- This page is about the gene. For the mutant, see Saber (Mutant).
Saber is one of the Genes in Mutants: Genetic Gladiators.
Mutants that bear this gene are usually wielding some kind of weopon or associated with fighting techniques.
How to obtain
Upon the player's start with Mutants: Genetic Gladiators, the player is asked to choose two Mutants from three. Later in the initial tutorial, the remaining mutant is eventually obtained however; so the player should have the Warrior in any case shortly after walking through the tutorial.
Strengths
Saber mutants do have following attack/defense bonuses:
- +50% damage against and takes 50% less damage from Mythic opponents
- +25% damage against and takes 25% less damage from Necro opponents
Note: Above Bonuses are in effect if your mutant is primary Saber and/or uses a Saber attack.
Penalties
Saber mutants do have following attack/defense penalties:
- -50% damage against and takes 50% more damage from Zoomorph opponents
- -25% damage against and takes 25% more damage from Cyber opponents
Note: Above Penalties are in effect if your mutant is primary Saber and/or uses a Saber attack.
Compounds
Saber compounds are able to keep up to 4 primary or secondary Saber mutants.
- 2 (7x7 grid size), 5,000
- 3 (8x8 grid size), 15,000 (requires Fame Level ??)
- 4 (9x9 grid size), 25,000 (requires Fame Level ??)
Larger compounds are also able to store more accumulating , the largest up to 9,000.
Combination Strategies
There are two strategies you could follow as secondary mutant type:
- elimination of mutants with the largest bonuses against you. Saber mutants are weak against Zoomorph opponents, so you could use a Cyber as secondary mutant type. Beginning at level 5, you are able to get rid of Zoomorph mutants this way before they get rid of your mutant.
- maximizing utility. While you mutant will always be weak against Zoomorph and Cyber, you can use a Galactic secondary type to avoid damage output penalties (Galactic covers Cyber and Zoomorph). In these cases you will always deal at least "normal" damage beginning at mutant level 5.
