Anaxa’s signature Light Cone is set to be a powerful addition to the game, not only for its newest character but pre-existing cast members as well. An 18% Crit Rate bonus will be a sizable boost toErudition characters relying on Crit stats, while the energy regeneration will allow the wearer to spam their Ultimate more often. Debuff-focused characters will also appreciate teaming up with characters using the Light Cone, thanks to its additional DEF reduction. Anaxa’s signature Light Cone will release alongside his debut duringHonkai: Star Rail’s Version 3.2.
Anaxa’s release will bring another powerful Erudition option to players' teams since the launch of Amphoreus.
