22 Overview
33  
44 Sabers are one-handed Slash weapons that scale with Agility. They use the main-hand slot, leaving the off-hand free for a Pistol, torch, or second one-hander, which makes the class the default for hybrid boarding builds.
55  
66 Windrose currently exposes seven sabers: one Common starter, one Uncommon base, one Strength outlier, and four Rare/Epic named variants. ATK figures below are the maximum shown on the Item Level 15 card.

88 Damage Type
99  
1010 Every hit from this class lands as Slash damage. Windrose sorts weapon damage into three types, Slash, Pierce, and Crude, and enemy defenses respond to each one differently. The same Slash profile that tears through one foe can glance off another, so check what you are fighting before you lean an entire Agility build around a single damage type.

2020 Rare vs Epic Summary
2121  
2222 Every Rare/Epic weapon in this category shares the same scaling mechanics. Ascending a Rare variant at the Weaponsmith Workshop preserves the Rare effect and stacks the Epic bonus on top. The Sturdy prefix weapons in every class jump to Strength, Agility, or Precision (S) at Epic, which is the single largest scaling jump in the game.

3131 Typical Build
3232  
3333 Agility primary, Vitality secondary, Endurance for stamina pool. Canonical armor is the Flibustier's Attire 4-piece (+15% one-handed damage), canonical off-hand is the Reliable Pistol or Drake's Double-Barreled Pistol. The Arboris Saber is a Strength outlier that does not fit a standard Agility saber build.
3434  
3535 Off-Hand and Combat Role
3636  
3737 The saber's defining trait is the free off-hand. Holding a one-handed slash in the main hand leaves room for a Pistol, a torch, or a second one-hander, which makes sabers the default opener for hybrid boarding builds. The standard pairing is a saber plus the Reliable Pistol or Drake's Double-Barreled Pistol: chip a target with a shot, then close into melee.
3838  
3939 Canonical armor is the four-piece Flibustier's Attire, whose set bonus favors one-handed damage. Run Agility as the primary stat with Vitality and Endurance behind it. The Arboris Saber is the lone outlier here: it scales with Strength and a Plague Echoes special, so it suits a Strength loadout rather than the usual Agility saber.
