We aim to balance creep-clearing speeds across all Junglers. Currently, Saber's creep-clearing speed is a bit too slow.
[Skill 1]
Removed Effect: Orbiting Swords only deal 50% damage to Creeps.
Currently, the distance that Skill 2 moves is a bit too far, which makes it difficult and awkward to follow up with an enhanced Basic Attack. So we want to improve that and make it more fluent.
We're going to reduce the distance travelled with Skill 2 while balancing this nerf with other changes

Passive - Enemy's Bane
Saber's damage reduces Physical Defense of enemies.
Skill 1 - Orbiting Swords
Saber shoots out 5 flying swords, with each sword dealing Physical Damage. After circling around Saber for a period of time, the swords will fly back to Saber. When Saber deals damage with Basic Attack or skills during the circling period, he will shoot a sword to the target, dealing Physical Damage to the main target. Damage to other targets on the path decays. The Cooldown of [Charge] is reduced.
Skill 2 - Charge
Saber charges towards a designated direction, dealing Physical Damage to enemies along the way. Saber gains an enhanced Basic Attack after the charge, dealing Physical Damage and slowing the target.
Ultimate - Triple Sweep
Saber dashes toward an enemy hero and knocks the target airborne. During this period, Saber launches 3 consecutive blows in quick succession. The first two blows deal Physical Damage, whereas the third blow deals extra Physical Damage.
Optimized the animation effect in battlefields.
