Version 1.1 of Honkai: Star Rail is finally here and with it is the new Quantum debuffer: Silver Wolf! Today we're gonna be discussing how her inclusion changes the meta, and whether or not Nihility units will become more important for late/endgame content.

@@koroxo1152 Probably pushing people to wish for her. with the cookie things you buy from her event shop you can Superimpose her light cone to max level. So they give you a good lightcone that is fully superimposed. Makes you want to pull for her as well. You have a lightcone made for her why not get her too right? I think this was what they are going for. We as gamers have a "completion complex". We dont like to have just some parts of something we want all of it. A lot of people pull for signature lightcones/weapons even tho they may not be the best for that character just because it is that characters signature lightcone/weapon. Having both completes the set. the lightcone we got wasnt her signature lightcone yes but it is still made for her so when you have it you feel tempted to pull for Silverwolf to complete the set.

@@ra6765 Actually it's better to use 1 Nihility and 1 Harmony together. Debuffs and buffs contribute to a different damage calc, making total dmg numbers even higher than 2 Harmony characters. Nihility also acts as a sub-dps, providing more damage against the enemy. Also some Main dps would benefit more from debuffs, because they get self buff stats already from their talent/skill/ultimate like Yanqing and QQ for example.
3:43 Actually you can. Silver Wolf prioritizes to give a weakness which the enemy does not have, so let's say your team has 3 elements, if 2 of them are already the weaknesses of the enemy, she will 100% give the 3rd element weakness to the enemy. If only 1 of them is the weakness, the chance of adding each of the other two is 50%, but if she unfortunately chooses the incorrect one, next turn she will definitely choose the correct one. Considering that bosses and elite mobs have 3 weaknesses, the chance of having same elements with some of the weaknesses is very high. You will only can't control if for some reasons you decide to bring a team with 4 elements against an enemy having the other 3 out of 7 elements as weaknesses.

SW is definitely one of those characters who will constantly get better the more quantum characters are in the game. I personally didn’t pull for Seele but got SW bc I know she is, like you said, future proof for other quantum units. Even without a quantum character, she is still so good. I use her in my Jing Yuan team and also my Clara team!
Some some other cc compare Silver Wolf to Kazuha, which sounds about right as with the VV artifact set he does boost the team's damage output by reducing enemy elemental RES Very tempted to get her, not just because hopefully she'll pair very well with mommy Kafka, but she seems to perfectly address one of the challenges of the game's combat system of enemies' elemental Weaknesses by turning it on its head in the way that Harmony characters like Bronya, Asta, and Tingyun do for the team.
The funny thing I experienced once I got her is that even though I knew she wasn't the smallest unit, she just got me shocked when I shifted from Jing Yuan to her.
Hey Vars, you might want to make an edit in your description or something. Her ability to give an enemy weakness isn't completely random and stacking elements doesn't increase the chances. She can't give a weakness to enemies who already naturally have it. So if you have a team where the enemy is weak to two are your units, that means she has gets a either a 50/50 or 100% chance of applying your desire element without having to go mono
She really the first character I have of the Nihility and having a unit that can debuff and add a type weakness when I don't have much variety of my units since I'm focusing on 5-6 different ones trying to make them as consistent as possible
Silver wolf's signature lightcone's effect is now changed it now gives effect hit rate, crit rate and the aether code now makes opponents take 12% increased damage for 1 turn at S1
Basically its like in Honkai Impact, people tend to focus too much on DPS characters (Seele in this case) but sorta slept on the supports. That is until they realized that supports are really freaking good in this game and are a more long lasting investment than DPS characters.

4:01 The information onscreen is wrong but you described it correctly so that's highly confusing.
You could run a team with two focused elements (e.g quantum and lightning). Like maybe Seele, silver wolf, then bailu and Jing yuan. Either way, both buffs are useful.
And one thing I noticed that if you build your team around the stuff your fighting then you can force one weakness that you prefer
Quantum Family: Seele: Bend reality with her speed and destroy the enemy Silver Wolf: Hack into enemies and destroy their shield Qingque: Haha mahjong this and that, and your skill point is destroyed
Silver Wolf's character design alone for me makes it a must pull, then again her overall abilities is a massive plus to me.
It's so funny how peoples opinions are so all over the place about SW, and how they have changed so drastically after her release. We almost went from lots of doom-posting to "Silver Wolf is a must pull". I also saw several KZreadrs talking about Nihility is always worse than Harmony, etc. Such bad takes, man. Just by the math, Silver Wolf is a beast and not nearly as niche as some people try to make her. Lastly, you do not need to run Silver Wolf in just mono teams... The elemental weakness she applies is always one that the enemy doesn't already have. This is fairly easy to manipulate.

ikr. After the first patch, I already understood that this community generally just can't TC. They do it in a literal vacuum. Which comes as a pointless blabbering. Even though, we officially knew all of the characters kits up to 1.2, except for Luka and Yukong, who weren't in CBT. And a logical assumption would be, that they work almost the same as before. Sure, different numbers, maybe the effects are changed a bit, but nothing too drastic. And as for SW, I believe she already had "smart" elemental application before, so why the default was "oh, we don't know, but surely she just doing it on random" is beyond me. "On release, she'll just become a slightly better Pela = no point in getting her. Also her debuffs are worse dmg multiplier than Ting and Bronya = she is bad" - man, it was a straight up stand-up comedy. But I guess, it's a win-win situation for hoyo and cc, as the first ones get money and second ones get views, as the general public seems to be too ignorant to view from other, more realistic perspective. Can't wait for "LUOCHA IS NOT THAT GOOD?!?!?!?!" videos flooding KZread upon his release.
You forgot to mention that SW skip applying certain weakness to enemy if it already has it. So that means that you can build your team around that and guarantee which element she will apply
Silver Wolf seems pretty good, but I'm not gonna pull for her just yet. I'm missing a lot of the 5 star characters I would need to make any decent mono-element teams and I don't expect myself to get lucky enough to pull them anytime soon. I also already have both Pela and Welt to cover my Nihility needs for now, anyways, so its not like I desperately need another one right now. When my roster is a bit more diverse later down the line, then maybe I'll consider pulling for her when she gets a rerun or something.
So glad I pulled for her. But I have no funds for Luocha now. :(
Finally I can spam my 3 electro (Jing Yuan Tingyun Bailu) team without having to worry about weakness. Silver Wolf is game-changing.
Ive always disagreed with the take that dps get powercrept in mihoyo games. Ofc in HI3rd that is 100% the case but looking at genshin the dps havent really been powercrept for over 1.5 years rather the supports have been powercrept
I am so doomed, I have E1 Welt, am building Silverwold and Pela, and plan to roll for Luka. If I get Kafka too, I am going to be forever stuck on that nihility calyx TT_TT
I saved up for 3x 10 pulls on this event. I got her and another 5* second pull! Was so happy, she has helped me breeze through higher level content. I have pulled 3 more 10 pulls, no other 5 stars since the pull. I currently have merc set and attack orb/rope. I just recently got the ability to farm yellow relics, so i gave her what i had. Even with the attack speed that i have on her right now, shes amazing.
Been adoring Gepard, Silverwolf, Pela, and Seele in a team The amount of cc and break they get together is fantastic, and makes the game feel super fun
I’d like some advice from HSR players, should I pull silverwolf? Here’s my current situation: I have enough to get NEAR guarantee (160-ish pulls as of now) on any banner, I have no plans to pull for any characters, aside from silverwolf but with hesitation since she seems like a good support and might be useful for whoever I decide to get in the future. BUT I’m slightly worried since I’ve played Hi3 and watched as AE getting replaced by HoTr, but again, maybe she will be like Senti and stay in meta long after release? I build my team around my favorite character (which doesn’t exist currently for HSR) and want the best possible team for said character.

This maybe a honkai game but its more like genshin so supports most likely do not get power creeped. So yes get her!
Apparantly the element of the weakness is not depending on how many characters of the same element you have, even if it's SW and 3 characters of the same element it will always be a 50/50, from testing, we can't still say for sure until data minders check
I was already at pity when I pulled for her, and I won the 50/50. I got Welt's light cone on the standard banner pity so that worked out.
9:08 this is the exact team I’m running! It’s amazing! :> good luck to those still pulling for SW!
I think going 4 pc Musketeer on Silver Wolf is also a good idea. Speed helps you stack more debuffs onto your enemies, especially since the one off the basic attack is random.
Playing with her, I can also say that she can shine in those long drawn battles. Mostly elites and bosses Reason: Adding weaknesses to an enemy that will take quite a lot wo break can speed things up. But here's the kicker, the weaknesses she adds can't overlap with the enemy she's hitting. An example are robots. Say you have Jing Yuan, Bailu, Seele, and Wolf on your team (like me, I'm very lucky for some reason) and hit one of those robots with her skill. It will always apply Quantum onto them since they already have electric weakness. This may or may not be viable, but it's fun going into the simulated universe and slapping Geopard and Svarog with the massive burst that is entanglement
Another impirtant tip if doibg a MOC try putting sane element with the enemy except for the element you want to put on the enemy Exp :- enemy weak to (wind and physical) you and you use seele silverwolf natasya n bronya The enemy have 100% chance to get quantun weakness because the other element is already on the ebeny.
3:44 false, she will only apply weaknesses not already present on the enemy! Making it possible to fight enemies with units they're already weak to, with your main dps element being the only type they're not already weak to, making that always be the element that lands! Making Seele the overall most flexible partner, but against base quantum weak enemies it's not her only reliable option!
just want to see the meta in the future, also in the future going back to a meta like this in 1.1
really glad i won my 50/50! i initially wanted her cos she's a bronya variant (i still don't have bronya rand...) but seeing everyone's reviews about her makes me glad she's also good in the meta :'D really love nihility characters as well they're so cool
The probability of applying weakness is dependent only on the number of elements present in your team, not how many characters per element you have. Whether you have 2 fire and 2 quantum or 3 fire and 1 quantum it´s the same 50/50 chance of applying either fire or quantum, so if you have only one element the chance is 100%, if you have 2 elements its 50/50, if you have 3 elements in the team it’s 33% and if every member of your team is a different element, each element has a 25% chance of its weakness being applied to the enemy
Oh Welt & Silver Wolf? Now that’s REALLY busted… but still a totally viable way to play the game.
Seeing how hard to build a dps unit to competitive levels, with all the reqs for traces, ascensions, and relics, SW basically becomes an enabler that allows us to focus on fewer units as possible. People say Luocha will be indispensable considering that we only have 2 healers and 1 shielder with 1 of those 2 healers and the shielder being 5star gacha, but people forget that you still have to do effective damage on enemies to get 3 stars. I believe it's much faster to just wait for a 2nd healer or a shielder than to build for a competitive dps units that can deal with every "Color" of elemental weakness that enemies would have.
at around 3:50 or so it seems from my limited time using her that the weakness she applies isnt as random as people are saying it seems she always applies weakness the enemy doesnt have so if enemy is weak to lets say ice lightning and fire if you bring sw,seele,fire MC and bailu she will 100% only ever apply quantum so you can build around targets for boss fights
I was on the fence about whether or not to pull for her or save up for the next banner but I think this video has definitively convinced me to try for her
I mean 160=warp, thats how i got Seele, e1 Jing yuan and a couple random off banner 5 stars.
I'm hoping to get her silver wolf's character because I think she'll be cool for the game in the long run, but I didn't get her character today but I did get a character that I did want prior Bronya and I'm hoping that even if I don't get a chance to get silver wolf in her banner, I'm hoping she's a five-star character that will be added on to other characters banners so that way I could still get her
Since I got Welt from departure banner, I try to build SW + Welt core as a team without any main DPS. And yes, it's a rainbow team (not mono/duo type). I feel the result is surprisingly solid. The only downside is that there is no Abundance in Imaginary/Quantum right now... getting Nat's phy weakness kinda meh, unless, you also have Clara.
her E is random but controllable random bcz it priotize type that target doesnt have first, you know MoC boss weakness so you can run a team that has 50%->100% inflicting the type you need, thus x2 or x3 shield dmg, making non viable team into viable is quite good
I got her in 7 pulls when I first started playing, Qingque and both bronyas carried me to TL30 with ease
SW enhance ur ATK scaling crit DPS equal amount of Pela debuff and Tingyun buff together together but on a ST. While it is good for sure as it makes you to bring another buffer of debuffer in your team to add some extra dmg, I feel like it's absolutely not necessary. Also her skill is pure gacha if not mono quantum which sucks
The first star rail video of yours I’ve seen, cool! I enjoy your Genshin content I bet you’ll have a lot to add. Thanks!
I think Nihility is my favorite path ngl
I have an Accelerate-Decelerate Team with Welt-Asta-SW with Nat as the healer. It’s stupid cause I did W5-2 with Kafka’s 1st phase not doing any action cause she was constantly being pushed back by Welt’s Imprisonment and the entire being accelerated by Asta and her Lightcone.
Speaking of Nonplayable Paths,Why Do we already have Destruction but not other fusion/general paths that combine Preseveration and Abundance or Nihility and Harmony??😭

I don't she's that good. I didn't have a good time playing with her in the trials. Enemies often resist her and this weakness change is too random. It either will not change, or it would change to an unwanted element
For the skill weakness things it's simple. She can't give a weaknessthat the enemy already has and the numbers of same elements doesn't matter just the number of elements in the team so 2 =50/50, 3=33/33/33, 4=25/25/25/25 . So she can't give quantum if the enemy is weak to it already (naturally not with her skill) . So if a boss is weak too quantum and you have her in an wind team she will always give wind weakness.

She feels closer to Qingque considering her irregular usage of points. I still think she's useful, but definitely harder to build teams around without a huge roster
In the hall of memory, i really have to be patient because my dps didn't have the same weakness, but with silverwolf, i can clear bosses faster because she actually give the weakness to match my dps, so she actually gives big impact to my team
i got her super early at 20 pity, so that was great. I honestly just love her character and i'm f2p on honkai (after having horrible luck on genshin and spending tons of money), i'm also not super set on any of the upcoming 5 stars (except for the leaked white hair girl whos name i forgot). Sadly i was late to star rail so i wasn't able to get seele, but i hope later on i'll get her or someone better.
Hi vars since you cover honkai Star Rail, can you cover honkai impact meta too? A more casual experience view is needed for it
Sliver Wolf basically makes any character you want work no matter the situation, so pretty much if you have high effect hitrate and build your team right based around the enemies element weakness, you pretty much have anything will work and the enemy will have tons of debuffs and pretty much be unless the whole fight, and if the enemy has ice weakness and you have ice and quantum characters the enemy can ONLY get quantum you can’t give the enemy the base weakness they already have so you can control and rig the RNG in your favor, and if you get High effect rate like 85%-90%+ she will always apply weakness and debuffs to the enemy.

@@Ilikegames804 That’s what I did my body piece is Effect Hit Rate and I have the 4 star light cone maxed and always hit my debuffs.
For her skill alone i think the best use of it is by divided it to 2 enemies categories, enemies that weak to quantum or enemies that doesnt weak to quantum. 1. If enemies weak to quantum, use Dps that enemies doesnt weak to + adding 2 team with element match enemies so 100% will implant to our dps element. 2. Non quantum weak enemies, bringing Quantum dps is best so we force quantum weak 100% Ofc we can still use outside these scenario but in my opinion this is the better so we dont gamble on 50/50 or 33/33/33.
Vars u forgot a important detail if the enemy already have a weakness she qont apply it so u don't need to go mono if u arw fighting a enemy weak to wind and electro u can use a team like seele silver wolf brony and bailu and it will givw quantum 100% of the time
Im not sure I agree. As long as there isnt speed criteria on the fight, I find Welt way more effective. ER and Effect Hit, if needed pair him with Tingyan and you can more often than not Perma lock the whole enemy line up, works shockingly well even in mini and semi bosses. It goes alot faster with Silverwolf but its WAAAAY easier with Welt. At least in my experience
wait till kafka releases so the meta for hihility chars changes again. dont forget theres a physical nihilist char coming to 1.3 i think
Lost to gepard, yay
I was lucky enough to get her two constelations, so I wonder if I still need eer on rope, and if not with what I can replace it, I just started but for now even tho she is lvl 60 and don't have rope, she have her ult very quickly
wait for Luocha or pull for her? I don't have another healer or an imaginary in my teams.
How many floor on MoC have quantum weakness? If not that many then i think she is not a must pull for now
I decided to go for Silver Wolf last minute admittedly, not because I didn’t like her no I think she’s great, but more so because I was trying for Jing Yuan but when I didn’t get him I realised I was on high pity with guaranteed and her banner had Dan Heng on it whos one of my mains so I decided to go for her plus try to get some Eidolons for my boy while I was at it, and oh boy I do not regret that decision in the slightest, she is awesome
interesting how musketeer's 4 pc wasn't recommended
yeah nihility is either based on DoT or debuffs, and I think kafka will make DoT builds insane bc she can proc all DoT on enemies with her skill
When we have healers from all elements, her potential will shine the most. Because then we wont be frustrated when she applies the healer's element onto the enemy, as we would have already selected a healer whose element was already present on the enemy...
as a f2p player who only has yanqing i pulled for her, and i don't regret anything. my team is now Natasha, tingyun, Yanqing, and Silver wolf and just investing everything in him right now she just ensures i have nothing to fear. i was using Pela for a while but she just isn't useful enough in enough scenarios so i was just turtling with Fire MC. Now i fear no Cocolia, Svarog, or ice enemies, they fear me. Sometimes her debuff skill hits quantum instead of ice, but Quantum breaking a boss and generally lowing their res is still good enough. in the future a more specific team may be better, been thinking of getting March 7th up there but don't know if that's worth losing a healer.
Another important thing to point out for mono teams, let's take fire and say the enemy has neither fire nor quantum weakness, you would think that that makes you have a 75% chance of proccing fire, but no it's 50/50, it corresponds to the amount of different elements in your team, NOT how many character is said element
got her in 30 summons and still have freemium currency at 7700 jades and you bet im going hard for luocha for a amazing 5 star healer who's also imaginary.
I have decided to throw every pull I can get towards SW. If I get her, nice. If I don't well I will be sad but Kafka is also kinda around the corner so I will get one waifu regardless.
How did you have luocha 😅 I know for sure that wasn't CBT gameplay
She completely opens up viability for characters that would normally wouldn't be reccomend against certain enemies. Solely because she's able to apply weaknesses they can exploit. Fun fact, if her skill applies quantum as a weakness, that attack counts as damaging the weakness bar.
She hacked directly into my heart bro
hi hello theory crafter here few things 3:47 here 1. going multiple same element doesn't change the consistency so if u have 3 fire / 1 quantum it's still 50/50 which means only team she be consistently putting 1 element is mon quantum 2. u can get around this by playing around enemy weakness cus silver wolf won't apply a weakness enemy already naturally have u can use a teammate that fits the element and force the last element E.G enemy weakness : fire , quantum and physical now ur main dps is dan heng dan , wolf , natasha , asta now since enemy already is weak to said element only element weakness wolf will apply is wind this is even greater when facing enemy who isn't quantum weak and u having seele or a qq main as u can shift around ur party so wolf will always apply quantum sorry if this is too long i just wanted to point out that wolf is much stronger then people think she is

btw, i saw the theory crafter and so, naturally, i felt like asking, i apologize in advance if this is a bother for you. i am currently very undecisive about one thing, i was thinking of going for both Silver Wolf and Kafka, but idk if they actually pair too well, not only that, i have 60 pity, a guaranteed, and about 7k jades with 7 tickets on the ready, i believe i can get both, but if i fail the 50/50 on Kafka, i'll be very disappointed (considering she's my most desired character in all of honkai, like, i love her A TOOOOON, and i love dot teams) on the other hand, i was thinking about going for Kafka's E1, which from what i've seen, is a game changer for Kafka, and so i was wondering, in this situation, would you pull for SW and try to go for Kafka, skip SW to get Kafka and wait for another unit, or go all in on Kafka?

@@kynriayurei to answer the first question , no kafka is played in a DoT where it's bunch of sub dps collectively build up their dmg where wolf is mainly use for more hypercarry centric where u would want to ensure u applying the right weakness that said both of them can still work together if u doing mono electro as for my second question i would say go for wolf and kafka cus more char = more fun [well for me at least] but keep in mind is just my suggestion if u really afraid of not getting kafka it is also fine to wait for u but as rn if u going to pull on the banner I'll say have the best of luck :pepeprayge:

Damm, all these content creators goin off already day 1 of silver wolf.
any whale who gets Bronie's Eidolons basically turns her into a hyper carry
Kinda of unrelated but since I lost 50/50 on SW banner, should I roll again next banner for Yukong and potentially Luocha, or wait for Blade/ Kafka? I am really hesitating on Luocha since I have bailu already, and I am afraid Kafka might be irrelevant if I don't have SW
People don't understand that getting a 5* unit is not that easy and is in fact quite the expensive endeavour, there's also the fact that not all the 5* are good dps or carries. Silver Wolf aliviates the issue of not having a carry for every single element by allowing you to take what you do have into any content and making it work. Sure she is a great debuffer but the fact that she enables any comp regardless how you luck with pulls is shouldn't be taken for granted.
To anyone that just watched this vid, Silverwolfs elemental weaness aplication is more nuanced than what is stated in the vid. We can actually control to a good amount of degree what elemental weakness we apply yo enemies. Its too long to type the whole mechanic here. But maybe somebody else in te comments section explained it.
Question: Does silver wolf play minecraft? Like if you look at her arm cannon it does have a minecraft sword ._.
I almost hit hard pity trying to get her. and my 50/50 was guaranteed so I already lost it once. Now I just hope I can have better luck with Kafka
I really wish I had started playing the game more often and more seriously when Seele was around so I could get her but unfortunately she’s not around anymore. I might start getting into Honkai Star Rail and go for Silver Wolf. I’m still at the very start of the game but I definitely want to give the game more of a shot plus not be too lazy and start playing for real.

Silver wolf is going to enable alot more "solo" element teams. Making a target weak to an element is a BIG deal in this game. Going Yanching, Pela, and Geopard sounds great on paper, but your element coverage is terrible. However, that team + silver wolf forcing ice weakness and the double defense down will make all damage insane.
Definitely trying to get her. Unfortunately Jing Yuan spooked me on his own banner (I was actually trying to pull for Tingyun - thankfully I got her in the same 10-pull as Jojo) so I had no pity and no guarantee going into Silver's banner. 30 pulls and no 5 stars yet, fingers crossed it doesn't take me much more (and that I don't lose the 50/50).
