But how should you build her? Now, so that you can unlock the full potential of the game’s best overall debuffer, here’s the best Silver Wolf Build in Honkai Star Rail.

Best Light Cones for Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail

As usual for 5-star characters. the best Light Cone for Silver Wolf is her featured one, Incessant Rain. The Light Cone will be our main pick as it will allow you to increase her Effect hit Rate by 24%, thus increasing the probability of her debuffs taking effect, all while also increasing her CRIT Rate by 12% if an enemy is affected by 3 or more debuffs (lv1).

Incessant Rain will also allow her to apply Aether Code on any enemy she attacks, thus increasing the damage they will receive by 12% for 1 turn (lv1).

Her featured 5-star Light Cone will then be followed by the game’s 4-star event-exclusive Light Cone, Before the Tutorial Mission Starts. At level 1, the Light Cone will increase her Effect Hit Rate by 20%, as well as allow her to generate 4-energy after attacking a debuffed enemy.

Using Sampo’s Eyes of the Prey can also work well for her, given its ability to increase her Effect Hit Rate by 20%.

The Best Silver Wolf Team Compositions in Honkai Star Rail

Thanks to her ability to make any DPS a great fit by implanting a weakness to their element on enemies, Silver Wolf can excel in any given team.
