Assessment

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

    .
    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.
  • Ability m 33 1.png 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.

    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 Ability Phalanx.png Phalanx IIAll parties gain Status Dmg Cut 70.png70% DMG CutTaking 70% less DMG

    a staple subskill provided debuffs are available from other sources.

    are appreciated. Raid-wide skills also generate considerable contribution, allowing even new or weak players to farm Event Honors or Pendants efficiently.

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 Ability Miserable.png Miserable MistInflict Status AttackDown.png25% ATK DownATK is lowered

as any other class.

  • 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 Ability Aura.png GraceAll parties gain Status DefenseUp.png15% DEF UpDEF is boosted
