Gaming's best weapon is Fruitful Hook when at R5, otherwise A Thousand Blazing Suns is your next best option. Beacon of the Reed Sea, Verdict and Serpent Spine are all similar in power for Gaming.
Build Gaming with Crimson Witch of Flames or Marechaussee Hunter both being extremely competitive in Gaming builds. Marechaussee works incredibly well due to Skills, Ascension Passives and Constellations all having HP-Manipulation mechanics. Crimson Witch tends to be better at C6.
Build Gaming with a focus on CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG however Elemental Mastery can be important in reaction teams. Gaming wants around 130 - 160% Energy Recharge to reliably burst.
Gaming's Elemental Skill is his most important talent to focus on and is where the majority of his DMG comes from.
Combos and How to Play Gaming
Gaming's gameplay is focused on dealing Plunge Attack DMG but instead of having to jump into the air, he can use Bestial Ascent which automatically jumps into the air with a different animation and not attacking directly with his Claymore.
Gaming's Elemental Burst, Suanni's Gilded Dance allows Gaming to enter a Wushou Stance and summoning the Suanni Man Chai. When Plunge Attacking with the Elemental Skill, the Man Chai will also land at a random part of the floor nearby. When you get close to the Man Chai they link with Gaming to reset his Skill Cooldown.
This means as soon as you finish a Plunging Attack: Charmed Cloudstrider you want to find your Man Chai to link and allow yourself another Plunging Attack. Your rotation becomes:
- Bestial Ascent
- Suanni's Gilded Dance
- Bestial Ascent spam
Gaming Best Team Comps
Gaming's best team comps are those which either enable his Plunging Attack playstyle, Xianyun or those that help to apply Elements and increase his Amplifying DMG as a result of Plunging Attacks not having an Internal Cooldown.
Gaming Melt Teams
Main DPS | Support | Support | Support |
---|---|---|---|
Gaming | Xianyun | Citlali | Bennett |
Gaming | Rosaria | Xilonen | Bennett |
With the release of Citlali, she has become Gaming's best support due to Gaming attacking slow enough that Citlali is able to regularly apply Cryo while also providing significant damage buffs with Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City and the RES Shred built into Citlali's kit.
Outside of Citlali, Rosaria becomes a great Cryo applicator for Gaming alongside other defensive options such as Layla or Diona.
Gaming Vaporize Teams
Main DPS | Support | Support | Support |
---|---|---|---|
Gaming | Xianyun | Furina | Xilonen |
Gaming | Yelan | Xilonen | Bennett |
In Vaporize teams, Gaming triggers Reverse Vaporize on every Plunging Attack assuming you have adequate Hydro application. Furina provides good Hydro application alongside a DMG buff as well as synergy with his HP draining mechanic. Other Hydro characters such as Yelan or Xingqiu provide a lot of elemental application. However, their application is only created when Normal Attacking between plunges.

Gaming's Constellations
