Best builds for Silver Wolf in Honkai: Star Rail

Pros and cons of Silver Wolf
Investing in Silver Wolf requires Star Jade. Before committing, players should decide if the heroine fits the team’s goals. Below is a balanced look at advantages and drawbacks.
- Her ability to weaken foes and unleash strong damage, especially after unlocking the 4th and 6th Eidalon;
- Her presence reduces the opposing element’s resistance, helping allies land more damage.
- She may be less effective as a frontline primary attacker;
- Relatively lower protection stats;
- Her full potential hinges on a well‑chosen light cone;
- Maximum impact requires unlocking all six Eidalons.
Silver Wolf active skills

- Forced exit program (technique): Deals quantum damage to all enemies while ignoring defenses and lowers their resistance to future hits;

- Wait for the system to respond… (talent, debuff): Attacks carry a 78% chance to cause a random bug reducing an opponent’s power, speed, or defense for two turns.

How to play Silver Wolf — team composition and synergy
Core tactics involve applying debuffs to the strongest enemies and focusing on a single target when possible. This approach is especially effective after unlocking the 4th and 6th Eidolons and when the weapon enhances damage against debuffed foes. If debuffs are already present or an enemy is low, Silver Wolf’s standard attack becomes a viable option.
- Main attacking partners: Dan Heng, Zele, Sushan, or Yanqing;
- Protections from teammates: Cheetah or March 7;
- Optional healer: Natasha or Bailu.
