Honkai: Star Rail Leak Hints at Anaxa Gameplay

A new leak shared by Honkai: Star Rail leaker Hellgirl is teasing the early gameplay details for the new character Anaxa. According to the leak, Anaxa's kit will provide a wide range of utility to team compositions utilizing the Flame-Chaser, offering weakness applications similar to Silver Wolf and the ability to delay enemy actions. Anaxa is also expected to have significant offensive capabilities, able to reduce an enemy's defense and add additional damage to either his own or his allies' attacks. A release window for Anaxa has not yet been confirmed.

Anaxa's rumored kit within Honkai: Star Rail looks to combine powerful aspects of several popular Star Rail characters. Silver Wolf has long been one of the game's most versatile picks for teams, thanks to her ability to implant Weaknesses onto enemies based on her team. Anaxa's reported DEF reduction within Honkai: Star Rail looks to provide similar utility to Pela, while his ability to delay an enemy's actions is a popular mechanic utilized by characters like Silver Wolf and Welt.

The diverse options available to Anaxa look to position him among Honkai: Star Rail's most powerful supportive characters. The game's meta has long been dominated by premier supports like Ruan Mei and Robin, while the newly-released Sunday and Fugue have become popular choices following their launch. HoYoverse has also teased a powerful new support coming with Version 3.1, with Tribbie expected to offer a more damage-oriented style of support. Anaxa's early leaks suggest that he could bring a major shake-up to Honkai: Star Rail's meta following his debut.
