What are the abilities of Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail?

Since Silver Wolf is a Nihility character, most of her kit involves debuffing her enemies by shredding defenses and inflicting weakness. One of the primary reasons that make Silver Wolf so unique is her skill called "Allow Changes?".

Upon casting, she can apply any weakness to an enemy based on an on-field ally. However, this will work only if there is an ally whose element doesn't match an enemy's toughness. Additionally, the debuffed will take increased damage through the inflicted weakness from Silver Wolf. This allows her to fit into any team, regardless of the activity.

Her ultimate ability, User Banned, can reduce the enemy's DEF stat for three turns, all while dealing high bursts of Quantum damage. Lastly, Silver Wolf's passive talent allows her to implant a random debuff upon attacking, including a reduction in the enemy's SPD, DEF, and ATK.

What are the best Light Cones for Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail?

The signature Light Cone for Silver Wolf is called Incessant Rain, available only via the limited Gacha banner. It can increase the wearer's Effect Hit Rate and Crit Rate based on the number of enemies with debuffs. Additionally, dealing a basic attack or ultimate can inflict a special debuff on enemies, further making them vulnerable to increased damage for a single turn.

As mentioned, an upcoming event tied to Silver Wolf will be held sometime in v1.1. Players can complete different events to purchase a 4-star Light Cone dedicated to Silver Wolf's kit, called Before the Tutorial Mission starts. Similar to the signature Light Cone, this 4-star gear piece can boost the wearer's Effect Hit Rate as well.

Lastly, "In the Name of the World" and "Fermata" are great F2P alternatives until the event arrives.

Which Relics to equip on Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail?

The Genius of Brilliant Stars will be the best Relic set to equip on Silver Wolf, as it increases the wearer's Quantum damage while ignoring DEF on enemies. The Space Sealing Station Planar Ornament can further increase Silver Wolf's ATK stat. This can be increased if her SPD reaches 120.
