The King of the Winds: Saber’s Endless Pursuit
In the vast starry expanse of Houkai: Star Rail, a legendary figure is about to make her debut. This chosen knight, hailing from humanity’s most glorious legends, is named Saber. Now, she will appear in a brand-new form for the first time in version 3.4. This is not merely the arrival of a character, but an epic portrayal of glory, oaths, and pursuit.
Saber’s story begins with an unrequited coronation. As a 5-star Wind character, she bears the destiny of “Destruction.” Her exclusive weapon, “A Thankless Coronation,” holds the power of the knight king. When equipped, it increases the wearer’s critical damage by 36% to 72%. At the moment of her Ultimate, this coronation grants an attack boost of 40% to 80%. Once her energy reaches a certain threshold, this knight king can even recover energy for herself and sustain high-damage output.
At the start of battle, Saber carries the power of the Dragon’s Furnace Core. This core not only grants her 1 point of resonance at the beginning of combat but also injects her with 3 points of resonance energy whenever an ally uses their Ultimate. Each point of resonance restores 10 points of energy to Saber, ensuring her combat rhythm remains steady. This mechanism makes Saber a unique asset in team battles, enhancing both her own strength and the synergy of the team.
Saber’s basic attack, “Wind King’s Barrier,” seems simple but hides immense power. Each strike deals 100% of her attack power as Wind damage. However, when she unleashes “Liberated Golden Sovereignty,” the true storm begins. This enhanced attack deals 150% damage to all enemies and triggers an additional 70% damage based on the number of enemies. When only one foe remains, this strike becomes the purest force of destruction.
In her skill, “Wind King’s Hammer,” we witness the true majesty of the knight king. Each swing of the hammer deals 150% damage to the target and 75% secondary damage to nearby enemies. When Saber has sufficient Furnace Core resonance, the hammer’s power is further amplified, with each point of resonance increasing damage by 14%. This is not merely a skill enhancement but a perfect blend of energy and power.
When Saber activates her Ultimate, “Oath of Victory Sword,” the entire battlefield is dominated by her radiance. This strike deals 280% damage to all enemies and follows up with 10 consecutive hits of 110% damage on random targets. What’s more unique is that the Ultimate unlocks the enhanced basic attack “Liberated Golden Sovereignty,” allowing Saber to maintain her peak output in the following combat.
In Saber’s talents, we see the true spirit of a knight. “Dragon’s Furnace Core” not only provides her with energy support but also triggers a 40% damage boost when allies use their Ultimates. This talent makes Saber an indispensable member of any team. Her secret skill, “The Knight King’s Arrival,” grants her a 35% attack boost and provides 2 points of Furnace Core resonance, laying the foundation for the battles ahead.
Saber’s additional abilities are equally impressive. “Star Crown” further enhances her combat capabilities, making her a versatile and powerful addition to any team. With her arrival in version 3.4, Saber is set to redefine the meaning of strength and glory in the world of Houkai: Star Rail.
