As strange as they may seem, the leaks about Anaxa’s Path inHonkai: Star Rail3.2 may actually make a lot of sense – not to players, specifically, but to HoYoverse.Anaxa is confirmed to be one of the Chrysos Heirs, the heroes from Amphoreus who are destined to defeat the Titans and reclaim their Coreflames. Anaxa hasn’t been confirmed as a playable character just yet, but leaks indicate they will be released soon, as they have already been teased as one of the manyAmphoreus characters inHonkai: Star Rail.
So far, the leaks about Anaxa have revealed some intriguing details about their possible gameplay kit.This includes rumors that they will be able to inflict Weaknesses on enemies, much like Silver Wolf, but they will allegedly be able to target all enemies at once rather than individually like the Stellaron Hunter. For now, the leaks aboutAnaxa’s kit inHonkai: Star Railhave been inconclusive and there’s still a lot of discussion about them, including what Path they will follow.
Anaxa May Follow The Path Of The Erudition In Honkai: Star Rail
The Character Was Originally Rumored To Follow The Nihility
Anaxa was first believed to be a new Nihility character, mainly because of their rumored ability to inflict Weaknesses on enemies – debuffs are the core of Nihility characters, and Silver Wolf herself, who applies Weaknesses, is a Nihility character.However, it seems like Anaxa will actually follow the Path of the Erudition inHonkai: Star Rail, as indicated in the information provided by the leaker known as Uncle 097. The leak was shared in a post flagged as “Questionable” onReddit.
Honkai Star Rail 3.2 Leaks: New MoC Mechanic May Push For Anaxa
Memory of Chaos may get a new gameplay mechanic in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 that should be perfect for Anaxa, a rumored new Amphoreus character.
If this is true, then it should be a somewhat strange choice from HoYoverse. As a character focused on applying Weaknesses, it makes more sense if Anaxa were a Nihility character.However, as an Erudition character, Anaxa would be seen as a multi-target DPS. While it’s unknown exactly how much damage they will deal to opponents, it could be said that their rumored ability to apply Weaknesses to all enemy targets would be enough to insert them in the Erudition category, alongside units likeThe Herta inHonkai: Star Rail. However, there may actually be a reasonable explanation for this.
Anaxa’s Leaked Alignment To Erudition Could Be A Strategy In Honkai: Star Rail
The Herta Would Benefit From The New Amphoreus Character
Anaxa’s rumored status as an Erudition character may actually be a way for HoYoverse to maintain The Herta’s value.The 5-star Ice Erudition character who was released in Version 3.0 benefits from additional Erudition characters in her team, and Anaxa would be a superb Erudition support for her. While The Herta would operate as a main DPS, fueled by Anaxa, the upcoming character would contribute with debuffs targeting all enemies and possibly serving as a sub-DPS inHonkai: Star Rail.
Honkai Star Rail Leaks: Upcoming Amphoreus Character May Be Yet Another Surprise For Welt
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak has put the spotlight on an Amphoreus character design, which may resemble yet another figure from Welt’s past.
Additionally, if Anaxa were a Nihility character, they could possibly make Acheron too strong, especially if the rumors about their all-target Weakness application are true.Anaxa would empower an older character, take the focus away from the game’s most recent playable characters, and possibly make players unwilling to pull for other new charactersfromAmphoreus inHonkai: Star Rail.
If this is truly the case, then HoYoverse is playing its cards right when it comes to monetizing on hype and its new releases. As much as Acheron is strong, incentivizing players to pull for new characters would result in extra revenue for them, and Anaxa could be a perfect tool to guarantee The Herta’s longevity and incentive players to pull for Anaxa themselves. If the leaks are true, Anaxa will be released inHonkai: Star Rail3.2.
