As a new character in Honkai Star Rail 1.1, Silver Wolf is unknown to many players. Here I will tell you 8 reasons why Silver Wolf must be worth your pull.

But first, a reminder that everything stated here is just my opinion and not conclusive evidence for deciding whether you should pull Silver Wolf. Please take all results with a grain of salt.

Synergy

She’s fine now, but she’ll get better with more characters. This is because in her current form, she works well with a Single target DPS like Seele and provides a tremendous benefit to your entire team.

But as a natural debuffer, when more characters come out, she can synergize with them and become more useful.

Unique Skills

She is not just a defense debuffer. In fact, she utilizes various debuffs to attack enemies’ weak points. Her basic attack can inflict random “Bug” debuffs on enemies.

Her skills allow her to impose the weaknesses of her allies on her enemies, reducing their resistance. Her Ultimate deals a lot of Quantum damage and has a chance to “Entangle” enemies, dealing extra damage and delaying their actions. She also has a passive ability that automatically applies Entanglement and Bug debuffs to her enemies.

Finally, her unique ability allows her to ignore enemy weaknesses and drain their Toughness when entering combat. She has a chance to Entangle the enemy if the enemy’s weakness is exploited.

This means she is the best of all characters when it comes to debuffs. Because she can greatly reduce the speed of the enemy, cause a lot of damage to the enemy, and reduce the Toughness of the enemy.

Team Composition

She opens up possibilities for interesting team combinations. We can make up for RNG weakness of her skills with monotype team. This is something I don’t see often in Honkai Star Rail. But given that it doesn’t spawn Elemental Resonance like it did in Genshin Impact, it would be an interesting and viable team combo. Could theoretically do some baffling damage.

There is also Himeko as the main DPS and Burn applier. Plus Asta, she and Himeko fit together seamlessly. You can also use Fire Trailblazer as a shield and Silver Wolf debuff at the end.

In addition to monotype teams, she allows you to bring certain elements of your character into battle where enemies are usually resistant to that element. For example, you can take Silver Wolf, Seele, and two Lightning characters to the boss to fight against Svarog. This way, Silver Wolf will always apply Quantum weakness to Svarog.

Damage Buff

By my calculations, Silver Wolf increases my Seele’s damage against 20% Quantum RES enemies by about 48%. And the higher Quantum RES of the enemy, the higher the percentage of Silver Wolf’s damage increase to Seele.

Because the higher Quantum RES, the less damage Seele will do to enemies. So when Silver Wolf applies Quantum debuff, it reduces the enemy’s Quantum RES to 0%. This also applies to every character of every damage type in the game. In short, she increases the damage done by your DPS units across the board.

Complementary With Pela Skills

Silver Wolf differs completely from other Nihility units. For example, Pela’s focus is to use her ult to debuff all enemies in the field. In fact, although Silver Wolf increases the damage of my Seele to a 20% Quantum RES target by 48%.

But Pela can increase Seele’s damage to all 20% Quantum RES targets on the field by 43%. This means that Silver Wolf’s debuff is Single target, but has a higher rate smash defense than Pela’s debuff.

As mentioned earlier, Silver Wolf also debuffs several areas and applies weaknesses, while Pela only debuffs defenses and increases energy regeneration. This makes Silver Wolf a formidable unit.

Finally, Silver Wolf actually does a ton of damage. Don’t do that much damage like Pela, unless you put resources into her heart. It doesn’t mean she’s better than Pela or Pela is better than her. It just means that having a Silver Wolf will fill in the void for Pela’s debuff, and vice versa.

Strategic Debuff Stacking

Silver Wolf’s debuff ability opens up the possibility of strategic debuff stacking. By combining her debuffs with those of other characters on your team, you can create powerful synergies and enhance your overall debuffs on enemies. This strategic approach can significantly increase damage and improve the team’s overall effectiveness in combat.

Meta Doesn’t Matter

Honkai Star Rail is a PvE game where you can play as the character you want. Who cares how strong they are in Meta? Do you like Silver Wolf’s skills? Do you think she is cute? Do you like her animation and voice?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you can try it out, regardless of what people are saying about her kit.

You don’t need to compete with other players, as long as your team is strong enough to clear the game content. And Silver Wolf is definitely a powerful support in your team. Calling her will not let you down. So, get a Honkai Star Rail Account and try out this role.

Role Conception

From her attire to her expressions, even her bubblegum. She might just be the coolest and cutest design in the game so far. You must definitely pull her if you want to own this divine design.

Final Thoughts

Here are 8 reasons why I summoned Silver Wolf. Keep in mind that her gear definitely has certain shortcomings, but in my opinion, she’s still a sympathetic character to work on.
