How to Beat Saber — Strategy
Saber is a assassin. The same strategic principles that beat assassins in general apply to Saber specifically:
- Build defensive items early — Athena's Shield, Radiant Armor or Antique Cuirass before your second damage item.
- Ward jungle entrances and river crossings to deny the gank setup assassins rely on.
- Group with your team — assassins thrive when carries are alone.
- Save your hard-CC for their dive — burst windows are short, lock them down before they get out.
