Saber was once called Duanmeng, a swordsman obsessed with Kendo from an unknown village. He came to Laboratory 1718 to pursue true invincibility, transforming himself into a vicious cyborg.
As a swordsman-turned-cyborg, he wanders the Land of Dawn with dual-wielded swords that can orbit around him and slash through an enemy.

Saber Gameplay Tips and Strategy
The worst thing about Saber is that he’s only strong in the early to mid-game and not in the late game. Take advantage of how strong you are in the early game to dominate the enemy core to spearhead the team’s gold and lead you to victory.

To start, head over to the jungle to get the blue buff. After getting the buff, get the Lithowanderer buff to get extra mana regen for you and your nearby ally. Once you’ve cleared all the jungle creeps, gotten all the buffs, and reached level 4, you can start roaming around the map to kill enemies and push.
In the late-game scenario, it will be hard for you to initiate a clash and be in front because your enemies probably kept up with your items. One of the best things to do in this scenario is to hunt an alone and vulnerable enemy. Hide in the bush near the enemy’s red or blue buff or bush in the side lanes. You can usually find alone marksmen or core enemies in these places.
Note: Use your ULT on the enemy’s core or support ONLY.Â
Conclusion
Saber is one of the strongest assassins in the Land of Dawn that can one-shot kill an enemy with proper item build and positioning. And just like any other assassin, he can be very vulnerable, especially with high crowd-control enemies like Eudora, Aurora, Atlas, etc. Buying defence items and or having a spell like Purify can be really helpful to counter these CC heroes.
