What are the best light cones for Anaxa?
The best light cone for Anaxa is his signature five-star light cone, Life Should Be Cast to Flames. This cone is tailored specifically for his kit, granting him energy restoration, a huge damage buff, and allowing him to ignore enemy defense. If you happen to have a spare, The Herta's signature light cone is also a great fit, but you can use a whole range of the available four-star Erudition cones, too.
Here are the best light cones for Anaxa:
- Life Should Be Cast to Flames - limited five-star
- Into the Unreachable Veil - limited five-star
- The Great Cosmic Enterprise - four-star
- Today Is Another Peaceful Day - four-star
What are the best relics and planar ornaments for Anaxa?
The best relic set for Anaxa is Genius of Brilliant Stars, with two Rutilant Arena planar ornaments.
Genius of Brilliant Stars is particularly useful with Anaxa's signature light cone, as the kit works in tandem to let him ignore enemies' defense if they have an implanted quantum weakness and deal extra damage. Rutilant Arena is a great generic planar ornament set that boosts Anaxa's crit rate and skill damage, but Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm is best for dual DPS teams with another Erudition character, like The Herta.
These are the best relics for Anaxa:
- Genius of Brilliant Stars
- As Navigator Isee Sees It
These are the best planar ornament sets for Anaxa:
- Rutilant Arena
- Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm

What are Anaxa's priority skills?
You'll mostly be attacking with Anaxa's skill, so upgrade that first. Then, his talent and ultimate are both important for implanting weaknesses in the enemy team, so focus on those.

Who are Anaxa's voice actors?
Here are the actors who voice Anaxa in Honkai Star Rail:
- English - Stephen Fu
- Chinese - Qian Wenqing
- Japanese - Uchida Yuma
- Korean - Lee Sang-jun
Two of Anaxa's voice actors also voice other Hoyoverse characters. Stephen Fu voices Zenless Zone Zero's male protagonist, Wise, and Uchida Yuma is the Japanese voice of Genshin Impact's Kaveh. You might recognize Lee Sang-jun as the voice of Arknights: Endfield's male Endministrator, or as the Cookie Run Kingdom character, Starchy the Moletato.
