The Legend of the Wind, the Arrival of the King: Saber’s Stunning Debut in Star Rail
In the vast and boundless Star River Continent, Genshin Impact: Star Rail is about to welcome a new character who will ignite passion and excitement—Saber. As a 5-star character, her element is wind, and her destiny is that of a god of destruction. Her arrival will undoubtedly set the battlefields of this starry expanse ablaze, making every pioneer feel the shock and glory.
This Valkyrie from the Path of Destruction possesses unparalleled strength and wisdom. Her exclusive weapon, a claymore named “A Thankless Coronation,” embodies the majesty of a king. It boasts 952.6 HP, 582.12 attack, and 529.20 defense. The weapon’s effects are nothing short of extraordinary: it increases the wielder’s critical damage by 36% to 72%, and when the ultimate skill is cast, the attack increases by 40% to 80%. If the energy reaches 300 points or more, it can direct energy recharge and continuously boost attack.
At the start of battle, Saber gains 1 point of Core Resonance, a mysterious energy that persists throughout the fight. When an ally casts their ultimate skill, her damage output increases by 40%, and she gains 3 points of Core Resonance. For every point of Core Resonance consumed, she recovers 10 energy points fixed, a conversion efficiency that is truly remarkable.
Her normal attack, “Wind King’s Barrier,” deals 100% attack damage as wind damage to a single enemy. Her enhanced normal attack, “Liberated Golden Authority,” is even more formidable, dealing 150% attack damage to all enemies. When the number of enemies is reduced to 2 or 1, her damage output can increase by an additional 150% or 70%.
Saber’s skill, “Wind King’s Hammer,” is equally impressive. She deals 150% attack damage to a single enemy, while nearby targets take 75% damage. If she has Core Resonance at this time, the skill’s damage multiplier increases by 14% per point, and she immediately recovers full energy. If she cannot reach full energy, she immediately gains 2 points of Core Resonance.
Even more stunning is her ultimate skill, “Sword of the Victory Oath.” This strike deals 280% attack damage as wind damage to all enemies, followed by 10 consecutive random single-target attacks, each dealing 110% attack damage. After casting the ultimate skill, her next normal attack is replaced by “Liberated Golden Authority,” making her combat rhythm more flexible and varied.
As a true king, Saber also possesses a unique secret technique, “The Knight King’s Arrival.” Upon use, her attack increases by 35% at the start of the next battle, lasting for 2 rounds, and she gains 2 points of Core Resonance. This powerful opening advantage allows her to gain the upper hand from the very beginning.
In her Star Soul system, we see her deep connection to the kingdom. The first Star Soul, “The Lost Chalk Fortress,” increases her ultimate skill damage by 50% and grants an additional point of Core Resonance after a normal attack or skill. The second Star Soul, “The Sealed Round Table Vow,” increases the critical damage of her enhanced skills by 50%, and each point of Core Resonance gained increases critical damage by an additional 5%, up to a maximum of 10 stacks. The third Star Soul, “The Pursuit of Fifteen Centuries,” increases her ultimate skill level by 2 and her normal attack level by 1. The fourth Star Soul, “Fourteen Centuries of…”
