A second sub-element mixer includes a second main air nozzle circumscribing a second main fuel nozzle. An annular combustor can include a circumferential array of main injectors disposed proximate a pilot injector. Each main injector of the array of main injectors can be oriented with first sub-element mixers proximate to the pilot injector and second sub-element mixers spaced axially downstream relative to first sub-element mixers in a staged configuration.
