Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Reveal Anaxa's Versatile Abilities
Recent leaks from Honkai: Star Rail offer a sneak peek at Anaxa, a highly anticipated new character from the Amphoreus region. These leaks suggest Anaxa will be a utility powerhouse, bringing a unique blend of abilities to the game.
Anaxa, a Star Rail iteration of a "Flame-Chaser" from Honkai Impact 3rd, is expected to join the game's fourth playable world. He's one of several Flame-Chaser variants already confirmed for Amphoreus, following the releases of Herta and Aglaea (Version 3.0) and Tribbie and Mydei (Version 3.1).
The leaked gameplay details paint a picture of a character with diverse utility. Similar to Silver Wolf, Anaxa is rumored to possess the ability to exploit enemy weaknesses. Furthermore, he's expected to feature a powerful crowd control element, capable of delaying enemy actions. Adding to his versatility, Anaxa is also anticipated to offer offensive support, potentially reducing enemy defense and boosting damage output for himself or his allies.
Anaxa's kit appears to borrow strengths from several existing popular characters. His weakness application echoes Silver Wolf's flexibility, while his defense reduction resembles Pela's utility. The enemy delay mechanic is a familiar feature, shared by characters like Silver Wolf and Welt.
This combination of abilities positions Anaxa as a potentially game-changing support character. The current meta is heavily influenced by top-tier supports such as Ruan Mei and Robin, with newer additions like Sunday and Fugue also gaining popularity. With Tribbie's damage-oriented support arriving in Version 3.1, Anaxa's arrival could significantly alter the Honkai: Star Rail meta. While a release date remains unconfirmed, anticipation for this versatile Flame-Chaser is high.
