Honkai: Star Rail Leak Hints at Anaxa Gameplay
A leak from the well-known Honkai: Star Rail leaker Hellgirl offers early insights into Anaxa's gameplay. According to the leak, Anaxa's kit will offer a broad range of utility to team compositions that include the Flame-Chaser. His abilities are rumored to include applying weaknesses similar to Silver Wolf and delaying enemy actions. Additionally, Anaxa is expected to enhance offensive capabilities by reducing enemy defense and boosting damage output for himself and his allies. No release window has been confirmed for Anaxa yet.
Anaxa's rumored kit in Honkai: Star Rail combines elements from several popular characters. His ability to apply weaknesses mirrors Silver Wolf's flexibility, while his defense reduction is reminiscent of Pela's utility. Moreover, his capacity to delay enemy actions is a mechanic shared by characters like Silver Wolf and Welt.
With these diverse abilities, Anaxa is poised to become one of Honkai: Star Rail's most formidable supportive characters. The game's meta has 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, Tribbie, coming in Version 3.1, who will offer a more damage-focused support style. Anaxa's early leaks suggest he could significantly impact Honkai: Star Rail's meta upon his release.
