Starting stats Saber: Driven Mercenary is only available at 5★ rarity. Only one variation of Saber is currently available in Heroes, based on his Echoes: Shadows of Valentia incarnation. Saber is one of the characters added to the game in the Bitter Enemies update, and became available for summoning by players on July 13, 2017. Alternately, Saber can be made to promote from Villager to Archer, sacrificing the high resistance of Dread Fighter for access to the Killer Bow, and thus Hunter's Volley. This is not necessary for the main game, as the stats of enemies are not high enough to warrant sacrificing high movement and resistance for additional level-ups however, it may be useful for Thabes Labyrinth, which has much stronger enemies than Duma Temple. Dread Fighter also has equal movement to Cavaliers, but has lower movement costs for terrain than mounted units, potentially moving faster than them on the swamps in Celica's portion of Act 4.Īs a Dread Fighter, Saber can promote to Villager at level 10, allowing him to adopt a new class line or simply level up repeatedly through this promotion. Not only does it have a relatively low level requirement and high strength and speed bases, it has Resistance +5 and Apotrope-the latter of which halves damage taken from black magic-which is useful against the many dangerous enemy black magic users, such as Witches, Arcanists, and Cantors. His base speed is also high enough to avoid getting doubled by many enemies even on higher difficulties, which helps make him the best unit available to take attacks from enemy Pirates.Īs a Myrmidon, Saber will be able to promote to Dread Fighter at level 10 as his third-tier promotion, which is among the best classes in Shadows of Valentia. Saber has better defensive stats than the other units in Celica's army when he joins-he has equal defense to Celica and Boey and equal HP to Boey, but does not consume HP when he attacks. Once promoted, Saber's stats will improve further and he will eventually become one of the best combat units in the army. Despite starting at level 1, the Myrmidon promotion only requires level 7, which is one of the lowest requirements in the game. He has solid base stats which allow him to contribute from the moment he joins, and he can promote to Myrmidon very quickly. Saber is a Mercenary who joins Celica's army in early Act 2.
