r/silverwolflevel999

I originally reaaaallly wanted Robin bc she’s hot and i think she’s an upgrade to my Castorice team (which I want to vertically invest in) BUT I just heard waventurine is good in SW999 teams if you don’t have sparxie, which I unfortunately don’t, so I’m not sure which one is better.

My elation team rn is SW999 e0s1, Emc e6s1 (herta LC), Yao e0s0, and DHPT e0s1 (waiting for pearl ig)

And my Remembrance team consists of Cassie e0s1, Evernight e0s1 (finally got her just recently!!!), Cyrene e0s0, and Hyacine e0s0.

That also reminds me that I need hyacines LC still and I think she’s getting reran next patch? Idk if that’s true tho. Also my total pulls consist of 5. But I still have the fate collab rewards and the main story (4.3? Whatever this patch was). And ofc the rewards from next patch to collect so…

I really like Robin but am struggling to find a team where she would be good in. Is she good with SW999, Yao Guang, HuoHuo? Everyone at E0S0.

I'm not planning on getting Sparxie anytime soon and am currently using EMC. If Robin is a significant upgrade at E0 over EMC then I could see myself use her longterm with SW.

I’m an Evanescia player but I often borrow SW from friends just to switch up mat farming. My question is WHAT is she saying in her ultimate state at the start of every wave in the EN voiceover?

I hear “bonus round “so chills”” but I read stellar skills but it doesn’t sound she’s saying stellar skills to me. The fact it doesn’t match what it says has always bothered me and I’m so curious what she is actually saying and if I’m just mishearing it. Would love if any of you could let me know and thanks from across the elation creek!

I know this is future rail territory but just out of curiosity, what do we think the final flagship team is gonna include? (With sustain included)

Genuine question, how does sw999 currently fare to some upgraded teams like rincher and sabermesh and maybe ashblade variations? I am not asking to say she is weak, all new teams are strong and sw999 herself is strong, just want how is she faring compared to other teams

Hello, I have been trying to look for calculations online but cannot find one.

Does anyone have calcs for the damage difference between E6S1 vs E6S5? I am trying to consider getting S5 when her next rerun comes. Thanks!

After seeing all the discussion on the day the doomposting started and everyone started hating on SW and Sparxie, making senseless performance comparisons against Aven and Robin (where in that same comparison video we can see that Sparxie was the one who generated the most Punchlines for SW even while running an ER rope, for some reason, and clearing it in less AV), I started thinking about SW's possible issues. I was never too worried about this because mine is E6S1 and doesn't reach 200 spd, but I did some runs on the King of AS/AA using the only thing I learned that day (Sparxie needs 147+ spd, mine was on a 0 spd build) and noticed a few problems. I would like to bring them up for discussion to see if you guys agree, disagree, or have anything to add.

1st Problem: Capping SPD

Even though I can't reach 200 spd on my SW, isn't it kind of absurd that to hit 260 spd you need Yao E2, Huo E1, an S5 cone, and a crazy good build? She is the only Elation unit so far who isn't able to cap her Elation. Sparxie easily reaches 3600 atk, Yao with her cone hits her 200 spd, and Aven gets spd on his ultimate to manage reaching his 200 spd. SW is the only one who can't reach the cap, which is 260 spd.

This is so bizarre and results in so many wasted stats that a SW with 200 spd will gain 50% + 2*40% = 130% Elation. One with 260 gets 250% Elation, meaning that's 120% "wasted" Elation.

With the recent leaks, we know that Pearl will offer spd to Elation units, but I can't guarantee she'll be able to make SW reach 260.

2nd Problem: Team Composition

I think we all agree that SW's team isn't complete, but we don't know who Nihilux will replace in the current comp. The replacement debate can be biased, but it's still possible to argue about who stays or goes.

During my runs, I got the feeling that Yao was dead weight on the team. Her Punchline generation depends heavily on her ult, which takes 3 to 4 turns to get (mine doesn't have her sig cone), and there were moments where she couldn't get enough Punchlines to hit the 40 Punchlines before Aha. Sparxie generated 24 Punchlines (ult + 14 skill), and SW generated 6 (2 Pac-Man), leaving us 10 Punchlines short, which without Yao's ult just wouldn't hit 40 to take advantage of SW's trace and gain more MMR.

And even with this feeling of mine that Yao is dead weight on the team, somehow with EMC I managed to 0-cycle, whereas with Sparxie I struggled to achieve it (probably a build issue, but I've seen many people report that EMC yields better results than Sparxie).

Obviously, this is more because we don't have a 4th Elation unit on the team rather than it being Yao's fault, but personally, I believe she's the one leaving the team. Sparxie keeps her spot for being an insane Punchline battery, and Pearl, most likely, for being the team's sustain. Since the team was released incomplete—and unlike 3.X where the anniversary team got its pieces gradually—with SW's team we got 1 at the start and the remaining two at the very end, thanks to Pearl being delayed so many times (She was supposed to come out in 4.3 and is now dropping 3 patches later).

3rd Problem: Aha Instant

This is something I thought about and haven't really seen anyone talk about (might be my fault for not interacting with the community that much), but SW needs each Aha Instant to have at least 20/40 Punchlines to abuse her trace that gives 20/40 MMR if the Aha Instant triggers with 20/40 Punchlines. And what's recurrent in runs? Either the team fails to generate the 40 Punchlines, or the Punchlines overflow way too much, causing a lot of waste.

This waste happens mostly when Yao and Sparxie ult on the same turn; I've even hit 80 Punchlines in a single Aha Instant. Having so many Punchlines in one Aha, while another barely hits 20, makes SW's trace inconsistent and leaves her with less MMR than she could have. If you trigger AHA with 19, she misses out on 20 MMR because of 1 Punchline; if you trigger AHA with 39, she misses out on 20 extra MMR because of 1 Punchline. And if you trigger Aha with 60 Punchlines, you miss out on 20 MMR for having generated too many Punchlines before Aha even acts.

If there is a character that controls this MMR generation so each Aha always has around 20/40 Punchlines, I believe we won't even need a character to summon Aha or to double the generated Punchlines.

And as a piece of personal opinion: I believe that if SW actually manages to reach 260, with Aha hitting 161 spd to act 3 times in cycle 0, it will make the creation of Aha Instants less valuable for the team than it currently is. Maybe EMC will be on par with Yao in SW's team because they can generate more Punchlines than Yao since they need less energy to ult.

Extra: Replacing Yao.

To better explain the point about Sparxie being insane at generating Punchlines, let's do a mental exercise and compare Yao and Sparxie. To be fair, let's compare both with a 1-ult-per-4-turns rotation and consider an Aha Instant at every character action.

Sparxie (12 skills per turn, which is the average I got in my runs):

1st turn - 12 + 10 (Ult) = 22 Punchlines = 42 MMR (20 MMR from trace)

2nd turn - 12

3rd turn - 12

4th turn - 12

Total - 78 MMR

Yao:

1st turn - 6 (BA/Skill + Elation Skill) + 5 (Ult) = 11 Punchlines = 31 MMR (20 MMR from Yao's ult)

2nd turn - 6

3rd turn - 6

4th turn - 6

Total - 49 MMR

In long battles, Sparxie will always generate more Punchlines than any Elation unit. And because of this, I believe Nihilux will take Yao's place. Not because Yao is weak, but because Nihilux is the 2nd main Elation pusher (leaked as the Cyrene of Elation). Nihilux will most likely be the 3rd path support that will replace EMC in the teams they're currently in and will be stronger than Yao in terms of buffs. For her to take Sparxie's place, her kit would have to generate more Punchlines than Sparxie; not even Aven, who generates a lot of Punchlines, beats Sparxie in long battles.

What do you guys think? Am I right? Am I wrong?

P.S.: English is not my first language and I can't really write it properly, so I used AI for the translation (Google Translate sucks). If something is written incorrectly or sounds weird, that might be why.

hope robikini will upgrade him significantly

I have SW999 E6S1, Sparxie E2S1, Yao Guang E4S1, and Huohuo E2S1. I wasn’t clearing plight lately until I E2’d Sparxie, before that I hoped Yao Guang E4 would be enough but it wasn’t. The last few plights have really sucked for SW’s bounce.

I’d love to pull Robin or Aventurine but I’m unsure how either fits into SW999’s team and if I’ve reached the point where I don’t need to add anymore units (except Pearl for completion) to this team. My goal is to clear Plight King every time, and I’m hoping this seems to be the end of the line for that goal?

My other teams struggle with content a little, I didn’t get lucky with Blade so my Acheron team is dead, my FUA heavy investment Fei Ashblade team is dead. SW OG still works well enough with Sunday and Sparkle. I don’t have Tribbie for Archer. If they’re better served somewhere off SW999’s team is gladly do that instead for Robin and Aventurine. But if it’s a good fit for SW999 I’d rather do that instead since she’s my queen.

Any advice?

People act like a SW team at e2s1 investment won't be clearing a year from now

The rule 1 and 2 have been changed to better accommodate our current situation of the subReddit.

We’ve seen a huge influx of agenda posting with Robin SP, Aventurine and Pearl, generally, they’re fine to post, but since this is a silver wolf dedicated subReddit, excessive agenda posting especially done in a negative/inflammatory way against her will be considered as ragebaiting.

So I’ve updated the rule 1 to include passive aggressive behaviour and ragebaiting others to be considered a violation since these can escalate discussions into personal attacks.

And also rule 2 is updated so if someone is here just to spread silver wolf hate or excessive agenda posting against her, that’ll also be considered a violation.
(Also will be considered as a form of ragebait)

TLDR: Agenda posting like team discussions, powercreep etc is fine, just don’t ragebait or be passive aggressive to others and don’t do it excessively.
