The Arrival of the Wind King: How Saber Uses Critical Hits to Slice Through Enemies, and Her Unique Journey
In this vast universe of Star Trail: Railroad, a new ruler is finally arriving. Hailing from the “Destruction” pathway, this Wind-type character, named Saber, is a master of using the power of the wind to dominate the battlefield. Does this sound familiar? Yes, she is the legendary five-star Wind-type character, dedicated to showcasing the full potential of the Wind element. Her exclusive weapon is called “A Thankless Coronation”, which translates to “No Reward Coronation”—a name that sounds bleak but holds extraordinary power.
In the 3.4 update of Genshin Impact: Star Trail, this Wind King will make her debut. As a veteran player, I can already predict the refreshing experience she will bring. Frankly, Wind-type characters haven’t always been the most popular in teams, but Saber is no ordinary character—her skill system is incredibly unique, especially with the “Furnace Resonance” mechanic, which reminds me of those childhood games where you collect bottle caps to redeem toys.
Let’s start with her exclusive weapon. While the name “A Thankless Coronation” might sound depressing, its effects are anything but. Equipping this weapon significantly boosts Saber’s critical damage and attack power. And when her energy reaches a certain threshold, her output erupts explosively, like a boiling pot about to release a burst of high-pressure steam. It’s as if she’s telling her enemies, “You’re done for.”
Next, her Normal Attack is called “Wind King’s Domain”. This is no ordinary Normal Attack—each strike deals 100% of her attack power as Wind-type damage while also charging up for her enhanced attacks. This design reminds me of those passionate manga I read as a kid, where the protagonist trains relentlessly, waiting for the perfect moment to transform into a powerful hero. Honestly, this design makes me want to keep pressing the attack button non-stop.
Then there’s her Elemental Skill, “Wind King’s Hammer”. This is her main combat skill and the one she uses most frequently. Not only does it deal 150% of her attack power as Wind-type damage to single targets, but it also hits surrounding enemies for an additional 75% of her attack power. And here’s the kicker: when Saber has “Furnace Resonance”, the damage multiplier increases further, with each layer of resonance boosting the damage by 14%. This design is both exciting and frustrating, much like playing a coin game that requires precise timing.
Now, let’s talk about her Elemental Burst, “Oath of Victory”. This is her ultimate move, and it’s nothing short of stunning. It deals 280% of her attack power as Wind-type damage to all enemies, and it also randomly strikes a single target an additional 10 times for 110% of her attack power. Frankly, this Elemental Burst is electrifying, like pulling off a flawless combo in a game right before victory.
Finally, her talents and passive skills are worth mentioning. Her talent is called “Dragon’s Furnace Core”, which grants her 1 point of “Furnace Resonance” at the start of battle, laying the foundation for her subsequent skills. What’s even better is that whenever an ally uses their Elemental Burst, Saber’s damage output increases by 40%, and she gains 3 additional points of “Furnace Resonance”. This design makes me feel like having allies is all about giving Saber the spotlight.
In short, Saber is a character who redefines the Wind element. Her skill system is intricate yet fun, and her explosive damage output is sure to make her a standout in any team. With her arrival in the 3.4 update, I can already imagine the waves she’ll make in the world of Star Trail: Railroad.
