The Grove of Epiphany, where knowledge flourishes and philosophers are born. Yet here stands Anaxagoras the blasphemer, the Chrysos Heir who challenges the Coreflame of Reason: Would you truly embrace infamy and defy prophecy, driving the thorns of doubt into the Sacred Tree of wisdom?

In addition, after using Basic ATK or Skill on them, unleashes 1 additional instance of Skill on the targets.

Ratings
Honkai: Star Rail is a game where team building matters most and while our tier list takes the optimal setup into account, a lot of characters can work and do well - even those ranked lower - when you invest into them. Also for story or lower difficulties of Simulated Universe, you don't need to worry about ratings and tiers. You can safely clear that content even with F2P characters as long as you build your team correctly.
Character at 5★ are rated at their Eidolon 0 with their best in slot non-limited Light Cone.
Available ratings:
- Memory of Chaos (MoC) - how the character performs in the Memory of Chaos. Blast and single target damage are important here while AoE has niche uses against some bosses.
- Pure Fiction (PF) - how the character performs in the Pure Fiction. AoE is king here, followed by Blast while single target damage is mostly useless.
- Apocalyptic Shadow (AS) - how the character performs in the Apocalyptic Shadow. Single target and Break is important here.
Anaxa ratings aren't available yet. They will be added as soon as it's possible.

Calculations
Calculations
Don't use the damage output calculations as an indication on who is worth pulling or investing as those are just simulations and in day-to-day gameplay there's a lot variables. Use the numbers only to supplement your knowledge and treat them as the 'floor' of a character's damage output which you can further scale with proper team and investment.
Disclaimers:
- When playing Anaxa with an ATK based amplifier like Robin his E4's value becomes significantly diminished due to dilution.
- We calculated Anaxa DPS output using his signature Light Cone (Life Should Be Cast to Flames S1) and (The Great Cosmic Enterprise S5). If you want to check how other Light Cones perform on him, check the Light Cone section (or the early access guide),
- Also, considering tha Anaxa can be played as Main DPS and Sub-DPS, we have prepared two sets of calculations: one where he is spamming his Skill (which makes him SP negative) and another one where he weaves in some Basic Attacks (and thus becoming SP Neutral).
- The simulation showcases characters damage potential in the 5 cycle turn limit of Memory of Chaos against 1, 3 and 5 targets. The section below has all the rules listed.
General:
- Combat is simulated at 5 cycles of in-game time or 550 Action Points,
- Units are considered to gain 5 additional energy per rotation through combat (taking a hit, killing an enemy or through party members and their Light Cone),
- Characters and Light Cones are calculated at maximum output starting battle with ramp time removed from stacking buffs (intended to give a constant evaluation of power not dependant on length of fight that can be used to assess maximum power). Additional information about loss of damage due to ramp time can be round attached to related Light Cones, relics and characters,
- Character rotations are smoothed removing breakpoints relating to Speed and Energy (finishing a fight with 90% energy full or 2 AV off next ability leading to skewed results).
Enemies:
- Enemies are considered to always have a Break Bar resulting in units all doing 90% of real damage,
- Enemies speed is set to 134,
- Enemies are assumed to be at 100% of HP at start of battle and to die at exactly at the end of combat. Which means halfway through the fight they are at 50% HP,
- Enemies are assumed to have 0 Resistance,
- Enemies are always considered vulnerable to the attackers element,
- Enemies are considered level 95 and with DEF included.
Units:
- All units are level 80,
- Traces are all unlocked, skills at Level 10 and Basic at Level 6,
- All units have fully upgraded 5 star relics with 24 desired sub stats out of a possible 54,
- All units use their Best In Slot 2 and 4 piece sets,
- All units use Light Cones that are realistically obtainable by all players (including those in Herta and FH Stores and Battle Pass),
- Because the Herta Store and farmable Light Cones are easily accessible to playerbase, we are simulating them at Superimposition 5.
