Honkai: Nexus Anima Video Guides
Welcome to the Guides Hub
The Honkai: Nexus Anima guides hub collects video tutorials and written walkthroughs covering every major system in the Evolution Test beta. Whether you are registering for closed beta access, learning auto-chess Nexus Battle mechanics, or optimizing Aspect synergy decks, these guides provide visual demonstrations supplementing our detailed wiki articles.
Each guide page embeds a curated YouTube video alongside expanded written notes, FAQs, and internal links to related wiki sections. Guides complement but do not replace in-depth reference pages for Anima data, tier rankings, and interactive planning tools.
Beginner Guides
New Planestriders should start with How to Play Honkai: Nexus Anima for a complete gameplay overview covering exploration, bonding, and combat systems. Follow with How to Join Evolution Test if you need beta registration assistance before the July 3, 2026 recruitment deadline.
After accessing the beta launching July 9, 2026, work through the beginner first week guide for structured progression alongside video content.
Combat Guides
Combat-focused guides cover Nexus Battle auto-chess mechanics and early stage strategies. Watch Nexus Battle Auto Chess Guide for formation placement and buff selection fundamentals. Deck Building & Aspect Synergies dives deeper into pre-battle preparation and mid-fight adaptation.
Struggling with difficulty spikes? How to Beat Early Nexus Battles addresses common mistakes and affordable team upgrades during Iia early game progression.
Exploration Guides
Exploration & Anima Bonding demonstrates efficient Iia town routing, companion affinity activities, and traversal shortcuts using Explorer Anima. Pair this guide with our exploration and minigames reference for activity locations.
Bonding improvements translate directly into Nexus Battle performance through passive bonuses, making exploration guides essential rather than optional for optimization-focused Planestriders.

Watching Guides Effectively
Pause video guides at formation demonstration timestamps and replicate layouts in the team formation planner before continuing playback. This active practice cements auto-chess preparation concepts faster than passive viewing alone during limited Evolution Test access windows.
Bookmark both the relevant guide page and linked wiki reference articles for quick access during gameplay sessions. Video embeds remain available on each guide page while written sections update independently when beta patches change mechanics.
Guide and Wiki Integration
Each video guide pairs with expanded wiki articles covering the same topics in greater numerical and mechanical detail. Use guides for visual learning and wiki pages for reference lookup during active gameplay without pausing video playback repeatedly.
The guides hub organizes content by skill level and system type, helping returning players jump directly to updated sections after patch notes change combat formulas or recruitment availability during the July 2026 Evolution Test window.
