The Arrival of the King of the Wind! Comprehensive Analysis of Saber, the Unrivaled Sovereign Under Heaven!
In the vast continent of Star穹, the legend of the wind has been reawakened. Genshin Impact: Star Rail is about to welcome its version 3.4 update, and a long-awaited character, Saber, will make her glorious debut! She is a five-star Wind character with a Dominance attunement, resembling a fierce gust of wind, and is set to bring about an output revolution in the teams of numerous players! In this article, we will provide a detailed analysis of Saber’s skills, exclusive light cone, and star soul effects, allowing you to command her effortlessly in the game.
First, let’s get to know the basic information about this King of the Wind. She has a five-star rarity, is of Wind element, and has a Dominance attunement. These basic attributes already make her exhibit unparalleled combat potential. Next, we will analyze Saber’s abilities from multiple perspectives.
Exclusive Light Cone: The Endless Coronation
Saber’s exclusive light cone is named “A Thankless Coronation.” This light cone not only enhances her basic attributes but also grants her powerful combat capabilities. The basic attributes of the light cone include 952.6 HP, 582.12 Attack, and 529.20 Defense. These values provide Saber with a solid foundation, ensuring she can both deal damage and survive in combat.
The light cone’s skill effects are divided into two parts:
King of Knights: The wearer’s critical damage increases by 36%-72% based on the light cone’s level. Additionally, when the ultimate skill is cast, the wearer’s Attack increases by 40%-80% based on the level.
Special Effect: When the wearer’s energy reaches or exceeds 300 points, Saber will recover energy equal to 10% of her energy limit and gain a 40%-80% increase in Attack, lasting for 2 turns.
This light cone’s design fully embodies the qualities Saber should have as a DPS character, enhancing both her own output and the team’s sustained combat capability through the energy recovery mechanism.
Normal Attack: The Founder of the Wind Domain
Saber’s normal attack is called “Wind King’s Barrier,” dealing Wind damage equal to 100% of her Attack to a single enemy. This seemingly ordinary attack actually provides foundational support for her other skills.
Notably, when Saber casts her Ultimate, “Golden Royal Authority,” she gains 2 points of “Furnace Resonance” and deals 150% of her Attack as Wind damage to all enemies. If the number of enemies is 2 or fewer, she deals an additional 150%/70% of her Attack damage. This mechanism allows Saber to exert strong output capabilities against different numbers of enemies.
Battle Skill: The Hammer of the Storm
Saber’s battle skill, “Wind King’s Hammer,” deals 150% of her Attack as Wind damage to a single enemy and also affects adjacent enemies, dealing 75% of her Attack damage. More importantly, this skill is closely tied to the “Furnace Resonance” mechanism. When Saber has “Furnace Resonance,” if casting the battle skill can recover full energy by consuming these resonance points, the damage multiplier of the skill increases based on the number of resonance points, with each point increasing the damage by 14%. If it’s not possible to recover full energy by consuming resonance points, Saber will immediately gain 2 points of “Furnace Resonance.”
This mechanism is ingeniously designed, encouraging players to use skills reasonably while forming a complete cycle system through the consumption and acquisition of resonance points.
Ultimate Skill: Victory
Saber’s ultimate skill, “Victory,” will be analyzed in detail in the next section, focusing on its powerful effects and how it fits into her overall kit.
