Overview
Sir Champion is the 34th Novarch and the Novarch of Competition in Honkai: Nexus Anima. He appears as a mysterious armored warrior in full plate armor with an unrevealed face. Before the Sundering, he was a Sovereign governing the paired Aspects of Competition and Cooperation. In the New World, he rules only the Aspect of Competition.
The Grand Championship
Sir Champion oversees The Amphitheater Grand Championship, the premier competitive Nexus Battle tournament held every four years. He has remained undefeated for over 200 years, and anyone who can beat him will inherit the title of Novarch of Competition. His signature ability, "Competition's Crown," forcibly moves the weakest enemy to a marked hex, applies a stun, and increases damage taken. This is the highest-level competition in the game, and qualifying for it is a goal that drives several characters in the story.
Honkai connections
Community speculation has drawn comparisons between Sir Champion and Argenti from Honkai: Star Rail, based on visual similarities and thematic overlap. However, no official confirmation of this connection has been made. The Honkai connections article covers confirmed and speculated character links.
Supporting infrastructure
The competitive ecosystem Sir Champion oversees includes multiple supporting locations. Championship Qualifiers are held at the Romanesque Hall, a former royal mansion from the Old World repurposed as a competition arena. Kampete's Gallery of Wandering is a shop dedicated to the Grand Championship, filled with relics and memorabilia from past champions.
