Summary
- Leaks reveal early details about Anaxa, a highly anticipated new character in Honkai: Star Rail, part of the Amphoreus region.
- Anaxa's kit is expected to offer versatile utility, including manipulating enemy weaknesses and delaying enemy actions.
- Anaxa is one of several Star Rail versions of Honkai Impact 3rd's "Flame-Chaser" characters debuting in the game's fourth playable world.
Recent leaks from Honkai: Star Rail offer glimpses into the gameplay of the upcoming character, Anaxa, hinting at a diverse skillset. The Amphoreus region's launch has already teased several new characters, including various versions of Honkai Impact 3rd's "Flame-Chasers." HoYoverse previously unveiled Herta and Aglaea (Version 3.0) and Tribbie and Mydei (Version 3.1). Now, leaks point towards a future addition to this roster.
While HoYoverse remains tight-lipped about Amphoreus' characters, Honkai: Star Rail has revealed the names of several new additions. Amphoreus features Star Rail counterparts to popular Honkai Impact 3rd characters, such as Phainon and Cyrene (representing Kevin Kaslana and Elysia). This follows a pattern of including alternate versions of Honkai Impact 3rd characters, including Seele, Bronya, and Himeko. Now, early details about another Flame-Chaser, Anaxa, have surfaced.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Hints at Anaxa Gameplay
A leak from Honkai: Star Rail leaker, Hellgirl, reveals early gameplay details for Anaxa. The leak suggests Anaxa's abilities will offer significant team utility, similar to Silver Wolf's weakness application and the action delay capabilities seen in other characters. Anaxa is also anticipated to provide offensive boosts, potentially reducing enemy defense and amplifying damage for himself or allies. A release date for Anaxa remains unconfirmed.
Anaxa's rumored kit appears to blend strengths from several popular Star Rail characters. Silver Wolf's ability to exploit enemy weaknesses is a key element, as is Pela's defense reduction. The action delay mechanic mirrors abilities found in characters like Silver Wolf and Welt.
Anaxa's diverse abilities position him as a potentially powerful support character. The current meta is dominated by supports like Ruan Mei and Robin, with recent additions like Sunday and Fugue gaining popularity. Tribbie, a damage-oriented support, is also anticipated in Version 3.1. Anaxa's leaked abilities suggest he could significantly impact Honkai: Star Rail's meta upon release.
