Honkai: Star Rail Leak Hints at Saber’s Element
A new update shared by trusted HoYoverse leaker Sakura Haven is giving a hint aboutSaber’s element following herHonkai: Star Railrelease. Addressing a previous rumor about Saber being a Wind Destruction character, Sakura Haven confirmed that at least one Wind character is expected to release during Versions 3.4 or 3.5. Though Sakura Haven does not specifySaber’s exact element or Path, the previous leak about Saber could tie in with her final build. Saber and theFate/Stay Nightcrossover are expected to launch duringHonkai: Star Rail’s Version 3.4.
Saber’s status as a Wind character inHonkai: Star Railwould mesh well with her in-universe lore within theFate/Stay Nightfranchise. Saber’s first “Noble Phantasm” is referred to as “Invisible Air,” using a barrier of wind to make her sword indistinguishable to her enemies. Saber can use her Invisible Air offensively to empower her slashes as well, potentially lending to a connection with her rumored gameplay withinHonkai: Star Rail.
