'''Silver''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]'', making her living tracking down lowlifes, but today New York’s misanthrope lycanthrope plans on summoning a god. Fortunately, her career as a bounty hunter has prepared her well for all that the ritual requires. She makes quick work of adversaries by catching them with her '''[[Silver#Entangling Bola|Entangling Bola]]''', '''[[Silver#Boot Kick|Boot Kicking]]''' them in the face, and finishing them off with a '''[[Silver#Slam Fire|Slam Fire]]''' from her rifle. But inevitably, the '''[[Silver#Lycan Curse|Lycan Curse]]''' comes calling whether she likes it or not, and her foes will regret being too close when it does.

Lilah Silver has been a werewolf for as long as she can remember, insisting that she has her Lycanthropy under control. Despite her successes as a bounty hunter, Silver struggles with alcohol, smoking, financial, and personal troubles on a daily basis, driving her to seek the [[Patron]]'s help to "thrive". 

Silver is unique among heroes in having two distinct sets of abilities—one for her human form and one for her werewolf form—which automatically swap when her [[#Ultimate Ability|Lycan Curse]] transforms her.

== Weapon ==

<tabber>
|-|Default =
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_werewolf}}<br>

Hair of the Dog reloads single shots and the reload can be interrupted.
|-|Transformed =
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_werewolf_transformed|weapon_name=Loose Muzzle|no_falloff=true}}<br>

Loose Muzzle deals damage in a close range, cone-shaped attack that can hit multiple enemies. The 7 meter falloff range cannot be increased by items such as {{ItemIcon|Sharpshooter}}. It has no ammo count and no reload, and does not deal headshot damage. 

It can activate Weapon item effects such as {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}}. {{ItemIcon|Split Shot}} has no effect on Loose Muzzle.

*This attack stacks [[Fire Rate]] from each confirmed hit on enemies and NPCs. The amount of fire rate gained per hit is found by dividing the Lycan Curse maximum Fire Rate by 16. The fire rate buff lasts approximately 6 seconds before resetting if no damage has been dealt with Loose Muzzle, and does not transfer to Silver when Lycan Curse ends.

=== Ultimate Ability ===

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name   = Silver
| ability_num = 4
| notes       =
* The passive feature has a 3 second delay before automatically casting Lycan Curse once bloodlust is full. The player can press the ability button to transform instantly during that delay.
** The player can activate the instant transform even if Silver has been [[silenced]].
* Werewolf Silver's Loose Muzzle attack deals [[Weapon Damage]] (see "Weapon/Transformed" above for more info). 
** She can still do [[Melee Attacks]], but it can be hard to tell when Werewolf Silver uses light melee since it has a similar animation to her base attack.
* Damage dealt to [[Unit|NPCs]] does not count towards Lycan Curse. However, it does generate the {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePercentagePerSecondInCombat}}% passive buildup in combat.
* After Lycan Curse ends, Silver's weapon is automatically reloaded.
* Lycan Curse's cooldown does not begin until the transformation ends.
* Bonus fire rate is applied through stacks given when "shooting" (attacking) enemies. The max bonus listed on ability card is given at the maximum of {{DataProp|Lycan Curse|MaxStacks}} stacks. Each attack applies a new stack and refreshes the duration of all previous stacks to {{DataProp|Lycan Curse|StackDuration}}s. As an example, the base ability lists +{{DataProp|Lycan Curse|BonusFireRate}}% Fire Rate; this means that every attack gives a +{{#expr: {{DataProp|Lycan Curse|BonusFireRate}} / {{DataProp|Lycan Curse|MaxStacks}}}}% Fire Rate bonus.
* If Silver [[imbues]] an item in one of her abilities, it is imbued in both forms (e.g. imbuing Boot Kick also affects Mauling Leap).
** If Silver imbues {{ItemIcon|Echo Shard}}, it will always use the cooldown of the human form ability, even if Silver buys the item in werewolf form.
* Buildup notes:
** Lycan Curse bloodlust builds {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePerDamage}}% per damage dealt (post-mitigation by [[Damage Resistance|resistances]]).
** Whenever Silver is below {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|LowHealthFraction}}% health, the bloodlust buildup is increased by +{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|LowHealthRageBonus}}%. This additional buildup grows by +{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|LowHealthRageBonus.Scale.Value}}% per [[Boon]] (additively), making it +{{#expr:{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|LowHealthRageBonus}}+({{#invoke:SoulUnlock|get_max|PowerIncrease}}*{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|LowHealthRageBonus.Scale.Value}})}}% at max level. This bonus is applied retroactively to the existing buildup when Silver reaches the health threshold.
** The base required amount of hero-damage inflicted (not counting low health bonus) to charge Lycan Curse is {{#expr:{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage}}/{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePerDamage}}round0}}. The damage required increases by +{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage.Scale.Value}}% per [[Boon]] (additively), making it {{#expr:({{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage}}+(7*{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage.Scale.Value}}))/{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePerDamage}}round0}} at level 7 when the ultimate is unlocked, and {{#expr:({{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage}}+({{#invoke:SoulUnlock|get_max|PowerIncrease}}*{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage.Scale.Value}}))/{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePerDamage}}round0}} at max level.
** Bloodlust also passively builds up {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePercentagePerSecondInCombat}}% per second in combat, effectively lowering the damage required.
*** Bloodlust is lost at the rate of {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePercentagePerSecondOutOfCombat}}% per second when out of combat.

== Trivia ==

* During development, Silver was originally codenamed '''Shapeshifter''', whose name was leaked in November 2025.<ref>https://x.com/MlNESWEEPER/status/1992243811419111459</ref>
* Silver had a scrapped ability where she tracked bounties during the match, as indicated by unused voicelines still in the files.
* The name of Silver's weapon, '''Hair of the Dog''', is a shortening of the expression[[wikipedia:Hair of the Dog| ''Hair of the Dog that Bit You'']], referring to alcohol consumed to lessen the effect of a hangover.
* Silver is the first hero to possess a weapon without a traditional projectile or ranged option, as her primary fire in Werewolf form swings her claws to maim enemies in melee range. She's also the first hero to have two sets of abilities.
* "Figuring Out What Happened Last Night in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Silver in the [[Hideout]].
* Silver's name is an ironic reference to the fact that silver is a common weakness to werewolves. The [[Patrons|Patrons]]' heralds tell the player to find silver bullets to stop an enemy Silver.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=The Hidden King|quotes=Silver/Quotes#Patrons'_Heralds|transcription=How hard is it to find some silver bullets and shoot her?!}}</ref>
** It's also a common component-word primarily to describe appearance of non-human specimen (e.g. "silver back", "silver fang", etc.).
* Silver's release date, February 2, 2026, was under a full moon, a common association with werewolves.
* Silver's hairstyle is known as a Wolf Cut, originally known as a [[wikipedia:Shag_(haircut) |''Shag'']].
* Silver's name typography has the shape of a crescent moon in the "R" curve.
* Silver has an ingrown right incisor on the Lycan model.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/P8bBdl5 Silver's right incisor]</ref>
* Silver's voice actor [[wikipedia:Erica_Lindbeck|Erica Lindbeck]] is also known for playing various other animal-themed characters, such as [[wikipedia:List_of_Hazbin_Hotel_and_Helluva_Boss_characters#Loona|Loona]] in ''Helluva Boss'', [[wikipedia:Black_Cat_(Marvel_Comics)|Black Cat]] in ''Marvel's Spider-Man'' and ''Marvel Rivals'', Blaze the Cat in [[wikipedia:Sonic_the_Hedgehog|''Sonic the Hedgehog'']], and Kit in [[wikipedia:Gameoverse|''Gameoverse'']].
* A substantial portion of Silver's animations in both human and Lycan form are reused currently reused placeholder assets belonging to other heroes. Her human form's light melee, heavy melee and parry animations being taken directly from [[Seven]], and almost all of her Lycan form's non-ability related animations are taken from [[Drifter]].
