Anaxa is a Wind Erudition character in Honkai: Star Rail who specializes in toughness reduction by implanting weaknesses into enemies. Unlike Silverwolf, who reduces elemental resistance on top of implanting weakness however, Anaxa’s implant strictly focus on diminishing enemy toughness, but it also enables him to ignore enemy DEF, with the amount of it is based on the number of weaknesses applied. This makes him a formidable damage dealer who combines offensive capability with valuable utility.

4 hidden chests can be found by searching for Chirping Secrets in Honkai: Star Rail.
Additional to him applying weaknesses, his ascension trace Imperative Hiatus, also offers Anaxa flexibility in team compositions. He can be used as a hyper carry when he is the sole Erudition character on the team, or as a sub-DPS alongside The Herta in dual-DPS setups. This is because he can either gain a massive 140% increase to his CRIT DMG when only one Erudition character is present, or a 50% DMG boost for all allies when there are at least two.
Anaxa’s build will vary slightly depending on whether he is used as a hypercarry or sub-DPS, primarily for the ideal Relic option, while the sub-stats, planar or light cone options won't be as impacted. Here are the best build options for Anaxa for both roles in Honkai: Star Rail.

Best Anaxa Relics In Honkai: Star Rail
Depending on whether players plan to utilize Anaxa as a hypercarry or as a sub-DPS for The Herta team—especially considering whether they intend to pull for his signature Light Cone and how invested their The Herta is—there are some differences in the best relic options for Anaxa. Despite Genius of Brilliant Stars being a Quantum-oriented relic, its 4-piece set bonus is exceptionally strong because it allows the wearer to ignore DEF and grants an additional DEF reduction as long as the enemy has a Quantum weakness. Since Anaxa can implant weaknesses into enemies, he can consistently ignore 20% DEF on any target, which synergizes well with his kit that focuses on DEF ignore/ reduction. Especially when combined with Anaxa's signature Light Cone, players can expect him to deal significant damage to each enemy in a hypercarry Anaxa team composition, being his best option.
On the other hand, players who won't pull for his signature Light Cone, prefer a more generalist build, or aim to use Anaxa as a sub-DPS to The Herta will benefit more from Eagle of Twilight Line. This relic set not only increases Anaxa’s Wind DMG but also allows him to advance his action forward after using his Ultimate, enabling him to take additional turns. This leads to increased AoE DMG overall and aids The Herta in regenerating energy, enhancing team synergy in dual-DPS setups.
Honkai: Star Rail – Tribbie Team Composition Guide
As a generalist Harmony character, Tribbie team comp in Honkai: Star Rail has massive possibilities, although some teams can enhance her kit further.
For players uninterested in farming these relatively older sets—especially since few other characters currently benefit from them or their paired relic sets—there are two generalist alternatives. The first is Scholar Lost in Erudition, which provides Anaxa with a Crit Rate boost as well as DMG increases to both his Ultimate and Skill, which are vital parts of his kit. Alternatively, Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters is another solid choice, as the weakness implants Anaxa applies count as debuffs, allowing him to deal increased DMG. Ultimately, players should prioritize farming whichever set offers the most valuable sub-stats for Anaxa, as these will contribute more significantly to his overall performance. Among the alternatives, players will notice little DMG difference in terms of set bonus effects, making optimized sub-stats the key factor to consider.
When it comes to Anaxa's best Planar Ornament options, players may notice that the optimal choice is more dependent on the content he is used in rather than his role in the team. Generally speaking, Rutilant Arena remains his best option, regardless of whether Anaxa is played as a hypercarry or sub-DPS. This is due to its Crit Rate and Skill DMG bonuses, which synergize well with his kit.
Alternatively, for sub-DPS setups—particularly in dual DPS or two Erudition team compositions—Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm is a strong choice. This option boosts Crit Rate, enabling players to prioritize Crit DMG in their relic sub-stats for higher damage potential overall. For hypercarry setups, however, Firmament Frontline: Glamoth provides a significant increase to ATK, which pairs exceptionally well with Anaxa’s preference for SPD boots to take more turns in battle. Lastly, Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation is a notable option for Pure Fiction content, offering additional Crit DMG boosts that Anaxa can reliably stack by defeating enemies efficiently.
Anaxa's build is straightforward, resembling most ATK-scaling DPS characters. For both hypercarry and sub-DPS roles, he benefits from Crit Rate Body or Crit DMG Body, with Crit Rate being more effective for hypercarry setups due to the 140% Crit DMG boost from his ascension trace. SPD Boots are ideal for both roles, ensuring consistent turns to maximize damage and apply weaknesses. For Planar Ornament stats, Wind DMG% or ATK% offer the best value, paired with an ATK% Link Rope to compensate for his low natural ATK generation. Especially if players equip him with his signature light cone, thanks to this combined with his ascension traces, he doesn't require Energy Regeneration Rate for the Link Rope. Sub-stats should prioritize Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK, and SPD.
Anaxa doesn't rely on excessively high SPD, but hitting specific breakpoints improves rotations and team synergy. Players should adjust SPD based on team needs while focusing on Crit and ATK for optimal results.

Best Anaxa Light Cones In Honkai: Star Rail
Anaxa's best Light Cone options can vary depending on his role in the team as either a hypercarry or a sub-DPS, though his top three choices remain consistent across both setups. His signature Light Cone, Life Should Be Cast to Flames, is unquestionably his best option. It regenerates energy for him, boosts DMG against enemies with weaknesses implanted by Anaxa, and decreases the target's DEF. However, this Light Cone's utility is limited to Anaxa himself, as most other Erudition characters do not implant weaknesses on their own nor benefit from its specific mechanics. This makes it particularly valuable for players planning to use Anaxa as a hypercarry. Additionally, the DEF reduction benefits all allies, solidifying its place as his BiS regardless of his role.
The next best choice for Anaxa in either composition is Into the Unreachable Veil, The Herta's signature Light Cone. It provides Crit Rate, high base ATK, and increases both Ultimate and Skill DMG, which synergizes well with Anaxa’s focus on Skill DMG. However, if players intend to pair Anaxa with The Herta, equipping this Light Cone on her instead will yield better overall results, leaving Anaxa to use an alternative. As a strong F2P option, the 4-star Light Cone The Great Cosmic Enterprise is highly recommended, obtainable through the HSR Second Anniversary Event at max superimposition. It is tailored for Anaxa, offering ATK% increases and additional DMG boosts based on the number of weaknesses enemies have.
For hypercarry setups where the above options are unavailable, Today is Another Peaceful Day provides a solid alternative. Though it is a Battle Pass Light Cone and not entirely F2P-friendly, it outperforms several 5-star options at high superimposition due to its generalist effects. For sub-DPS roles in The Herta team compositions, players can choose between Eternal Calculus and Night on the Milky Way, depending on enemy numbers. Eternal Calculus performs better with fewer than five enemies, while Night on the Milky Way excels when facing five or more targets. Both Light Cones increase ATK and offer relatively similar DMG benefits, making either viable depending on the battle scenario.
