Saber is a Wind Destruction unit in Honkai: Star Rail, and she's all about laying down as much AoE damage as possible. She's great for any sort of content against multiple enemies, but with the right build and team composition, she'll be effective in almost any scenario.
If you're a fan of watching pretty lights hit for big damage numbers, then Saber is definitely the servant for you. This guide covers how to build Saber, from her preferred Light Cones to the stats you need in order to make the King of Knights shine in Honkai: Star Rail.

Aim for a crit ratio of at least 1:2, and make sure Saber is faster than your support units by at least one point (though the latter might not always apply to all supports).
Saber is a DPS hypercarry, which means she works best if her entire team is focused on making her as strong as possible. Since she primarily scales off ATK, players will want to build her how they would traditional DPS characters like The Herta or Argenti. Focus on getting ATK and CRIT stats while keeping her SPD relatively high (134 or any value slighter faster than your support's SPD).
Best Relic Sets for Saber in Honkai: Star Rail - HSR
As a Wind Destruction character who relies on dealing direct damage with her Ultimate, Saber has three viable Relic Set options (as listed above). Waverider Captain is arguably the best choice here, as she'll often be targeted by the team's support units, and she'll be spamming her Ultimate throughout the fight. This Relic Set gives its wearer stacks of "Help," which increases their attack when consued after using an Ultimate.
The second-best option is the ever-reliable Eagle of Twilight Line, which boosts Wind DMG and advances the wearer's action by 35% after they use their Ultimate. It's perfect for Saber, though Waverider Captain tends to crank out bigger numbers in a well-rounded team.
Lastly, we have Scholar Lost in Erudition, which bumps up its wearer's CRIT Rate and Ultimate DMG while also buffing the damage dealt by their next Skill. Saber will be using her Ultimate a lot, and this set will bump up her damage output nicely.
Planar Ornaments
There are several good Planar Ornament options for Saber, and what you choose all boils down to what stats you lack. Consider the following when building her:
- Space Sealing Station for more ATK
- Firmament Frontline: Glamoth for more ATK and overall DMG after reaching 135/160 SPD
- Inert Salsotto for CRIT Rate and Ult DMG
Best Saber Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail - HSR
As with almost every character in HSR, Saber's best Light Cone is her signature one: A Thankless Coronation. This gives Saber all the stats she could ever want:
- CRIT DMG
- Percentage ATK after using her Ultimate
- Energy Regeneration that further boosts her ATK
If you don't have the Stellar Jades to pull for her Signature Light Cone, then you can also try the following:
- On the Fall of an Aeon (Herta Store LC): Increases ATK when hitting and inflicting Weakness Break
- Thus Burns the Dawn (Phainon 5-star LC): Increases SPD and DMG, and grants DEF Ignore.
- A Trail of Bygone Blood (Battle Pass LC): Increases CRIT Rate, Skill DMG, and Ultimate DMG.
- Under the Blue Sky (Gacha LC): Increases ATK, and if the wearer defeats an enemy. Additionally increases CRIT Rate.
