Doing SW pulls tomorrow on twitch and experimenting! twitch.tv/braxophone People are misunderstanding her skill: it checks enemy weakness that they already have, so if an enemy is weak to quantum already, she won't apply quantum. But if SHE applied quantum, she can technically apply quantum again, since the enemy wasn't initially weak to it. To explain the soup analogy bc apparently it was bad: If you add an enemy weakness to them, it does not reduce their resistance. That's why silver wolf reduces enemy resistance by 20%; to put that resistance stat in line with other weaknesses the enemy has Boss max eff res got tuned down so I had to panic and edit a few things for this video literally with an hour to spare, sorry this isnt my new style I outsourced this one to an editor on late notice so we had less time to put together crazy edits.
So my only question boils down to this, if the enemy already has a bug of a certain type, can that one bug be re applied over and over or is it this, they have 1 bug and the next one is of the other 2 and the next one is the last you don't have and it refreshes after that?
wait is that how it works? I seen the livestreams so far and some of them have difficulty proccing the correct enemy weakness they want in the trial. So it seems that SW only takes into account natural elemental weaknesses of enemies. If you give the wrong element via SW skill like Quantum through SW, it will still RNG among all of your elements including Quantum again on next skill use even if the debuff is still active.
@@jamesfzy I kept telling people she'd be niche. Also her defense debuff is too narrow, doesn't shred enough and is not particularly impactful in my mind. I'm not a thory crafter, I've just played a lot of turn based games. I suspect Luocha will be more important in the future. Silver Wolf doesn't feel future proof, Luocha does.
I really liked how you added the extra at the end for eidolons. Please continue to do so, I ended up pulling e1 and I noticed I no longer would need an ER rope. So I’m glad you were able to pick up on this info and provide the chart. Also picked up Yoimiya C3 today so we living good!!!
Silver Wolf, Seele, Tingyun, Bailu is the squad I'm running right now and it feels pretty good so far especially since Tingyun and Silver like using normal attacks which save skill usage for Seele and Bailu, and the Quantum debuff Silver Wolf pulls are really nice for Seele and adding the Lightning debuff also gives Tingyun and Bailu better usage outside their skills and ults
wish i got Bailu 😥 ( i'm fine with Yanqing, but Himeko........ And especially even though I don't have you Welt, why did I get your Lightcone instead!!)
Yeah same, used them agains Svarog and since he has Lightning weakness by default it was a breeze, I was doubting whether to pull her but goddamn it was worth it
I'm usually just a lurker on these videos but I just wanted to say how much I enjoy these guides. They're super informative and your sense of humor always gives me a little chuckle 😊 keep on keeping on~
@@randallmart92 I grabbed my stellar jades from sim universe event plus the maintenance jades and I’m back up to 80 after I claim the daily log ins. I’m pulling on the next banner until I get a 5 star if I lose I’m saving the rest for Kafka and if I win I should have another 150 warps before the end of Kafkas banner
I think it's important to see what the enemy weaknesses are so you can have an easier time building. Let's assume the enemy is weak to Wind Quantum and Lightning. Bronya can be on the first slot, SW at Second, Tingyun or Bailu at third then the fourth slot can be really anyone because the enemy is already covered in those weaknesses. You can run Sushang or Hook or anyone really
YES! Seeing her immediately made me think of building a Welt team. The 4* LC Good Night Sleep Well is perfect for Welt and SW combo. Luocha and Yukong with SW will make for an interesting combo too! Definitely pulling for her with my Welt account.
I got Welt in 20 pulls in SW banner in random pulls, and now I'm guaranteed for the next banners. Do you have LC and relic recommendation for him? I want to use him but don't know who should I pair him with.
@@kotominekirei7330 Who do you have for support? For LC, his one is good for DPS, but the one I mentioned in my post is really good too, especially if you have Silverwolf or Pela. It even works with DOTs so using Sampo or Serval can make Welt stronger. Relics- if you want him to be the main dps, Crit Rate body, spd boots or atk boots. You want some Effect Hit rate in your gear too. Obviously go with the Imaginary relic set and get a Imaginary dmg boost planar. For the Planar you want the Pan-Galactic set for the effect hit rate boost. Essentially like this: Crit rate> Crit Dmg > Effect Hit >Atk% Welt can fit into almost any team, so it's just up to what you want to do with him! His slowing and imprisoning is so nice.
@@handlerone5172 Support? I have Pela, Asta, Tingyun. The trinity of early game players 😂 I don't know what to do with him since I'm still early game. Help.
I’m not pulling for Silver Wolf(Blade has my whole heart), but I love the guides so I’m gonna watch. Thanks so much for the awesome content, Brax! Been following you since your Genshin guides.
That Sushang team is something i was actually thinking about before but i wasnt sure if it would actually work all too well. Good to see im not the only one that thought of it lol
6:25 Hey, thanks man, I just turned in my thesis yesterday, but it's looking good! I really worked hard on my degree over the last few years. I'm surprised you know about it, since I didn't tell you, but cool!
Ngl the biggest advantage is the fact that she cant plant a weakness if the enemy has a base weakness to that element. So if you have quantum and fire on your team, and the enemy has a base weakness to fire, you guarantee planting quantum
At 5:55 when he says "ultimately" right when Silver Wolf uses her Ultimate. From the triple 5's to the complementary phrasing, there are so many perfections in this single instance of the video. ahhhhhhhh
Love that you're talking about mono physical and electric. Got my Clara while fishing for SW and I couldn't be happier. Got her light cone on like my first couple days of playing so I knew she'd be coming home. Clara and Natasha make such a good core. Even without SW, Tingyuan (hehe) and Clara/Natasha look like a great combo. Also glad that you touched on her pairing with weakness breaking proficient characters like Asta. The best thing about her for people like me that didn't pull on Seele is that we get the ability to use our other elemental carrys to break quantum weakness. That's where mono shines. Using SW requires a good bit of planning to get consistency, but her payoff is wonderful. Also... Don't you think there's some value to stacking a lot of energy regen on her? With her event lightcone, energy chain and E1, she would get her ult back very fast. I'd like to see some analysis on this as spamming her ult would be amazing not only for damage, but for breaking as the sole quantum unit on a mono team.
Must. Save. For. Kafka. I can’t fall for that extremely satisfying Sushang team because she’s my favorite dps. Too bad I don’t have Clara tho. I will probably end up replacing Clara with Gepard, but now I have to consider the Phys/Quantum/Ice spread
@@r1tsukA both in the team, Natasha and silver wolf. She makes Sushang to be able to break enemy faster, Sushang is a good breaker but half of her damaging kit is useless if you can't break your enemy. Clara is mostly the "tank" and sub dps. Destruction class has naturally more aggro compared to most class(except for preservation), so she'll still decently tank attacks even without March 7th(I use defensive relics tho).
i just started playing Star rail, since im in rest mode with MMORPGs and i instantly wanted silver wolf. I managed to get her E1 with her featured weapon. I also got a solid Ice team set up. The way she allows teams to gel is absurd! Pela is super strong, and stacking debuffs just makes the enemy scream. I love everything about this char :D im having a great time Nice video
thanks for the detailed guide, brax! here i am scrambling for guides as she came home unexpectedly at 8 pity (i was trying to bring my pity count exactly at 10 so that i can easily track my pulls for luocha). hope i'd get this luck when pulling for luocha, too!
thank you, at 27:09 you made me feels way better because i accidentally get e1 silverwolf while pulling for dang heng, but still im no longer going to get luocha any time soon😔
The weakness addition and def reduction is very good. I had been annoyed in times where enemies summon mobs or SU has mobs that doesn't have the weakness of you team...
Even if you don't apply the right weakness and end up applying quantum instead, she'll apply the weakness first then attacks with her skill. She'll deal massive toughness damage with her ult regardless of the enemy element, and still surprisingly useful even in the worst scenario. Because of this, i think she's super good with Sushang, and you can already make a full physical team(+SW), even better if you have Clara imo. Edit; Also, enemies effect res debuff totally reminds me of EM buff on certain reactions back in the day in Genshin.
I can confirm that seeing a crap ton of words for a single skill or talent immediately makes me zone out and just skim through it to try and get a good idea
It's really tempting but I already made my goal to set up my mono quantum team and as a baby whale and if I ever have a chance on a rerun, I'll pull for Eidolons with no hesitation. She already came home for me and I couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the guide too!
me too,though i couldn't care less abt her eidolons. kinda dumb to try and fail getting fu xuan in the future lol. i just hope lynx wont be in blade's banner or whatever...but everything is expected cause its Hoyo
Oh my-- GOSH, i just realized this video is like half an hour long, i didnt even notice that at first lol. that's gotta be SO much information and i am an absolute nerd so we take those
Re the teambuilding section: man i love yanqing and obv i have march 7th too but imagine having a third ice or second quantum character to throw in there to make sure i get the right weaknesses 😔 [super subtly nudges ego puppet and gacha tiles enjoyer off to the side] Maybe i should build qingque, at least enough to not COMPLETELY be dead weight if i wanna run a sw team for an element i only have 2 of...? _would_ that even be worth it...? Man, idk. Could also just wait until i have more characters lol, im just impatient
I know I’m a bit late but I will say, for me I think the best planar set is the energy regen one as it gives you action forward upon starting combat which is very important for her to start her skill before anyone else attacks. And more energy regen on her is always a plus
Thanks for the explanation, this makes me wanna pull for Loucha more.. I'll get her on future banner rerun for sure.. Right now as an F2P, I don't have enough resources to go around..
I'm currently running Silver Wolf with Seele, Asta and Bailu. Bailu's healing is still busted, Asta still provides so much buff value, and Seele is the main DPS carry. Granted, for a lot of fights I swap out Asta for Bronya, but both have their clear uses. Enemies who don't usually debuff I just use Asta since she can break guard much faster AND buff everyone while she does it. That all said, another great guide video as always - thanks to your previous HSR build guides and Genshin build guides, it's helped me build a firm foundation for each character since, especially with the game being new, your videos provide clear and thorough reasoning for each type of stat allotment
I think Brax the new best-in-slot planar set for Silverwolf is the Spritely Vonwacq. The set bonus is already enough to cover SW's small energy need for her burst. This is assuming that she is using the Before Tutorial lightcone. If the rotation is burst>Skill>NA>NA then you would always have a permanent uptime on her burst in a 3 rotation. While the Pan-Galactic set gives her a 25% attack increase, it's still lesser than having an Attack% link rope which gives more than 40% I believe. And many players are likely using ERR link rope on her to cover the lacking energy needs which could be lower in terms of damage output. The 10% Effect Hit Rate on the Pan-Galactic set is also not that needed now that the effect resistance of enemies has been lowered and it's a lot easier to achieve her desired EHR now with her traces + Before Tutorial LC and EHR body piece.
Frankly, the only thing I wanted to know to decide whether I pull or not for her is if she would apply a weakness that the enemy already has. Thankfully, 21:46 . Now I can finally bring Seele and Welt and have them both hit weakness on the same character. Seriously, been playing with the 2 in the same team a while, and I think I haven't fought an enemy that is weak to both Imaginary and Quantum so far.
I got her to E1 S1 as a f2p player (aside from bp cause I wanted those nihility resources), which was really nice. She is my favourite character by far currently. I am attempting to get E2 now, though I dont know if I will be able to or not, but one can only hope
Actually, I pulled for her and got her, don't even realize how flexible she is. I just wanted to build a mono-quant team in the future. But now I will experiment with different team compositions. Weakness check is awesome. Choosing characters for team against a particular enemy will definitely be more interesting now
It's really good for the memory world when you need to have 2 team. You can streamroll in your strongest team, and use sw in your sub team (in my case, I team her with lower than suggested QingQue with basic low+ build) 🤭🤭🤭
Best Quickest Guide and Random Infos Bout Silver Wolf, Appreciate it Man. Was Curious if Zombie Network is Permanent and Affects Everyone, Including Bosses Since They "Technically" Don't enter the fight but I guess they do.
Running a sub dps welt, dps seele, healer natasha and support silver worf. Still not to sure about this line up but so far this line up has help me clear every FH and US
got her in 30 summons really happy because i honestly want luocha as well and i still hjave nearlly 5500 jades and can build much more with the activities and what when his banner drops late June, and if i somehow dont get him or a 5 star then that pity will just build towards kafka.
I'm really glad they made SW AI smart. Checking the initial weakness before applying, that's very good and huge for me despite the nerfs she got. I once said on reddit that "they won't make the same mistake of creating another kazuha", guess I'm wrong. Plus the free LC from event, I wonder how they are gonna top this event on future events. I'm not regretting pulling for her the day her banner went live, gonna pull for her until her banner is over, I hope I get her to E2. (pulled for her LC because why not, I loved her since the CBT).
@@tigerlily5236 it is for most units, they target the lowest HP first. I think it checks from lowest HP value, then lowest HP percentage. If the target enemy has 20% or lower hp, units mostly use basic attack instead of skills except if you have too many spare skill points.
I've been trying really hard to save all of my warps for Loucha but SW looks so cool and like she'll be useful throughout the game's lifespan as a debuff unit. Unless there's some absurd powercreep all of SW skills look incredibly useful for higher level/difficulty content. Looks like she's just a significantly better Pela, trading off multi enemy debuffs for better damage and single target debuffs
There's some idea i think about her First is to build break effect. She's a speedy unit so she can stack that dot debuff and it deals huge damage. Not to mention that it can work in any situation because she can insert quantum weakness Second is to run her with himeko. If she can insert element weakness means there's huge chance to easily break and trigger himeko talent
The hard part of manipulating weakness for her is u need lot of characters built, which cant be achieved by most playerbase atm. So her main best immediate use is if u run mono, either ice lightning or in few months, quantum where she gonna be the best, as her skill will be 100% consistent, whatever ur enemies element is. She is kind of characters that is better to pull on her reurn later, when u have lot more charactwrs to be able to utlize her consistently
Hey Brax. Love the video. Dont mean to uhh dampen on your great content tho but. The icons for Ult and Skill are mixed. The icon for Ult is where it says skill, and for skill its where it says ult.
Got her from winning the 50/50, Lost the 75/25 for my second Clara LC, planning to get Blade so no problem there. But gladly the LC came from a hard RNG roll on 2nd round on the 18th roll after that. She has surprisingly strong damage output for a debuffer, it's a thing that shouldn't be overlooked! I also got some goodies while rolling for SW, like managed to get Serval to E3 with her LC at Superimpose 5, she literally nukes back to back every turn as she gains the ult charge right away, the 64% Ultimate is no joke when farming robots. While not something I initially wanted now it make me breeze when farming for drops. Also got that Break LC to 4 which gives 49% break (raising her break to 212%!), I equipped it on Asta and I literally beaten Rank 4 Cocolia with a Lv 62 party before she could even do her final attack more than the one time that is unavoidable, she got her toughness broken twice with a Stelle, Hook, Asta and Bailu party. The Stunlock provided with Asta's fast charging Ult and insane break effect really can stunlock cocolia's phase 2 to death while underleveled. I do think with this build is really nice to get silver wolf so i can use her, she's been more reliable than tingyun when i want a better fit overall double support team with SW, Stelle (Preservation) and Seele, when i have the typical issue boss likes to hit Tingyun more than necessary and her low survaibility without a healer is being a liability on some fights. Overall I do think it's a great gacha.
I suspect a mono-quantum team being viable in the near future For as lynx (or thats her name) is leaked as a 4 star quantum healer And then there's fu xuan (pink small co worker of jingyuan) being leaked now and then as a 5 star preservation character Like what are the odds
What's kind of cool is that if you win 50/50 on Seele, skip JY, win 50/50 on Silver Wolf, skip all of 1.2, you are guaranteed a Fu Xuan with the amount of pulls estimated between SW's and Fu's banners.
@@yunexxe same bro, all the quantum girls are so lovable, especially the short ones 😂 Qingque for example is so relatable gacha addict girl made me like her very much. I think I will pull for kafka and after that just for quantum girls like Fu Xuan and Lynx
I lost my 50/50 to Gepard and got him E1, but still got Sliver Wolf and she has been performing incredible well and with only her 4 star lightcone and on shirt gear she has 99.7% effect hitrate and honestly even if she didn’t perform well I still use her cause I’m loving her gameplay! Good luck to everyone who plans to pull for her and I hope you all win your 50/50s.
when i found out that silverwolf was coming and that she's a GREAT debuffer i actually got happy on loosing the 50/50 in jing yuan's banner and getting it to guaranteed, i can literally do like 5 pulls and i get her

Because of this, i think she's super good with Sushang, and you can already make a full physical team(+SW), even better if you have Clara imo.
Edit; Also, enemies effect res debuff totally reminds me of EM buff on certain reactions back in the day in Genshin.
I can confirm that seeing a crap ton of words for a single skill or talent immediately makes me zone out and just skim through it to try and get a good idea
It's really tempting but I already made my goal to set up my mono quantum team and as a baby whale and if I ever have a chance on a rerun, I'll pull for Eidolons with no hesitation. She already came home for me and I couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the guide too!
me too,though i couldn't care less abt her eidolons. kinda dumb to try and fail getting fu xuan in the future lol. i just hope lynx wont be in blade's banner or whatever...but everything is expected cause its Hoyo
I love how you edit these videos keep it up :)
Will definitely be rechecking this video for that update on your E4 findings.
Oh my-- GOSH, i just realized this video is like half an hour long, i didnt even notice that at first lol. that's gotta be SO much information and i am an absolute nerd so we take those
Re the teambuilding section: man i love yanqing and obv i have march 7th too but imagine having a third ice or second quantum character to throw in there to make sure i get the right weaknesses 😔 [super subtly nudges ego puppet and gacha tiles enjoyer off to the side]
Maybe i should build qingque, at least enough to not COMPLETELY be dead weight if i wanna run a sw team for an element i only have 2 of...? _would_ that even be worth it...? Man, idk. Could also just wait until i have more characters lol, im just impatient
Chill Kronii's BGM and hilarious guide line
100/10
I though I was unlucky since I got her on the 80th guaranteed pull but then after a single pull, Himeko came home. My guarantee is still alive!
Himeko came for me too 😅 Let's get our Kafkas home 🏡
I know I’m a bit late but I will say, for me I think the best planar set is the energy regen one as it gives you action forward upon starting combat which is very important for her to start her skill before anyone else attacks. And more energy regen on her is always a plus
Thanks for the explanation, this makes me wanna pull for Loucha more.. I'll get her on future banner rerun for sure.. Right now as an F2P, I don't have enough resources to go around..
I'm currently running Silver Wolf with Seele, Asta and Bailu.
Bailu's healing is still busted, Asta still provides so much buff value, and Seele is the main DPS carry. Granted, for a lot of fights I swap out Asta for Bronya, but both have their clear uses. Enemies who don't usually debuff I just use Asta since she can break guard much faster AND buff everyone while she does it.
That all said, another great guide video as always - thanks to your previous HSR build guides and Genshin build guides, it's helped me build a firm foundation for each character since, especially with the game being new, your videos provide clear and thorough reasoning for each type of stat allotment
Thanks for the upload just got her
i tried to pull Silver Wolf on my channel and Cried... your pulls were nuts
Great guide! Congrats
I think Brax the new best-in-slot planar set for Silverwolf is the Spritely Vonwacq. The set bonus is already enough to cover SW's small energy need for her burst. This is assuming that she is using the Before Tutorial lightcone.
If the rotation is burst>Skill>NA>NA then you would always have a permanent uptime on her burst in a 3 rotation.
While the Pan-Galactic set gives her a 25% attack increase, it's still lesser than having an Attack% link rope which gives more than 40% I believe. And many players are likely using ERR link rope on her to cover the lacking energy needs which could be lower in terms of damage output.
The 10% Effect Hit Rate on the Pan-Galactic set is also not that needed now that the effect resistance of enemies has been lowered and it's a lot easier to achieve her desired EHR now with her traces + Before Tutorial LC and EHR body piece.
Frankly, the only thing I wanted to know to decide whether I pull or not for her is if she would apply a weakness that the enemy already has.
Thankfully, 21:46 . Now I can finally bring Seele and Welt and have them both hit weakness on the same character.
Seriously, been playing with the 2 in the same team a while, and I think I haven't fought an enemy that is weak to both Imaginary and Quantum so far.
I barely had enough for her. Got E6 Serval too, which is wow.
what does E6 stand for?
@@junokieidolon 6 (character copies)
@@Nthsst ahh thank you!
E6 Serval is a mini Jing. 😂
Save for Kafka now and you got a busted DOT Team
Damn I actually got her in one 10 pull. This is actually the first time the gacha gods blessed me in any gacha.
Oh god the soup analogy just gave me Genshin PTSD. We are about to start naming all the team comps after food again.
So thats why my tidepod soup didnt taste good... You earned my sub I look forward to future cooking tips in my honkai Star Rail videos! ❤
One thing to note about the e2 is it gets cleansed on subsequent hp gauges if the boss has more than 1
Nice guide it was helping alot also I got silverwolf after 20 pull
Nihility run in simular univers gonna be a nightmare for ennemies with her (sorry for my approximate English I’m French)
Also I love ur video!❤
I got her to E1 S1 as a f2p player (aside from bp cause I wanted those nihility resources), which was really nice. She is my favourite character by far currently.
I am attempting to get E2 now, though I dont know if I will be able to or not, but one can only hope
well you're not f2p if u purchased BP.. there's not im f2p aside from buying this...dont be cringe just for a lame label
@@johnd7760 Ok..? Didnt realize it mattered that much. Sorry to offend you with my choice of wording
@@samurrai4320 dont worry about it. i also just bought the bp but consider myself f2p since it's not that big of an amount lol
Actually, I pulled for her and got her, don't even realize how flexible she is. I just wanted to build a mono-quant team in the future. But now I will experiment with different team compositions. Weakness check is awesome. Choosing characters for team against a particular enemy will definitely be more interesting now
It's really good for the memory world when you need to have 2 team. You can streamroll in your strongest team, and use sw in your sub team (in my case, I team her with lower than suggested QingQue with basic low+ build) 🤭🤭🤭
I m so happy. I pulled Bronya on first 80 pulls _(I looked for her)_ then in my first next 10 pulls, get silver Wolf. ❤
Best Quickest Guide and Random Infos Bout Silver Wolf, Appreciate it Man. Was Curious if Zombie Network is Permanent and Affects Everyone, Including Bosses Since They "Technically" Don't enter the fight but I guess they do.
I was following everything until the tide pod soup analogy. lol Brax why were you thinking about that.
My luck has been insane! Got her on my second 10 pull and now I can save up for Kafka 😊
Running a sub dps welt, dps seele, healer natasha and support silver worf. Still not to sure about this line up but so far this line up has help me clear every FH and US
Thank you for this instructional recipe for Tide Pod soup 🙏
I'm tired of so many channels using your thumbnail style. Now I have to make sure it's you 😂😂😂
hi brax, just wanna point out at 15:08, frozen enemies can still have their turns, they just can't take action, so the debuff counter will still tick
Good point,idk why made that mistake lol. That's why i like Grimro, he at least kniows the basics
thanks for the extensive wicked gaming video
got her in 30 summons really happy because i honestly want luocha as well and i still hjave nearlly 5500 jades and can build much more with the activities and what when his banner drops late June, and if i somehow dont get him or a 5 star then that pity will just build towards kafka.
Thx for awesome vid
Nice video and bg music choice. Gives me the chill time vibes 🕜
returning to the game, couldn't play because I was busy, I have guaranteed Silver Wolf, thanks for the great guide!
I pulled her finally after like 170 pulls with mere days remaining. Worth it considering I just started playing a few days after she was released 😂
For some reason, the tide pod soup explanation was even more confusing.
I'm really glad they made SW AI smart. Checking the initial weakness before applying, that's very good and huge for me despite the nerfs she got. I once said on reddit that "they won't make the same mistake of creating another kazuha", guess I'm wrong. Plus the free LC from event, I wonder how they are gonna top this event on future events. I'm not regretting pulling for her the day her banner went live, gonna pull for her until her banner is over, I hope I get her to E2. (pulled for her LC because why not, I loved her since the CBT).
She still prefers to target the mobs than the boss though... Idk abkut her ults I don't have ult on when autos
@@tigerlily5236 it is for most units, they target the lowest HP first.
I think it checks from lowest HP value, then lowest HP percentage.
If the target enemy has 20% or lower hp, units mostly use basic attack instead of skills except if you have too many spare skill points.
I've been trying really hard to save all of my warps for Loucha but SW looks so cool and like she'll be useful throughout the game's lifespan as a debuff unit. Unless there's some absurd powercreep all of SW skills look incredibly useful for higher level/difficulty content.
Looks like she's just a significantly better Pela, trading off multi enemy debuffs for better damage and single target debuffs
There's some idea i think about her
First is to build break effect. She's a speedy unit so she can stack that dot debuff and it deals huge damage. Not to mention that it can work in any situation because she can insert quantum weakness
Second is to run her with himeko. If she can insert element weakness means there's huge chance to easily break and trigger himeko talent
The hard part of manipulating weakness for her is u need lot of characters built, which cant be achieved by most playerbase atm.
So her main best immediate use is if u run mono, either ice lightning or in few months, quantum where she gonna be the best, as her skill will be 100% consistent, whatever ur enemies element is.
She is kind of characters that is better to pull on her reurn later, when u have lot more charactwrs to be able to utlize her consistently
Hey Brax. Love the video.
Dont mean to uhh dampen on your great content tho but. The icons for Ult and Skill are mixed.
The icon for Ult is where it says skill, and for skill its where it says ult.
I was scratching my head when I saw the run-time for the video is 30 min...and then I reached the soup metaphor.
Got her from winning the 50/50, Lost the 75/25 for my second Clara LC, planning to get Blade so no problem there. But gladly the LC came from a hard RNG roll on 2nd round on the 18th roll after that. She has surprisingly strong damage output for a debuffer, it's a thing that shouldn't be overlooked!
I also got some goodies while rolling for SW, like managed to get Serval to E3 with her LC at Superimpose 5, she literally nukes back to back every turn as she gains the ult charge right away, the 64% Ultimate is no joke when farming robots. While not something I initially wanted now it make me breeze when farming for drops.
Also got that Break LC to 4 which gives 49% break (raising her break to 212%!), I equipped it on Asta and I literally beaten Rank 4 Cocolia with a Lv 62 party before she could even do her final attack more than the one time that is unavoidable, she got her toughness broken twice with a Stelle, Hook, Asta and Bailu party. The Stunlock provided with Asta's fast charging Ult and insane break effect really can stunlock cocolia's phase 2 to death while underleveled. I do think with this build is really nice to get silver wolf so i can use her, she's been more reliable than tingyun when i want a better fit overall double support team with SW, Stelle (Preservation) and Seele, when i have the typical issue boss likes to hit Tingyun more than necessary and her low survaibility without a healer is being a liability on some fights.
Overall I do think it's a great gacha.
Been running Silver wolf, Seele, Jing jun, Bailu. It is really fun.
just got her and this helped a lot lol
this was the weirdest analogy, brax
I suspect a mono-quantum team being viable in the near future
For as lynx (or thats her name) is leaked as a 4 star quantum healer
And then there's fu xuan (pink small co worker of jingyuan) being leaked now and then as a 5 star preservation character
Like what are the odds
I love the quantum girlies and can't wait to have them all in a team!
What's kind of cool is that if you win 50/50 on Seele, skip JY, win 50/50 on Silver Wolf, skip all of 1.2, you are guaranteed a Fu Xuan with the amount of pulls estimated between SW's and Fu's banners.
Thats my plan in the end... Hopefully we get good 4 star quantum harmony as well
"pink small co worker" 💀
Bitch she's Master Diviner, not some rando co worker...
story skipping casuals these days..
@@yunexxe same bro, all the quantum girls are so lovable, especially the short ones 😂
Qingque for example is so relatable gacha addict girl made me like her very much.
I think I will pull for kafka and after that just for quantum girls like Fu Xuan and Lynx
Great video as always. You should play tof
She seems good. I have no interest in debuffers, though. I want me some Luocha!
just won 50/50. hoping to won 50/50 again so i can get luocha. hes a broken healer
Hopefully Luocha is worth it because I want him + blade for that amazing team comp
Mmmm tidepod 🍲 soup gotta try me some of that. That being said why havnt I been subbed to this guy his build guides are stellar liked 👍 and subbed
you had me at tide pod soup, thanks for the info brax
fastest guide in the west
Best guide so far
I lost my 50/50 to Gepard and got him E1, but still got Sliver Wolf and she has been performing incredible well and with only her 4 star lightcone and on shirt gear she has 99.7% effect hitrate and honestly even if she didn’t perform well I still use her cause I’m loving her gameplay! Good luck to everyone who plans to pull for her and I hope you all win your 50/50s.
Braxo : Clara want to get punched...
Also braxo : uh, i mean...
Lmao
I started disassociating when you started talking about soup and tidepods.
Man it must be nice to win the 50/50 wish i could win the 50/50 for once
The TidePod Soup explanation was on point ngl...
Got her on the first 10 pull and I deserved it after wasting 150 pull on jing yuan banner and losing the 50/50. Can't wait to build her up
Now this makes me more motivated to build her, just won 50-50 to get her and her light cone too
wdym more motivated?u literally pulled for her lc,weren't u gonna build her? lol
when i found out that silverwolf was coming and that she's a GREAT debuffer i actually got happy on loosing the 50/50 in jing yuan's banner and getting it to guaranteed, i can literally do like 5 pulls and i get her
Subbed just for the Tide Pod Soup metaphor lol
I was already planning a 2-2 team with Seele, bailu, silver wolf, and tingyun, so this works perfectly 😀
that is indeed a good team, your seele will deal insane damage
for overworld,everything works. doubt you'll manage to survive at late moc stages..
@@johnd7760 im sure it will be fine at level 80
@@itsdustyneko till moc 7-8 probably.. but doubt they care for that anyway
When it comes to team comps, i'm running Seele Quantum Nuke which focuses on using Tingyun to buff Seele and debuffing with Silverwolf.
Anybody else realize that eventually every enemy character will know where you live and just be chilling on the express...
