Best Saber teams in Honkai Star Rail
When the Honkai: Star Rail x Fate/Stay Night collab launched, it didn't just add Saber to the lineup. It added a tempest of might cloaked in golden light. A 5-star Wind Destroyer, Saber feeds on Excalibur swings.
To fire up her real potential, it's not just about the hottest gear, you also need the right team.
Here's how to craft Saber's dream team and unleash mayhem on the battlefield.
The Core of Saber's Power
Saber's gameplay revolves around one thing, spamming Ultimates. Her Talent, Dragon Core Reactor, buffs her each time a teammate uses an Ultimate. Her own Ultimate deals massive AoE damage and powers her momentum by resetting her actions. The outcome? A death spiral, if you can just sustain the motor.
So, her dream team doesn't simply back her damage, it feeds her groove. Each team mate should be assisting with quicker Ultimates, action progression or enemy debuff. Consider Saber your ballerina, you just need the right one.
The BEST Saber Teams in Honkai Star Rail!
Team Blueprint: Who Makes Saber Shine?
1. The Enabler: Sunday or Bronya
Sunday is the most efficient here. Its Action Advance mechanic gets Saber taking turns faster and increases her energy, both of her core requirements. Bronya is a great safety net.
Other selections in this slot:
Tingyun
: Applies Energy and ATK buffs. Dependable and fast.
Ruan Mei:
universal buffer who mitigates damage taken and boosts SPD.
Robin
: Buffs damage and keeps Saber from being left in the dust in quick fights.
2. The Amplifier: Tribbie or Silver Wolf
This is just as Tribbie is rocket fuel for Saber.
It leaves enemies more exposed, and its follow up attacks snowball beautifully with Saber's assault. If Tribbie's not on your list, like Silver Wolf or Jiaoqiu provide excellent synergy. They lower enemy defenses and scale up Ultimate damage ,ideal for Saber's energy cycle.
Other notable mentions:
Cipher
: Drops nice passive debuffs and slots nicely into a speed-focused Saber comp.
Remembrance Trailblazer:
Distinctive selection that amplifies True DMG and can propel Saber forward in action sequence.
3. The Lifeline: Huohuo or Aventurine
As powerful as Saber is, she can't Excalibur her way out of a team wipe. Huohuo is a dream sustain unit, canning the squad and leisurely infusing Energy.
If you don't have her, Aventurine is a tanky option with a shield that buffs CRIT DMG taken by enemies which indirectly buffs Saber's burst.
4-star options:
Gallagher
: Shockingly potent support healer. His double Quid Pro Quo can assist with energy regeneration in clutch moments.
Lynx or Bailu:
2nd not good for Energy but keeps team alive.
HIGH TIER DAMAGE! BEST E0 SABER Guide & Build [Best Relics, Light Cones & Teams] - Star Rail
Saber isn't about spamming Skill or mindlessly chasing stats. She's a beat person. Let her loose with Ultimates and she's a blizzard of golden light. Each teammate should be a metronome or amplifier, pushing her rhythm forward or increasing her dynamics.
If you can build around her cadence, you're no longer just playing Honkai: Star Rail, you're conducting a symphony with Excalibur as the climax.

How to complete the Tracing Vanishing Trails event in Genshin Impact
Image via: HoYoverse Tracing Vanishing Trails is an investigative event introduced with Version 5.8 in Genshin Impact. With Yelan and her new snazzy outfit as the centerpiece, this limited-time event runs the players through a world of espionage, clue-hunting, and deduction. With the Dark Financier skulking around in the shadows, your role is to calmly piece through the evidence, building it stage by stage to buttress the unraveling from question. Here's everything you will need to know to traverse the event seamlessly while snagging all the rewards. A Case with Yelan: What is the Event In essence, Tracing Vanishing Trails is an investigation and exploration event instead of fighting-heavy ones. The storyline enumerates Yelan, the Liyue master of the intelligence world. She offers players a one-of-a-kind gadget known as the Forensic Imaging Device, which helps locate hidden clues in different locations. Collect evidence in six stages and finally confront the Dark Financier. Primogems, Hero's Wit, Sanctifying Unction, and talent materials are awarded for every stage you complete, so this is just as much an enjoyable story-driven adventure as it is a faster path for your progression. Tracing Vanishing Trails Event FULL DAY 1 Genshin Impact How to Unlock Six stages characterize the event, each unlocked over a couple of days: Stage 1 : Counter-Surveillance Point – August 14, 2025 Stage 2 : Key Stronghold – August 14, 2025 Stage 3: Harbor Pier – August 15, 2025 Stage 4: On the Cargo Ship – August 15, 2025 Stage 5: TBA Case Location – August 18, 2025 Stage 6: Final Confrontation – August 18, 2025 This pacing makes sure that players remain interested in the investigation as the crescendo of suspense builds with the unfolding story. Stage Highlights : From Campfires to Cargo Bombs Stage 1: The First Clues The journey begins by way of Yelan, who sends you to Cheyu Vale to investigate further. The three major evidence items, the campfire, wooden boat, and suspicious pit are found here. Using the Forensic Imaging Device, match the scene with the given records to find discrepancies. Stage 2: Key Stronghold Things heat up at the Stronghold. Players must identify four pieces of evidence: footsteps, a broken crate, a stone in a special room, and a lamp placed oddly in a tree. The imaging device is key here, guiding you to spot what doesn't belong. Stage 3: Harbor Pier By now, crates with mysterious markings begin appearing. These objects hold more secrets than they seem, and once scanned, reveal the trail of the Dark Financier's dealings. One such clue involves a small boat with engraved symbols. Part 3: Harbor Pier - Tracing Vanishing Trails |【Genshin Impact】 Stage 4: Dismantling the Threat The pace shifts from detective work to direct action. Onboard a cargo ship, five hidden bombs must be dismantled. Unlike earlier stages, no imaging device is needed, the bombs are marked in your case records and can be identified by their yellow markers. This stage ups the tension, making quick observation your best ally. If you're looking for an event that mixes storytelling with gameplay depth, Tracing Vanishing Trails is one you won't want to miss. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

Honkai Star Rail 3.6 banners leaked, new characters, new Relics and more
Image via: HoYoverse With leaks spilling two brand new characters of 5-star caliber, reruns, and even relic updates, the hype around Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 is already brewing. This patch could very well be the greatest turning point in team-building strategy for those Trailblazers carefully hoarding their Stellar Jade. Two New Recruits, Two Very Different Roads Patch 3.6 welcomes Month of Evernight and Permansor Terrae, introducing new mechanics through summon-style abilities. Though their kits vary widely, they share a single common objective-to inject flexibility and innovation into team compositions. Evernight is the Phase 1 Frost Remembrance character. Her entire kit centers around a Memoria sprite called Eevee that boosts her damage and healing and offers crowd control protection. The Memoria stacking mechanic will please those players that enjoy layered DPS action since the stacks enable powerful finishers once fully charged. Evernight's damage amplification and ability to expose enemy weaknesses feel great for players who want a good balance of their own power and team synergy. HSR 3.6 IS ACTUALLY INSANE?! | FREE DAN HENG SP CONFIRMED & MORE EVERNIGHT DETAILS - HSR 3.6 LEAKS While Phase 2 welcomes Permansor Terrae, Preserver Cantankerous with a somewhat rare combination of buffs and shields, cane-rattle pushbroom super-strong shielding, and the rest stands apart. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo Terrae's shields, unlike those from sustain characters, scale roughly with attack power, and his skills push allies forward via advancement of actions and damage amplification. His skill kit, moreover, allows follow-up attacks when buffed allies take their turns, thus making Terrae a fluid option for any team, be it defensively-strong or aggressively-focused. NEW UPDATE! CONFIRM 3.6 TO 4.2 BANNER ROADMAP! Evernight, Castorice, Cyrene - Honkai Star Rail To Cast and Anaxa Return While not yet officially confirmed, a leak indicated the possibility of reruns for Castorice (Quantum Remembrance) and Anaxa (Wind Erudition). For those that missed grabbing these versatile units the first time, 3.6 may finally be their second attempt. For months, ever since the launch, Trailblazers have pondered the age old question of whether to spend or save their resources. After monumentally delivering two summoner-oriented heavy hitters back to back in patch 3.6, it feels like the question is more pressing than ever. Evernight will razzle-dazzle Remembrance strategies while Terrae might just handily contest underwater with Adventurine as the next big Preservation pick. So if all goes down with the rerun, it might end up digging deeper into everyone's wallets and resources. NEW UPDATE! RERUN CHARACTER BANNER ROADMAP FOR 3.6-4.0 | Castorice, Cipher, Yunli - Honkai Star Rail Beyond Banners, Relics and Future Content New relic sets would be developed by the game to enhance the unique playstyle of these characters. While keeping details stashed away, relics that somewhat synergize with HP scaling Units of Ice or attack scaling Units of Preservation might make existing meta builds rarer. Final Thought: Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 isn't only about bringing flashy new faces into the game; it's about evolving how teams work. This patch is turning out to be one of the biggest yet, with Evernight's DPS mechanics and Terrae's shields gaining more presence. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

Honkai Star Rail leak reveals Dan Heng Permansor Terrae kit and Eidolons
Image via: HoYoverse The Astral Express carries winds full of rumors about a formidable new ally- Dan Heng Permansor Terrae. Styled in lore as the Chrysos Heir, guarding Earth's Coreflame, the leaked kit of this soon-to-be-released unit hints that he represents a Preservation Path like never seen, a walking fortress whose shields are built from the strength of his sheer Attack power and not Defense. A Story Rooted in Permanence Prior to his expected arrival on the battlefield, in the drip marketing stages, Permansor Terrae was described as the chest of Georios and the body of a walking dragon, bearing a thousand years of torment to keep a dying world from crashing down. It is a story mixed with stoic endurance and mythic imagery that sets the character up as one who holds the line but walks with the allies onto survival. Preservation with a Twist Whereas traditional Preservation characters tend to build their shields from defense, leaks suggest that Dan Heng Permansor Terrae builds his from ATK, giving new possibilities to team compositions. His leaked base stats fit with this hybrid playstyle: HP: 1047 ATK: 485 DEF: 848 SPD: 97 Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae Full Kit Breakdown & Early Value Discussion | Honkai: Star Rail Abilities Built for Endurance and Support Basic Attack: Deals physical damage to a single foe. Skill : Grants the Bondmate buff to an ally and shields all allies for three turns. These shields can stack but are capped at 300% of the current highest value. Ultimate : Deals Physical damage to all foes, and grants allies to deal offset damage with shields for three turns, boosting the 'Souldragon', a special follow-up attacker triggered on their turn. Traces for Tactical Depth Dan Heng Permansor Terrae's leaked Traces focus on speed, energy gain, and team support: Boosts the ATK of the 'Bondmate' by 15% after using his skill. Gains an Action Advance of 40% at the start of the battle. Enhances Souldragon turn rate and grants extra Energy when 'Bondmate' lands attacks. NEW BEST SHIELDER + BUFFER!? Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae Looks CRAZY & First Impressions (HSR) While players just have to wait to actually play him, these leaks show a Preservation character who blurs the line between damage dealer and protector. Since shields are tied to ATK scaling, Dan Heng Permansor Terrae may turn the ways players think about shield-centric strategies, especially in teams that rely Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.
