His high defensive growths will also make him one of the more durable members of Celica's team. As Gaiden's promotion system lets your units jump straight into next class' base stats, this will not trouble him much as his promotions to Myrmidon and Dread Fighter will compensate for his low speed and skill growths with their high speed and skill bases.

At Duma's temple, he leads Celica's army in an attempt to rescue her.Īfter the war, Jesse asked for his co-operation after recognizing his abilities. When Celica announces her intention to invade Rigel to retrieve Mila, Saber assures her that he has her back. After Celica accepts her heritage, Saber swears fealty to her and becomes just as loyal as Mae and Boey. Arriving at Zofia Castle, he points out that she does not seem as impressed as Mae and Boey. Ever since his employment, Saber more or less acts as Celica's advisor, albeit an unconventional one.
