Honkai: Star Rail – Castorice Build And Team Guide

Castorice is the Chrysos Heir of Death in Amphoreus of Honkai: Star Rail, and here’s how you can build her to bring death upon your enemies.

The spotlight for the Version 3.2 update was on Castorice and Anaxa, with both of them being playable in the same version. Anaxa is a five-star Wind Erudition character who can work both as a main DPS and a support. However, to use him properly, you’ll have to pay a lot of attention on Anaxa’s build.

Complete Anaxa Build Guide

Before you start building Anaxa, you first have to get him from his limited banner by either winning the 50:50 or going for the guarantee. Once he’s in your account, you can equip him with the best light cones, relics, and planar ornaments available. For light cones, the best choice for Anaxa will be Life Should Be Cast to Flames.

However, since this is a five-star cone, it’s not always possible to get it. Thankfully, as an Erudition character, there are plenty of other choices for Anaxa’s build:

Best Anaxa Light Cones

Now that you know all the best gear to use from the table above, it’s also important to understand why each gear is good for building Anaxa to use him efficiently in battle. Here’s why each light cone mentioned above works well for him:

Life Should Be Cast To Flames	Whenever Anaxa’s turn starts, this light cone gives him 10 extra Energy, which stacks with the Energy from his kit. Moreover, he can deal up to 60 percent extra DMG to the enemies that have a weakness implanted by him. Finally, upon attacking an enemy, he decreases the target’s DEF by 12 percent, which applies for all party members.
Into The Unreachable Veil	The Herta’s signature light cone comes in a close second for Anaxa because of its Crit Rate and extra Skill and Ultimate DMG. The Crit Rate buff is applied from the start while the extra DMG triggers after the first Ultimate. Moreover, upon using the Ultimate, Anaxa can recover one Skill Point for the team since he has a 140 Energy cost.
Before Dawn	While not as good as the two above, this light cone can give Anaxa a decent 36 percent Crit DMG along with an 18 percent DMG boost for his Skill and Ultimate.
Eternal Calculus	Eternal Calculus is the best F2P-friendly light cone for Anaxa since you can get it from the Simulated Universe shop. It can give him up to 52 percent ATK along with 16 percent extra SPD.
The Great Cosmic Enterprise	If you’ve played through the Star Rail WORLD event, you can simply use this light cone on Anaxa as it gives him up to a whopping 56 percent DMG boost and 16 percent ATK.
The Day The Cosmos Fell	Finally, this MoC shop light cone can also be a decent pick for Anaxa if you don’t have any of the above since it increases his ATK by 24 percent while also giving him a 40 percent Crit DMG boost after attacking two enemies with Wind weakness.

Best Anaxa Relics And Planar Ornaments

Relics and planar ornaments are the bread-and-butter for Anaxa’s build since they give you most of the ATK and Crit stats along with a bunch of SPD. The best relic and planar ornament for Anaxa is easily the Scholar Lost in Erudition and Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Ream sets, but you have other choices depending on how you use him:

Anaxa Relic Set Synergy

Scholar Lost in Erudition	This set serves as the best in slot for Anaxa because of its Crit Rate and Ultimate/Skill DMG boost. After using your Ultimate, you can deal an additional 25 percent DMG on the next Skill as well.
Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters	If you’re using Anaxa with another debuffer, this set works better for him than Scholar since you’ll have enough debuffs on the enemies. It gives him 4 percent Crit Rate, 12 percent increased DMG, and up to 24 percent extra Crit DMG.
Eagle of Twilight Line	Finally, this set can be used as a placeholder if you’re in the early game as it gives him some Wind DMG bonus along with movement advancement after using Ultimate.

Anaxa Planar Ornament Synergy

Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm	You’ll likely use Anaxa with another Erudition unit, and if that’s the case, Izumo works the best for him as it gives him 12 percent Crit Rate and 12 percent extra ATK.
Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation	While using Anaxa in Pure Fiction, you can use the Sigonia set as he’ll be defeating a lot of enemies, which will give him up to 40 percent Crit DMG along with the 4 percent Crit Rate.
Rutilant Arena	This is the best set for Anaxa if you’re planning to use him as a solo DPS in the team as it can give him 8 percent Crit Rate while also increasing his Basic ATK and Skill DMG when you’re over 70 percent Crit Rate.

Best Anaxa Teams

After getting together the best Anaxa build possible with the availability of light cones, relics, and planar ornaments on your account, the next step is to figure out the team you want to use him in. Out of all Anaxa teams, the one that will give you the most value is when he’s used alongside The Herta, Tribbie, and Aventurine.

When Anaxa has another Erudition character in the team, he increases the DMG dealt by all other party members by 50 percent, which is perfect since both The Herta and Tribbie can deal quite a bit of damage, with Aventurine also having some decent damage on his Ultimate and follow-up attacks.

However, if there are no other Erudition characters in Anaxa’s team, he can get a whopping 140 percent Crit DMG boost. This can stack further with Sunday’s Crit DMG and a bunch of Crit Rate from both him and Remembrance Trailblazer. All these buffs with the right relics and planar ornaments make Anaxa quite a broken main DPS.

Finally, Anaxa’s F2P team essentially replaces The Herta with Qingque while you can use both Remembrance Trailblazer and Pela as the supports. If you use Pela, you can use the Pioneer set on Anaxa as you’ll have three debuffs on the enemies along with one being applied by Anaxa himself.

Anaxa Overview And Trace Priority

	Rarity	Five-Star
	Path	Erudition
	Combat Type	Wind
	Overworld Rating	A Tier
	Memory of Chaos Rating	S Tier
	Pure Fiction Rating	S+ Tier
	Apocalyptic Shadow Rating	A Tier

While Anaxa might not be at the highest rankings for his own DPS, he can serve as a phenomenal sub-DPS for other Erudition units, making him an S+ tier unit to use whenever it’s alongside the likes of The Herta. However, you can still use him as a solo DPS in various endgame modes and clear them with the right team members.

Thankfully, Anaxa is one of the few characters in Honkai: Star Rail with an easy-to-understand kit.

Anaxa Kit, Explained

Generally, you’d want to use Anaxa’s Skill when he gets a turn, followed by the Ultimate when it’s ready. However, it’s important to understand how he works to get the most use from him:

• Anaxa hits the main enemy when you trigger his Skill. After that, he deals the same damage four more times to random enemies, but it prioritizes the enemies who haven’t been hit yet. So, if you have five enemies on the field, each enemy will take this damage once. For each enemy on the field, this Skill does 20 percent more DMG.
• His Ultimate puts enemies in the Sublimation state before dealing a bunch of damage. Enemies in Sublimation state have all seven Weakness types until their next turn, and they can’t take action in this state unless they have Control RES like bigger bosses.
• Whenever Anaxa hits an enemy with any attack, he applies one new Weakness on them for the next three turns. When the enemies have over five weaknesses, Anaxa deals an extra 18 percent DMG to them while triggering an extra Skill after you use his Basic ATK or Skill.
• Anaxa can ignore the enemy’s DEF by four percent for each weakness that they have.

Anaxa Eidolons, Explained

Much like every other character, Anaxa has six eidolons, and the third and fifth ones give additional levels to his abilities. Other than that, here’s what the other four Eidolons do:

1. Enemies target hit by Anaxa’s Skill have their DEF reduced by 16 percent, and the first use of this ability recovers a Skill Point.
2. When enemies enter the battle, they get implanted with one new Weakness and their All-Type RES is reduced by 20 percent.
3. Increase ATK by 30 percent for every use of Skill for the next two turns, up to 60 percent.
4. Anaxa deals 130 percent of his original DMG at all times and he can enjoy both the 140 percent Crit DMG and 50 percent ally damage effects from his traces at the same time without any requirements.

Anaxa Trace Priority

Since Anaxa isn’t a Remembrance character, he only has four traces that you have to upgrade for him. His Skill is undoubtedly the priority since you get most of your damage from that. After that, you can follow this order for his upgrades:

1. Skill
2. Talent
3. Ultimate
4. Basic Attack

You can leave Anaxa’s Basic Attack at level one since you wouldn’t want to use it in combat anyway.
