Anaxa Pre-Farming Guide: My Honkai Star Rail Prep Journey

As a dedicated Trailblazer, I've been counting down the days until Anaxa's release in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3! 😍 This Wind Erudition character isn't just another DPS – his ability to inflict ALL SEVEN weakness types simultaneously with his Ultimate feels like a game-changer. Remember how Silver Wolf revolutionized single-target weakness breaks? Well, Anaxa takes that concept and turns it into an AoE spectacle! I've already started pre-farming his materials because let's be real – who wants to wait after finally pulling this beast? The best part? HoYoverse confirmed these materials WON'T change, so every resin spent now is guaranteed progress toward maxing him out immediately. Trust me, seeing that rainbow light appear on your screen only to have him sit at level 20 for days? Pure agony!

🌀 Ascension Materials: My Amphoreus & Penacony Grind

Pre-farming Anaxa's ascension feels like preparing for a military operation! First stop: Amphoreus for those Ethereal Omen drops. After testing different methods, I can confirm Calyx (Golden) is the ONLY sane way to farm these – why waste time waiting for Black Tide respawns when you get guaranteed drops?

Here's what you'll need:

• Ethereal Omen/Echoing Wail/Eternal Lament × 65 each (Amphoreus Calyx)

• A Glass of the Besotted Era × 65 (Penacony's Stagnant Shadow)

• Credits × 308,000 (just for ascension!)

That Glass material farm brought back PTSD from building Feixiao last patch – same location at Penacony Grand Theater! Pro tip: bring your strongest Ice team to bulldoze through Stagnant Shadow runs. And about those credits... 308k sounds bad until you realize you'll need ANOTHER 508k just to level him up! 💸 I've been camping at Calyx (Golden): Bud of Treasures like it's my second home.

📈 Trace Upgrades: The Real Resource Nightmare

Oh boy, where do I even start? Anaxa's trace materials made my jaw drop – we're talking weeks of dedicated farming! First, those Erudition-specific items:

Material	Location	Quantity
Rough Sketch	Penacony Calyx (Crimson)	18
Dynamic Outlining	Penacony Calyx (Crimson)	69
Exquisite Colored Draft	Penacony Calyx (Crimson)	139

But the REAL pain? 💀 That weekly boss material – Lost Echo of the Shared Wish from Grand Septimus. With only three attempts per week, I had to strategically save my fuel! And let's not forget Tracks of Destiny – I've been hoarding these from Simulated Universe like a dragon guarding treasure!

What shocked me most? The final credit cost: 3 MILLION just for traces! At this point, I'm convinced Hoyoverse designed Penacony Calyx runs as some form of endurance test. But seeing Anaxa's kit in action? Totally worth it. His weakness application turns team rotations into fireworks shows! 🎇

💭 The Grind Mindset & Future Possibilities

After weeks of farming, I've developed a love-hate relationship with Amphoreus maps. On one hand, the scenery is gorgeous; on the other, I could navigate those Calyx routes blindfolded now! But here's what keeps me going: imagining Anaxa's synergy with my existing roster. That weakness-spamming ultimate paired with follow-up attackers? Chef's kiss! 👌

Still, it makes me wonder: are we heading toward a meta where universal weakness application becomes mandatory? And what does this mean for niche units like Silver Wolf? With Penacony's memory zones already feeling cramped with farming spots, how will Hoyoverse balance future character material locations?

At the end of the day, watching your preparation pay off when you finally unleash a fully-built Anaxa? Priceless. But I'd love to hear from fellow Trailblazers: What team comps are you most excited to try with him, and how do you mentally survive the trace material grind? ✨
