Playstyle

Gaming thrives in the heat of battle, dishing out Pyro damage as an on-field DPS. His gameplay revolves around maintaining his Elemental Burst while utilizing his Skill to generate Pyro energy. Here’s how to wield him effectively:

  1. Ignite the Battlefield: Activate his Elemental Burst to deal Pyro damage and gain increased Normal Attack speed.
  2. Unleash the Blazing Strike: Spam his Elemental Skill, “Blazing Strike,” to deal Pyro damage and generate energy for his Burst.
  3. Fuel the Flames: Use his Normal Attacks during Skill cooldowns to further build his Burst and support teammates through elemental reactions.

Tip: When paired with Xianyun and Bennett (C6), prioritize Gaming’s Normal Attacks for optimal damage.

Artifacts

Choosing the right artifacts is crucial for maximizing Gaming’s potential. Here are some top options:

  • Marechaussee Hunter (4-piece): Ideal for utilizing his HP mechanic. The 4-piece bonus grants a powerful Crit Rate buff based on HP changes, synergizing well with his self-healing and HP consumption. Remember to balance with Crit DMG in sub-stats or weapon to avoid over-critting.

Gaming Build Genshin Impact

  • Crimson Witch of Flames (4-piece): A classic Pyro DPS set, offering stackable Pyro DMG bonus and reaction damage buffs. Perfect for maximizing raw Pyro damage.
  • Gilded Dreams (4-piece): An alternative for an EM-focused build and team composition. Provides Elemental Mastery and ATK buffs based on team composition.

For beginners or incomplete artifact sets, consider these 2-piece combinations:

  • Gladiator’s Finale/Shimenawa’s Reminiscence/Vermillion Hereafter/Echoes of an Offering/Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Wood

Remember, the best build ultimately depends on your team composition and playstyle. Experiment and find what works best for you!

Team Comps

Xingqiu/Yelan/Fischl, Bennett, Kazuha

This team focuses on maximizing Vaporize reactions, the bread and butter of Pyro DPS.

Bennett fuels reactions and heals, while Kazuha shreds enemy defenses for even more damage.

Xianyun, Bennett, Xiangling/Xingqiu/Rosaria

Xianyun’s arrival ignites a new synergy. She buffs Gaming’s plunge attacks and heals him, while Bennett (C6) enables off-field Pyro DPS. Xiangling enhances the Pyro resonance for increased ATK, while Xingqiu or Rosaria offer alternative reaction options.

Nahida, Baizhu/Yaoyao, Yelan/Xingqiu/Fischl

Embrace the power of Dendro with this Burgeon-focused team. Nahida, Baizhu, or Yaoyao provide Dendro application, while Yelan, Xingqiu, or Fischl trigger Burgeon reactions with Hydro. Gaming serves as an EM-focused Pyro enabler, amplifying Dendro Core explosions.

Armed with this guide, venture into Teyvat and harness the blazing might of Gaming. Master his combos, fine-tune your builds, and witness your enemies succumb to the fiery hero’s wrath. May your journey through Genshin Impact be ablaze with success!
