D&D 5E Most common saving throws?

[LittleElvis]

How are the saving throws ranked in terms of most to least commonly rolled? I read in another thread that STR is the 4th most common. Thanks!

I should add that a saving throw being more common than another doesn't necessarily make it more important. It also depends on how critical it is to succeed or fail at certain things.

So we could also rank them in terms of overall importance over the course of the game.

Here's my breakdown:
Con, Dex, and Wis saves correlate pretty strongly to where Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves were in 3.x and 4e, making them the most common saves.

Strength saves seem to be the next most common, usually to resist forced movement. Intelligence saves are almost exclusively the domain of aberrations, with the Mind Flayer and Intellect Devourer using them to terrible effect. I don't recall any Charisma saves off hand.

Thanks. I've only played 5E three times (just joined a weekly Tiamat campaign group at 5th level), so I'm not sure what has been the most common at our table, other than my paladin making lots of Concentration/CON saves.

I found this thread on STR-INT-CHA saves:

My experience has been...
Monsters: Wis, Con, Int, Dex, Str
PCs: Con, Dex, Wis.

Most common saves when players use spells and or monsters use their abilities are constitution, dexterity and wisdom. Few spells use strength, fewer use intelligence, and hardly any uses charisma.

I have studied the classes available to pcs, and they seem to have one "primary" (con, dex, wis) and one "secondary" (str, int, cha) save they are proficient with.

Someone posted an analysis of the saving throws in the Monster Manual by type on the WoTC forums.

Results: I found 253 saving throws in the new MM. Of those, 86 are Con saves (34.0%), 57 are Dex saves (22.5%), 52 are Wis saves (20.6%), 52 are Str saves (20.6%), 4 are Cha saves (1.6%), and only 2 are Int saves (0.8%).
