Gaming abilities in Genshin Impact

Normal Attack: Stellar Rend

• Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.
• Charged Attack: Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous spinning attacks against all nearby opponents. At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash. 
• Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Bestial Ascent

Pounces forward using the Wushou arts, leaping high into the air after hitting.
After Gaming has used Bestial Ascent to rise into the air, he will use the especially powerful Plunging Attack: Charmed Cloudstrider when performing a Plunging Attack.

Plunging Attack: Charmed Cloudstrider
The DMG from Plunging Attacks caused by Bestial Ascent is converted to Pyro DMGthat cannot be overridden by other elemental infusions. Upon landing, Gaming will consume a fixed amount of HP. Gaming’s HP cannot be reduced below 10% by this method.
Charmed Cloudstrider DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG.

Elemental Burst: Ring of Bursting Grenades

Gaming enters a “Wushou Stance” and hurls forward his companion, Lion Man Chai. It’ll deal AoE Pyro DMG and Man Chai will return to Gaming after rolling near the area and smashing the targets. The moment Man Chai returns, it’ll reset Gaming’s Elemental Skill. Man Chai can be summoned again if Gaming performs his plunging attack again with 50%+ HP.

Gaming Constellations in Genshin Impact

If you’re hoping to pull multiple copies of Gaming, here are what buffs you can expect from his Constellations:

Level 1- Bringer of Blessing: When the Suanni Man Chai from Suanni’s Gilded Dance meets back up with Gaming, it will heal 15% of Gaming’s HP.

Level 2- Plum Blossoms Underfoot: When Gaming receives healing and this instance of healing overflows, his ATK will be increased by 20% for 5s.

Level 3- Awakening Spirit: Increases the Level of Bestial Ascent by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Level 6- To Tame All Beasts: Bestial Ascent‘s Bestial Ascent’s Plunging Attack: Charmed Cloudstrider CRIT Rate increased by 20% CRIT DMG increased by 40%, and its attack radius will be increased.

Best Gaming Artifacts in Genshin Impact

The best Artifact set for Gaming is the 4-piece Marechaussee Hunter to improve his CRIT Rate based on the frequency of his HP changing. You could also use the 4-piece Crimson Witch of Flames to increase his Pyro DMG and Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%.

Lastly, we only suggest the Flower of Paradise Lost set if you wish to use Gaming as a Burgeon DPS. This is due to the 4-piece bonus of increasing Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG by 40%.

Artifact	Set Bonuses
Marechaussee Hunter	2-piece: Normal and Charged Attack DMG +15% 4-piece: When current HP increases or decreases, CRIT Rate will be increased by 12% for 5s. Max 3 stacks.
Crimson Witch of Flames	2-piece: Pyro DMG Bonus +15%. 4-piece: 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	2-piece: Elemental Mastery +80 4-piece: 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 tri

Best Gaming weapon in Genshin Impact

You don’t need a 5-star weapon to maximize Gaming’s potential. In fact, the 4-star Claymore Serpent Spine is his best in-slot option. Another excellent 4-star weapon choice is the Mailed Flower, which was available during the Floral Pursuit portion of the Windblume’s Breath event.

We recommend the latter weapon if you want to use Gaming as a Burgeon DPS. If you simply just want to place a 5-star Claymore on Gaming, we suggest Beacon of the Reed Sea just for the CRIT Rate main stat.

Weapon	Details
Serpent Spine	Every 4s a character is on the field, they will deal 6% more DMG and take 3% more DMG. This effect has a maximum of 5 stacks and will not be reset if the character leaves the field, but will be reduced by 1 stack when the character takes DMG.
Mailed Flower	Within 8s after the character’s Elemental Skill hits an opponent or the character triggers an Elemental Reaction, their ATK and Elemental Mastery will be increased by 12% and 48 respectively.
Beacon of the Reed Sea	After the character’s Elemental Skill hits an opponent, their ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. After the character takes DMG, their ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. The 2 aforementioned effects can be triggered even when the character is not on the field. Additionally, when not protected by a shield, the character’s Max HP will be increased by 32%.

Gaming Genshin Impact trailer

On January 28, 2024, Genshin Impact posted a character demo of Gaming ahead of his release date. You can check out the video below:

Best Gaming team comp

The best team comp would include Gaming, Furina, Xianyun, and Bennett. This party would take advantage of Gaming’s Plunging Attacks and HP fluctuation, with both Furina and Xianyun acting as the sub-DPS. Bennett is useful in providing an ATK bonus, and his sixth Constellation will finally pay off to infuse Gaming’s attacks with Pyro.

You could also place Gaming in a team focused on the Vaporize Elemental Reaction. If you choose to do so, we recommend teammates such as Yelan, Xianyun, and Bennett. Alternatively, you could replace Yelan with Xingqiu and Xianyun with Sucrose or Kazuha.
