Assessment

Holy Saber provides unmatched defensive utility, opening many solo options and allowing even the least-developed players to contribute meaningfully in multiplayer content.

•  Phalanx IIAll parties gain 70% DMG CutTaking 70% less DMG
  Duration: 1 turn Damage Cut reducing damage taken for all elements.
  Warning! Does not work for Plain Damage!. is the main draw of the class. On its own it can trivialize many otherwise lethal attacks, but it can also be stacked with several other sources of damage cut (such as the Carbuncles or Athena) to defend against damage completely. The attack boost provided by Holy Saber's passive is also a bonus.
•  Overdrive Surge III500% elemental damage to a foe in Overdrive. (200% otherwise). is less influential, especially in multiplayer. However, since Holy Saber is often brought to battles where foe charge attacks are a major threat, a tool to break foes out of overdrive is not entirely unwelcome.
•  SubstituteGain SubstituteReceives foe attack in place of an ally
  (Excludes all-foe all-ally attacks)
  Duration: 1 turn . protects other party members and provides 50% damage cut to the MC, making it excellent for intercepting foe attacks in emergencies or simply for reducing damage taken over a long fight. Because the damage cut is provided through a passive, it can stack with  Phalanx IIAll parties gain 70% DMG CutTaking 70% less DMG

• Holy Saber is always sought after in multiplayer, where both  PhalanxAll parties gain 50% DMG CutTaking 50% less DMG

Overall, Holy Saber is probably the most powerful Row III class in the game. The only reason it is not the top priority for new players is that the more consistent mitigation provided by Dark Fencer is often more important than negating a limited number of devastating attacks. That being said, Holy Saber makes an excellent second unlock because one of its prerequisites is taken care of when unlocking Dark Fencer, and because it makes as good of a use of  Miserable MistInflict 25% ATK DownATK is lowered

• Neither Extended Mastery Skill is worth buying, as damage reflection is rarely useful and Holy Saber is already incredibly resilient, making defensive utility that benefits the party such as  GraceAll parties gain 15% DEF UpDEF is boosted
