STRONGEST SUPPORT IN THE GAME! Best Silver Wolf Guide & Build [Best Relics, Light Cones, and Teams]

Doing SW pulls tomorrow on twitch and experimenting! twitch.tv/braxophone
People are misunderstanding her skill: it checks enemy weakness that they already have, so if an enemy is weak to quantum already, she won't apply quantum. But if SHE applied quantum, she can technically apply quantum again, since the enemy wasn't initially weak to it.
To explain the soup analogy bc apparently it was bad:
If you add an enemy weakness to them, it does not reduce their resistance. That's why silver wolf reduces enemy resistance by 20%; to put that resistance stat in line with other weaknesses the enemy has
Boss max eff res got tuned down so I had to panic and edit a few things for this video literally with an hour to spare, sorry this isnt my new style I outsourced this one to an editor on late notice so we had less time to put together crazy edits.

I'm so happy I won the 50-50 😭
GOODLUCK TO ALL THE SILVER WOLF WANTERS!

If you are not sure how her debuff works, her debuff skill is like in Simulated Universe as Punklorde mentality curio but only single target.

i'M SO GLAD HER SKILL CHECKS ENEMY WEAKNESSES
THIS IS THE GOOD TIMELINE

I think it's important to see what the enemy weaknesses are so you can have an easier time building. Let's assume the enemy is weak to Wind Quantum and Lightning. Bronya can be on the first slot, SW at Second, Tingyun or Bailu at third then the fourth slot can be really anyone because the enemy is already covered in those weaknesses. You can run Sushang or Hook or anyone really

I'm usually just a lurker on these videos but I just wanted to say how much I enjoy these guides. They're super informative and your sense of humor always gives me a little chuckle 😊 keep on keeping on~

I know I’m a bit late but I will say, for me I think the best planar set is the energy regen one as it gives you action forward upon starting combat which is very important for her to start her skill before anyone else attacks. And more energy regen on her is always a plus

Silver Wolf, Seele, Tingyun, Bailu is the squad I'm running right now and it feels pretty good so far especially since Tingyun and Silver like using normal attacks which save skill usage for Seele and Bailu, and the Quantum debuff Silver Wolf pulls are really nice for Seele and adding the Lightning debuff also gives Tingyun and Bailu better usage outside their skills and ults

I really liked how you added the extra at the end for eidolons. Please continue to do so, I ended up pulling e1 and I noticed I no longer would need an ER rope. So I’m glad you were able to pick up on this info and provide the chart. Also picked up Yoimiya C3 today so we living good!!!

I’m not pulling for Silver Wolf(Blade has my whole heart), but I love the guides so I’m gonna watch.
Thanks so much for the awesome content, Brax! Been following you since your Genshin guides.

YES! Seeing her immediately made me think of building a Welt team. The 4* LC Good Night Sleep Well is perfect for Welt and SW combo. Luocha and Yukong with SW will make for an interesting combo too! Definitely pulling for her with my Welt account.

I really love the way to give us some seconds in every section, it's like a little break after some classes 🤣

thank you, at 27:09 you made me feels way better because i accidentally get e1 silverwolf while pulling for dang heng, but still im no longer going to get luocha any time soon😔

Even if you don't apply the right weakness and end up applying quantum instead, she'll apply the weakness first then attacks with her skill. She'll deal massive toughness damage with her ult regardless of the enemy element, and still surprisingly useful even in the worst scenario. Because of this, i think she's super good with Sushang, and you can already make a full physical team(+SW), even better if you have Clara imo.
Edit; Also, enemies effect res debuff totally reminds me of EM buff on certain reactions back in the day in Genshin.

The weakness addition and def reduction is very good. I had been annoyed in times where enemies summon mobs or SU has mobs that doesn't have the weakness of you team...

Love that you're talking about mono physical and electric. Got my Clara while fishing for SW and I couldn't be happier. Got her light cone on like my first couple days of playing so I knew she'd be coming home. Clara and Natasha make such a good core. Even without SW, Tingyuan (hehe) and Clara/Natasha look like a great combo. Also glad that you touched on her pairing with weakness breaking proficient characters like Asta. The best thing about her for people like me that didn't pull on Seele is that we get the ability to use our other elemental carrys to break quantum weakness. That's where mono shines.
Using SW requires a good bit of planning to get consistency, but her payoff is wonderful. Also... Don't you think there's some value to stacking a lot of energy regen on her? With her event lightcone, energy chain and E1, she would get her ult back very fast. I'd like to see some analysis on this as spamming her ult would be amazing not only for damage, but for breaking as the sole quantum unit on a mono team.

I didn't really want Silver Wolf, but i'm seriously considering getting her for my Seele/Ting Yun/Bailu Team. But in case i get Bronya, she's gonna be a stable on that team. So hard to decide.

i just started playing Star rail, since im in rest mode with MMORPGs
and i instantly wanted silver wolf. I managed to get her E1 with her featured weapon. I also got a solid Ice team set up.
The way she allows teams to gel is absurd! Pela is super strong, and stacking debuffs just makes the enemy scream.
I love everything about this char :D im having a great time
Nice video

I pulled her finally after like 170 pulls with mere days remaining. Worth it considering I just started playing a few days after she was released 😂

Im faithfully saving for Kafka, but you can bet I'll get Silverwolf in a future re-run ❤

200% bonus damage on Ult, and 100% on ALL damage is pretty good. Especially considering how easy it is for SW to stack debuffs with her talent, skills, AND Ult. She'll probably run a pretty decent DPS on her own with that alone.

There's some idea i think about her
First is to build break effect. She's a speedy unit so she can stack that dot debuff and it deals huge damage. Not to mention that it can work in any situation because she can insert quantum weakness
Second is to run her with himeko. If she can insert element weakness means there's huge chance to easily break and trigger himeko talent

Ngl the biggest advantage is the fact that she cant plant a weakness if the enemy has a base weakness to that element. So if you have quantum and fire on your team, and the enemy has a base weakness to fire, you guarantee planting quantum

My Kafka funds were afraid of you uploading a video like this.

One thing to note about the e2 is it gets cleansed on subsequent hp gauges if the boss has more than 1

I lost my 50/50 to Gepard and got him E1, but still got Sliver Wolf and she has been performing incredible well and with only her 4 star lightcone and on shirt gear she has 99.7% effect hitrate and honestly even if she didn’t perform well I still use her cause I’m loving her gameplay! Good luck to everyone who plans to pull for her and I hope you all win your 50/50s.

Actually, I pulled for her and got her, don't even realize how flexible she is. I just wanted to build a mono-quant team in the future. But now I will experiment with different team compositions. Weakness check is awesome. Choosing characters for team against a particular enemy will definitely be more interesting now

The ice team is insane if you replace pela with Seele cause now you have 1 carry of each element and it SW weakness won't go to waste.
Also Bailu, Tingyuan, Seele and SW is a good team cause if you get lighting, Tingyuan does a fair amount of damage with her basic and you have support and healer roles covered.
However as i predicted, she'll increase in value once you have a full quantum team.

Love the video, thank you so much for the detailed info

I'm using Welt, Silver Wolf, Pela, Natasha right now.
I've kinda damned the weakness shred for pure debuff value.
Once Fu Xuan is available (shes supposed to massively support the survivability of the team), I'm going to try an all quantum to use Seele as primary and Qingqui as sub.

Omg I won the 50/50 and really needed a build for her, thank you so much for this video 😭

I love how you edit these videos keep it up :)

My luck has been insane! Got her on my second 10 pull and now I can save up for Kafka 😊

nice vid. Your guide always one of the best and very detailed, BRAX!

At 5:55 when he says "ultimately" right when Silver Wolf uses her Ultimate. From the triple 5's to the complementary phrasing, there are so many perfections in this single instance of the video. ahhhhhhhh

I'm currently running Silver Wolf with Seele, Asta and Bailu.
Bailu's healing is still busted, Asta still provides so much buff value, and Seele is the main DPS carry. Granted, for a lot of fights I swap out Asta for Bronya, but both have their clear uses. Enemies who don't usually debuff I just use Asta since she can break guard much faster AND buff everyone while she does it.
That all said, another great guide video as always - thanks to your previous HSR build guides and Genshin build guides, it's helped me build a firm foundation for each character since, especially with the game being new, your videos provide clear and thorough reasoning for each type of stat allotment

I love Silverwolf's kit and she is amazing with the weaknesses and damn that passives... 😭 but nonetheless Luocha's kit got me by a little more than Silverwolf's amazing kit, and I have Bailu and Natasha yet I rarely use Bailu because mostly I use Natasha because of the cleanse as well... I just use Bailu for a second team lol and I am really a sucker for healers and Luocha's Banner seems too good to pass up especially he is with Yukong. 😫 so I'm willing to take a risk and pull Silver Wolf in her future rerun.

thanks for the detailed guide, brax! here i am scrambling for guides as she came home unexpectedly at 8 pity (i was trying to bring my pity count exactly at 10 so that i can easily track my pulls for luocha). hope i'd get this luck when pulling for luocha, too!

That Sushang team is something i was actually thinking about before but i wasnt sure if it would actually work all too well. Good to see im not the only one that thought of it lol

It's really tempting but I already made my goal to set up my mono quantum team and as a baby whale and if I ever have a chance on a rerun, I'll pull for Eidolons with no hesitation. She already came home for me and I couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the guide too!

Must. Save. For. Kafka.
I can’t fall for that extremely satisfying Sushang team because she’s my favorite dps. Too bad I don’t have Clara tho. I will probably end up replacing Clara with Gepard, but now I have to consider the Phys/Quantum/Ice spread

I really want to try that mono-physical team, tempted to grab Clara from the 300 pull on the standard banner. Though I know it's one of the only chances to get Welt without praying to RNG.

I got her to E1 S1 as a f2p player (aside from bp cause I wanted those nihility resources), which was really nice. She is my favourite character by far currently.
I am attempting to get E2 now, though I dont know if I will be able to or not, but one can only hope

I think Brax the new best-in-slot planar set for Silverwolf is the Spritely Vonwacq. The set bonus is already enough to cover SW's small energy need for her burst. This is assuming that she is using the Before Tutorial lightcone.
If the rotation is burst>Skill>NA>NA then you would always have a permanent uptime on her burst in a 3 rotation.
While the Pan-Galactic set gives her a 25% attack increase, it's still lesser than having an Attack% link rope which gives more than 40% I believe. And many players are likely using ERR link rope on her to cover the lacking energy needs which could be lower in terms of damage output.
The 10% Effect Hit Rate on the Pan-Galactic set is also not that needed now that the effect resistance of enemies has been lowered and it's a lot easier to achieve her desired EHR now with her traces + Before Tutorial LC and EHR body piece.

When it comes to team comps, i'm running Seele Quantum Nuke which focuses on using Tingyun to buff Seele and debuffing with Silverwolf.

I did liked her overall performance in gamez even if not 100% done building, and was even considering to whale for her... Not enough for a E6, but was considering to get at least E2 (I already have E1) and for extra copies of her cone (got one as well), wondering if it would be worth it

I though I was unlucky since I got her on the 80th guaranteed pull but then after a single pull, Himeko came home. My guarantee is still alive!

Nice guide it was helping alot also I got silverwolf after 20 pull

Been excited for silver wolf for awhile, so im happy she came home fast and won all 3 50/50s. I also love the team i planned, basically the sushang team because sushang works amazingly with silver wolf, but instead of clara i put the gambling addict. Since you are so skill point positive with silver wolf and sushang gambling addict can have a ton of points to roll and power up. Clara i feel needs a team that directs damage to her more like March. Plus i want to use gambling addict haha
Btw, ive been running the break set on her over quantum, been enjoying it but is that not a good set?

Once we get an abundance quantum character, Ill probably run Seele, Qingque, and Silverwolf. Qingque is also a really good skill point generator if you play her right because she rerolls one of her tiles every basic attack and can get some good damage out of it after getting 4 in a row or using their ult for the enhanced basic.

I suspect a mono-quantum team being viable in the near future
For as lynx (or thats her name) is leaked as a 4 star quantum healer
And then there's fu xuan (pink small co worker of jingyuan) being leaked now and then as a 5 star preservation character
Like what are the odds

Once Fu Xuan and Lynx come out it will be possible to run a mono-Quantum team across all the content in the game, which seems cracked to me

I think it's funny how everyone compares her to Kazuha, because not only did I just get her in Star Rail, but also got Kazuha in Genshin, and I'm currently building them in parallel.

when i found out that silverwolf was coming and that she's a GREAT debuffer i actually got happy on loosing the 50/50 in jing yuan's banner and getting it to guaranteed, i can literally do like 5 pulls and i get her

Interestingly enough, Kafka is also in Honkai impact 3rd too.

Got her from winning the 50/50, Lost the 75/25 for my second Clara LC, planning to get Blade so no problem there. But gladly the LC came from a hard RNG roll on 2nd round on the 18th roll after that. She has surprisingly strong damage output for a debuffer, it's a thing that shouldn't be overlooked!
I also got some goodies while rolling for SW, like managed to get Serval to E3 with her LC at Superimpose 5, she literally nukes back to back every turn as she gains the ult charge right away, the 64% Ultimate is no joke when farming robots. While not something I initially wanted now it make me breeze when farming for drops.
Also got that Break LC to 4 which gives 49% break (raising her break to 212%!), I equipped it on Asta and I literally beaten Rank 4 Cocolia with a Lv 62 party before she could even do her final attack more than the one time that is unavoidable, she got her toughness broken twice with a Stelle, Hook, Asta and Bailu party. The Stunlock provided with Asta's fast charging Ult and insane break effect really can stunlock cocolia's phase 2 to death while underleveled. I do think with this build is really nice to get silver wolf so i can use her, she's been more reliable than tingyun when i want a better fit overall double support team with SW, Stelle (Preservation) and Seele, when i have the typical issue boss likes to hit Tingyun more than necessary and her low survaibility without a healer is being a liability on some fights.
Overall I do think it's a great gacha.

I'm really glad they made SW AI smart. Checking the initial weakness before applying, that's very good and huge for me despite the nerfs she got. I once said on reddit that "they won't make the same mistake of creating another kazuha", guess I'm wrong. Plus the free LC from event, I wonder how they are gonna top this event on future events. I'm not regretting pulling for her the day her banner went live, gonna pull for her until her banner is over, I hope I get her to E2. (pulled for her LC because why not, I loved her since the CBT).

I was already planning a 2-2 team with Seele, bailu, silver wolf, and tingyun, so this works perfectly 😀

I was expecting the typical "you dont need her eidolons they arent that strong don't feel pressured f2people" stuff content creators always do. I stand completely corrected😂
As a E6 haver (only EQ3), being forced to use the trail SW in the event made me wonder where 80% of her damage went and why she suddenly wasnt hitting harder than Seele🙃
The funniest part was that she was doing a ton of damage already, before I remembered I needed to level up her lightcone...

I know it was kind of touched on in the vid, but how does the f2p light cone at impose 5 compare to her signature at zero? How much better or worse is it

personally I'm running her with Seele, Jing Yuan, and Bailu, so I've got the 50/50 on what weakness I get (quantum or electric) but either weakness is still going to have a high damage character that's able to hit that weakness

Frankly, the only thing I wanted to know to decide whether I pull or not for her is if she would apply a weakness that the enemy already has.
Thankfully, 21:46 . Now I can finally bring Seele and Welt and have them both hit weakness on the same character.
Seriously, been playing with the 2 in the same team a while, and I think I haven't fought an enemy that is weak to both Imaginary and Quantum so far.

Does her def reduct from ult count toward the three debuff needed for the crit rate?

I’m wondering if her and sampo could be a good pair, since I’m planning to pair both of them with kafka whenever she comes out

Running a sub dps welt, dps seele, healer natasha and support silver worf. Still not to sure about this line up but so far this line up has help me clear every FH and US

I m so happy. I pulled Bronya on first 80 pulls _(I looked for her)_ then in my first next 10 pulls, get silver Wolf. ❤

I somehow got her in one pull. And no , I didn't stack much pity beforehand as I was trying to get dupes for Tingyun AND Jing Yuan (and I only got 1 dupe for him)

Thanks for the explanation, this makes me wanna pull for Loucha more.. I'll get her on future banner rerun for sure.. Right now as an F2P, I don't have enough resources to go around..

Now this makes me more motivated to build her, just won 50-50 to get her and her light cone too

im curious how good the break effect 4-pc with effect hit rate planar (since its effect takes 25% of effect hit rate and turns it into atk% capping at 25%) would be , leaning fully into her support role and still benefiting from decent damage due to breaks and quantum entanglement scaling off break effect %.
i was thinking along the lines of
Rope - Break %
Sphere Quantum DMG%
Boots - Speed
Body - Effect Hit Rate %
Subs - EHR / Break / CRate / CDMG
resulting in high breaks high entanglement dmg & still having decent atk stat (especially since her battle technique ignores element type resulting in a break on most enemies at fight start maybe resulting in a superbly easy 1st wave clear)

Silver Wolf seems like a character that I should go for, but since I'm also pretty new to the game and I'm sadly broke as hell, I'm worried that I won't get her, same with Kafka. But I appreciate what you're sharing from the video.

Discovered your channel today and love your guides. Subbed!

In the event right now i think they have the 4 star quantum set for free as one of the reward, might be good for beginner if you not ready to farm artifact yet

By misfortune, I didn't get Seelee, I didn't get the Jing Yuan cone...but with 70 tickets (won in play not paid) I got Yanping and 3 SW for the E2 ! I am very happy

Also about the weakness implant bias thing, I feel like it is biased towards how many allies have this one type because I was running seele, sw, Tingyun and gepard and it kept rolling quantum first without fail

My favorite part of getting and using Silver Wolf was putting her on a team with Seele, winning a fight, saying to myself "huh, Seele and Silver Wolf make a good team!" and then slowly realizing that Silver Wolf is Bronya so of course they make a good team because Seele and Bronya are literally made for each other.

I find pulling for my favorite characters is more enjoyable than pulling for meta characters. Which is why I’m using up my life savings for best girl Silver Wolf.

I thought her skill is counted by on-field allies. which means if theres 3 fires then it should be 75% chance to inflict fire and 25% chance to inflict quantum. can someone explain.

Great vid - I'm happy they stuck with the SW from the latest beta. She's going to be relevant for a LONG time now.

for the clara, sushang, silver wolf, natasha team: what kind of builds would you give them? i'd love to try this one out

Damn I actually got her in one 10 pull. This is actually the first time the gacha gods blessed me in any gacha.

Got her on the first 10 pull and I deserved it after wasting 150 pull on jing yuan banner and losing the 50/50. Can't wait to build her up

I’ll probably give the triple physical team a try once I am able to experiment with characters more

Been running Silver wolf, Seele, Jing jun, Bailu. It is really fun.

Just a Disclamer, her F2P lightcone it's incredible on Welt!!!! Ever better if you have his E2. It turns him into a freakinf good DPS/SUPPORT

I got 2 copies in my first 10 pull so happy, good luck to everybody 🤞

Dude she is amazing and she is eternally stuck to mono physical for me.
While I do think she is amazing I don't think she is kazuha of star rail because he does his intended role unconditionally and groups enemies etc..

I’m planning on building a team with SW, Jing yuan, kafka (when she comes out) and bailu if i ever get her.

Imagine a team of Fu Xuan/SW/Bronya and Blade🥴

Im so happy the fact that i gave into pulling her , i got her within 12 and now she goes well with my team lol
Edit: now i can pull both her and kafka lmao

The hard part of manipulating weakness for her is u need lot of characters built, which cant be achieved by most playerbase atm.
So her main best immediate use is if u run mono, either ice lightning or in few months, quantum where she gonna be the best, as her skill will be 100% consistent, whatever ur enemies element is.
She is kind of characters that is better to pull on her reurn later, when u have lot more charactwrs to be able to utlize her consistently

could you run a whole quantum team? (fuxuan upcoming, lynx upcoming, seele and sw? would you get a 100% quantum that way?)

So they changed her E6 to mainly focus on damage which is balanced i guess compared to the other E6(idk if that was her beta E6) where she can implant element weakness without turn limits

I was upset that I lost my 50/50 to Clara but I did get silver wolf too. I will definitely build sushang as well. Guess I'm lucky after all 😅😅😅

I had hard pity on Jing Yuan's warp and ran out of gems. But it wasn't for nothing and immediately got Silver Wolf!! :D

As a Himeko enjoyer(AKA the game ended up giving me 3 copies of her and i'll be damned if I don't get SOME use out of her :') ) I am enjoying the ability to actually use her lol That said I'm torn on either pulling for loucha as a second healer or saving for fu xuan, hoping she can replace fire as a shielder for the quantum/fire setup

Here's the real secret to Silver Wolf:
If you are running a two element team, if the enemy is weak to one of those elements, you will always, 100% of the time, get the other weakness.
As such, if you are running the Physical / Quantum team of Sushang / Natasha / Seele / Silver Wolf, if you are fighting a quantum-weak enemy, you will get physical weakness 100% of the time, and if you are fighting a physical weakness enemy, you will get quantum weakness 100% of the time.
Likewise, if you are running a thunder / quantum team of Jing Yuan, Bailu, Seele, and Silver Wolf, if the enemy is weak to thunder you get quantum 100% of the time, and if the enemy is weak to quantum, you get thunder 100% of the time.
This even works on three element teams. If you have, say, Seele, Silver Wolf, Natasha, and Welt, if the enemy is weak to any combination of:
Quantum/Imaginary
Quantum/Physical
Imaginary/Physical
Silver Wolf will always give you the remaining weakness 100% of the time, giving you 100% weakness exploit.
This is the real secret to Silver Wolf - if you can construct a team that is only one element off of 100% weakness exploit, you can get a team with 100% weakness exploit.
As such, flexible team building is super powerful with her, because if you can slot in appropriate characters, you can create an impromptu super team, and exploit enemy weaknesses so much more consistently.

Since I don't have Seele and ended up with 3 Asta eidolons, I'm planning on running that team.
Or maybe a Sus Hang team with Natasha and someone else. In the unlikely chance I can get Luocha, that would be a fun team.

i am extremely sad qingque is in luochas banner instead of hers :( my priority is e6 qingque for now but hopefully her rerun comes back soon enough

That's what I'm doing i got e1 and I'm trying to get her light con right now
I got REALLY lucky i did a 10 pull and i got her twice
