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 release in the Amphoreus region. These leaks suggest Anaxa will possess a diverse skillset, combining utility and offensive capabilities.
Anaxa, a Star Rail iteration of a Honkai Impact 3rd "Flame-Chaser," is one of several such characters debuting in the game's fourth playable world. Following the release of Herta and Aglaea (Version 3.0) and Tribbie and Mydei (Version 3.1), Anaxa's arrival is highly anticipated. While HoYoverse remains tight-lipped, the Amphoreus region is already shaping up to feature Star Rail versions of popular Honkai Impact 3rd characters like Kevin Kaslana (Phainon) and Elysia (Cyrene).
Anaxa's Gameplay Potential:
Leaks from sources like Hellgirl indicate Anaxa's kit will offer significant utility. He's expected to manipulate enemy weaknesses, a mechanic similar to Silver Wolf, and delay enemy turns, mirroring abilities found in characters like Silver Wolf and Welt. Furthermore, Anaxa is rumored to possess offensive capabilities, including defense reduction and damage amplification for himself or his allies. A specific release date is yet to be confirmed.
Anaxa's skillset appears to borrow strengths from several existing popular characters. His weakness application echoes Silver Wolf's flexibility, while his defense reduction is comparable to Pela's utility. The turn delay mechanic adds another layer of strategic depth, reminiscent of Silver Wolf and Welt.
Impact on the Meta:
Anaxa's potential versatility positions him as a powerful support character. The current Honkai: Star Rail meta is heavily influenced by top-tier supports like Ruan Mei and Robin, with newer additions like Sunday and Fugue also gaining popularity. Tribbie's damage-focused support role in Version 3.1 further highlights the importance of strong support characters. Anaxa's leaked abilities suggest he could significantly alter the game's meta upon his release.
