The King of Wind is here! A complete analysis of Saber’s skills and Light Cone
In the upcoming 3.4 version of Honkai Impact 3rd, a long-awaited character, Saber, will make her debut. This five-star wind character not only has powerful output capabilities, but also has a unique skill system, which is bound to become a core role in many players’ teams. In this article, we will analyze Saber’s various skills, exclusive Light Cone, and Star Soul effects in detail to help you better realize her potential in the game.
First, let’s take a look at the basic information of this King of Wind. She has a five-star rarity, the attribute is wind, and the destiny is destruction. These basic attributes have already shown her strong combat potential. Next, we will analyze Saber’s abilities in detail from multiple aspects.
Exclusive Light Cone: Endless Coronation
Saber’s exclusive Light Cone is called “A Thankless Coronation”. This Light Cone not only improves her basic attributes, but also gives her powerful combat capabilities. The basic attributes of the Light Cone include HP 952.6, Attack Power 582.12, and Defense Power 529.20. These values provide Saber with a solid foundation, ensuring that she can both output and survive in battle.
The skill effect of Light Cone is divided into two parts:
Knight King: The wearer’s critical damage increases by 36%-72% based on the Light Cone level. In addition, when performing a finishing move, the wearer’s attack power will also increase by 40%-80% based on the level.
Special effect: When the wearer’s energy limit reaches or exceeds 300 points, Saber will restore energy equivalent to 10% of the energy limit and gain a 40%-80% increase in attack power for 2 rounds.
The design of this Light Cone fully reflects the characteristics that Saber should have as a damage-type character, which can not only improve her own output, but also support the team’s continuous combat ability through the energy recovery mechanism.
Normal attack: Founder of the Wind Realm
Saber’s normal attack is called “Wind King Barrier”, which causes wind attribute damage to a single enemy equal to 100% of her own attack power. This seemingly ordinary attack method actually provides basic support for her other skills.
It is worth noting that when Saber casts the Golden Kingship of Liberation, she will gain 2 points of “Heat Resonance” and deal 150% of her attack power to all enemies. If the number of enemy targets is less than or equal to 2/1, she will deal an additional 150%/70% of her attack power damage. This mechanism allows Saber to exert powerful output capabilities when facing different numbers of enemies.
Combat Skill: Hammer-like Storm
Saber’s combat skill “Wind King Hammer” not only causes 150% of her attack power to a single enemy, but also affects adjacent enemies, causing 75% of her attack power damage. More importantly, this skill is closely integrated with the “Heat Resonance” mechanism. When Saber has “Heat Resonance”, if she can restore full energy by consuming these resonance points after casting the combat skill, the damage multiplier of the combat skill will increase according to the number of resonance points, and each resonance point will increase the damage multiplier by 14%. If she cannot restore full energy by consuming resonance points, Saber will immediately gain 2 points of “Heat Resonance”.
This mechanism is cleverly designed, encouraging players to use their skills reasonably while forming a complete cycle system through the consumption and acquisition of resonance points.
Final move: Sword of Promised Victory
Saber’s final move “Sword of Promised Victory” is undoubtedly one of her most powerful skills. She will cause
