Saber's not bad, really. She's quite serviceable as a Servant, it's just that she doesn't particularly excel at anything where as most 5-star Servants can at least carve a niche for themselves.

The main issue is that Saber's kit doesn't synergize very well with her on top of being quite vanilla. She has the stats of a tank, but she has the skillset of a dedicated damage dealer, lacking any sort of dodge, taunt, heal, or revive. She can generate some stars, but lacks the star weight or skills to really make use of them. Her NP only has the one secondary effect that encourages NP spam, but her NP gain is quite average. Moreover, none of her skills stand out and have better versions out there in some way or another.

If you already have Altera, you don't really need to invest in Artoria unless you really like her as they pretty much do the same thing.
