Saber’s Eidolons primarily focus on enhancing Energy regeneration, Ultimate damage, and Ultimate activation frequency. However, since her total damage output is split between her Basic Attacks and her Ultimate, the actual performance gain from these Eidolons is effectively reduced by nearly half. From a cost-effectiveness perspective, the priority should be:
Saber’s Signature Light Cone > others supporting upgrades.
