Saber Expert is a Lv. 200 boss.

Appearance

He wears a white shirt and a black scarf around his neck with red hair with brown and black pants.

Drops

• Around 9,000
• TBA EXP
• Saber
• 5,000 bounty/honor

Behavior

Because of the confined room, fast movement and regeneration, this boss can be difficult to defeat for players around Lv. 200, so they should try to find better players at Jungle as some people grind Saber Expert for bounty.

Abilities

This boss uses an old skill of Saber V1.

Move	Description	How to avoid
Air Slash	Saber Expert swings his sword to release a red air slash towards the player.	It is recommended to dash around when the Saber Expert is releasing the slash to dodge it.

Notes

• The player cannot deal damage to the Saber Expert if they are below Lv. 200 or haven't completed the Saber Expert Puzzle.
• The Saber Expert can't walk out of the secret room. (Unless attacking a player.) There is a bug where the player can knock him out of the room.
• The Saber Expert will fully regenerate his health rapidly in a short period of time if the player doesn’t keep attacking him.
• Defeating him is required for obtaining Instinct.
• In order to obtain the Saber, the player needs to do at least 10% of the damage.
• To obtain the drops from this boss, the player must do at least 10% damage.

Tips & Tricks

• One method to defeat the Saber Expert is to try to perform the "Hit and Run". It consists of the player dodging into the Saber Expert, landing a hit and dodging away before it reacts and hits them. If done correctly and efficiently, the player should be able to consistently land hits on the Saber Expert without it hitting them. Light is recommended for this method due to this boss being in the First Sea and Light being the most efficient fruit in said location. (Note: the player should make sure not to run out of energy, otherwise they won't be able to dodge. The player will get hit every once in a while, due to the Saber Expert's abilities.) The player is also recommended to use a Blox Fruit or a weapon that works in a small location, due to the Saber Expert’s spawn being in a small place.
• Another useful strategy is to stay out of the door and repetitively attack him from outside with long/mid-ranged moves as he can’t get out. The player can also keep their distance between the door and the Saber Expert by using Light and Ice’s M1/sword.

Trivia

• The Saber Expert can get stuck on the square bump in between the stairs, which can also make him considerably easier to beat.
  • Both of these methods still allow him to hit the player using his ranged move, so be careful.
• His secret room originally could only be accessed by players of Lv. 700 or higher but then was later changed.
• He can be glitched out of his room by using certain moves, such as Dough's X move.
• Despite using Saber, this boss does not use any of the moves of the V1 or V2 version of the sword. He releases a red slash attack, which could have been part of Saber V1's moveset during early development of the game.
• He can walk out of his secret room to continue to attack a player, but he can only travel a small distance before teleporting back and being reset to 100% health, like how other NPCs cannot stay too far from their spawn.
• Saber Expert, The Saw, Longma, Don Swan and Mob Leader are the only bosses that don't have a defeat Quest.
• High level players often glitch him out of the room and root him close to the Blox Fruit Gacha so it is harder for low level players to buy a fruit.
