Description

Nano Saber is an electric melee weapon from Industrial Craft 2 that runs on stored energy instead of durability. A right-click switches the blade on and off, and the Nano Saber loses energy only while the blade is on. An active Nano Saber blade deals 8 hearts of damage per strike, and a critical hit raises the strike to 12.5 hearts. An MFE or an MFSU energy storage unit refills the Nano Saber.

One Nano Saber is assembled on a crafting table from two Glowstone Dust, two Advanced Alloy, two Carbon Plate and one Energy Crystal. The shaped recipe fills two columns of the grid: Glowstone Dust above Glowstone Dust on the left, Advanced Alloy above Advanced Alloy in the middle, and a bottom row of Carbon Plate, Energy Crystal, Carbon Plate. Combat comes with one limit: the Nano Saber cannot block incoming hits. Players who keep the Nano Saber charged and switched on get a blade that slices Creepers without spending durability — electricity replaces wear.

How to Craft and Use the Nano Saber in Industrial Craft 2

  1. 1

    Craft the Nano Saber

    Open a crafting table and lay out the shaped recipe: Glowstone Dust above Glowstone Dust in the left column, Advanced Alloy above Advanced Alloy in the middle column, and a bottom row of Carbon Plate, Energy Crystal, Carbon Plate. The grid returns one Nano Saber.

  2. 2

    Charge the blade

    Place the Nano Saber into an MFE or an MFSU energy storage unit and wait until the charge is full.

  3. 3

    Switch the blade on

    Hold the Nano Saber and right-click. The active blade deals 8 hearts of damage, or 12.5 hearts on a critical hit.

  4. 4

    Save charge between fights

    Right-click again to switch the Nano Saber off. The Nano Saber loses energy only while switched on, so an off blade keeps every EU for the next Creeper.

No blocking with the Nano Saber

The Nano Saber cannot block incoming attacks. Cover the defense gap with raw damage: 8 hearts per switched-on strike and 12.5 hearts on a critical hit end most fights first.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Nano Saber have durability?

The Nano Saber deals its massive damage only while the blade is switched on. Right-click with the Nano Saber in hand to activate the blade before a fight.

Does the Nano Saber lose charge while switched off?

No. The Nano Saber loses energy only while the blade is on, so a switched-off Nano Saber preserves the charge between fights.

No. The Nano Saber cannot block incoming attacks and works purely as an offensive weapon.

What does crafting a Nano Saber cost?

One Nano Saber takes 2 Glowstone Dust, 2 Advanced Alloy, 2 Carbon Plate and 1 Energy Crystal assembled on a crafting table.
