What Combat Type is Anaxa?

Anaxa is a 5-star Wind character on the Path of Erudition, from Amphoreus, released in version 3.2.

What stat does Anaxa scale on?

Anaxa's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Skill and Ultimate, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best Light Cone for Anaxa?

Flickering Stars is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star Erudition Light Cone with 635 base ATK at level 80, and its passive acts on ATK. A Dream Scented in Wheat is the best 4-star alternative.

Which relic set should Anaxa use?

Hero of Triumphant Song. Its 2-piece bonus is: Increases ATK by 12%. Its 4-piece bonus is: While the wearer's memosprite is on the field, increases the wearer's SPD by 6%. When the wearer's memosprite attacks, increases the wearer's and memosprite's CRIT DMG by 30%, lasting for 2 turn(s).

Which Planar Ornament should Anaxa use?

Firmament Frontline: Glamoth. Its 2-piece bonus is: Increases the wearer's ATK by 12%. When the wearer's SPD is equal to or higher than 135/160, the wearer deals 12%/18% more DMG. Planar Ornaments have no 4-piece bonus; the sphere and the rope are the whole set.

How much does it cost to max Anaxa's traces?

Taking one ability from level 1 to 10 costs 652,500 Credits and 2× Tracks of Destiny among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

What does Anaxa E1 do?

Magician, Isolated by Stars: After using Skill for the first time, recovers 1 Skill Point(s). When using Skill to hit enemy targets, decreases the targets' DEF by 16%, lasting for 2 turn(s).

Best in slot for main DPS Anaxa where his extra Skills can help maintain maximum stacks of the buff, better if paired with Cerydra for Skill duplication.

4PCWhen the wearer enters combat or uses Skill, the DMG dealt by their Skill and Ultimate increases by 18%, stacking up to 3 time(s). At the start of the wearer's turn or after using Ultimate, removes 1 stack(s) of this effect.

CoreIzumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm

Anaxa is very often paired with another Erudition character, because of that, this set has no downside while also having a lot of CRIT RATE, one of his best stats. Note when playing Anaxa Hyper Carry (without another Erudition), this does NOT work.

2PCIncreases the wearer's ATK by 12%. When entering battle, if at least one teammate follows the same Path as the wearer, then the wearer's CRIT Rate increases by 12%.
