Silver Wolf’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail explained

Silver Wolf is a five-star Quantum element character in the Path of The Nihility in Honkai Star Rail, which means she specializes in debuffing and weakening opponents. She’s featured in the second phase of the version 1.5 update with a re-run of her own banner.

Silver Wolf has the following abilities in Honkai Star Rail:

• System Warning (Basic attack) – Deals Quantum DMG to a target enemy and has a 65% base chance of inflicting a random Bug for the next 3 turns.
• Allow Changes? (Skill) – Deals Quantum DMG to a target enemy. Additionally, it has a 75% chance to impose the Weakness of a random ally’s Type on the target. It can also lower the target’s resistance to that Weakness by 20%.
• User Banned (Ultimate) – Deals 180% of Silver Wolfs ATK as Quantum DMG to a target enemy and causes Entanglement. It can also deal additional Quantum DMG to the enemy if it’s affected by debuffs. When Entangled, the enemy’s action is delayed and at the start of the next turn, the enemy receives Quantum DoT.
• Awaiting System Response… (Talent) – Causes Entanglement and places bug on enemy. This bug can reduce the enemy’s ATK, DEF, or SPD.
• Force Quit Program (Technique) – Immediately attacks the enemy. After entering battle, ignores Weakness Types and depletes the Toughness of all enemies. If a target’s Weakness is Broken, it becomes Entangled.

Silver Wolf’s debuffs can be extremely useful in battle, so you should always focus on enhancing her Effect Hit%, Break Effect, and Energy Regeneration for best results. Her Ultimate can also be a powerful asset, so you might want to keep an eye on her ATK% as well, but we recommend focusing on her SPD to have more debuffs per turn.

Best Relics for Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail

Musketeer of Wild Wheat

• Two-piece bonus: ATK increases by 10%.
• Four-piece bonus: The wearer’s SPD increases by 6% and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.

While the two-piece bonus won’t do much for Silver Wolf, having this full Relic set can give the hacker some room to apply powerful debuffs on enemies. Since it’s the easiest Relic set to get, you should try it with Silver Wolf.

Thief of Shooting Meteor

• Two-piece bonus: Increases Break Effect by 20%.
• Four-piece bonus: Increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 20%. The wearer generates 3 Energy after applying the Break Effect to an enemy.

Alternatively, Thief of Shooting Meteor is one of the best Relic sets for support characters. As you can see, it will improve Silver Wolf’s Break Effect greatly while also enhancing her Energy Regen, making her a pain for any enemy that comes your way.

Best Planar Ornament for Silver Wolf

Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise is the safest bet for Silver Wolf’s Planar Ornament in Honkai Star Rail. It not only increases her Effect Hit Rate by 10% but also her ATK up to 25%. It’s a fairly easy Relic set to get, so it should be your first option.

Talia: Kingdom of Banditry is best suited for Silver Wolf since it increases her Break Effect by 20%. What’s more, when her SPD reaches 145 or higher, Silver Wolf’s Break Effect increases again by an extra 28%. This can easily turn the tide mid-battle.

As a third and more general alternative, Fleet of the Ageless is a Planar Ornament that works well for support characters. It increases Silver Wolf’s Max HP and can also increase the whole party’s ATK when her SPD reaches 120 or higher.

Best Light Cone for Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail

Incessant Rain

This is Silver Wolf’s signature Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail, so it should be your best option to build her. This five-star Light Cone works similarly to Silver Wolf’s bugs: each time a new turn starts, she implants a random enemy with Aether Code that self-destructs when it’s inflicted with Break. This deals additional DMG to the enemy and can deal a lot more if it has debuffs.

Before the Tutorial Mission Starts

This four-star Light Cone also features Silver Wolf. Before the Tutorial Mission Starts increases Silver Wolf’s Effect Hit Rate by 20%. Additionally, when she attacks enemies that have reduced DEF, regenerates 4 Energy. This is great to enhance some of Silver Wolf’s most important stats and it’s a great starting point for the character.

In the Name of the World

Welt‘s signature Light Cone is ideal for characters in the path of The Nihility. It increases Silver Wolf’s DMG dealt to debuffed enemies and, when she uses her Skill, the Effect Hit Rate for this attack increases by 18%, and ATK increases by 24%. Alternatively, the Good Night and Sleep Well four-star Light Cone works similarly.

Best Honkai Star Rail teams for Silver Wolf

With Silver Wolf, you might need to add another support character that enhances your Honkai Star Rail team. It’s also recommended to have a healer and round up with a powerful DPS.

Bailu is one of the best healers thanks to her revive ability, so you should add her to your team. Either Bronya or Tingyun can complement Silver Wolf as support characters by increasing the party’s SPD and ATK. You can round up your formation with Seele to deal massive amounts of damage from the start, or Dan Heng if you’re aiming for a free-to-play composition.
