Saber
Saber is a Legendary sword known for its high damage output, making it one of the strongest swords available in the First Sea. Its damage allows it to remain relevant longer than most early-game weapons and gives it some usefulness in the Second Sea.
The upgraded Saber V2 is a decent PvP sword, especially for players progressing through the Second Sea. Its strong damage can punish opponents effectively and make fights end quickly when attacks connect.
However, Saber begins to struggle as players advance further into the game. Its abilities are heavily affected by Instinct, making them much less reliable against experienced opponents. The sword also suffers from very slow M1 attacks, which hurts its performance in both PvP and grinding.
While Saber is an excellent sword for its stage of progression, it is generally recommended to upgrade to a stronger weapon before entering the Third Sea, where many swords offer better speed, utility, and overall effectiveness.
Obtainment:
Saber (V1)
Obtained by defeating the Saber Expert after completing the Saber Puzzle.
Has a 100% drop chance.
Saber V2
To upgrade Saber to V2, the player must:
Have at least 1,000,000 Bounty/Honor.
Defeat a player of a similar level (within roughly 25% of your level range).
Upon success, the message:
"Something weird has occurred to your Saber" will appear.
If the player meets all requirements but does not own Saber, the message "Something weird has happened, but you lack the required item." will appear.
Notes
The defeated player does not need 1,000,000 Bounty/Honor.
Suspicious kills do not count toward obtaining Saber V2.
The upgrade can be unlocked in any sea, provided all requirements are met.
Move names remain unchanged, but their effects are upgraded.
