Saber Buyer’s Guide

Choosing your first saber is a bit like selecting your class in an RPG — the right one sets the tone for your entire journey. This guide helps you find the perfect match based on your style, purpose, and budget.

1. Choose Your Purpose

  • Combat & Dueling:
    Look for sabers with heavy-grade polycarbonate blades, reinforced hilts, and strong cores.

  • Cosplay & Display:
    Prioritise aesthetics, accurate designs, and lighter blades for easier posing.

  • Collecting:
    Higher-end models with premium finishes, soundboards, and screen-accurate details shine here.

2. Pick Your Tier

  • Genesis Series: Entry-level, lightweight, ideal for first-time users.

  • Guardian Series: Mid-range performance sabers with brighter LEDs and dynamic sounds.

  • Legend Series: Premium builds with next-gen soundboards, smooth swing, and custom effects.

3. Choose Your Blade Length & Style

  • 58cm: Best for kids or dual-wield setups.

  • 82cm: The all-rounder for most adults.

  • 92cm: For taller users or those wanting maximum presence.

4. Sound & Effects
Modern sabers come with:

  • Smooth swing

  • Flash on clash

  • Blaster deflects

  • Multi-colour changing

  • Motion-activated ignition

Pick a board that gives you the features you’ll actually use.

5. Budget Planning
Think of sabers like gaming gear — you can start simple and upgrade later.
All models from Hero Sabers are modular, so you can change blades, sound fonts, and accessories over time.
