Recent leaks from Honkai: Star Rail offer a glimpse into the upcoming character, Anaxa, hinting at a diverse skillset. Anaxa, a Star Rail iteration of a Honkai Impact 3rd "Flame-Chaser," is poised to become a valuable asset to teams.
Early gameplay details suggest Anaxa will possess significant utility, including the ability to exploit enemy weaknesses – a feature reminiscent of Silver Wolf – and strategically delay enemy actions. Beyond support, Anaxa is also expected to contribute offensively, potentially reducing enemy defense and boosting damage for himself or his allies. A specific release date remains unconfirmed.
Anaxa's rumored abilities seem to blend the strengths of several popular Star Rail characters. His weakness application echoes Silver Wolf's flexibility, while his defense reduction mirrors Pela's utility. The enemy delay mechanic is a familiar feature seen in characters like Silver Wolf and Welt.
This combination of offensive and supportive capabilities positions Anaxa as a potentially dominant support character. Considering the current meta, dominated by supports like Ruan Mei and Robin, and the recent additions of Sunday and Fugue, Anaxa's arrival could significantly alter the game's balance. With Tribbie, a damage-focused support, also anticipated in Version 3.1, Anaxa's introduction promises exciting changes to Honkai: Star Rail's strategic landscape. The leaks suggest a powerful new support character is on the horizon.
