Stellar Jades are probably the most valuable resource in Honkai Star Rail. And why is that, you may ask? — Well, how else do you get those super dope characters other than pulling them from the gatcha system?

Unfortunately, Stellar Jades are pretty rare currency, so you better save them up for the right moment! Let's take a look at why Silver Wolf could be the one to spend your Stellar Jades on and what makes her so good!

She is worth every single Jade …

Honkai Star Rail: Silver Wolf Will Be A Must-Have

Silver Wolf will be released on June 7 and will be the first character in version 1.1.

When deciding to pull for a new character, you should consider the follow points:

  1. Do you like the unit's gameplay and play style?
  2. Do you like the overall lore and appearance of the new character?
  3. Does the character fit into your team?

If you answered all these questions with “Yes” having Silver Wolf in mind, you should DEFINITELY go for her, since she will be the new top tier unit.

Silver Wolf's Gameplay

Since Silver Wolf is a pro hacker, she is about to invade your enemies' system and will forcibly shut it down! This makes her the perfect Debuffer, and she can be used in almost every single team comp.

Check out Silver Wolf's kit right here:

Basically, she uses Bugs to interrupt the enemies line of attack, which can be triggered whenever she wants just with her basic attack “System Warning”! By doing so, she can lower the enemy's ATK, DEF and SPD, which are almost all the important stats! She really is the best hacker, huh? …

Also, with Silver Wolf's introduction, playing mono-teams will no longer be a problem! The probably most useful aspect of her kit is the ability to change enemy's weaknesses!

Inflicting Weakness Break is one of the main obstacles during a fight in Honkai Star Rail. They work almost as a shield and if you break them, you will deal more damage to said enemy. However, shields are bound to a specific element, which can break them way easier!

"Can you let ME have some fun this time?" – Silver Wolf

Until now, you need to have a big variety of elements within your team to increase the chance to inflict Weakness Break rather quickly. Silver Wolf just doesn’t care about element weaknesses and just changes them in a blink of an eye to fit her linking!

There is no reason to include as many elements as possible anymore, and playing mono-teams will be actually be the meta for her patch. Especially if you own Seele already, you have to get Silver Wolf as well! They fit each other's play style perfectly!

Silver Wolf's Appearance And Lore

With a doubt, Silver Wolf is the cutest hacker in the entire world! Her sassy personality just makes her ten times more adorable, even if she wouldn’t want to hear that …

Next to that, she is insanely talented and smart! There is no system, this clever lady can't get into, and it only needs her seconds to do so! Silver Wolf also loves to play video games and always wants to be on top!

Alongside Kafka, Silver Wolf is a member of the Stellaron Hunters. Founded and led by Elio, they are a mysterious organization that collect Stellarons. They are said to work against the Interastral Peace Corporation.

"...Blade, Silver Wolf, Sam... The fourmentioned above, dead or alive; Do not hurt the Destiny's Slave, and do not let them lose their ability of independent thinking." – Elio

You can check out Silver Wolf's trailer right here as well:

In general, Silver Wolf is a fascinating character, who plays an important role within the Honkai Star Rail universe. Even if she has a soft heart, you should not make her your enemy!

Silver Wolf's Best Team

Like mentioned earlier, Silver Wolf more or less make every team comp viable, which is a great relief to all free-to-play players, who haven’t got a huge variety of characters already.

However, there will be teams, where Silver Wolf would shine even more than normal:

To be fair, this is a quite expensive team, since it requires four 5-Star units! But if you happen to have all of them, you basically won the game.

Seele is still one of the best DPS units in the game and since Silver Wolf can change all enemies' weaknesses to Quantum, there is no way to stop this duo! Luocha will be an excellent healer and will be able to fill the tank slot within your team. Welt works wonderful with Silver Wolf as well, since he can also slow down enemies' SPD.

If you play this comp, your opponents probably won't even be able to attack once before you kill them!
