Best Relics for Saber in Honkai Star Rail

Relics

The best Saber build in Honkai Star Rail is incomplete without selecting the proper Relics for her.

Best Relic (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming, HoYoverse)

• 4-piece Wavestrider Captain
• 4-piece Scholar Lost in Erudition

Saber's damage comes from her attack and how quickly she can take actions in the turn order. You can use either the Scholar Lost in Erudition set or the Wavestrider Captain, based on which set has better stats for you, as both will give you nearly about same performance.

Wavestrider Captain gives you a Crit Damage boost as well as a massive ATK buff of 48%. Whereas the Scholar Lost in Erudition set gives you a Crit Rate bonus and buffs your Ultimate and Skill damage. Both are good for Saber, and you can use whichever gives you better Attack and Crit stats.

Planar Ornaments

• Firmament Frontline: Glamoth
• Inert Salsotto

For Planar Ornaments, you should go for the Firmament Frontline: Glamoth as your main set. It gives you a bonus on your damage based on your speed and also provides you with a 12% Attack buff.

The second-best choice for her is the old Inert Salsotto Ornament set that gives you a Crit Rate bonus. If your Rate is more than 50%, it also buffs Ultimate, which deals the majority of damage from Saber's kit.
