CoreEagle of Twilight Line

When it comes to maximizing Silver Wolf's effective Speed in battle as a support, 4P Eagle of Twilight Line is her best choice because of her incredibly accessible Ultimate. This is assuming you have a set with reasonable Speed sub-stats on it to hit her most common breakpoints.

2PCIncreases Wind DMG by 10%.

Strong when supporting a single ATK based DPS character while also granting Silver Wolf the extra Energy Regen she's after. More generic than most options.

2PCIncreases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5%. If the wearer is not the first character in the team lineup, then increases the ATK of the first character in the team lineup by 12%.

Silver Wolf only needs 39% EHR to land her most important abilities, but would prefer to have 50 - 69% to max out bonus ability and or guarantee all her abilities land. An EHR body will help with that. If you're okay foregoing these breakpoints or can hit them through other means, a CRIT RATE body is the next priority to boost Silver Wolf's damage. Alternatively, you can invest in defensive stats instead.

Seele takes an extra turn on a kill, so the team spends everything on making the first hit land: a Quantum Weakness implant, an action advance, and a shield.

Acheron charges her Ultimate off debuffs other characters apply, so the team runs two more Nihility units and a sustain that never needs a Skill Point.

Jingliu drains her allies’ HP to enter her enhanced state, so the healer slot is not optional and the debuffer is there to cover her single-target ceiling.
