What to do with Saber

His b slot. It's amazing. People don't appreciate it enough.

I pulled two a while back, both pitybreakers, and as you say they sat around for ages. One gave his weapon to New Year Camilla and the other is waiting for the next person to want one. If you lack a reasonably quick, tanky sword you could train him up and see how you like him while waiting for someone you'd rather give his weapon to.

Saber's a pretty decent pull; I wouldn't be mad (unlike, say, a 5* Merric). He's not as insane as Gray (who I've seen screenshots and footage of him hitting for 150+ damage in the right circumstances). Problem is for Saber, he's a bulky red infantry unit without a legendary weapon or god-tier stats; and why would anybody use that when they could use Ike? Or Chrom? Or just about any other high-grade red unit; really, there's too much competition.

If I pulled one; I'd celebrate and probably end up merging him, not that I use mine too often. You never know when characters will rotate through on Arena; after all.

Alternatively, I'd fodder him for his weapon, a Slaying weapon that doesn't need 20k feathers and a bunch of refining stones is always a good acquisition. Shield Pulse is really specialized, kinda hard to work with.

I need a Saber still. He’s the only hero in my catalogue that i’m missing. XD
