We investigate Lifshits-tail behaviour of the integrated density of states for a wide class of Schr\"odinger operators with positive random potentials. The setting includes alloy-type and Poissonian random potentials. The considered (single-site) impurity potentials $f: \mathbbm{R}^d \to [0, \infty[ $ decay at infinity in an anisotropic way, for example, $f(x_1,x_2)\sim (|x_1|^{\alpha_1}+|x_2|^{\alpha_2})^{-1}$ as $ |(x_1,x_2)| \to \infty $. As is expected from the isotropic situation, there is a so-called quantum regime with Lifshits exponent $ d/2 $ if both $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ are big enough, and there is a so-called classical regime with Lifshits exponent depending on $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ if both are small. In addition to this we find two new regimes where the Lifshits exponent exhibits a mixture of quantum and classical behaviour. Moreover, the transition lines between these regimes depend in a nontrivial way on $ \alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ simultaneously.
