Saber is one of the most used assassins in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
His easy-to-learn skills and explosive damage can instantly kill any squishy heroes in his path. Having the Wandering Sword on your team can be extremely advantageous.

The addition of War Axe made him even stronger, as the offensive item synergizes well with his kit.
But what if he ends up getting picked by the opposing team, and you’ll need to find a way to deal with him? Here are three heroes that can withstand Saber, and shut him down effectively.
Three heroes who can stand up against Saber in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
Argus
First on our list is the unkillable juggernaut, Argus.
The Wandering Sword is best at eliminating enemies with his ultimate, Triple Sweep, something that Argus can mitigate with his own ultimate, Eternal Evil.
As Argus, you are immune to death for several seconds when you pop the ultimate, giving you the opportunity to retaliate.
Since Saber is vulnerable when Triple Sweep is on cooldown, you can finish him off easily with his Demonic Sword and Meteoric Grip combo.
Gatotkaca
Gatotkaca is a hero we don’t see in the EXP lane often, but he can certainly pack a punch when picked against Saber.
Unlike Argus, Gatotkaca is vulnerable to his Triple Sweep, but has potential to counter initiate if he manages to survive.

In that situation, Gatotkaca’s passive, Steel Bones, will be activated. This boosts his basic attack with extra magic damage and lifesteal, which will deal massive damage to his opponent.
Benedetta
Benedetta is another good counter against the Wandering Sword for one sole reason — she can cancel his ultimate, and stun him at the same time with a well-timed Eye For an Eye.

Additionally, she also outclasses him in unleashing damage with the right items.
However, do take note that it requires practice to perfectly time he Eye For an Eye to counter his Triple Sweep ultimate.
