Main Stats Sub Stats

Sphere: Quantum DMG

Effect Hit % ★★★
SPD ★★★
ATK% ★★
CRIT Rate ★★

With the release of Version 3.4, Silver Wolf's Effect Hit Rate requirements are lowered due to her kit not needing it as much compared to before.

Using two 2pc. SPD Relics and getting some SPD substats should be enough to get a lot of SPD. Lushaka, the Sunken Seas will be Silver Wolf's best Ornament for general use since DPS units shjould be positioned 1st when she is on the team.

How Much Effect Hit Rate Does Silver Wolf Need?

Stat Recommended Value
Effect Hit Rate 67% or above

The Effect Hit Rate requirement of Silver Wolf's Skill to guarantee her debuffs are at 67% Effect Hit Rate when her Traces are maxed out.

Recommended Stat Values

Stat Recommended Value
Speed 160+
170 with Lies Dance on the Breeze

The ideal Silver Wolf Build has a lot of SPD which helps her debuff the enemy before the DPS attacks. Any SPD Breakpoint from 160 SPD and beyond should help SIlver Wolf outspeed most enemies.

As Silver Wolf's other stats, CRIT Rate and ATK stats can increase her personal damage, but it's optional since she is meant to be a Support first.

All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relics Rating & Merits

A combination of 2pc. SPD Relics is Silver Wolf's best Relic set since it helps her outspeed most enemies and implant a Weakness before your DPS attacks.
Eagle of Twilight Line Eagle of Twilight Line x4 ★★★★☆ - 2nd Best
Eagle of Twilight Line can also be an option. With it, Silver Wolf can advance herself in the turn order after using her Ultimate for earlier turns.
Ornaments Merits

Lushaka, the Sunken Seas is Silver Wolf's best Ornament for general use since it provides her some Energy Regen and buffs the ATK of the ally positioned first.
Penacony, Land of the Dreams Penacony, Land of the Dreams ★★★★☆ - 2nd Best
The Penacony set is great for Silver Wolf when she's in a Mono-Quantum team because of the DMG boost it provides for her and the entire party. The additional Energy Regen is also good since Silver Wolf can get her Ultimate back up faster, especially when she's at E1 because she'll get her Ult back up within shorter rotations.
Sprightly Vonwacq Sprightly Vonwacq ★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best
Another set that grants provides Silver Wolf some Energy Regen. This increases her chances of being the first unit to move and making it easier to apply Weaknesses on an enemy before your DPS.

Silver Wolf's Best Light Cones

All Recommended Light Cones

Star Rail - Lies Dance on the Breeze Light Cone Lies Dance on the Breeze ★★★★★ - Best
With the release of Version 3.4, Lies Dance on the Breeze is Silver Wolf's best Light Cone since it increases her SPD and can help debuff enemy DEF. This is best used when Silver Wolf has at least 170 SPD.

Silver Wolf Kit, Abilities, and Skills

Debuff and Weakness Specialist

Star Rail - Silver Wolf

Silver Wolf is the first character that can apply Elemental Weakness to a target enemy. She can also apply debuffs to enemies via her passives, which apply every time she deals damage.

With this, she is mainly a support unit that needs a DPS to capitalize the debuffs she applies to enemies.

Any Attack Has a Chance to Debuff Enemies

With Silver Wolf's Talent, all of her attacks have a chance to debuff enemies, making her work well as both a debuffer and SP generator. You also need to give her Light Cones and Relics that will increase her Effect Hit Rate to increase the chances of her Talent to apply!

Use Skill to Add Elemental Weakness

Silver Wolf's Skill allows her to add an additional Elemental Weakness to a targeted enemy. The Elemental Weakness she applies on the enemy will match an ally's element, with the first character in the lineup being prioritized.

With this in mind, she becomes a very flexible unit that can force Elemental Weaknesses on enemies that match your strongest DPS.

Silver Wolf's Traces (Skills and Kit)

Active Abilities

Trace Scaling and Explanation
Basic ATK System Warning: Deals Quantum DMG equal to 50% of Silver Wolf's ATK to one designated enemy.
Skill Allow Changes?: There is a 80% base chance to add 1 Weakness of an on-field ally target's Type to one designated enemy target (prioritizes implanting the Weakness corresponding to the first ally target in the lineup), also reducing the enemy target's RES to that Weakness Type by 20% for 3 turn(s). If the enemy target already has that Type Weakness, the RES reduction effect to that Type will not be triggered. Each enemy target can only have 1 Weakness implanted by Silver Wolf. When Silver Wolf implants another Weakness to the target, only the most recent implanted Weakness will be kept. In addition, there is a 100% base chance to further reduce the target's All-Type RES by 10.5% for 2 turn(s). Deals Quantum DMG equal to 98% of Silver Wolf's ATK to this target.
Talent Awaiting System Response: Silver Wolf can create three types of "Bugs": Reduce ATK by 5%, reduce DEF by 6%, and reduce SPD by 3%. After every attack launched by Silver Wolf, she has a 60% base chance to implant 1 random "Bug" that lasts for 3 turn(s) in the attacked enemy target. When the enemy target is defeated, the Weakness Silver Wolf implanted on it will be transferred to another surviving enemy on the field that hasn't been implanted with Weakness, prioritizing Elite targets and greater.
Ultimate User Banned: There's a 80% base chance to decrease all enemies' DEF by 36% for 3 turn(s). At the same time, deals Quantum DMG equal to 228% of Silver Wolf's ATK to all enemies.
