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.

2PCIncreases ATK by 12%.

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%.
