'''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 Entangling Bola, Boot Kicking them in the face, and finishing them off with a Slam Fire from her rifle. But inevitably, the 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 was released on [[Update:February 2, 2026|February 2, 2026]] as the third winner of the [[Update:January 22, 2026|Old Gods, New Blood]] update contest.

=== Lycan Curse buildup ===
Silver builds {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePerDamage}} bloodlust per damage dealt. When below {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|LowHealthFraction}}% health she gets +{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|LowHealthRageBonus}}% buildup, increasing 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.

She takes {{#expr:{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage}}/{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePerDamage}}round0}} damage (not counting low health bonus) to charge her ultimate at base level. 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}}+(6*{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage.Scale.Value}}))/{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePerDamage}}round0}} at level 6 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. However, she also passively builds up {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePercentagePerSecondInCombat}}% per second in combat, effectively lowering the damage required.

She loses {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|RagePercentagePerSecondOutOfCombat}}% buildup per second 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 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 could be an ironic reference to the fact that silver is a common weakness to werewolves.
** The word "silver" is 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'']].
