Saber, the Wandering Sword, is an assassin hero inMobile Legends: Bang Bangthat possesses one of the deadliest combos in the game.
With his explosive damage, he can take down squishy heroes in the blink of an eye.
While he is relatively easy to learn, mastering him still takes a decent amount of practice and strategy.
To help you learn how to play Saber effectively, here’s an in-depth ONE Esports guide covering skill tips, ideal battle spell and emblem, best build, and combos.
Saber’s skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Enemy’s Bane
Saber’s attacks reduce enemies’ physical defense for several seconds on hit.
First skill – Orbiting Swords
Saber releases five swords that orbit around him and deal physical damage to nearby enemies on hit. The swords will retract back to him after a while.
When the swords are present, he sends a sword toward his target on each attack, dealing extra physical damage to the target and half of the damage to other enemies it passes through (damage against minions is reduced).
Each attack also reduces the cooldown of Charge (second skill) by a second.
Second skill – Charge
Saber dashes in the target direction, dealing physical damage to enemies along the way while enhancing his next basic attack. The enhanced basic attack deals physical damage and slows the target for a second.
Ultimate – Triple Sweep
Saber charges at the target enemy hero, knocking them airborne and striking them three times over the duration.
The first two strikes deal the same amount of physical damage, while the third strike deals bigger damage.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Saber in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
If you’re playing as a jungler,Retributionis an excellent choice. This allows you to quickly clear creeps and secure theTurtleorLord, which can give you a significant advantage in the game.
On the other hand, if you’re playing as a laner orroamer, select Execute. This enables you to finish off your target if they manage to survive your combo.
Recommended emblem
Choose the Assassin emblem to maximize your potential of taking down a hero with your combo. This emblem strongly boosts your adaptive penetration, adaptive attack, and movement speed.
Take Rupture in the first tier to gain extra adaptive penetration, and Weapons Master in the second tier to obtain additional physical attack from equipment, emblem, and skills.
In the last tier, select Lethal Ignition, which enables you to inflict adaptive damage when you deal damage greater than seven percent of your target’s HP three times within five seconds.

After getting your Boots, purchase Hunter Strike orWar Axe, Blade of the Heptaseas, and Malefic Roar for physical penetration.
Buy Blade of Despair for massive physical attack and extra movement speed. You can complete your build with Endless Battle, Sea Halberd, or Rose Gold Meteor, depending on the situation.
If you need to improve your survivability especially in the late game, purchaseImmortalityor an appropriate defensive item.
The best build for Saber in Mobile Legends
Easy skill combos to learn
In the early game, whether you’re playing as a jungler or laner, use Orbiting Swords followed by Charge to strengthen your basic attacks.
To start Saber’s deadly combo when you reach level four, cast Orbiting Swords first, then close in on your target using Charge. Unleash Triple Sweep to eliminate the enemy.
If you have Execute as your battle spell, use it to secure the kill if your opponent survives the combo.
Remember to use theHero Lock Modeor Closest Target option in the Targeting Priority settings to ensure you hit the skills on your intended target.
Another strategy to consider is hiding in the bush and launching a surprise attack against your opponents.
