Honkai: Star Rail Leak Hints at Anaxa Gameplay
A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail leaker Hellgirl is teasing the early gameplay details for the new character, Anaxa. According to the leak, Anaxa's kit will offer a wide range of utility to team compositions utilizing the Flame-Chaser, including the ability to apply weaknesses similar to Silver Wolf and delay enemy actions. Anaxa is also expected to provide significant offensive capabilities, such as reducing an enemy's defense and adding additional damage to either his own or his allies' attacks. A release window for Anaxa has not yet been confirmed.
Anaxa's rumored kit in Honkai: Star Rail appears to combine powerful elements from several popular Star Rail characters. Silver Wolf is renowned for her flexibility in teams, thanks to her ability to implant Weaknesses onto enemies based on her team composition. Anaxa's reported DEF reduction ability mirrors that of Pela, while his capacity to delay enemy actions is a mechanic favored by characters like Silver Wolf and Welt.
The variety of options available to Anaxa positions him as one of Honkai: Star Rail's most potent supportive characters. The game's meta has long been dominated by top-tier supports like Ruan Mei and Robin, with the recently released Sunday and Fugue gaining popularity. HoYoverse has also teased a powerful new support coming with Version 3.1, with Tribbie expected to offer a more damage-focused style of support. Anaxa's early leaks suggest that he could significantly impact Honkai: Star Rail's meta upon his debut.
