Silver Wolf

"Deals Quantum DMG equal to 100% of Silver Wolf's ATK to a single enemy." (Lv.6)

Energy Gain: 20

Toughness Break: 30

On its own, Silver Wolf’s basic attack is typical. But her talent gives it the chance to implant a debuff.

Once Silver Wolf has implanted the Weakness debuff, there is no need to use her Skill again until it needs refreshed. Because of this, she can also be the team’s Skill Point generator. Thus, leveling up her Basic Attack is a decent investment, but shouldn’t be done until both her Skill and Ultimate are maxed.

"There is a 85% base chance to add 1 Weakness of an on-field ally's Type to the target enemy. This also reduces the enemy's DMG RES to that Weakness Type by 20% for 2 turn(s). If the enemy already has that Type Weakness, the effect of DMG RES reduction to that Weakness Type will not be triggered. Each enemy can only have 1 Weakness implanted by Silver Wolf. When Silver Wolf implants another Weakness to the target, only the most recent implanted Weakness will be kept. In addition, there is a 100% base chance to reduce the All-Type RES of the enemy further by 10% for 2 turn(s). Deals Quantum DMG equal to 196% of Silver Wolf's ATK to this enemy." (Lv.10)

Energy Gain: 30

Toughness Break: 60

Silver Wolf’s Skill is her defining trait. She applies a Weakness to one enemy and reduces their DMG RES to that Weakness type. This allows teammates to Break targets they normally wouldn’t be able to.

One major note that isn’t stated in her Skill description is that Silver Wolf will never apply a Weakness the enemy is naturally weak too. This means if the enemy is only missing one Weakness based on the team’s composition, that Weakness is guaranteed to be chosen.

But a Skill this powerful has some drawbacks. The Weakness applied is at random based on the team’s elements and its single-target only. This makes her an excellent boss killer but weaker against multiple enemies and waves.

Silver Wolf’s Skill is a top priority Trace to level-up. It not only increases her personal damage and the All-Type RES reduction, but it increases the base chance to apply the debuffs.

Energy Cost: 110 "There's a 100% base chance to decrease the target enemy's DEF by 45% for 3 turn(s). And at the same time, deals Quantum DMG equal to 380% of Silver Wolf's ATK to the target enemy." (Lv.10)

Energy Gain: 5

Toughness Break: 90

User Banned is pretty straightforward. It reduces the defense of one target and then deals damage, allowing herself to take advantage of the debuff.

Silver Wolf’s Ultimate is another high-priority Trace to level up. It increases the base chance to apply the defense debuff, and increases the damage dealt and amount of defense decreased.

"Silver Wolf can create three types of Bugs: reduce ATK by 10%, reduce DEF by 8%, and reduce SPD by 6%. Every time Silver Wolf attacks, she has a 72% base chance to implant a random Bug that lasts for 3 turn(s) in the enemy target." (Lv.10)

Energy Gain: 0

Toughness Break: 60

Although the Talent debuffs might seem insignificant compared to her Skill or Ultimate, they are applied more frequently and easier to land on multiple enemies. Her talent solidifies her role as an all-inclusive debuffer.

One unmentioned boon of the Talent is it will always attempt to implant a bug that isn’t already there. Getting all three debuffs on a boss is easier than first thought.

It might not seem like it, but her Talent has a high level-up priority as well. Her debuff amounts will double from lv. 1 to lv. 10, and the increase to the base chance is much appreciated too.

"Immediately attacks the enemy. After entering battle, deals Quantum DMG equal to 80% of Silver Wolf's ATK to all enemies, and ignores Weakness Types and reduces Toughness from all enemies. Enemies with their Weakness Broken in this way will trigger the Quantum Weakness Break effect."

Silver Wolf’s Technique is one of the most powerful initiation Techniques. It reduces the entire enemy team’s Toughness regardless of their natural Weaknesses. This will deal a Quantum Weakness break on fodder enemies and give Silver Wolf’s team a head start on the bosses.

Quantum Weakness break is arguably the most powerful in the game. It reduces enemy’s action points and deals massive damage when their turn comes around. If Silver Wolf is in the team, use her Technique to initiate combat.

Branch 1: Generate

Generate has two significant benefits. First is the duration increase of her bugs from 3 -> 4 turns. This allows Silver Wolf to maintain all three bugs on a target reliably.

The second is being able to apply bugs outside her turn. If paired with powerful breaking units, she could consistently keep any entire team infected with all three bugs.

Branch 2: Inject

The second branch simply gives Silver Wolf more time to be a Skill Point generator without it expiring on bosses.

Branch 3: Side Note

Branch three is arguably the weakest aspect of Silver Wolf’s kit. The All-Type RES increase is a nice additive, but it’s small and only applied when her Skill is used.

Stat Only Branchs

"After using her Ultimate to attack enemies, Silver Wolf regenerates 7 Energy for every debuff that the target enemy currently has. This effect can be triggered up to 5 time(s) in each use of her Ultimate."

Silver Wolf’s first eidolon is a powerful addition to her kit. She can effectively gain back almost 1/3rd of her ultimate energy after every use. This gives her consistent Ultimate usage even when using a Break Effect Link Rope over an Energy Recharge one.

"When an enemy enters battle, reduces their Effect RES by 20%."

The second Eidolon is her most powerful one. This gives Silver Wolf a no condition, no turn limit Effect RES reduction, allowing her to run less Effect Hit Rate and save room for other stats. But it is powerful specifically because of this line: “When an enemy enters battle”. This means Zombie Network will trigger on every new wave or summoned enemy.

"Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15."

Eidolon three is the typical Skill and Talent level-up.

"After using her Ultimate to attack enemies, deals Additional Quantum DMG equal to 20% of Silver Wolf's ATK for every debuff currently on the enemy target. This effect can be triggered for a maximum of 5 time(s) during each use of her Ultimate."

Silver Wolf’s fourth Eidolon adds up to 100% more damage to her Ultimate. It’s nice, but only a 25% overall damage increase to a single enemy.

"Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10."

The fifth Eidolon is the traditional Ultimate and Basic Attack level-up.

"For every debuff the target enemy has, the DMG dealt by Silver Wolf increases by 20%, up to a limit of 100%."

Silver Wolf’s final Eidolon is an upgraded fourth Eidolon. It increases her personal damage by a sizeable amount and isn’t limited to only the Ultimate like Bounce Attack is.

Incessant Rain

Incessant Rain is Silver Wolf’s signature Lightcone. It gives her both Effect Hit Rate and Crit Rate, both much-desired stats. But the biggest benefit is the Aether Code debuff. This introduces another unique debuff to her kit that doesn’t overlap with her built-in debuffs, making both much more powerful.

In the Name of the World

In the Name of the World is a decent Lightcone but it does nothing special. It increases her personal damage and only increases the Effect Hit Rate of her Skill.

Before the Tutorial Mission Starts

Before the Tutorial Mission Starts is an event-limited Lightcone given for free at Superimpose level 5 to those that took part in the Starhunt Game event from version 1.1. It’s made specifically for Silver Wolf, giving her a massive amount of Effect Hit Rate and a built-in Ultimate energy recharge. This Lightcone is Silver Wolf’s second best option currently.

Good Night and Sleep Well

If you missed Before the Tutorial Mission Starts in the 1.1 event, and don’t have any 5* nihility lightcones, Good Night and Sleep Well is an okay option for Silver Wolf. Since she applies a lot of debuffs, she makes use of its full effect.

Body

An Effect Hit Rate Body piece is really the only way to go. A Crit piece could be an option, but that’s only if you already have high Effect Hit Rate, which is unlikely.

Feet

Speed on Feet is the best, which is typical for most characters.

Planar Sphere

A Quantum Damage Planar Sphere is the best option.

Link Rope

There are both pros and cons to running either Energy Regen or Break Effect. The Link Rope is the only place in relics that increases Energy Regen. But the amount is a lot smaller compared to Break Effect.

On the other hand, Break Effect is a great stat for Silver Wolf because she has access to the best Weakness break, and she’s able to implant Quantum weaknesses on enemies that don’t naturally have it.

In the end, use the piece that has the better sub-stats and rounds out the rest of Silver Wolf’s stats.

Sub Stats

Silver Wolf is stat-hungry, which has both benefits and drawbacks. She makes use of any stat on a relic, except defense or health, but she requires endgame gear to bring out the best she can be.

Speed is the first stat to focus on. Silver Wolf ideally wants 147 speed for two reasons. First, to apply her debuffs before her teammates turn, so they can take advantage of them. And second, so she can get an extra turn in cycle 0, 2, 4, & 6. The more turns she gets, the more energy, Skill Points, and debuffs she can apply. This speed target is an easy target because Silver Wolf comes with a huge 107 base speed. Equip her with a Speed Feet relic and she already has 132 speed. Getting the extra 15 in sub-stats shouldn’t be an issue.

Next up is Effect Hit Rate. Regardless if you’re using Effect Hit Rate on the Body part or not, every piece should have it as a sub. This is Silver Wolf’s most important stat, so the more the better.

Silver Wolf is a Quantum character, so she has access to the best Weakness break in the game. And since she can apply her own weakness to any enemy, adding Break Effect synergies well.

After those, Crit stats will bring her more damage than Atk will. Try to achieve a 1:1 ratio.
