Gaming is the emissary between Liyue Harbour and Chenyu Vale as a Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency guard. But Gaming has the best Lion Dance in Genshin Impact and mighty attacks once you equip him with his best build and team comp. The best part is that his arrival during the 4.4 version of the game coincides with Liyue’s holiday dates with the Lantern Rite to show off his strong moves like roars and colorful moves like fireworks. So, if you are thinking of getting Gaming, he will be the soul of your party.
Best Build for Gaming in Genshin Impact
Gaming is a Pyro 4-star Claymore user character, which was available for free during his debut in version 4.4, and is a character that works best with plunge attacks. If you need a Diluc alternative, Gaming is an excellent choice for your parties.
Weapons
For Gaming, Redhorn Stonethresher, Beacon of the Reed Sea, and Verdict are weapons that increase his CRIT Rate; however, he has better alternatives in Genshin for his build that take better advantage of his stats, such as:
| CRIT Rate DPS | Elemental Reactions DPS | Burgeon DPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Serpent Spine 2. Rainslasher 3. Mailed Flower 4. Ultimate Overlord’s Mega Magic Sword | 1. Mailed Flower 2. Rainslasher 3. Makhaira Aquamarine 4. Forest Regalia | |
Best Artifact Set
The role of Gaming in Genshin Impact does not change depending on his team comp; he remains a Main DPS. But you can decide if you want this dancer to do more physical damage or more powerful elemental reactions with these sets:
| CRIT Rate DPS | Elemental Reactions DPS | Burgeon DPS |
|---|---|---|
| Marechaussee Hunter 4-Pieces: When current HP increases or decreases, CRIT Rate will be increased by 12% for 5s. Max 3 stacks. | Crimson Witch of Flames 4-Pieces: Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using an Elemental Skill increases 2-Piece Set effects by 50% for 10s. Max 3 stacks. | Flower of Paradise Lost 4-Pieces: The equipping character’s Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG are increased by 40%. Additionally, after the equipping character triggers Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, they will gain another 25% bonus to the effect mentioned prior. Each stack of this lasts 10s. Max 4 stacks simultaneously. This effect can only be triggered once per second. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field. Gilded Dreams 4-Pieces: Within 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping this will obtain buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. ATK is increased by 14% for each member whose Elemental Type is the same as the equipping character, and EM is increased by 50 for every member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s and even when not on the field. |
