Bypassed God Hand with normal blows. Has been referred to as the strongest Servant of the Fifth Holy Grail War, and even stated to be equal in strength to Berserker), Small Country level with Excalibur Morgan (As an A++ Ranked Noble Phantasm, it is stronger than Siegfried's A+ Ranked Noble Phantasm)

Possesses a D-Rank agility stat and thus is likely comparable to Mash Kyrielight who can fight The Dioscuri.

Intelligence: Saber is an extremely accomplished swordswoman suitable for her class, clashing with even the strongest heroes in swordplay with few laying claims to have superior skill. Becoming the king of a prosperous nation at the age of fourteen, she is a skilled politician and an able leader. She can effectively lead armies into battle and governing most of Britain by the end of her rule. Artoria is also knowledgeable of magic, having been Merlin's apprentice in her youth, and is familiar with most European Heroic Spirits. As Saber Alter, her swordsmanship and speed are slightly inferior compared to her usual self. She loses fine control in exchange for far greater destructive power. She is mostly following her orders without emotional disruption. Still, She can be enraged if her opponent isn't going all out against her.
Weaknesses: Unlike other Servants, Saber Alter isn't a proper Heroic Spirit, possessing a physical body that cannot go into spirit form. She also has to continually struggle against her temper, and her regeneration takes time, up to ten minutes, depending on the scale of the wounds.

Excalibur Morgan: Sword of Promised Victory: The blackened form that Excalibur takes on after Saber is corrupted by All the World's Evil. It is still the most powerful magic sword despite its corruption. When activated as a Noble Phantasm, the entire blade is covered in black flames, which are then released in a stream of energy to destroy everything in its path. It can also be utilized in close combat, known as Vortigern: Hammer of the Vile King, cutting the target to pieces while the blade is coated in a dark aura. In Heaven's Feel, Saber Alter can freely fire this with virtually no limit in contrast to her standard counterpart due to having access to more energy than ever, thanks to Sakura's connection to the Grail.
===Class Skills===
Magic Resistance: The ability to completely nullify and shrug off oncoming magical attacks. Unlike the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Saber Alter's B-Rank in this ability is enough to cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if she is targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for her to be affected.
Riding: The ability to ride mounts with proficiency. Saber Alter lost her ability to utilize this skill due to her corruption.
===Personal Skills===
Charisma: The ability to lead armies into battle. Saber's rank in this skill has fallen to E after her corruption. As a result, she can still preside, but her troops' morale will sharply drop under her command.
Instinct: The power to "feel" the most favorable developments for oneself during battle. Artoria's senses are dulled due to the constant suppression of rage caused by Angra Mainyu's corruption, which degraded her Instinct to B-rank. However, it remains, and due to Saber Alter's more pragmatic fighting style, she is more likely to take action.
Mana Burst: A skill that allows for an increase in performance by infusing one's weapons and body with magical energy, for both defensive and offensive purposes, effectively recreating the effects of a jet burst. As Saber Alter, she engulfs her attacks with the dark mana surging through her body, causing black arcs to follow the path of her sword as she strikes with greater force than she ever could originally. She can also release her mana's bursts as projectiles in an attack called Burst Air. She can also manipulate and shape the mana she releases into the shape of a dragon's head to grab, bite, and throw her target in an attack called Tyrant Clap or convert them into dark tendrils to strike opponents.
