Hero's story

Anaxa is one of the representatives of the faction "Golden Descendants", who is destined to complete a test tied to the prophecy of the planet Amphoraeus. First appears as part of the Exploration story campaign, in the missions of the second chapter demigoddess Aglaya.

It is considered an embodiment Titan of Creation Kerkes, which takes as its basis such concepts as "reason" and "wisdom". As part of the prophecy, he must take possession of the Flame Core of Reason, which is presumably located on the territory of The mumbling thickets of the Grove of Muses - a zone that was created around a majestic tree and is a “citadel” of researchers and scientists.

His second name refers to the real ancient Greek philosopher Anaxagoras, who became the founder of the theory of the origin of the cosmos. This detail was embodied in the image of the hero through external elements and details. As for the character - gold of wisdom is distinguished by his detachment and high level of skepticism regarding the prophecy operating on the “Eternal Land”, which is why he was nicknamed a “blasphemer”, ready to drive the thorns of doubt into the sacred tree of wisdom.

Looks like

Anaxa is a tall, muscular adult male with fair, pale skin, bright blue eyes with a violet pupil, and long, loose gray hair that is tied into a ponytail on one side.

The design of the clothes is quite unusual: a strict dark suit with a white aristocratic shirt with a bib, as well as a black tailcoat with a long hem. The man's left eye is covered with a bandage. The scientist wears a lot of jewelry: rings, straps, rivets and an earring made of a precious stone. The overall color palette of the outfit is black and white with details of blue and gray.

How Anax's Skills Work in HSR

As an Erudite character, he performs the usual function for this class - dealing damage in an area. A significant advantage is superpower, which when activated exposes enemies to the effect of "Sublimation", which provokes the imposition of all types of vulnerabilities - physical, fire, ice, electric, wind, quantum and imaginary. This feature significantly simplifies the age of content tied to the elimination of waves of enemies, in cooperation with other characters with the same AoE potential.

For example, the unit will be a great addition to squads where there is Himeko (Erudition: Fire), whose talent is tied to the accumulation of "Charges" lvl through frequent penetration of enemy targets' vulnerabilities.

Taking into the character's "Traces", it is important to note the work hidden talent "Necessary Gap", which grants either Anaxa or his squad additional positive bonuses depending on the number of Erudite representatives in the group. It follows that the character is not only narrowly focused within the framework of closing high-level modes, but also limited to teams where he can be used comfortably.

Active skills

The hero's active abilities include:

• technique - puts enemies into a state of "Horror", when entering combat imposes a new type of vulnerability;
• basic attack - a single hit that rarely appears in rotation;
• skill — a mass attack that hits multiple targets: damage increases depending on the number of opponents on the field - accordingly, the more targets, the higher the damage;
• superpower - deals damage, imposes all types of vulnerabilities.

Next, we will present a description of the skills, additionally considering the hidden talents of the character and the side benefits that open up with the acquisition of eidolons. In addition, we will designate skill leveling order, to get an idea of ​​which abilities are prioritized in of Ascension Material costs.

ive skills

ive skills, in turn, include: талант, which is responsible for imposing additional types of vulnerabilities and provokes the emergence of a special negative state.

The order of leveling abilities

Talent ≥ superpower > skill > basic attack

В talent и superpowers The most important advantages of the hero as a representative of the Erudition, specializing not only in causing damage, but also in spreading various negative effects, are fixed. Accordingly, the named skills in the priority key are raised to the maximum level.

The next most important ability is skill, which concentrates the main personal damage of the character. In turn, resources are either not invested in the basic attack at all, or are invested, but after the previously discussed skills have been elevated. The reason is that the strike is rarely "scrolled" in the unit's rotation and mainly serves only to restore action points during combat.

Tracks

All traces of Anaxa:

Wind damage +3.2% (lvl 1)
"The Wandering Pointer" (A2): Using a basic attack additionally restores 10 energy. At the start of the turn, if there are no enemies with the "Manifestation of Qualities" status on the battlefield, the character immediately restores 30 energy.	Crete. chance +2.7% (A2)	Wind damage +3.2% (A3)	Max. HP +4.0% (A3)
"A Necessary Break" (A4): Depending on the number of Erudite characters in the party, 1 of the following effects is activated in the current battle: 1 hero - or the unit's critical damage increases by 140%; 2 heroes or more - or the damage of all allies is increased by 50%.	Wind damage +4.8% (A4)	Crete. chance +4.0% (A5)	Wind damage +4.8% (A5)
"Qualitative Shift" (A6): For each vulnerability type the enemy has, damage dealt to that target by the hero ignores 4% of their defense. This effect can count up to 7 vulnerability types.	Max. HP +5.3% (A6)
Crete. chance +5.3% (lvl 75)	Wind damage +6.4% (lvl 80)

Total increase in characteristics after studying all hidden talents:

• bonus to wind damage - + 22.4 %
• crit chance - + 12.0 %
• max health - + 9.3 %

Eidolons

All the hero's consts are presented in the table:

E1	The first use of the skill restores 1 skill point. Using "Fractal Banishes Delusions" to attack an enemy decreases their defense by 16% for 2 turns.
E2	When enemies enter combat, the effect of adding vulnerability described in the character's talent is activated 1 time, and all types of resistance of these enemies are reduced by 20%.
E3	Skill level +2. Max level - 15. Base attack level +1. Max level is 10.
E4	Using the skill increases attack power by 30% for 2 turns. This effect can stack up to 2 times.
E5	Superpower level +2. Max level - 15. Talent level +2. Max level - 15.
E6	The damage dealt by the character becomes equal to 130% of the initial damage. Both effects of the Necessary Rupture trail can be activated regardless of the number of Erudite characters in the party.

Anax's best eidolons are first, second и sixth:

• E1 и E2 — effects that can be used not only by the hero himself, but also by his squad. Reduced defense and resistance to all types of damage are significant negative bonuses that will be useful both in the context of ing permanent content (Exploration missions, corrosion caves, etc.), and updated high-level content.
• E6 - the best const that increases the character's personal damage and removes the limitation from the hidden talent "Necessary Rupture", thereby expanding the combat potential of the unit.

F2P players looking to collect Eidolons are advised to stick with second conste.

How to play as Anax

The main advantages of the considered representative of Erudition in battle are the "Manifestation of Qualities" effect from the talent and the "Sublimation" status from the superpower. The highest percentage of damage, in turn, is concentrated in the skill. Given these gameplay features, the following recommendations can be highlighted when building Anax's rotation:

1. In addition to other characters' techniques, activate them before entering battle. "Pupil Prism" technique, and then attack the enemy.
2. Give it to the hero in turn priority to skill, which not only deals area damage, but also helps activate the talent bonus more effectively.
3. When attacking again, give preference to targets under the Manifest Qualities status to gain skill charges and subsequently use Fractal Banishes Delusions again, but this time without spending action points.
4. The debuff spread by the ultimate skill ends at the beginning of the enemy's turn. Accordingly, the use of the super ability occurs after all enemies have performed their action. Otherwise, the squad will not be able to fully benefit from the debuff.
5. Alternate between using the skill and the superpower. Use "Pain Brings Truth" only if you need to restore skill points for the subsequent activation of a more powerful strike by the main damage dealer of the squad.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's look at the character's strengths and weaknesses:

Advantages	Disadvantages
One of the best legendary heroes of Erudition in the squads where there is Great Hertha (Erudition: Ice). Characters complement each other with bonuses built into their skills and hidden talents.	As a primary damage dealer, he requires serious investments: signature light cone, top-tier Harmony representatives, well-chosen relics.
Ability to impose new types of vulnerabilities on enemies: while Silver Wolf (Nonexistence: Quantum) can only 1 vulnerability, Anaxa can up to 7.	If not considered as a for Great Hertha, he can be replaced with other more comfortable DPS heroes that were released in earlier patches to complete various content.
High AoE potential coupled with good single target damage makes him an attractive character for completing various types of endgame activities.
The availability of equipment alternatives among epic and even legendary light cones, due to which there is no longer a “dependence” on signature weapons, as is the case with some other DPS units.
Both a damage dealer, a buffer, and a debuffer: good at dealing damage, lowers enemy defense, and increases DPS of all allies when the conditions of the "Necessary Rupture" trail are met.

As a DPS unit in a squad, he needs some boosts to his standard combat stats - crit damage, Crete. chance, attack power и wind damage. Third-party indicators (HP, defense, resistance to control effects) responsible for survivability are necessary, but are often increased due to secondary increases, so they are relegated to the background in of priority.

Given the variety of Light Cones, Cave Relic Sets, and Planar Jewelry Sets available in the game, it's hard to know which Anaxa build in XSR is the best. In the following sections, we'll take a closer look at what gear to choose, with an additional focus on the optimal stat value when reaching max level.

Squad Guide for Anaxa in HSR

The hero mainly shows himself well within the framework of the age "Pure Fiction" and various farm activities, cooperating with other strong DPS representatives. Thus, we can conclude that his role in the team is a damage dealer with functions (debuffer/buffer), although the position of an independent DD unit is not alien to him, if there are good s.

In turn, the limitations inherent in the "Necessary Gap" trace, in order to reveal full effectiveness, force the group to be built around several representatives of the Erudite (+1, in addition to Anaxa himself). It follows that the number of "best" characters for the hero is greatly reduced. The groups in which he can feel comfortable are also limited.

Which characters are suitable?

Among the DPS units, the most attractive are:

The representatives of the Void, responsible for the spread of negative statuses, are standard. The heroes of Harmony, in turn, are narrowed down to those units who are able to maintain positive effects on several characters at once - this is due to the fact that often Anaxa plays a secondary DPS role and must share bonuses with the group's main damage dealer:

However, if the hero takes the hyper-carry position, the following s become important:

Examples of the best teams

Let's look at squad options, including F2P examples with epic and free units:

Is it worth knocking out Anax?

Anaxa is a character with high AoE potential, which will be useful in battles against multiple waves of enemies. The hero has good area damage and will be an excellent legendary replacement for epic units used to "Pure Fiction". Due to the abundance of suitable equipment, it is quite easy to assemble; as part of pumping up the characteristics, it requires investments in the standard list of combat stats - critical indicators, attack power, bonus to wind damage.

Overall, it will be a good purchase, especially if the has Fire HimekoFor this reason, whether to spend the limited supply of Special Star es on him or not is a choice of the player who has taken into the gameplay and animations of the Zlatius scientist.

Which is better: signal or E1

Compared to the first Eidolon, which restores 1 Action Point upon first use of the skill and reduces Defense by 16% after using the skill, the signature light cone "Life Cast into Flame" offers:

• 10 energy at the start of the owner's turn;
• Increases damage by 60-100% if the enemy has a vulnerability imposed by the owner;
• Reduces defense by 12-24% when the owner attacks an enemy.

Like the first constant, the signature helps to reduce the enemy's defense, however, in addition to this bonus, it also affects the restoration of energy and increases the outgoing damage. Accordingly, when choosing between E1 and signature, it is recommended to give preference to the second option.
