Silver Wolf is a 5-Star Quantum character in Honkai Star Rail that follows the Nihility path with a build that uses a wide range of debuffs to help her team overwhelm the enemies.
Her skill kit is one of the more unique ones in the game because her abilities loosely resemble video game attacks. She is a hacker that uses Bugs to attack enemies and lower their defenses.
Due to her playstyle, Silver Wolf is one of the more interesting characters to add to your team, and her versatility allows you to implement her into any team quite easily.
If you’re thinking of rolling for her during the character event warp, here is the build you should work toward and the best team to surround Silver Wolf with in Honkai Star Rail.
Silver Wolf Build Guide
Best Silver Wolf Build Honkai Star Rail
When building Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail, you want to improve her Effect Hit% and SPD as much as possible to increase the probability of inflicting the enemies with weakness.
But if you want her to do more damage, focus on ATK% and CRIT DMG/CRIT Rate. Thankfully, Silver Wolf is a versatile character with plenty of flexibility.
Players can obtain her during the current event warp, Contract Zero. Once she leaves, players will need to wait until the next time her banner shows up to obtain her, which could be a while.
Here is a quick overview of what you’ll need. Further below, we break down these items and how they level up your Silver Wolf build.
Build Type | Light Cone | Team Comp | Relic Build | Relic Stat Priority |
---|---|---|---|---|
Support | Incessant Rain (5-Star) | Jing Yuan (Main DPS), Silver Wolf (Support), Tingyun (Support), Bailu (Healer) | 4 Piece Set: Genius of Brilliant Stars or Musketeer of Wild Wheat 2 Piece Set: Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise | Body: Effect Hit% Feet: SPD Planar Sphere: Quantum DMG% Link Rope: Energy Regen% or ATK% |
Best Silver Wolf Light Cone – Incessant Rain
The best Light Cone for Silver Wolf is the 5-Star Incessant Rain that is releasing alongside her. This works well with her abilities, increasing her effect hit rate by 24% and allowing her to apply debuffs more consistently.
It also boosts Silver Wolf’s Crit Rate by 12% when she attacks an enemy that has three or more debuffs. After the wearer uses a Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, it also implants an Aether Code on the enemy.
This Aether Code will make it so that the enemy receives 12% increased damage for one turn. Incessant Rain works really well with Silver Wolf’s abilities, but it’s only obtainable through Warp.
Thankfully, there is an alternative for players that aren’t looking to use their Stellar Jades with the 4-Star Light Cone “Before The Tutorial Mission Starts.”
Image | Light Cone | Path | Rarity | Effects |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Incessant Rain | The Nihility | ★★★★★ | Increases the wearer’s Effect Hit Rate by 24%/28%/32%/36%/40%. When the wearer deals DMG to an enemy that currently has 3 or more debuffs, increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 12%/14%/16%/18%/20%. After the wearer uses their Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, there is a 100% base chance to implant Aether Code on a random target that does not yet have it and was hit by the ability. Targets with Aether Code receive 12%/14%/16%/18%/20% increased DMG for 1 turn. |
![]() | Before The Tutorial Mission Starts | The Nihility | ★★★★ | Increases the wearer’s Effect Hit Rate by 20%/25%/30%/35%/40%. When the wearer attacks DEF-reduced enemies, regenerates 4/5/6/7/8 Energy. |
Best Silver Wolf Relic Set
Silver Wolf is a versatile character that can be built in a number of ways, but the best relic sets seem to alternate between Genius of Brilliant Stars and Thief of Shooting Meteor.
The Genius of Brilliant Stars will boost Silver Wolf’s Quantum DMG by 10% and allow her to ignore 10% of an enemy’s defense. This makes her hit for more damage overall.
You can then combine that with the Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise Planar and Link Rope Set to increase her Effect Hit Rate by 10% and increase Silver Wolf’s ATK by the amount that is equal to 25% of her current EHR.
But if you want to focus more on her ability to apply debuffs, then increasing her SPD using the Musketeer of Wild Wheat alongside the Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise is the best way to go.
Image | Relic | Set Items Needed | 2 Set Bonus | 4 Set Bonus | Where to Obtain |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Genius of Brilliant Stars | 4 Piece Set | Increases Quantum DMG by 10%. | When the wearer deals DMG to the target enemy, ignores 10% DEF. If the target enemy has Quantum Weakness, the wearer additionally ignores 10% DEF. | Cavern of Corrosion, Weekly Bosses, or Relic Synthesize. |
![]() | Musketeer of Wild Wheat | 4 | ATK increases by 12%. | The wearer's SPD increases by 6% and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%. | Cavern of Corrosion, Weekly Bosses, or Relic Synthesize. |
![]() | Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise | 2 | Increases the wearer's Effect Hit Rate by 10%. Meanwhile, the wearer's ATK increases by an amount that is equal to 25% of the current Effect Hit Rate, up to a maximum of 25%. | Not Used | Cavern of Corrosion, Weekly Bosses, or Relic Synthesize. |
Best Silver Wolf Teams
Silver Wolf is a versatile character due to her ability to inflict a weakness onto her enemies using her skill “Allow Changes?“.
Due to this skill, it’s actually more efficient to focus on just one element when building around her. This will ensure that whoever is your Main DPS is taking advantage of this buff in the best way possible.
Thankfully, there are multiple ways to go about this in Honkai Star Rail, so finding the best team for Silver Wolf within the characters you already have isn’t too difficult.
You basically want to surround Silver Wolf with a powerful Main DPS, a Healer/Tank, and an offensive Support/Sub DPS.
With this combination in mind, here are a few of the best builds we found to resonate with Silver Wolf and are helpful in the Simulated Universe and Forgotten Hall.
This build prioritizes on the Lightning element and ensures that Jing Yuan and his Lightning Lord can inflict break on the enemies with the help of Silver Wolf. | ||||
With Yanqing as the main damage dealer and Silver Wolf and Pela deliver constant debuffs this build can decimate the health of any enemy in seconds. | ||||
This build allows players to use Himeko's follow up attack to its best due to how easy it is to inflict break on enemies with Asta and Silver Wolf. | ||||
This build has great survivability and power due to Sushang and Clara. It's great for navigating some of the more difficult Forgotten Hall floors. |
