“Feral - Hot Mess - Transformation
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 February 2, 2026 as the third winner of the Old Gods, New Blood update contest.

Lycan Curse buildup
Silver builds 0.255 bloodlust per damage dealt. When below 30% health she gets +40% buildup, increasing by +1.8% per Boon (additively), making it +103% at max level. This bonus is applied retroactively to the existing buildup when Silver reaches the health threshold.
She takes 392 damage (not counting low health bonus) to charge her ultimate at base level. The damage required increases by +9.4% per Boon (additively), making it 613 at level 6 when the ultimate is unlocked, and 1682 at max level. However, she also passively builds up 1% per second in combat, effectively lowering the damage required.
She loses -3% buildup per second out of combat.

Split Shot has no effect on Loose Muzzle.
Background
See Silver/Lore for more story content.
“Lilah Silver is a mess. She drinks too much, she smokes too much, and the less is said about her personal life the better. But despite Silver's flaws she has managed to carve out a career as a successful bounty hunter, and while she would like to think that her successes are solely because she has incredible intuition, the fact that she’s a werewolf doesn’t hurt.
Lore
Silver's goal in the ritual is to get money and sort her life out.[3][4][5][6] She hates her life and is aware of her self-destructive tendencies.[7][8] Silver has a habit of spending all of her money on rent or alcohol.[9] While she doesn't love being a bounty hunter, she believes she isn't good at anything else and would end up homeless if she didn't do a job that paid well.[10][11]
Silver has been a werewolf for as long as she can remember.[12] She claims to have her Lycanthropy under control.[13] Despite this, Silver seems unable to control her transformation due to it triggering automatically in-game without her compliance.[14]
Silver tries to take bounties in alive, although her methods usually end up killing them.[15] She's brought Vyper into custody on several occasions and is after a bounty on The Troubadour.[16][17]
Silver has an unnamed ex-partner who accused her of pushing people away.[18]
Silver once got kicked out of the Baroness Hotel during brunch.[19][20]
Character interactions

- As a heavy drinker, Silver frequents Jezebel's and is friends with Hank and Infernus.[27][28] She refers to Infernus as "Fern."[29]
- Silver is old friends with Abrams, referring to him as "Abe."[30] According to Silver, they used to make "bad decisions" before Abrams became "boring."[31]

- Silver is implied to have been hunting Drifter for a while and hates him.[33][34] Silver is also after a bounty on Calico.[35]

Trivia
- During development, Silver was originally codenamed Shapeshifter, whose name was leaked in November 2025.[43]
- 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 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 Shag.
