A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail is providing early insights into the gameplay elements of the upcoming character Anaxa, suggesting that he will come equipped with a variety of useful abilities. As the launch of Amphoreus approaches, HoYoverse's sci-fi RPG has been teasing several new characters, including various versions of Honkai Impact 3rd's "Flame-Chasers." HoYoverse has already introduced four new characters slated for Amphoreus' initial patches: The Herta and Aglaea in Version 3.0, and Tribbie and Mydei in Version 3.1. Now, new leaks are giving us a glimpse into one of the future members of the Amphoreus roster.

While HoYoverse has kept details about the abilities of Amphoreus' upcoming characters under wraps, Honkai: Star Rail has hinted at the names of several new additions to its roster. The Amphoreus cast includes Star Rail adaptations of many popular characters from Honkai Impact 3rd, such as Phainon and Cyrene, who are Star Rail's versions of Kevin Kaslana and Elysia, respectively. Honkai: Star Rail often includes alternate versions of Honkai Impact 3rd characters, sharing names like Seele, Bronya, and Himeko. One such Flame-Chaser, Anaxa, is now the subject of early leaks.

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 that include the Flame-Chaser. His abilities include applying weaknesses similar to Silver Wolf and delaying enemy actions. Anaxa is also expected to bring offensive capabilities, such as reducing an enemy's defense and enhancing the damage output of his own or his allies' attacks. A release window for Anaxa has yet to be confirmed.

Anaxa's rumored abilities in Honkai: Star Rail seem to blend powerful aspects of several popular Star Rail characters. Silver Wolf has been a highly versatile choice for teams due to her ability to implant Weaknesses onto enemies based on her team's composition. Anaxa's reported DEF reduction mirrors the utility provided by Pela, while his ability to delay enemy actions is a mechanic utilized by characters like Silver Wolf and Welt.

The extensive utility offered by Anaxa positions him as one of Honkai: Star Rail's most impactful supportive characters. The game's meta has traditionally been shaped by top-tier supports like Ruan Mei and Robin, with the newly-released Sunday and Fugue gaining popularity. HoYoverse has also teased a powerful new support character coming in Version 3.1, with Tribbie expected to offer a more damage-focused style of support. Anaxa's early leaks indicate that he could significantly influence Honkai: Star Rail's meta upon his debut.
