Silver Wolf's ideal build will focus on a mix of dealing damage and applying debuffs. A 96% total Effect Hit Rate will guarantee all of your abilities applying the debuff on enemies (if your Skill is level 10), but this can be greatly reduced to 47% if you have Silver Wolf at E2.

Silver Wolf's Best Teams

Support DPS DPS Healer
Star Rail - Silver WolfSilver Wolf Star Rail - QingqueQingque Star Rail - TrailblazerTrailblazer Star Rail - NatashaNatasha

This Silver Wolf team comp focuses on both improving Quantum and Physical damage, which is especially effective if the enemy isn't weak to either of the two elements.

You can also slot any other F2P DPS character into the party, just make sure to plan out your team to have Silver Wolf guarantee the Elemental Weakness of your Main DPS.

Silver Wolf Mono-Quantum Team

Support DPS Support Utility
Star Rail - Silver WolfSilver Wolf Star Rail - QingqueQingque Star Rail - SparkleSparkle Star Rail - Fu XuanFu Xuan

Silver Wolf's ideal team comp is a Quantum-focused team since it removes the RNG nature of her Skill (assuming the enemy isn't already weak to Quantum by default).

You can also use supports that have the same element as the Elemental Weakness of an enemy to guarantee the Quantum Elemental Weakness from her Skill.

Alternative Explanation
Star Rail - SeeleSeele DPS Replacement
Seele is very effective in taking down Elite enemies thanks to her high single-target DMG.
Star Rail - XueyiXueyi DPS Replacement
As long as Silver Wolf implants the Quantum weakness onto enemies, Xueyi should have no problem unleashing her follow-up attacks.
Star Rail - LynxLynx Utility Replacement
Lynx can remove the debuffs inflicted on the party and provide AoE healing with her Ultimate.

Silver Wolf Generalist Team

Support DPS Support Utility
Star Rail - Silver WolfSilver Wolf Star Rail - AcheronAcheron Star Rail - PelaPela Star Rail - Fu XuanFu Xuan

Silver Wolf is great for characters who benefit from attacking debuffed enemies. Silver Wolf can provide debuffs to stack up Acheron's Slashed Dream.

Other Nihility units like Pela can help increase the Slashed Dream stacks, especially with the Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat Light Cone.

Alternative Explanation
Star Rail - Dr. RatioDr. Ratio DPS Replacement
Dr. Ratio can benefit from Silver Wolf's multitude of debuffs. The more debuffs an enemy has, the more chances for Dr. Ratio to unleash his Follow-up attack.
Star Rail - WeltWelt Support Replacement
Welt can Slow enemies down with his Skill and delay the enemy's turns with his Ultimate. Welt can also equip the Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat to have more chances of applying debuffs on an enemy.
Star Rail - GuinaifenGuinaifen Support Replacement
Guinafen can provide Burn DoT and Firekiss debuffs.
Star Rail - LukaLuka Support Replacement
Luka can provide Bleed DoTs and remove enemy buffs with his Skill.
Star Rail - GallagherGallagher Utility Replacement
Gallagher can provide an ATK reduction debuff with his Enhanced Basic ATK. He can also heal the team as long as an ally attacks the debuffed enemy.
Star Rail - LuochaLuocha Utility Replacement

Team shown is just an example of possible Mono-element team comps.

Silver Wolf can enable mono-element teams to take on fights against enemies that would otherwise not have a specific Elemental Weakness.

Though you still run into an issue of it being a 50/50 between Quantum and the other element, an enemy that's weak to Quantum by default will guarantee a non-quantum Elemental Weakness to be applied.

Silver Wolf Best Relics

All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relics Rating & Merits
Genius of Brilliant Stars Genius of Brilliant Stars x4 ★★★★★ - Best
Genius of Brilliant Stars is Silver Wolf's best Relic set as it increases her overall DMG and gives her DEF penetration, on top of the debuffs she can inflict.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat Musketeer of Wild Wheat x4 ★★★★☆ - 2nd Best
Musketeer of Wild Wheat can be a good alternative since it increases both ATK and SPD for Silver Wolf, both of which have great value for her.
Ornaments Merits
Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise ★★★★★ - Best
Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise is Silver Wolf's best Planar Ornament since it gives her Effect Hit Rate, making it more likely for her to land her debuffs while also increasing her ATK.
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 Recommended Eidolons

Why We Recommend It
E1 ★★★☆☆ - Good
This lets you build Silver Wolf's Ultimate faster, letting you use ATK% instead of ER for the Rope piece.
E2 ★★★★★ - Amazing
This Eidolon drastically reduces Silver Wolf's Effect Hit Rate requirement to only 47%, meaning you can build more damage stats on her.
E4 ★★★★☆ - Great
This allows Silver Wolf's Ultimate to deal more damage based on the number of debuffs applied to the target.
E6 ★★★★☆ - Great
This increases Silver Wolf's DMG for every debuff a target has, which is great if you wanna run her as a Main or Sub-DPS.

Silver Wolf Effect Hit Rate Requirements

Level 8 Level 10
Skill
(Weakness Implant)
103% 96%
Skill
(All RES Reduction)
67% 67%
Ultimate
(DEF Down)
67% 67%
Talent
(Bugs)
142% 131%

Her Effect Hit Rate formula is computed by taking into consideration the highest possible Effect RES of an enemy (40%) and the base chance of the debuff applying.

The Effect Hit Rate requirement of Silver Wolf's Skill to guarantee the debuff is 96% at Level 10 or 103% at Level 8. This drastically goes down to 47% at Level 10 and 52% at Level 8 if you have Silver Wolf at E2 because of the Effect RES reduction it provides.

Although Silver Wolf's Talent needs a very high Effect Hit Rate to guarantee the debuffs from the Bugs, it isn't a main requirement since her talent can apply from any attack. This means that Silver Wolf should only really focus on guaranteeing her Weakness implant.

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 a random ally's element(including her own), with a very high chance of applying an Element that isn't their weakness by default.

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