Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Keep space to avoid Boot Kick and Entangling Bola before either connects. The bola prevents stamina and movement abilities while it lasts, so keep cover close when Silver has it ready. Apply Serrated Knives from beside cover, and keep Slice and Dice for a route that lets you return to your partner. Reach cover before Bloodletting’s delayed damage leaves you low.

Mid game · Walkers

Spread out when Silver has the ricochet upgrade for Entangling Bola. Lycan Curse increases her health and changes her attacks, and maximum bloodlust can trigger it automatically. Use distance and control to keep her transformed attacks away from wounded allies. Keep Slice and Dice available for a route back to cover instead of using it only to close the distance.

Late game · Patron

Pressure Silver after she returns to human form, while watching for another Lycan Curse. Its final upgrade refreshes her abilities and duration on a hero kill, so protect wounded teammates rather than letting her extend the transformation. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Silver when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
