As a permanent member of the {{Party 5}}, Saber is a very powerful ally to use. He can not use magic, but has incredible attack and defense as well as some very powerful techniques. Saber is also one of the fastest characters in the game and often can strike before anyone else.
As a permanent member of the {{Party 5}}, Saber is a very powerful ally to use. He can not use magic, but has incredible {{Attack}} and {{Defense}} as well as some very powerful techniques. Saber is also one of the fastest characters in the game and often can strike before anyone else.


As the [[Nintendo DS]] port of game allows four members, Saber becomes a matter of choice on usage depending on the player's styles.  The {{Hero 5}} and [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|his son]] are the strongest characters in the game and [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|the daughter]] can learn the best spells in the game so many players are suggested to use them. Players who like focusing on attacking opt to use Saber or {{Bianca}}/[[Debora Briscoletti]] as their fourth character while players who prefer to use magic will use [[Nera Briscoletti]]. Note that Saber's Level will cap at 20 while as a great sabrecub in Generation 1.
