Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Reveal Anaxa's Versatile Abilities
Recent leaks from Honkai: Star Rail offer a glimpse into the anticipated gameplay of Anaxa, a new character slated for Amphoreus, the game's fourth playable world. These leaks suggest Anaxa will be a highly versatile addition, boasting a kit packed with utility abilities.
Anaxa, one of several Star Rail interpretations of Honkai Impact 3rd's "Flame-Chasers," is expected to bring unique strengths to the battlefield. He's anticipated to manipulate enemy weaknesses, a feature reminiscent of Silver Wolf, and possess the ability to delay enemy actions, a mechanic shared by characters like Silver Wolf and Welt. Furthermore, the leaks hint at offensive capabilities, including defense reduction and damage amplification for himself and/or allies. A specific release date remains unconfirmed.
This combination of abilities draws parallels to several existing popular characters. His weakness application mirrors Silver Wolf's flexibility, while his defense reduction echoes Pela's utility. The enemy delay mechanic is a familiar and effective tool.
Anaxa's potential impact on Honkai: Star Rail's meta is significant. The game currently features strong support characters like Ruan Mei and Robin, with recent additions Sunday and Fugue also proving popular. Tribbie, another upcoming support character in Version 3.1, is also anticipated to offer a damage-focused support style. Anaxa's leaked abilities suggest he could become a powerful contender in the support role, potentially reshaping team compositions. The Amphoreus region is already set to introduce several new Flame-Chaser characters, including Star Rail versions of Kevin Kaslana (Phainon) and Elysia (Cyrene), alongside other familiar names like Seele, Bronya, and Himeko.
