Honkai: Star Rail Leak Hints at Anaxa Gameplay
A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail leaker Hellgirl offers early insights into the gameplay of the new character, Anaxa. According to the leak, Anaxa's kit will provide a wide range of utility to team compositions that include the Flame-Chaser. His abilities are said to include applying weaknesses similar to Silver Wolf and delaying enemy actions. Additionally, Anaxa is expected to offer offensive capabilities, such as reducing an enemy's defense and enhancing damage output for either his own or his allies' attacks. A release window for Anaxa has yet to be confirmed.
Anaxa's rumored kit in Honkai: Star Rail appears to blend powerful elements from several popular Star Rail characters. Silver Wolf's flexibility in implanting Weaknesses onto enemies based on her team is mirrored in Anaxa's reported abilities. His DEF reduction capability is reminiscent of Pela, while his ability to delay enemy actions is a mechanic shared by characters like Silver Wolf and Welt.
The diverse options available to Anaxa position him as one of Honkai: Star Rail's most potent supportive characters. The game's meta has been dominated by top-tier supports like Ruan Mei and Robin, with the recently released Sunday and Fugue gaining popularity. HoYoverse has also teased a powerful new support, Tribbie, coming with Version 3.1, who is expected to offer a more damage-focused style of support. Anaxa's early leaks suggest that he could significantly impact Honkai: Star Rail's meta upon his debut.
