Star Rail's Anaxa, Unveiled: Early Insights Emerge

Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Reveal Anaxa's Versatile Abilities

Recent leaks from Honkai: Star Rail offer a glimpse into the anticipated gameplay of Anaxa, a new character slated for release in Amphoreus, the game's fourth playable world. These leaks suggest Anaxa will be a highly versatile addition, bringing unique utility to teams.

Anaxa, a Star Rail iteration of a "Flame-Chaser" from Honkai Impact 3rd, is expected to join a roster already featuring Star Rail versions of popular characters like Kevin Kaslana (Phainon) and Elysia (Cyrene). His inclusion continues the trend of incorporating familiar faces from Honkai Impact 3rd, similar to the appearances of Seele, Bronya, and Himeko in Star Rail.

Details from leaker Hellgirl paint a picture of Anaxa's kit as a blend of powerful support capabilities. He's rumored to possess abilities mirroring several established characters: like Silver Wolf, he'll likely apply enemy weaknesses; similar to Silver Wolf and Welt, he'll potentially delay enemy actions; and his speculated defense reduction echoes Pela's utility. Furthermore, he’s expected to contribute offensively, boosting his own or his allies' damage output.

The combination of weakness application, enemy action delay, and defense reduction suggests Anaxa will be a potent support character, potentially rivaling existing top-tier supports like Ruan Mei and Robin, as well as newer additions like Sunday and Fugue. With Tribbie's damage-oriented support also arriving in Version 3.1, Anaxa's arrival could significantly shift Honkai: Star Rail's meta. While a release date remains unconfirmed, Anaxa's leaked abilities certainly generate excitement for his eventual debut.
