The fiery spirit of Liyue's Wushou dance has taken Teyvat by storm! Gaming, the 4-star Pyro claymore user introduced in Version 4.4, isn't your average transport guard. With his loyal suanni companion, Man Chai, by his side, he brings a unique and dynamic playstyle centered around high-flying Plunging Attacks. His Elemental Skill is the core of his kit, launching him into the air for a powerful slam, while his Burst resets that Skill's cooldown, enabling a relentless assault. For players looking to master this acrobatic DPS, giving him the right build and team is crucial to unleashing his full, explosive potential. Let's break down everything you need to turn Gaming into a plunge-attacking powerhouse. 🔥

⚔️ Best Weapons for Gaming: Forging His Fury

Choosing the right claymore is the first step to maximizing Gaming's damage output. As a main DPS, you'll want weapons that boost his ATK and CRIT stats. According to expert analysis, the undisputed king for his build is the 5-star Beacon of the Reed Sea. Here's why it's so powerful:

• Base ATK: 608 (at Lv. 90) - A top-tier value.

• Sub-stat: CRIT Rate 33.1% (at Lv. 90) - Huge for damage consistency.

• Weapon Effect: After an Elemental Skill hits, ATK increases by 20% for 8s. Taking damage also grants a 20% ATK boost. It even provides a 32% Max HP bonus when not shielded, which synergizes perfectly with Gaming's HP-draining mechanics.

If you don't have Beacon, other great 5-star options exist:

• Wolf's Gravestone: Offers the same high base ATK with a massive ATK% sub-stat (49.6%). Its passive boosts the whole team's ATK when attacking low-health enemies, making it a fantastic support-DPS hybrid choice.

But what if you're saving those Primogems? No worries! Several 4-star claymores can carry Gaming to victory:

Weapon	Rarity	Base ATK (Lv. 90)	Sub-stat (Lv. 90)	Key Notes
Serpent Spine	4★	510	CRIT Rate 27.6%	Battle Pass weapon. Increases damage dealt but also damage taken. A top-tier 4-star crit stick.
Lithic Blade	4★	510	ATK% 41.3%	Damage bonus scales with Liyue teammates. Great for themed teams.
Prototype Archaic	4★	565	ATK% 27.6%	The best F2P craftable option. Reliable ATK boost, though its passive is less useful for Gaming.

For free-to-play champions, Prototype Archaic is your go-to. Its solid base ATK and ATK% bonus provide a very reliable foundation for his damage. Remember, the goal is to stack ATK and CRIT to make every plunge hit like a meteor! 💥

👥 Best Team Comps: The Perfect Dance Partners

Gaming can't shine alone; he needs a squad that enables his plunge spam and amplifies his damage. The ideal team structure revolves around:

1. Gaming as the on-field Plunge DPS.

2. A Plunge Attack enabler/buffer.

3. A healer/ATK buffer.

4. A sub-DPS for elemental reactions.

A premier, high-investment team looks like this:

• Gaming (Main DPS)

• Xianyun (Support/Healer) - She's practically made for plunge attackers! She provides massive plunge damage buffs and team-wide healing. An absolute game-changer for Gaming.

• Bennett (Healer/ATK Buffer) - The classic combo. Bennett's burst provides a huge ATK boost and healing, while also activating Pyro Resonance for even more ATK.

• Furina (Sub-DPS) - The best-in-slot for reaction damage. Her off-field Hydro application lets Gaming trigger constant Vaporize reactions, which massively multiplies his damage. She also buffs team damage based on HP flux, which Gaming's kit naturally provides.

Don't have these specific 5-stars? The beauty of Genshin Impact is flexibility! Here are some powerful alternatives:

• Sub-DPS for Vaporize: Yelan, Xingqiu, or even Mona can replace Furina.

• Alternative Supports: If you're using Xianyun as your healer, you can replace Bennett with another sub-DPS like Fischl or Raiden Shogun for Overloaded teams, especially with the specialist Chevreuse now available.

• F2P Friendly Team: Gaming, Bennett, Xingqiu, Sucrose. This classic national-style variant gives you Vaporize, buffs, and crowd control.

The golden rule? Always include healing and buffing for Gaming, and pair him with off-field damage dealers to create powerful elemental reactions while he's in the air. 🌀

🎭 Best Artifacts, Stats, & Skill Priority

Now, let's talk about the gear that turns Gaming from good to legendary.

Artifact Sets:

• Best-in-Slot: Marechaussee Hunter (4-Piece)

This set is a match made in heaven for Gaming. The 2-piece gives a 15% boost to Normal and Charged Attack DMG (which affects his plunge attacks!). The 4-piece effect is the star: when his HP increases or decreases, his CRIT Rate increases by 12% for 5s, stacking up to 3 times. Since Gaming's Skill consumes HP, he can easily maintain max stacks, granting a permanent 36% CRIT Rate bonus. This allows you to focus on CRIT DMG in your substats for monstrous damage.

• Strong Alternative: Crimson Witch of Flames (4-Piece)

If you want to emphasize his Pyro and reaction damage, this is your set. The 2-piece gives 15% Pyro DMG. The 4-piece boosts Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon by 40%, Vaporize and Melt by 15%, and using an Elemental Skill gives 50% more Pyro DMG (stackable). This is best for teams heavily focused on triggering Vaporize.

Main Stats to Target (Sands/Goblet/Circlet):

• Sands of Eon: ATK% (or Elemental Mastery in specific Vaporize teams)

• Goblet of Eonothem: Pyro DMG Bonus

• Circlet of Logos: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG (Aim for a 1:2 Ratio, e.g., 70% CRIT Rate / 140% CRIT DMG)

Substat Priority: CRIT DMG ≈ CRIT Rate > ATK% > Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge.

Talent Level-Up Priority:

1. Elemental Skill (>> Normal Attack) - This is his PRIMARY source of damage. Max it first!

2. Elemental Burst (= Normal Attack) - Level these together. His Burst does good damage and enables his Skill spam, while leveling his Normal Attack increases his Plunging Attack multiplier, which his Skill uses.

Building Gaming is refreshingly straightforward. He's a classic hyper-carry DPS with a fun, mobile twist. By leveraging his HP mechanics with Marechaussee Hunter, equipping a strong claymore, and surrounding him with a supportive team, this 4-star dancer can absolutely compete with 5-star power levels. So gear up, find your rhythm, and get ready to plunge into victory with Gaming! 🦁✨
