Revamped Saber Guide – Beginner’s Guide

Saber is an assassin specializing in target locking and bursting down enemy heroes. He is a good ganker with his ultimate Triple Sweep and can be used by beginners but at the same time hard to master. He received a revamp in the Project Next Update which made him relevant again in the meta.

Disclaimer: I’m just a casual gamer and not a pro. I just want to share with you things that works very well for me when playing this hero.

Skills

Passive / Enemy’s Bane: Saber’s basic damage or skills reduces the physical defense of enemies. It stacks up to 5 times and last 5 seconds.

Skill 1 / Flying Sword: Saber brings out 5 flying swords, each sword dealing damage to enemies and after a short while, the swords will fly back to him. When Saber deals basic attack to an enemy, it will shoot one of the sword towards it, dealing damage to the target and reducing the cooldown of his 2nd Skill by 1 second.

Skill 2 / Charge: Saber charges towards a direction, dealing damage to enemies along the way. He gains an enhanced basic attack after the dash.

Skill 3 / Tripe Sweep: Saber charges toward an enemy and knocks the target airborne for 1.2 seconds dealing 3 consecutive blows that deals damage.

Other Tips

• Saber usually lanes in the jungle and find opportunities to gank
• His 1st skill can be used to poke enemies and apply his passive stack
• His passive, when max stacked, can really help him burst down enemy heroes
• Saber can easily burst down low health and squishy heroes with his 1st skill and Ultimate. So make sure to make your targeting on point.
• Dont rush absentmindedly in team fights. It is much better to just stay at the back and wait for your target (Marksman / Squishy heroes) to come out. Keep in mind the he is an Assassin so always wait for the right opportunity to strike.
• You can use Saber’s 2nd skill for escape or for initiation
• Skill Combo: 1st Skill > 2nd Skill > 3rd Skill (Ultimate)
• or 1st Skill > 3rd Skill (Ultimate)
