Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail: Build Guide and Best Teams

Silver Wolf in HSR — a debuffer character capable of acting as an auxiliary DPS force. The heroine's skills have a number of unique capabilities that increase incoming damage to monsters: her active skills impose effects on enemies that reduce defense, attack power, speed (reducing defense, in turn, is the most valuable bonus).

The gameplay is entirely based on the imposition and maintenance of the listed debuffs. Despite the main feature of the personal skill - the ability give the enemy a new vulnerability, — is considered an extremely expensive character in of action points. In addition, the predominant binding to only a single target makes the heroine give in to others representatives of Non-existence, spreading mass negative statuses. For this reason, it occupies a low position in the tier list, and also requires extremely serious third-party investments to remain at the peak of its own capabilities, while continuing to compete with more versatile s.

Fortunately, the latter can be fully compensated by such positive aspects of the character as comfortable age of high-level modes and the ability to create mono-elemental squads with the most powerful debuff potential.

Hero's story

Silver Wolf is a character that appears with the huntress Kafka during the prologue. She has always seen and perceived the universe differently than ordinary people. For her, the world around her is a game where she strives to all the levels.

The hacker spent her childhood in the basement of a fast food restaurant, which became her arcade. The girl spent whole days holding the joystick until only her name remained in the rating. That day, she decided to leave the restaurant and go to Trash Mountain. Her desire to find a job was shattered by her desire for solitude, since in Panklord everyone worked in a team. The only way out was to create virtual partners, which eventually allowed her to get her first job. However, she did not stay there for long.

Having climbed the highest building in Rainbow City, she spent a long time watching the starry sky and her birthplace, a fast food restaurant, where she decided to return later. However, boredom and disappointment increasingly overcame her, as did thoughts about approaching her "line". One day, while wiping the dust off the slot machine, the girl heard footsteps behind her. She sat down and took one last look at the empty basement, after which she turned to the man standing at the door and said: "I accept your offer".

The development of the heroine's storyline can be found in her companion mission "The Spirit of Panklord".

How Silver Wolf's Skills Work

The hacker's main skills are aimed at imposing negative effects, which weaken the enemy, reducing their speed, attack power and defense. However, the girl's most important feature is the ability to create a vulnerability in the enemy to one of the allies' elements, which brings significant benefits to the entire team. Although the character's skills are focused on only one target, they allow you to easily dominate any single enemy, leaving them virtually no chance.

Active skills

Active skills include technique, basic attack, skill, and super ability.

ive skills

ive abilities, in turn, include only talent.

The order of leveling abilities

Superpower = Skill > Talent > Basic Attack

All of the Hunter's skills are aimed at helping the team deal more damage through weakening. For this reason, they should be leveled evenly. If you are low on resources, we recommend following this order:

• Superpower и skill — key skills. The skill level determines the chance of applying a debuff that creates vulnerability to the element of one of the squad , as well as the DPS received by the enemy. Upgrading the super ability will increase the percentage of enemy defense reduction and similarly allow you to inflict more damage.
• Talent affects the probability of applying debuffs to attack power, defense, and speed when using any ability, including regular attacks. Therefore, it is worth pumping it right after the ult and skill.
• Basic Attack Most often used to restore skill points and activate talent. It can be left at level one until the previous abilities are upgraded to the maximum.

Tracks

Overall increase in characteristics when upgrading tracks:

• attack power - +28%
• chance of effects hitting - +18%
• Quantum Damage Bonus - +8%

Eidolons

All consts:

E1	Social Engineering	After activating an Ultimate, each Debuff on the targeted target restores 7. energy. The effect can trigger up to 5 times.
E2	Zombie Network	When an enemy enters combat, their status resistance is reduced by 20%.
E3	Payload	Skill level +2. Talent level +2. The maximum level is 15.
E4	Bounce Attack	After activating the Ultimate, each Debuff on the Opponent deals an additional Quantum Damage equal to 20% of Attack Power. The effect can trigger up to 5 times.
E5	Brute Force Attack	Superpower level +2. The maximum level is 15. The level of basic attack +1. The maximum level is 10.
E6	Overlay Network	For each Debuff the enemy has, damage dealt is increased by 20% (up to a maximum of 100%).

The best Eidolons of the Silver Wolf are - first, second и sixth:

• E1 - Restores energy immediately after using the ult, if the enemy selected for attack has negative statuses. This will allow you to fill the energy scale much faster and, accordingly, activate the super ability more often, without resorting to the rope on VE.
• E2 - automatically reduces the resistance to effects of enemies who enter the battle. Due to this, the probability of applying weakening increases, as a result, it becomes possible to collect less chance of hitting effects, giving preference to other characteristics.
• E6 — increases damage to enemies depending on the number of negative statuses imposed on them. The shard is useful for the DD position, but does not have a significant impact on the character's effectiveness and is only a pleasant addition, an expansion of functionality.

How to Play Silver Wolf in HSR

The principle of playing the character is to consistently apply debuffs to enemies by using the skill and super ability. However, before moving on to the rotation, it is important to note a few points related to her ability:

1. It is advisable to use the skill on the largest enemy (usually located in the center), provided that he does not have a weakness to the element of one of the allies. In particular, this applies to the main DD, who will deal most of the damage to the enemy target.
2. Follow skill points. The Huntress only uses the skill on one target, although she can potentially debuff multiple enemies if she has high speed. In addition, there is a chance of creating the wrong vulnerability. In both situations, you will have to spend a lot more skill points, which may not be enough for the main damage dealer.
3. By reusing the skill, you can change the enemy's vulnerability type. Therefore, while the effect is in effect and there is no need to update/change it, give preference to the basic attack or switch to another enemy (if you have enough points).

As a result, the Silver Wolf rotation looks like this:

• Before the fight on other s, use techniques that provide buffs or shields, and then use the technique "Forced Quit Program" on any opponent. This will allow you to deal damage to all targets from the quantum armor penetration effect at the beginning of the battle, ignoring vulnerabilities and reducing durability.
• When it's the heroine's turn, activate the skill “Allow changes?” on a large enemy who does not have weaknesses similar to the elements of the allies. This will allow you to cause a Bug with a certain chance and create a debuff for one of the elements. For example, if there are 2 elements in a squad, there is approximately a 50% chance that the target will become vulnerable to one of them.
• Combine a basic attack and a skill to restore skill points while the skill's effect is active. Although a normal hit does not apply a debuff, it can also cause a Bug effect from the talent "Waiting for system response..." and thereby reduce defense, attack power or speed for 3 turns.
• When the energy bar is full, use your superpower " has been banned" on targets with quantum vulnerability. It also makes sense to use the ultimate on an enemy who needs to further reduce their defense. After this, attack the weakened enemy for main DD for 3 turns.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any character, the girl has certain “pros” and “cons”:

Advantages	Disadvantages
Capable of inducing in the enemy a weakness to an element possessed by one of the allies. This greatly simplifies assembling a team and opens up the possibility of creating mono-elemental squads.	Creation of a vulnerability to a specific element occurs randomly. Provided that all the characters in the group have different elements, it becomes more difficult to apply a weakness corresponding to the damage type of the main damage dealer.
Being a character of the Path of Nothingness, he has almost all the key debuffs: Reduces defense, attack power and speed. For this reason, it can free up a slot in the squad for other Paths, for example, Harmony.	Since opponents have congenital resistists, you need to collect as much effect hit chance as possible (before opening E2) in order to more likely guarantee the imposition of negative statuses.
F2P friendly. Does not depend on the presence of certain eidolons, as none of them have a significant impact on gameplay or the character's effectiveness in battle.	Demanding on skill points in the event that it is not possible to cause the desired weakness in the enemy on the first try. This can have a negative impact on the rest of the squad.
Deals good damage with active abilities, acting as minor dd or main dd. Considering that the Stellaron Hunter has a quantum type of damage, this becomes especially in demand.	Single target targeting makes the character a pretty strong /DD against bosses, but makes it harder to play against multiple opponents, including due to the higher skill point cost.
In the debuffer position undemanding to pumping and does not need legendary weapons to perform its main task well. To do this, it is enough to collect the chance of hitting effects in the stats of relics using a 4-star cone.

Best Silver Wolf Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

The Stellaron Hunter Hacker is a debuffer, so her entire kit is focused on helping her allies deal more damage by applying negative statuses. Key stats for the Silver Wolf build in HSR:

• Effect Hit Chance — increases the chance that the enemy target will receive a negative effect. It is worth considering that the base chance of 100%, prescribed in the skills, does not mean that each use of abilities imposes a debuff, since all enemies have an innate resistance to effects. However, the higher the indicator, the greater the likelihood of hanging a negative status.
• Speed - affects the frequency of moves, helps to weaken opponents in a timely manner or restore skill points and energy.
• Penetration effect - increases the damage that is inflicted after breaking through the enemy's vulnerability, that is, destroying his shield.
• Energy recovery - allows you to fill the energy scale faster for timely use of superpowers.

At the same time, along with applying debuffs, the heroine can deal decent damage to single targets, which allows her to be used as a DD or main DD, for whom attack power/crit indicators are not superfluous.

Recommended Specs

The main stats to look for in relics are:

Head	HP (permanent)
Arms	Attack Power (Permanent)
Body	Chance to hit effects (without a second eidolon) / crit chance or crit damage (with the second eidolon + position sap-dd/main-dd)
Legs	Speed
planar sphere	Quantum Damage
Connecting rope	Energy recovery (without the first eidolon) / attack power, penetration effect (with first eidolon)

Additional characteristics (sub-stats):

• chance of hitting effects;
• speed;
• penetration effect;
• Attack Power;

• Speed: 134-145 units.
• Energy recovery: from 120% (without the first eidolon) and 100% (with the first eidolon).

Light Cone Rating

When choosing a weapon, it is recommended to give preference to light cones, which will provide:

• chance of hitting effects;
• energy recovery;
• penetration effect.

In addition, it should be ed that the weapon must be related to Paths of Nothingnessfor the ive effect to take effect.

Any cone with a chance to hit effects is the optimal choice for the character. Only if the recommended SPE threshold is reached (96% on E0-E1 or 47% on E2-E6) does Resolve Glisten Like Pearls of Sweat become better, since the defense reduction is the strongest damage multiplier in the game.

• penetration effect;
• speed;

Silver Wolf Squad Guide in HSR

Examples of the best teams

For a greater chance of getting the desired debuff, it is advisable to use the heroine in teams where there are as many identical elements.
