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 teased by HoYoverse, following the releases of Herta and Aglaea (Version 3.0) and Tribbie and Mydei (Version 3.1).
Anaxa's Gameplay Potential:
Leaks indicate Anaxa will possess a diverse skillset, including:
- Weakness Application: Similar to Silver Wolf, Anaxa will likely apply weaknesses to enemies, significantly boosting team damage.
- Enemy Action Delay: A mechanic seen in characters like Silver Wolf and Welt, this ability will disrupt enemy turn order, providing crucial tactical advantages.
- Defense Reduction: Comparable to Pela's abilities, Anaxa may reduce enemy defense, further enhancing damage output.
- Damage Amplification: He's expected to boost either his own damage or that of his allies.
Impact on the Meta:
Anaxa's rumored abilities combine the strengths of several popular Honkai: Star Rail characters, potentially making him a top-tier support. His arrival could significantly shift the game's meta, currently dominated by supports like Ruan Mei, Robin, Sunday, and Fugue. With Tribbie's damage-focused support also on the horizon (Version 3.1), Anaxa's release promises exciting changes to team compositions and strategic gameplay. However, a release date for Anaxa remains unconfirmed.
