Surprisingly, every HARD normal type enemy in the game has some way to beat it depending on what class you are. Delsabers can be considered a Ranger Happy Meal if you know how to kill on the RIGHT way. Like many monsters, killing the right way is the safest way 
For any class, using a gun is a great way to avoid that first sneak attack. If you shoot when they are about to hit you with their leaping attack, they will do their "Hand shield" thing, causing them to land and give you more time to move out or prepare for another strike. Also remember they only can do this hand thingie about 1-3 times. After that they must claw someone to get the energy back. Now after they begin to try and claw you again, a good kind of weapon to use (here we go again) are Mechguns. If you have the accuracy to hit with most/all shots (like Rangers, as you can see they are my favorite class ) you'll have no problem tearing through a Delsaber. If there's more than one, walk around until they have to "wait in line" then it will be more like a congo line rather than a slaughter!
HUs have a hard time with Delsabers, but timing is the key here too. Swinging your weapon before they land also makes them "Hand shield", but puts you right in their face. Be sure to time your attacks so you hit them JUST as they get out of the "Hand shield" and you'll do fine.
FOs, unable to use many weapons that the other classes can, have a tough time with Delsabers. Rabarta and Jellen are two of your best friends in a brawl with many Delsabers, Barta if there's only one (or whichever Barta type spell does most x.x ). Same concept, cast before they land, and remember to hit just as they break out of their "Hand shield"
Honestly tho....I don't think Delsabers are the worst of your worries. Indi Belras and Dark Bringers...*shivers* now THAT'S something to worry about in Ultimate.
You all probably know all about Delsabers, I just felt like telling you what all I know about it just as I did versus the Gilchichs and Baranz in Mines. >.> If it did help anyone I'm glad n_n Now I feel like a teacher or a lecturer or something o.O *is currently on a school computer mind you x.x*
