Should you get Anaxa or Dr. Ratio when the second half of Honkai Star Rail 3.2 commences?

Anaxa, the newest 5-star character, will debut in the second phase of Honkai Star 3.2. He treads on the Erudition Path, meaning he excels in dealing AoE damage to the adversaries.

As mentioned, Anaxa is the 5-star character you should choose in the second phase of Honkai Star Rail 3.2. The character can be placed in most Hypercarry and dual DPS team compositions and be exceptionally effective.

When you compare Dr. Ratio and Anaxa, the latter is a better DPS unit, as he can deal an exceptional amount of damage and be placed in various team compositions. Although the FUA playstyle is still quite popular among players, Dr. Ratio cannot dish out much damage even with a proper build, while others from the identical field, such as Feixiao and Topaz, can.

Hence, you should get Anaxa when his banner debuts in this gacha title. If you have The Herta in your collection, you should pull for this 5-star Wind character without hesitation.
