Honkai: Star Rail – Anaxa build and ascension guide

by

Unravel the authenticity of the world using the most optimal Anaxa build from Honkai: Star Rail, and gear up for your ascension. Anaxagoras the Wise is a 5-Star character, belonging to The Erudition faction and inflicting Wind damage, who excels in the application of Weakness Types.

With a knack for strategy that manifests in four distinct areas, Anaxa can impose a temporary random vulnerability on any foe struck by his assaults for three consecutive turns. Foes who possess five or more weaknesses will experience the Qualitative Exposure debuff, which amplifies the damage Anaxa inflicts upon them and triggers an additional activation of his skill (without using up a skill point) whenever he attacks them with either his basic attack or special ability.

In simpler terms, Anaxa’s skill, Fractal, Exile’s Fallacy, inflicts wind damage on one specific opponent that is based on his attack power. Then, it deals the same amount of damage to four random opponents in the battlefield. The more targets there are, the greater the skill’s damage increases.

His ultimate ability, titled “Sculpting Earth’s Rebirth,” transforms adversaries, causing them to undergo Sublimation, dealing Wind damage based on their attack power. This damage type also imposes all seven vulnerability types upon them, lasting until the start of their next turn. Additionally, if an enemy lacks Control Resistance, they will be unable to perform any actions while being affected by Sublimation.

Anaxa’s Phantom Forms, accumulated by acquiring multiple copies of him, offer additional enhancements.

Honkai: Star Rail – Anaxa: best Light Cones

As a gamer, I find myself greatly advantaged by my signature Light Cone, titled “Life Should Be Cast to Flames.” This badass tool of mine restores energy to me at the beginning of each turn, keeping me powered up and ready for action. Plus, it boosts the damage I inflict on foes who’ve got a vulnerability tagged by yours truly. But Talk about leaving a lasting impression!

With the aid of this Light Cone, Anaxa maintains optimal performance time, enhances his damage capabilities, and gains additional power to weaken adversaries.

Best Light Cones for Anaxa in HSR:

  • Life Should Be Cast to Flames (5-Star)
  • Into the Unreachable Veil (5-Star)
  • An Instant Before A Gaze (5-Star)

Honkai: Star Rail – Anaxa: best Relics

Anaxa’s main focus is increasing his Attack (ATK) and Critical Rate, with a preference for ATK as the Imperative Hiatus Trace already offers a substantial amount of Critical Damage (CRIT DMG). However, don’t neglect his other important aspects like Critical Damage, Energy Regeneration, and Speed. It’s crucial to make Anaxa move early so he can apply Weaknesses and inflict debuffs before the rest of your team takes action.

As a gamer, I leverage Anaxa’s ability to embed Quantum Weakness in my foes, which allows me to tap into the formidable power of the Brilliant Stars Genius set and its DEF bypass. However, the Quantum DMG boost it provides doesn’t directly benefit me.

Best Relic Sets for Anaxa in HSR:

  • Scholar Lost in Erudition (4) – +8% CRIT Rate, +20% Skill and Ultimate DMG; +25% Skill DMG for the next Skill use after casting an Ultimate.
  • Genius of Brilliant Stars (4) – +10% Quantum DMG, wearer ignores 10% DEF when attacking enemy targets; wearer ignores an additional 10% DEF when attacking foes with Quantum Weakness.

Best Planar Ornaments for Anaxa in HSR:

  • Rutilant Arena (2) – +8% CRIT Rate, +20% Basic Attack and Skill DMG when the wearer’s CRIT Rate is 70% or higher.
  • Firmament Frontline: Glamoth (2) – +12% ATK, +12%/18% more damage when the wearer surpasses 135/160 SPD.

Best stats for Anaxa in HSR:

  • Head – HP (Primary), CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, SPD, ATK %
  • Hands – ATK (Primary), CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, SPD, ATK %
  • Body – CRIT Rate (Primary), CRIT DMG, SPD, ATK %, Break Effect
  • Feet – SPD (Primary), CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK %, Break Effect

Honkai: Star Rail – Anaxa: best teams

In simpler terms, Anaxa stands out as a strong Sub-DPS character for Erudition teams because of his unique ability called Imperative Hiatus Trace. Moreover, he’s versatile and can be useful in various team setups due to his Weakness Type Implant.

  • The Herta (Main DPS), Anaxa (Sub DPS), Silver Wolf (Support), Lingsha (Support)

Anaxa makes an excellent ally for The Herta, whether you’re looking to elevate your 4-Star Herta or require Jade for a different squad. His area-of-effect damage is perfect for filling up The Herta’s Ultimate meter, and the way he counters weakness types is invaluable. Additionally, his Imperative Hiatus Trace offers significant Critical Damage increase for himself and overall damage boost to the team if there are at least two characters with high intellect (Erudition).

Because Anaxa inflicts extra damage on targets with Weakness Types, the Silver Wolf, about to receive a boost, is an excellent team member. Moreover, Tribbie, Trailblazer (Remembrance), and Ruan Mei are powerful Support characters for The Herta. Lastly, Lingsha or Huohuo make ideal healers to round off this party.

Anaxa is equally beneficial to Acheron squads, since his debilitating effects aid in charging up his Ultimate. In a high-damage team setup, Anaxa can serve as the primary damage dealer alongside characters such as Sunday, Robin, Bronya, or Sparkle, who function as his support.

Ethereal Omen is a readily available resource that you can farm through your Daily Assignments to your characters, providing a consistent supply of this material. A Glass of the Besotted Era can be obtained by defeating the Stagnant Shadow (Penacony Grand Theater) or through exchange. The primary source for Credits are the Golden Calyxes scattered across various worlds.

Anaxa requires the following materials to upgrade his combat abilities and Traces:

To review, the materials you need – Rough Sketch, Dynamic Outlining, and Exquisite Colored Draft – can all be found at the Crimson Calyx (Penacony Grand Theater). As a reminder, you’ll find the higher-level materials by processing lower-level ones in the Omni-Synthesizer, which is available on the Astral Express.

The scarce material known as “Lost Echo of the Shared Wish” is exclusively acquired from the “Echo of War” domain (Penacony Grand Theater). Conversely, “Tracks of Destiny” can be obtained during limited-time events such as the Embers Exchange, Nameless Honor, or by earning Simulated Universe Points.
