Many players are deciding between Silver Wolf and Luocha for Honkai: Star Rail’s 1.1 update banners. When Honkai: Star Rail offers such fun and unique builds for both free-to-play players and those who spend money, it can be difficult to choose between two amazing characters. Let us help you decide who is more useful in the long run based on our personal opinion.
Silver Wolf Vs. Luocha in Honkai: Star Rail
I think the best character to pull for during this next phase of Honkai: Star Rail is Luocha. To explain my reasoning, let’s look at these characters’ Elements, Paths, and Gameplay. Related: Honkai Star Rail (HSR) – Chat Release Date; How to Talk with Friends
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf is the first character in the patch, so our hacker girl will be a Quantum Nihility character that can create some pretty awesome debuffs against enemies and introduce additional elements to the team to cope with enemy weaknesses. There are only a few characters in Quantum at the moment, including Soul and Qingque. Silver Wolf fills in better, but her Path further compromises her stance.
With Silver Wolf, Nihility has more characters than Quantum, and they will continue to grow as 1.2 approaches. Silver Wolf is less helpful when it comes to filling out team gaps since Kafka is a Nihility character.
Increasing difficulty may also make her skills less effective. Silver Wolf’s special debuff is 85% effective, but it becomes more difficult to trigger as enemies become tougher, more resistant, or more powerful as power levels, bosses, or Equilibriums increase. This won’t be a major issue just yet, as there are several ways to counter this margin of error, such as focusing on Effect Hit Rates.

Luocha
Yukong will be an Imaginary Harmony character, which means she will buff character damage, while Luocha will be an Imaginary Abundance character.
As one of three Imaginary characters in Honkai: Star Rail when his banner begins, Luocha has a rare Element. In the future, players who do not own Welt may have a gap and be able to break more enemy weaknesses. In light of Yukong’s availability, Luocha may be less rare than before, but he is already a valuable element.
He will also be one of the three healers in Honkai: Star Rail, along with Bailu and Natasha, both free. In spite of his Element and Path, Luocha is a very rare character among the next few character banners that will follow after 1.1. Although having a healer isn’t entirely necessary for your team, it helps to avoid dead characters in the future.
