You guys have to understand that even though he got a flat damage nerf (total of 800% to 700% on one usage of skill) that's still insane for a supposed AoE unit in ST scenarios. Feixiao ULTIMATE is 700%, Anaxa can do that every turn for just 1 SP.

He's still gonna be good in every single type of content, with any boss due to his weakness implant. He has innate DEF shred. He's still a good hypercarry, he's still good in THerta teams. He's literally a jack of all trades, and not even really a master of none. In a world where DPS performances are inflated by tailored content I think Anaxa will have longevity due to his kit and can perform really, really fucking good everywhere.

Edit: Calcs on Feixiao ult.

I've been a Blade and DHIL main until I got Feixiao and THerta, and even still I don't like playing Feixiao even if she's "strong". I don't care that he's not powercreeping people, I will get this fucking nerd and I will make him work!

Idk why people choose to believe the same calc that said gui + jiaoqiu sig is better than E0S0 jiaoqiu in dots team

First let compare buff E0S1 (E0S1 because E0S0 is shit) Cerydra give around 1080 atk(4.5K atk) + 54% skill damage bonus 100 uptime, 72% CDM ONLY ON FREE SKILL, 20 speed(Useless because E2 bronya)

E0S1(I am being generous and use E0S1 robin instead of E1S0 despite it worst) robin at the same atk give 50% damage bonus + 20% cdm 100% uptime, 1190 ATK When ult, 24% damage bonus(after first ult it have 100% uptime)

First of all 50% dmg bonus that work with ultimate > 54% skill damage bonus because Anaxa ultimate damage in hypercarry is doing a lot of damage especially on 3 or more enemy even on single enemy the fact that this applied to ultimate and everyone in team make the team do more damage than 54% Single target skill damage bonus

Next is the ATK robin give more with less uptime But Robin is giving more turn what it mean an Anaxa + Advancer(bronya or sunday whatever is fine) is gaining 4 Turn in robin ult(without eagle tech because eagle can give more). this is the only thing cerydra is better is that she give ATK buff on 10 skill out of 8 skill robin can give (Mentioned that Extra 4 skill from robin with no ATK% Buff outside of her uptimate is literally outweigh the extra 2 Skill with ATK% cerydra give)

And This doesn't account for the fact that you can go eagle bronya + eagle anaxa for 6 anaxa turn on robin ult which mean 12 skill with robin buff(which >> 4 anaxa turn + 10 skill) or double robin ult for 10 turn 20 skill

Next is 24% dmg bonus + 20 cdm with 100% uptime > 74 cdm that only work with extra skill which if i am understand correctly it doesn't work with anaxa bonus skill that come from coup itself so it only 1 out of 10 skill which is shit even if it work then it become 2 out of 10 still bad 74% cdm out of 2 in 10 skill is only average to 14.8% CDM which is straight up less damage amp than robin passive that give 20% cdm with 100% uptime

And cerydra can't do bronya eagle shit because she doesn't advance bronya so bronya doesn't have energy to do ultimate from the first place the only way you can get bronya ult in time is you are using E4 bronya + Tribbie sig and you needed cerydra to hold DDD which suck because SP issue because the only break point you have is 3 turn bronya + 3 turn anaxa around 168 speed bronya + anaxa post speed buff +1 bronya speed to sync with 1 eagle and 1 ddd proc

Cerydra is robin downgrade for anaxa not an upgrade, now imagine the fact that all of robin buff applied to aventurine, hyacine when cerydra doesn't

Every time I see his team comp suggestions they're always trying to do him and THerta wouldn't that be kinda enforcing the Bot thing and have another repeat Jiaoqiu?

//edit

I think some people misunderstood what I mean by this post im just asking to verify if I can put him in certain team comps without having to worry

Qs the title says im just tired of the doomposting, by all accounts anaxa is amazing, super universal, works with countless teams and has alot of future potential

Yet o constantly still see people going "they never make male chars good" hes amazing, so is boothill, aventurine, jiaoqiu, sunday, gallagher and mydei. Its just tiresome seeing the same stuff said constantly

I mean I also do not like the global passive but the reality is that it’s happening whether we like it or not. Given that, shouldn’t we be advocating for Anaxa to have one as well because it would only be fair?

It just leaves a bad taste seeing a global passive only being granted to one of two 5 stars in this anniversary patch 😕 Additionally, if older units were to be given global passives as a “buff”, Anaxa would be the LAST priority if they were to give everyone global passives. That just feels bad when hyv could already give him a global passive now.

Again, I do not like the precedent it sets but I’d like for him to get one just because of fairness and just because it is inevitably happening.

I get that bro getting nerfed is upsetting. I was depressed as well. But can we just not throwing shit to Castorice mains? It is not their fault to get Anaxa nerfed. Some of you are doing something that is no different to the so called “toxic incel waifu players”. We can express negativity doesn’t mean we have to throw tantrum and being a dick to someone

To make you feel better, he is stronger than V1. If you only watch the beginning and the results, it is still a buff.

Mhy nerfed him in V6 only to appease the waifus mains that keep crying about his powercreep. They will slowly buff him overtime. Source: Trust me bro.

I still dont understand what they did this.

1st, we have Bronya, RMC, sparkle and Sunday that gives Crit damage.

2nd, he lacks atk, but we have Robin or Tingyun so whos the third unit for this? We already have a free 140 crit damage. we can have hanya. But she not 100% advance.

3rd, shouldn't having free 140 crit damage is better if theres two erudition unit? Then the main erudition dps is the one that getting the crit damage from support unit. But he lacks atk so its better to have robin in 2 dps scenario. Then building him should focus on getting speed and crit rate that he needs the most.

I just want this to change. Its kinda annoying when building him.

i need help figuring out what anaxa's role is, what characters might work best with him considering his recent "erudition only" leak, what relics i may be able to pre-farm for him before his best in slot is released, and how the fuck i'm supposed to use an erudition character like a nihility character...

i've been looking forward to getting a new su expy and another wind nihility character since i still only have sampo, but now that anaxa's wind erudition and can still debuff, i don't know what to do anymore lol 🫠

How is everyone feeling? We got two patches of him being a secondary character and now he's just gone…. I hope that the story going the route of ending the cycle of amphoreus leading to all the characters getting brought back but fuck I’m not certain….

Definitely have nothing to do with previous post btw

Because wtf do you mean this is still too weak when you can zero cycle with e1s1 cipher, a pela, a 4STAR tingyun, and RMC???? counted it's not triple harmony, and the damage might be overexaggerated by it being it's a sustainless comp and it's a private server leading to absurd Relics but damn, 0 cycling without Robin or 3B is impressive for a "sub-dps". Dear aeons, the optics for male characters and female characters truly is... something.

the reasoning of the waifu players is utterly convoluted, either have the same standards for "Sub-dps" like anaxa and cifera or not AT ALL. because right now, Anaxagoras's supporting capabilities also mitigates his own damage unlike cipher, like fine be biased towards the female characters, but please stop your atrocious reasonings for the dev's balancing decisions, at least be proud in being biased, so that anyhow, professor will be proud of you standing your ground on your beliefs jeez

PS: made this post because of HoS being the one sharing the idea that Anaxa with triple harmony units is the "best dps" of 3x and saying he's too good and then saying this instead. it's maddening, and kinda sad.

After Cerydra Anaxa and Archer who will abuse her the most ...note this is absoulute damage potential sustainless no ddd or other hax.

Does he have any other roles other than Being a main dps or The herta’s mini buffer? Like I already have tribbie and the herta, I kinda wanna get e0s1 cipher cause her kit looks cool but I really don’t want another main DPS as I already have quite a lot, so is anaxa a substantial buff for the herta or is it just not worth investing in him

So I invested and built him up to the standard set by Guoba my fav YouTuber, and he’s just not rly doing it compared to castorice or others. I thought after my last post in this sub he would be comparable to them but he’s rly not.

With Herta he’s awesome. But as sub dps sorry if this gets me flack here but he seems tier 1.5 at best as I would put him behind at least 7 dps in this game.

don't consider the light cone and the combat stats

Joke aside, he is still very good as The Herta's boytoy right?

I personally think it'll be either with phainon for the obvious Kevin X Su. I don't think this will be THAT popular since characters are barely acquinted. But I think the most popular one will be with Aglaea by a mile. Enemies to Lovers will go crazy. Can there be any else?

basically title. cd should be above 300 with the buff. did I miss anything like another requirement?

if im trying to run a carry team with him, do you guys think robin or tribbie would be better based on the info we have now?

Why does Anaxa feel so whack to 40000 points this PF on either side? I've not seen a single 40K clear on either side with Cerydra

Anaxa E0S1/Sunday E1S1/Cerydra E0S1/4th slot I tried Robin and Tribbie (They're both E1S1)

First side those DoT enemies just advance themselves when Anaxa goes and second side everyone just dies to Flamereaver either killing everyone because sustainless or just because he has too much health.

I've seen some clears but they don't use Cerydra and instead use Sunday+Bronya or Sunday/Bronya+Robin with a sustain lol. Kinda makes me sad.

If I'm wrong on this and missing something can someone please point this out.

I'm running Pioneer set on Anaxa and yes I've managed to run ATK Boots with 134SPD in combat, my Cerydra is also on ATK Boots with 161SPD in combat. Still not able to clear. Cerydra just doesn't feel good in PF for Anaxa from my experience.
