Well, you’re in luck, as that’s exactly what our Honkai Star Rail Silver Wolf tier list is here to help with. In this very guide, we rank all of the characters from S tier to D tier, with S being best and D being worst.

We’ll also include a description of the tiers so you know what they actually mean.

Honkai Star Rail is the latest addition to the popular Honkai series. The game features a wide range of stylish characters who wield various unique abilities. Whether you prefer characters who use Lightning or those who use Ice, Honkai Star Rail offers up fun combat and an immersive world. Collect characters and upgrade them to build an ultra-powerful team as you explore the Astral Express.

Honkai Star Rail Silver Wolf Tier List

Now, let’s take a look at the Honkai Star Rail Silver Wolf light cone options.

S Tier

God tier light cones.

• Incessant Rain

A Tier

Solid light cones that are great for filling gaps in your party when you don’t have enough S tiers.

• Before the Tutorial Mission Starts
• Eyes of the Prey
• In the Name of the World
• Good Night and Sleep Well

B Tier

These light cones start strong but fade later on. Don’t be ashamed to use them, but do swap them out as you obtain S and A tiers.

• Resolution Shines as Pearls of Sweat
• We Will Meet Again

C Tier

In certain game modes, or at the beginning, light cones in this tier can excel. Mostly, they’re useless though.

• Fermata
• Void

D Tier

Never use D tiers unless you can’t avoid it. They’re awful at all game modes, and at all phases of the game.

• Hidden Shadow
• Loop

What Do Our Tiers Mean?

Here’s a brief explanation of each of our tiers:

• S Tier: Light cones in this tier are the absolute best that the game has to offer. You should prioritise unlocking these and increasing their power.
• A Tier: If your collection is lacking in S tiers, A tiers are great for filling gaps. These light cones are still great in their own right, but they just lack a little something when you compare them to an S tier. Use them when you need to, but drop them when you can.
• B Tier: During the early phases of the game, you’ll likely rely on a party of a single S tier and a bunch of B tiers. These light cones are quite easy to get, and are solid, if unremarkable. Definitely swap them out for A tiers and S tiers, but don’t be ashamed to use them if you need to.
• C Tier: This is when we get into ‘bad light cone’ territory. C tiers are, much like D tiers, some of the worst light cones on offer, but they often have niche uses.
• D Tier: Light cones in this tier are simply never worth using. They’re the worst light cones in the game, suffering from severe balance issues, and will underperform at all points in any modes. Don’t use them if you can avoid it.

How Did We Select Our Honkai Star Rail Silver Wolf Tier List?

We used a number of different sources when selecting our Honkai Star Rail Silver Wolf tier list, but, primarily, we judge based on our personal experience with the game. As a result, it is bound to be quite a subjective list, but there’s no getting around that.

To determine the rankings, we both experiment with the light cones in the game (if unlocked), as well as theory-craft based on skill descriptions and raw statistics. That’s why you’ll see our tier list change so much when a game first launches, as we’re in the testing phase.

It’s also worth noting that we do scour communities, like Reddit, for community feedback. If the general consensus is that a specific light cone is strong or weak, we will reflect that in our tier list. That way, it’s got a certain degree of objectivity.

We’ll wrap this section up by reminding you that tier lists are subjective by nature. Your experience may vary completely to ours, so take it with a pinch of salt.

When Do We Update Our Honkai Star Rail Silver Wolf Tier List?

You can expect to see an update to our Honkai Star Rail Silver Wolf tier list whenever a new light cones is introduced. It might take us a while to test the light cone for ourselves though, so expect a brief delay.

We also update the list whenever a big balance patch hits, as this will throw the meta out the window. Again, there may be a brief delay as we experiment with the changes and update our rankings.
