Anaxa is a Wind Erudition damage dealer who implants a new random Weakness on enemies with every hit. Once a target has 5 or more Weakness types, it enters Qualitative Disclosure: he deals 30% more DMG to it and repeats his Skill for free after each Basic ATK or Skill. He works both as a hypercarry and as The Herta's best Erudition partner, since with two Erudition characters his A4 raises the whole team's DMG by 50%.

Relics
As Navigator Isee Sees It
×4
Prydwen's best in slot as main DPS: his free extra Skills keep the stacks up, even more so with Cerydra. Prydwen's runner-up for hypercarry is Wavestrider Captain (4-piece), when Cyrene and Cerydra target him every turn.
Set effects
2pIncreases ATK by 12%.
4pWhen 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.
Genius of Brilliant Stars
×4
Game8's top pick, especially with his signature: he implants Quantum Weakness himself, so the extra DEF ignore is always active.
Set effects
2pIncreases Quantum DMG by 10%.
4pWhen the wearer deals DMG to the target enemy, ignores 10% DEF. If the target enemy has Quantum Weakness, the wearer additionally ignores 10% DEF.
Eagle of Twilight Line
×4
Best next to The Herta: an action advance after each Ultimate means more attacks and more Energy for her.
Set effects
2pIncreases Wind DMG by 10%.
4pAfter the wearer uses their Ultimate, their action is Advanced Forward by 25%.
Scholar Lost in Erudition
×4
Easy to farm generic option with CRIT Rate and Skill/Ultimate DMG.

Planar ornaments
Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm
×2
Best with another Erudition teammate (The Herta, Himeko • Nova): a big CRIT Rate bonus. Does nothing in hypercarry.
Set effects
2pIncreases 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%.
Rutilant Arena
×2
Generic choice that works in any team, including hypercarry.
Set effects

Teams
Recommended teams
Hypercarry
His best hypercarry team on both sites: Cerydra duplicates his Skills, Cyrene grants him extra actions, Skill Points and bounces, and Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae shields the team while buffing his ATK.
Double Erudition
The classic partnership: his double Skills generate huge Energy and Interpretation for The Herta, both Erudition Traces activate (+50% team DMG, +80% team CRIT DMG), and Tribbie buffs both damage dealers at once.
Budget
Free support team: the Trailblazer (Remembrance) adds CRIT DMG and True DMG, Asta speeds him up and Lynx heals.
Guide
How to play
How he works
- Weakness implant (Talent). Each hit implants 1 random Weakness type for 3 turns, prioritizing types the enemy doesn't have yet. His Skill hits 5 times (70% ATK each, bouncing to enemies not yet hit first), so targets reach 5 Weakness types very quickly — and your whole team can then break any enemy.
- Qualitative Disclosure. Enemies with 5+ Weakness types take 30% more DMG from Anaxa, and after he uses a Basic ATK or Skill on them, he casts one extra Skill for free (no Skill Point, can't chain).
- Skill. Gains 20% DMG for each attackable enemy on the field when cast.
- Ultimate (140 Energy). Inflicts Sublimation on all enemies: they gain all 7 Weakness types until the start of their turn, and enemies without Control RES cannot act. Then deals AoE Wind DMG.
- Imperative Hiatus (A4). With only one Erudition character, Anaxa gains 140% CRIT DMG; with two or more, all allies deal 50% more DMG.
- Other Traces. Roaming Signifier (A2): Basic ATK regenerates 10 more Energy, and he gains 30 Energy at the start of his turn if no enemy is in Qualitative Disclosure. Qualitative Shift (A6): ignores 4% DEF per Weakness type on the target (up to 28%).
Rotation
- Use his Technique: the enemies you engage receive a Weakness of the attacker's type.
- Use his Skill each turn: once targets are in Qualitative Disclosure, every Skill becomes two.
- When short on Skill Points, a Basic ATK on a Qualitative Disclosure target still triggers a free Skill and gives extra Energy.
- Cast the Ultimate every two turns or so, for damage and as crowd control against dangerous enemy actions.
Tips
- His Weakness implants make Tribbie's RES PEN even better: together they brute-force enemies that aren't weak to your team.
- In hypercarry teams, Cerydra lets him duplicate his Skill for bursts of up to 4 Skills in a single turn.
Strengths
- Works as a main DPS or as a second DPS
- Implants all 7 Weakness types very fast, letting the whole team break any enemy
- Strong single-target damage and Toughness damage for an Erudition character
- Guaranteed crowd control that disrupts enemy extra actions
- Flexible rotation: can Basic ATK and still keep a 2-turn Ultimate cycle
Weaknesses
- Underwhelming AoE scaling for an Erudition character
- Faces competition both as a Weakness implanter and as an Erudition partner
