Saber’s Profile – Character Overview

Saber is a 5★ Wind Destruction unit introduced in the Fables of the Stars update. She’s designed to be a hypercarry DPS with a strong focus on Ultimate cycling, CRIT scaling, and fast Skill point-positive rotations. Her kit revolves around building Core Resonance, boosting her CRIT DMG, and unleashing high-impact Ultimates with massive burst potential.

With high base Speed, CRIT Rate buffs, and Energy regeneration synergy, Saber excels in boss fights, MoC stages, and any content that rewards fast-paced, single-target pressure.
