Anaxa's Kit Details
Basic ATK: Torment Brews Truth (Single-Target)
Deals Wind DMG equal to 50%(140%) of Anaxa's ATK to one designated enemy.
Skill: Fractal Banishes Falsehoods (Bounce)
Deals Wind DMG equal to 30%(75%) of Anaxa's ATK to one designated enemy and additionally deals 4 instance(s) of DMG.
Each instance of DMG deals Wind DMG equal to 30%(75%) of Anaxa's ATK to one random enemy, prioritizing Bouncing to enemy targets that have not been hit in this usage of Skill.
Ultimate: Genesis of Budding Life (AoE)
Cost: 140 energy
Inflicts the "Ascension" state to all enemy units and immediately deals Wind DMG equal to 90%(180%) of Anaxa's ATK to all enemy units.
In the "Ascension" state, targets will be simultaneously inflicted with Physical, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Quantum, and Imaginary Weaknesses for 1 turn. If the targets do not have Control RES, they are unable to take action in "Ascension" state.
Talent: Tetrad Wisdom, Trinity Supreme (Impair)
Each time Anaxa attacks enemy targets 1 time, inflicts 1 random Type Weakness to the targets, lasting for 3 turn(s) with priority to the Weakness Type that the target has yet to have.
When Anaxa is on the battlefield, he inflicts the "Exposed Nature" state to enemy targets with at least 5 different Type Weaknesses. Anaxa deals 48%(96%) more DMG to targets in "Exposed Nature" state. In addition, using a Basic ATK or Skill on targets in "Exposed Nature" state allows him to use another 1 instance of his Skill. This additional Skill does not consume any Skill Point and cannot trigger this effect again. If the target has been defeated before this additional Skill is used, it will be dealt to a random enemy unit.
Technique: Hue of the Opened Pupil (Impair)
Using the Technique will cause enemies in a set area to enter the Terrified state. Terrified enemies will flee in a direction away from Anaxa for 10 second(s). If entering battle via actively attacking a Terrified enemy, Anaxa will apply 1 Weakness of the attacker's Type to every enemy target after entering battle, lasting for 3 turn(s).
Anaxa's Signature Light Cone
Life Should Be Cast to Flames
HP:953 ATK:582 DEF:529
Effect: Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 18%. Wearer regenerates 10 Energy at the start of each turn. When the wearer uses an ability that applies a debuff (like Weaknesses), enemies hit have their DEF reduced by 6% for 2 turns, stacking up to 2 times (max 12% DEF reduction).
This Light Cone synergizes with Anaxa’s Weakness-focused kit, boosting his damage output and enabling more frequent Ultimates, while the DEF shred enhances team-wide damage against debuffed enemies.
Anaxa’s Traces
Bonus Abilities
Trace 1:The Wandering Signifier
When using Basic Attack, additionally regenerates 10 energy. If there are no enemy targets in Exposed Nature state at the start of the turn, Anaxa regenerates 25 energy.
Trace 2: Valley-Fallen Blaze
Based on the number of characters on the path of Erudition in the team, Anaxa triggers the following effects in the current battle:
1: Increases Anaxa's CRIT DMG by 140%.
2 and more: Increases DMG dealt by all allies by 30%.
Trace 3: The Transmuted Quality
For every different Weakness Type an enemy target has, the Damage that Anaxa deals to that target ignores 3% of Defense up to a maximum of 7 Weakness types.
Stat Boosts
DEF: 22.5%
CRIT Rate: 6%
Wind DMG Boost: 22.4%
Anaxa’s Eidolons
E1: Star-Concealing Moon's Magician
After using Skill for the first time, recovers 1 Skill Point(s). When any enemy targets are hit by this unit's Skill, decreases the targets' DEF by 16% for 2 turn(s).
This is a good early Eidolon for overall team synergy, especially for DPS units that rely on DEF shred. It's a practical boost that improves his support role while keeping him viable in longer battles.
E2: True History's Natural Person
Ultimate additionally deals 3 instance(s) of DMG, with each instance dealing Wind DMG equal to 50% of Anaxa's ATK to one random enemy. Increases this unit's SPD by 12% for 2 turn(s) after using their Ultimate.
This improves his Skill Point economy and turn cycling, allowing him to act more frequently. It's a useful boost for sustaining his enhanced skill triggers and applying pressure with Weakness application.
E3: Void-Etched Iris
Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.
A standard Eidolon progression, enhancing his Ultimate’s potency and slightly improving his Basic Attack.
E4: Valley-Fallen Blaze
When using Skill, increases ATK by 40% for 2 turn(s). This effect can stack up to 3 time(s).
This is a standout team buff, making Anaxa a valuable support for crit-reliant DPS. (For example, The Herta or Jing Yuan) It’s especially potent in AoE-heavy content like Pure Fiction, where crit consistency matters.
E5: Embryo Beyond the Centrifugal Spiral
Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Another standard upgrade, boosting his Skill’s AoE damage and Talent’s Weakness-stacking efficiency.
E6: All Things Are Within Everything
Each instance of inflicting the "Ascension" state in a single battle permanently increases Anaxa's DMG dealt in that battle, with the increase value equal to 3% of the original DMG, up to 5 stacks.
A significant self-damage boost, turning Anaxa into a formidable hypercarry against heavily debuffed enemies. This upgrade focus entirely on his output, which makes it ideal for players who want to run him as a main DPS or sub-DPS in modes like Pure Fiction or Memory of Chaos with multiple targets.
However, it sacrifices the team-wide utility of earlier Eidolons, so it’s less appealing if you’re using him purely as a support.
Is Anaxa Worth Pulling?
Based on his leaked kit and the current meta, he has the potential to be a flexible DPS with high support utility. When weighing his pull value, various factors can be considered. Below are some simple explanations that we hope you find useful.
Why Anaxa Might Be Worth Pulling
Unique Weakness Application & AoE Damage Potential
Anaxa’s ability to apply all seven Weakness types (Physical, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Quantum, Imaginary) via his Ultimate while stacking up to 7 unique Weaknesses through his Talent. This makes him a Swiss Army knife for Weakness Break-focused content.
In addition, His Skill and Enhanced Skill (triggered by hitting enemies with 7 Weaknesses) deal bouncing Wind DMG without Skill Point costs, offering high damage uptime and making him a powerhouse at higher investment.
Team Flexibility
His Eidolons and kit provide team-wide benefits, pairing well with DPS like The Herta, Jing Yuan, or break-effect specialists like Firefly. And his Weakness application can set up allies to shine, especially in diverse elemental teams.
Future-Proofing & F2P Viability
Anaxa’s versatility could keep him relevant long-term. His Signature Light Cone, "Life Could Be Cast to Flames," with CRIT Rate, Energy Regen, and DEF shred, also scales well with future Erudition supports.
On the other hand, He is still playable at E0 with a free-to-play Light Cone such as "The Seriousness of Breakfast" (which increases ATK and DMG). Unlike other characters, his kit does not appear to be excessively reliant on Eidolons for basic mechanics.
Why You Might Skip Anaxa
Overlap with Existing Characters & Investment Costs
If you have a good AoE DPS, Anaxa might feel unnecessary unless you need his Weakness ability. Silver Wolf handles single-target Weakness, while Anaxa excels in AoE fights, which may not always matter to you.
To maximize his potential, Anaxa benefits from Effect Hit Rate for reliable Weakness application, ATK and CRIT stats. His E6 and Signature Light Cone make him a top DPS, but it’s pricey for non-whales. Without big investment, he may lag behind simpler DPS characters.
Content Dependency & Banner Timing
His worth depends on enemies. If Version 3.2’s content doesn’t focus on multi-Weakness Breaks, his kit might be excessive. Single-target bosses in Memory of Chaos could favor Nihility or Destruction over Erudition style. Besides, if you’re saving for reruns or another upcoming character, Anaxa might not fit your plans.
Conclusion
In summary, based on Anaxa’s leaked information reveals his unique potential as a Wind Erudition character in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 where he excels in AoE damage and Weakness application, making him a eagerly awaited addition to any lineup.
