Silver Wolf is a Nihility character, and thankfully, Version 1.1 gave players a free Light Cone to use that perfectly suits Silver Wolf and her abilities. Still, if you decide you want to splurge for your favorite character, there are plenty of strong options out there for you to use as well. Here’s our guide for the best Silver Wolf build in Honkai: Star Rail.

• Incessant Rain is Silver Wolf’s best 5-star Light Cone. This Light Cone increases Silver Wolf’s Effect Hit Rate by 24%, ensuring that her debuffs land on boss enemies with Effect RES more often. It also increases her Crit Rate by 12% when she attacks an enemy with 3 or more debuffs, as well as providing a 100% chance to implant an “Aether Code” on a random target that doesn’t have it. This Light Cone is tailor-made for Silver Wolf and is a good choice if you want to increase your personal damage.
• Quick on the Draw is her best 4-star Light Cone, providing an Effect Hit Rate buff of up to 40%. It also regenerates up to 8 energy when attacking DEF-reduced enemies, which greatly helps with her Ultimate uptime. This weapon can outperform Silver Wolf’s 5-star weapon as it can guarantee a debuff to land if you level all of her Traces and pair her with an Effect Hit Rate body piece. If you aren’t a heavy spender, it’s recommended to use this instead of spending for her 5-star Light Cone.
• If you miss out on the Quick on the Draw Light Cone, then you can use the Resolution Shines as Pearls of Sweat Light Cone instead. This Light Cone can ensnare enemies and reduce their DEF, providing Silver Wolf another means to lower enemy DEF.

Relics & Eidolons

• Her best 4-piece set is the Genius of Brilliant Stars set, which increases her Quantum DMG by 10% and allows her to ignore up to 20% of the enemies’ DEF. None of her debuffs actually scale off of any of her stats, so it’s best to just try and increase her personal damage instead. The main stats you’ll want are Effect Hit Rate on your Bodypiece to ensure that all of your debuffs land successfully. You’ll also want Speed on your Boots to take more turns.
• Her best 2-piece set is the Fleet of the Ageless set. This increases her HP by 12%, making her a little bulkier, while also providing a potential 8% ATK buff to your team when her SPD is 120 or above. The main stats you’ll want here are Quantum DMG on your Sphere and Energy Regeneration Rate on your Rope.
• Generally, if you want to pull for Silver Wolf’s Eidolons, the most impactful will be Eidolon 1. This allows her to refill a substantial amount of Energy after using her Ultimate, refilling 7 Energy per debuff the enemy has. Paired with the Quick on the Draw Light Cone, Silver Wolf can have some insane uptime on her Ultimate. Eidolon 2 is not too important since we can ensure she always debuffs with the right Relics. Past Eidolon 2, and the Eidolons will focus on her offensive capabilities, giving her the potential to deal more damage.
