Anaxa is the newest Erudition character – check out Anaxa’s best build, Relic Sets, Light Cones, and teams here.
Anaxagoras, or simply Anaxa, is now playable as we enter the second half of Honkai Star Rail version 3.2. He has the potential to be one of the best Erudition characters in the game right now and has great synergy with a lot of existing teams. See our detailed Anaxa build guide below for the best Relics, Teams, and Light Cones for him.
Anaxa build in Honkai Star Rail
Anaxa is a 5-star Wind character on the Path of Erudition. While he gets all the benefits of being an Erudition character, like his effectiveness against multiple enemies, Anaxa's kit can inflict all Elemental weaknesses on enemies. This allows teams to Break enemies quicker.
Which Anaxa Traces should you level up?
You should level up his Skill first, since this will be your bread and butter against waves of enemies. Next, you should level up his Ultimate to deal even more damage. His Talent follows, allowing him to deal more damage to enemies that he has added the singular weaknesses to. Leveling his Basic ATK is optional - you can leave this in the lower levels if you're short on his materials.
Anaxa Relic Build: Sets and Stats
Anaxa wants to cast his Ultimate as much as possible while not dropping DMG and debuffs from his skill. Thus, you should aim for the following main stats:
- Body: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
- Feet: SPD
- Planar Sphere: Wind DMG% or ATK%
- Link Rope: Energy Regen Rate or ATK%
- Substats:
- Speed
- CRIT DMG% or CRIT Rate
- ATK%
For his Relic Set, you can opt for either Eagle of Twilight Line or Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters.
4pc Eagle of Twilight Line
- 2pc: Increase Wind DMG by 10%
- 4pc: After the wearer uses Ultimate, their action is Advanced Forward by 25%
4pc Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters
- 2pc: Increases DMG dealt to enemies with debuff by 12%.
- 4pc: Increases CRIT Rate by 4%. The wearer deals 8%/12% increased CRIT DMG to enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs. After the wearer inflicts a debuff on enemy targets, the aforementioned effects increase by 100%, lasting for 1 turn.
For Anaxa's Planar Ornaments, Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm is the best option if there's another Erudition character in the party.

- Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 8%. When the wearer's current CRIT Rate reaches 70% or higher, the wearer's Basic ATK and Skill DMG increase by 20%.
Best Anaxa Light Cones
Premium pick: Life Should Be Cast To Flames
Of course, Anaxa's Signature Light Cone is his best in slot. It gives him Energy Regen and further boosts damage.
Free-to-play pick: The Great Cosmic Enterprise
This Light Cone is awarded for progressing in the Star Rail WORLD event and has great synergy with him since its damage scales with how many Weakness Types the enemy has.
Accessible pick: Today is Another Peaceful Day
At S5, this Light Cone is a competitive choice among all the Erudition Light Cones. It provides decent damage, and you probably already have this sitting in your inventory.
Best Anaxa teams
Anaxa really, really wants to be played with The Herta. Apart from the synergy of their kits, being with The Herta enables Anaxa to equip the Izumo Gensei Planar Set.
Then, the support/buffer position can be filled by either Robin or Tribbie. The sustain character can either be Lingsha or Aventurine, but Huohuo can also be a choice if you find yourself needing her Energy grant.
