Anaxa is the next 5-star character being introduced in Honkai Star Rail! Also called Anaxagoras the blasphemer, he is the Chrysos Heir who challenged the Coreflame of Reason. He will be featured on the event banner from April 30 to May 20, 2025.
Anaxa is a Wind character who follows the Path of Erudition. Every attack he deals will implant a random weakness on an enemy. You can stack multiple weaknesses on a single enemy. His ultimate will put all the enemies in the Sublimation state. This state will inflict them with weaknesses to ALL elements. His skill, on the other hand, is a powerful AOE attack: he hits a single target and the attack reflects to other enemies. This can hit multiple times.
When enemies have enough weaknesses, they enter the Qualitative Disclosure state. During this state, they receive increased DMG from Anaxa, and his skill is triggered one additional time.
