Under the boundless starry sky, in Honkai: Star Rail, there exists a knight from the train of destiny. Her name is Saber. As a wind-elemental character on the annihilation path, her figure, like a blade in the storm, brings endless storms and destruction under the brilliance of her five-star rank.
Saber’s story begins with her core ability—the frequent casting of her ultimate skills. Each ultimate skill not only deals massive burst damage but also serves as the core of her output. On this Star Rail, her combat style is unique. By enhancing her basic attacks and her teammates’ ultimate skills, she stacks the “Furnace Resonance” mechanism, allowing her damage output to expand like wildfire.
Her destiny is clearly different from other characters. As a five-star, wind-elemental annihilation-path character, she is positioned as the main DPS. Every time any teammate casts an ultimate skill, Saber gains energy and stacks of “Furnace Resonance.” This mechanism makes her an indispensable role in the team, with her output ability closely tied to team synergy.
Under the vast starry sky, Saber’s growth journey is also filled with challenges and opportunities. Her priority for development is clear: main storyline, ultimate skills, skills, talents, and basic attacks. Among these, her ultimate skill is her top priority, as it is the core of her output.
Main Storyline: Dragon Knight, Lake’s Blessing, Star Crown.
Dragon Knight grants her a 20% increase in critical hit rate. At the start of battle or when using an enhanced basic attack, she gains the “Mana Burst” effect.
Lake’s Blessing increases her energy capacity to 120 points with an initial energy of 60%, making her combat more flexible.
Star Crown grants her increased critical damage when using skills. Additionally, each stack of “Furnace Resonance” increases her critical damage by 4%, up to a maximum of 8 stacks.
On this Star Rail, the choice of light cones is crucial. Saber’s ultimate equipment is the “Coronation Without Return.” This light cone not only increases her critical damage but also replenishes her energy when casting ultimate skills, ensuring she can cast them more frequently. Other good choices include “The Fall of a Star God” and “The Blood of Past Days.”
The selection of relics and dimensional beads should be based on team configuration. “The Captain of the Wicked Sea” and “The Scholar Lost in the Ocean of Knowledge” are the most suitable relic sets, while “The Stellar Arena” and “The Stopped Salsa Graph” are the top choices for dimensional beads. For the selection of terms, the main term focuses on critical damage, while the secondary terms prioritize critical hit rate and critical damage.
Under the starry sky, Saber’s team composition is equally important. She needs team support to maximize her output capabilities. Characters like Sunday, Bronya, Zabany, Explorer: Memory, Hsingyun, and Kiana are ideal support choices. Their buffs in action speed, critical damage, and energy recovery allow Saber to stack “Furnace Resonance” faster, making her output more stable.
The conclusion is clear: Saber will be one of the most versatile wind-elemental annihilation main DPS characters in Honkai: Star Rail. Her simple yet highly efficient gameplay, with burst damage loops centered on ultimate skills and the unique “Furnace Resonance” mechanism, makes her a powerful addition to any team.
