Honkai Star Rail Saber Kit Overview
The Honkai Star Rail x Fate collaboration introduces Saber as a limited 5-star Wind unit on the Destruction Path. Leaks from Shiroha and Luna reveal that her abilities are designed to deliver massive Break Damage and reward team coordination. Here’s how her Saber kit is structured:
Basic Attack & Skill
Saber’s basic attack deals Wind damage to a single enemy. Her skill follows up with Wind AoE damage to the main target and adjacent enemies, while granting stacks of a buff (name unknown) that ties into her enhanced abilities later.
Ultimate & Extra-Ultimate
Saber’s Ultimate strikes one target, deals splash damage to nearby enemies, and then unleashes additional Wind strikes at random enemies. If enhanced, her Extra-Ultimate heals the entire team, hits a primary enemy and adjacent foes repeatedly, and ends with full AoE Wind damage to all enemies. This gives her extreme value in both sustain and high-impact AoE.

Talent and Bonus Trace
The central mechanic of Saber’s kit revolves around ally Ultimates. Every time an ally uses their Ultimate, Saber gains one stack of her buff, increasing her energy recharge rate and making her harder to kill. At full stacks, she gets an enhanced Ultimate and a raised energy cap.
- T1: Increases damage and defense penetration with each stack during Ultimate.
- T2: Recovers energy when taking damage, with bonus effects if buffed.
- T3: Gains speed when entering battle.
HSR Saber’s Role in Break Teams
The Saber kit is clearly built to enhance Break Damage team comps. She’s rumored to be the next major Break DPS after Firefly, with strong synergy alongside Ruan Mei. Her damage increases based on enemy Break Gauges, allowing her to melt through shielded enemies with ease. If you love breaking shields and unleashing explosive follow-ups, Saber will be a perfect fit for your team.
Conclusion
Saber’s kit brings a refreshing new dynamic to Honkai Star Rail’s combat system. With powerful Break-focused skills, team healing, and flexible AoE potential, Saber stands out as a strong and stylish collaboration unit. With her banner set to go live on July 11, 2025, now’s the time to save your Stellar Jades if you want to add her to your squad.
