The Arrival of the King of the Winds: Saber’s Grand Debut in Honkai: Star Rail
In the vast expanse of the Astral Star Realm, Honkai: Star Rail is about to witness the arrival of a new character who will set hearts ablaze—Saber. As a five-star character, her element is wind, and her destiny is that of a god of destruction. Her debut will undoubtedly ignite the battlefields of the Astral Star Realm, allowing every pioneer to experience the shock and glory she brings.
This Valkyrie from the Path of Destruction possesses unparalleled power and wisdom. Her exclusive weapon, “A Thankless Coronation,” embodies the majesty of a king, boasting 952.6 HP, 582.12 ATK, and 529.20 DEF. The effects of this weapon are nothing short of extraordinary: it increases the wearer’s critical hit damage by 36% to 72%, and boosts attack power by 40% to 80% when the ultimate skill is cast. If the energy reaches 300 points or more, it can also direct energy recovery and continuously enhance attack power.
At the very start of battle, Saber gains 1 point of Furnace Resonance, a mysterious energy that persists throughout the fight. When an ally uses their ultimate skill, her damage output increases by 40%, and she gains 3 points of Furnace Resonance. For every point of Furnace Resonance consumed, she recovers 10 points of energy, a conversion efficiency that is truly remarkable.
Her basic attack, “Wind King’s Domain,” deals 100% ATK worth of wind damage to a single enemy. Her enhanced basic attack, “Liberated Golden Sovereignty,” is even more formidable, dealing 150% ATK worth of damage to all enemies. When the number of enemies is reduced to 2 or 1, her damage output increases by an additional 150% or 70%, respectively.
Saber’s skill, “Wind King’s Hammer,” is equally impressive, dealing 150% ATK worth of damage to a single enemy, while adjacent targets take 75% of that damage. If she possesses Furnace Resonance at the time, the skill’s damage multiplier increases by 14% for each point, and she immediately recovers full energy. If unable to reach full energy, she instantly gains 2 points of Furnace Resonance.
Most breathtaking of all is her ultimate skill, “Sword of Promised Victory,” which deals 280% ATK worth of wind damage to all enemies, followed by 10 consecutive random attacks on a single target, each dealing 110% ATK worth of damage. After casting her ultimate skill, her next basic attack is replaced by “Liberated Golden Sovereignty,” making her combat rhythm more flexible and unpredictable.
As a true king, Saber also possesses a unique secret technique called “Entrance of the Knight King.” Upon use, her attack power increases by 35% at the start of the next battle, lasting for 2 rounds, and she gains 2 points of Furnace Resonance. This powerful opening advantage allows her to gain the upper hand from the very beginning of the battle.
In her Star Soul system, we see her deep connection to the kingdom. The first Star Soul, “Lost Chalk Fortress,” increases her ultimate skill damage by 50% and grants an additional point of Furnace Resonance after basic attacks or skills. The second Star Soul, “Sealed Round Table Vow,” increases the critical hit damage of her enhanced skills by 50%, with an additional 5% increase in critical hit damage for each point of Furnace Resonance gained, up to a maximum of 10 stacks. The third Star Soul, “Fifteen Centuries of Pursuit,” increases her ultimate skill level by 2 and her basic attack level by 1. The fourth Star Soul, “Fourteen Winters,” further enhances her abilities, making her an even more formidable force on the battlefield.
With her overwhelming strength, strategic versatility, and majestic aura, Saber is set to dominate the Astral Star Realm. Her arrival marks a new era for all pioneers, promising battles filled with glory and excitement.
