Gaming Kit and Abilities


As already mentioned, Gaming's kit focuses on Plunge Attacks and slamming down on your enemies from above. He is able to refresh the CD on his E with the help of his Ultimate making him quite a spammy character to play around with. Here is his full kit breakdown alongside his passives.

Stellar Rend - Normal Attack

  • Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.
Bestial Ascent.webp

SKILL

Bestial Ascent - Skill

  • Pounces forward using the Wushou arts, leaping high into the air after coming into contact with a target or surface.
    • 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 DMG that 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.
Suanni's Gilded Dance.webp

ULT

Suanni's Gilded Dance - Ultimate

  • Gaming enters Wushou Stance, briefly applying Pyro to him, recovering a fixed amount of HP, and summons his companion, the Suanni Man Chai, to smash into his target, dealing AoE Pyro DMG.
  • After bashing its target, Man Chai will roll to a nearby location before moving towards Gaming. When it links up with Gaming, Man Chai will leave the field and reset the CD for Gaming's Elemental Skill, Bestial Ascent.
  • While Wushou Stance is active, his resistance to interruption is increased, and when Gaming lands with Charmed Cloudstrider attack or completes the forward pounce attack from Bestial Ascent with over 50% HP, he will summon Man Chai again.
  • Each Gaming can only have 1 Man Chai on the field simultaneously.
  • This effect will be canceled once Gaming leaves the field.

Gaming Best Weapons


As he is a 4-star character, Gaming doesn’t have a signature weapon attached to him, but that does not mean that he doesn’t have some good choice he can use. Here are all the weapons that we think are great on Gaming.

Gaming Best Artifacts


As far as artifacts goes, given that Gaming can manipulate his own HP, he is more than happy to use the Marechaussee Hunter even without needing Furina. We believe that is his best artifact set, but there are some other choices you can use as well. Here is the full breakdown.

Gaming.webp

Gaming Best Artifacts

Best Artifact Set:

Marechaussee Hunter.webp

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.

Alternative:

Vermillion Hereafter.webp

Vermillion Hereafter

  • 2-Piece:  ATK +18%
  • 4-Piece: After using an Elemental Burst, this character will gain the Nascent Light effect, increasing their ATK by 8% for 16s. When the character's HP decreases, their ATK will further increase by 10%. This further increase can occur this way a maximum of 4 times. This effect can be triggered once every 0.8s. Nascent Light will be dispelled when the character leaves the field. If an Elemental Burst is used again during the duration of Nascent Light, the original Nascent Light will be dispelled.

For Main and Sub Stats you'd want to go for:

  • Sands: ATK%
  • Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus%
  • Circlet: Crit DMG

For Sub-Stats you should focus on: 

 CRIT DMG/CRIT Rate > Energy Recharge > ATK%

Gaming Best Teams

Gaming Best Build Guide

There are a number of teams that Gaming can fit into, but we believe that using him in a Vaporize comp will make the most out of his element. Here are some teams that we recommend:

  • Gaming - Xianyun - Furina - Bennet
  • Gaming - Xianyun - Yelan - Xingqiu
  • Gaming - Sucrose - Rosaria - Bennet

How to Get Gaming

Gaming Best Build Guide

There are numerous ways that you can go about getting Gaming.

First off is pulling on the Limited Character Banners that are running from:

January 31, 2024 – February 20, 2024

The other way is to play the main event of Version 4.4 and obtain him through the 4-star Liyue character selector.

The third and final way is to pull on the Regular banner in the hope of getting him, however, we strongly advise against that, as the chances to get Gaming from there are really slim!

Should you Pull for Gaming


Gaming Thumb.png
Gaming Best Build Guide

All in all, Gaming is an interesting character that offers a new way to use Plunge Attacks and he is a great alternative to Xiao if you want to get into the Plunge Attack gameplay style. However, given that he is a 4-star unit and if we consider how HoYoverse have been making their 4-star units lately, to make him truly viable you will need his C6

Gaming is surely still viable and although he feels complete even without his C6, however, the boost from his constellations and the diversity it offers his kit are not one to be overlooked. 

Overall, we believe Gaming is fun to play around with, however, if you truly wish to make him shine then you might need to look at some of his constellations.
