The characters in Honkai: Star Rail are divided across seven paths and combat types. Each path determines the role of a certain character and the combat types are used to shred an enemy’s Toughness bar. Silver Wolf is a Quantum character who belongs to the path of Nihility, which means she excels at debuffing enemies.
She was the first limited character in the Version 1.1 update, and she also got a Companion Mission with her release. Silver Wolf is immune to Power Creep because of her skill set, which makes her a great character to have.
Best Relics And Planar Ornaments For Silver Wolf
Choosing the proper Relics and Planar Ornaments is the most complicated step while building a character. When you have two or four pieces from the same set, you’ll get a special bonus that can enhance your character’s abilities massively. Although, you can’t get these items at the start of the game.
Relics unlock after progressing the main story a little, but you’ll only be able to farm them after unlocking the Cavern of Corrosion during the final part of the Jarilo-VI quest. Each Cavern has two Relic sets, and the set you get after each run is completely based on luck. You’ll have to spend 40 Trailblaze Power each time.
On the other hand, Planar Ornaments can be farmed from World Three onward of the Simulated Universe.
Once again, you’ll have to spend 40 Power or one Immersifier to get the rewards.
Here are the best sets that you can use on Silver Wolf:
|
Type |
Name |
Reason For Synergy With Silver Wolf |
|---|---|---|
|
Relics |
Thief Of Shooting Meteor |
This is one of the Relic sets that you can start getting from the early game. The four-piece increases your Break Effect by up to 32 percent, and you regenerate some Energy on triggering Weakness Break. This works great for Silver Wolf since her Technique allows you to shred the Weakness bar of all enemies, even if they don’t have a Quantum weakness. You’d want to trigger as many Weakness Breaks as possible if you’re using this. |
|
Genius Of Brilliant Stars |
This is a Quantum set that can only be farmed from its Cavern of Corrosion apart from the Sealed Sector quest. It gives you a 10 percent Quantum DMG Bonus and you can ignore 20 percent of an enemy’s DEF while attacking. Though the DEF ignore will be half if the enemy doesn’t have a Quantum Weakness. Since Silver Wolf can implant a Weakness into the enemy, this works perfectly. |
|
|
Planar Ornaments |
Talia: Kingdom Of Banditry |
This Ornament set can give you another 36 percent Break Effect if you have 145 SPD or higher, which can synergize well if you’re using the Thief Relic set. Although, this set can have a backdrop when it comes to Silver Wolf. While you need some SPD on her, it’s not necessary to have too much since her buffs last for multiple turns. |
|
Sprightly Vonwacq |
This is one of the best sets for Silver Wolf since it gives you Energy Regeneration Rate and advances your action forward at the start of the battle, which allows you to implant the required weakness from the beginning itself. Having Energy Regeneration Rate on Link Rope with this will allow you to have 100 percent uptime on the debuffs from your Ultimate. |
|
|
Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise |
Silver Wolf doesn’t have a 100 percent chance to apply any effect to the enemy, which makes Effect Hit Rate one of the best stats for her. This set gives you 10 percent of it and also increases your ATK based on your Hit Rate. |
|
|
Inert Salsotto |
Finally, if you have some Eidolons for Silver Wolf or if you’re using the Genius set, you can use her as a sub-DPS. This set allows you to do that as it increases your Crit Rate and gives you some DMG boost on the Ultimate. |
Once you decide on the main Relic and Planar Ornament sets that you want to use on her, the next step is to figure out the main and sub-stats on them. Each gear has one main stat and up to four sub-stats, and here are the best ones for Silver Wolf:
|
Gear Type |
Main Stat Priority |
|---|---|
|
Head |
HP (guaranteed) |
|
Hands |
ATK (guaranteed) |
|
Body |
Effect Hit Rate |
|
Feet |
SPD |
|
Planar Sphere |
Quantum DMG Bonus |
|
Link Rope |
Energy Regeneration Rate |
Silver Wolf can be quite easy to build since she doesn’t need as many sub-stats. Apart from Effect Hit Rate and SPD, you can look for some ATK Percent, Break Effect, and Crit wherever possible. Although, she’d be in a good place as far as she has around 135 SPD and a 60-90 percent Effect Hit Rate.
Best Light Cones For Silver Wolf
Here’s a list of all the Light Cones that you can use on Silver Wolf:
|
Incessant Rain |
Apart from giving you some free Effect Hit Rate and Crit Rate, this Light Cone further increases the DMG taken by the target you attack for one turn. Given that it’s her signature Light Cone, it’s the best in slot for the character. |
|---|---|
|
Before The Tutorial Mission Starts |
This is a limited-time Light Cone that can only be acquired from the Starhunt Game event. The Effect Hit Rate and Energy provided by the Light Cone make it almost as good as her signature five-star, if not better in some cases. |
|
In The Name Of The World |
This Light Cone can be great if you’re planning to use Silver Wolf as a sub-DPS. It gives you increased DMG to debuffed enemies and extra Effect Hit Rate and ATK on your Skill. |
|
Good Night And Sleep Well |
Another great pick for sub-DPS Silver Wolf users, this Light Cone increases your damage against debuffed enemies based on the number of debuffs, which goes along with one of her talents. |
|
Resolution Shines As Pearls Of Sweat |
The effect of this Light Cone is somewhat similar to Silver Wolf’s signature one. It afflicts the target enemy with Ensnared, which decreases their DEF for one turn. |
|
Void |
For beginner players, Void can be a decent three-star option as it increases your Effect Hit Rate during the start of the battle. |
Silver Wolf Traces Overview And Priority
Much like every other character, you’ll find a total of eight Traces on Silver Wolf. Three of them are used actively during a battle, while the others are considered passives that can be triggered under different conditions. Here’s what all her talents do:
|
Trace Name |
Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
System Warning |
Basic Attack |
Deals some Quantum DMG to a single enemy. |
|
Allow Changes? |
Skill |
While attacking an enemy, a new Weakness will be implanted into them, and it’ll belong to one of the combat types in your team. This stays for two turns, and the enemy’s DMG RES to that type is also reduced by 20 percent. You’ll also decrease the overall RES of the enemy and deal some Quantum DMG. |
|
User Banned |
Ultimate |
Deals Quantum DMG to one enemy and has a chance of decreasing their DEF massively for three turns. |
|
Awaiting System Response… |
Talent |
Whenever an attack hits an enemy, there’s a chance of implanting a bug in them, which can have one of the following effects: DEF reduction, ATK reduction, or SPD reduction. |
|
Force Quit Program |
Technique |
Deals Quantum DMG to all enemies and breaks their Toughness bar regardless of their Weakness type. |
|
Generate |
Bonus Ability |
Any bug applied lasts for an extra turn. Moreover, Weakness Breaks have a chance of implanting bugs as well. |
|
Inject |
Bonus Ability |
Weakness implanted by her Skill lasts for an extra turn. |
|
Side Note |
Bonus Ability |
If the enemy is affected by three or more debuffs when the Skill is used, it decreases the overall RES by another three percent. |
Much like Relics, it can be quite easy to build Silver Wolf’s Traces, which makes her a great character to have during the early game when you’re struggling for resources. The most important part of her Skill is the Weakness implant, which means that you have to upgrade her Skill first no matter what.
This can be followed up by her Ultimate to increase the DEF reduction and the Talent last. All the Bonus Abilities are also very important, so you can get them whenever you have the resources. She also gets some ATK, Effect Hit Rate, and Quantum DMG Bonus from some Trace nodes.
Are Silver Wolf’s Eidolons Worth It?
Considering that Silver Wolf is a future-proof character with quite a unique skill set, it’s more than worth going for her Eidolons if you can afford it. The first two Eidolons resolve her Energy problem and make it much easier to apply the new Weakness at the start of any battle.
On the other hand, Eidolon four and six directly buff her Ultimate and overall DMG respectively based on the debuffs you have on the enemy. If you bring this character to Eidolon Six, she can deal enough damage to be considered a main DPS. Although, your Relic build will become much harder if you want to achieve that.
While her Eidolons are good, you’ll be able to clear all the content without them if you have your characters built properly.
