Regarding the armor-stacking mechanics, this is quite uncertain information. Since some people are already talking about it, I’ll share what I know and my perspective.

Disclaimer: This is not very reliable information, and the chances of it being incorrect are relatively high. That’s why I haven’t mentioned it before. Even now, it doesn’t mean I believe this to be 100% true. Please don’t take it as confirmed or spread it as if it’s certain.

Additionally, even if this is accurate at the moment, it’s about characters at least six months away, and plans can easily change during development.

Now, about the updates: devs does have plans to strengthen DOT mechanics in major updates before version 3.0, but I’m not sure about the specifics or if the plan will actually be implemented. After all, there are plenty of things Star Rail planned but didn’t follow through on.

Regarding Anaxa, he seems to be a regular crit/crit damage character rather than a DOT-focused one. So if there’s going to be a DOT character, it would likely be Cipher.

Cipher is expected to be released around version 3.3, but since it’s a character so far out, it’s hard to confirm anything. What I do know is that Cipher is a limited 5-star character.
