Genshin Impact Gaming build and materials guide
Become the ultimate war dancer with the best Genshin Impact Gaming build and show your friends who the greatest gamer among you is. Alright, enough with the memes: Gaming’s name has obviously become a major meme in the western community, because we’ve pronounced it the wrong way from the start – it’s more like “ja-ming” as in “jiu-jitsu” or similar words. With that aside, the 4-Star character dealing Pyro Damage and wielding a claymore is an interesting fellow due to his specialization on Plunging Attacks.
His Elemental Skill, Bestial Ascent, allows Gaming to pounce forward and then leap into the air upon hitting an enemy or another obstacle. This allows him to use a boosted Plunging Attack called Charmed Cloudstrider, which deals Pyro Damage and consumes some HP.
This is Gaming himself.

Gaming’s Elemental Burst, Suanni’s Gilded Dance, enables him to enter the Wushou Stance, which briefly applies the Pyro effect to him and restores some HP. It also summons Man Chai, his Suanni companion, who smashes into the target enemy and deals Pyro Damage in an area of effect. Man Chai will then move back towards Gaming, vanishing once they meet and resetting the cooldown of Bestial Ascent. While Wushou Stance is active, Gaming has increased Interruption Resistance and can summon Man Chai again if he has over 50% of his HP after using Bestial Ascent.
His Passive Skills contain abilities that further boost Plunging Attacks, especially when he’s got more than 50% of his HP, so you’ll want to keep Gaming healed up.
Best Gaming weapons – Genshin Impact
Gaming is filling a DPS role and wants to have as many offensive stats as possible. A claymore like Wolf’s Gravestone provides the necessary Attack % buffs to give his strikes some oomph – and its passive effect generates additional Attack % for all his allies, which is especially great for players using him alongside Xianyun.
Here are the best weapons for Gaming in Genshin Impact:
- Wolf’s Gravestone (5-Star claymore)
- Beacon of the Reed Sea (5-Star claymore)
- Tidal Shadow (4-Star claymore)
- Prototype Archaic (4-Star claymore)
- Lithic Blade (4-Star claymore)
- Talking Stick (4-Star claymore)
- Mailed Flower (4-Star claymore)
If you disrespect Gaming, Man Chai is going to come for you.

Best Gaming artifacts – Genshin Impact
Though Gaming isn’t a Fontaine character, he has a mechanic that decreases and increases his own HP, making him eligible for benefiting from Marechaussee Hunter. It boosts his Normal and Charged Attacks and will provide additional Critical Hit Rate whenever his HP changes.
If all your good Marechaussee Hunter pieces are already in use, Crimson Witch of Burning Flames of Vermillion Hereafter are solid alternatives to increase Gaming’s damage output.
You’ll want the following stat distribution on Gaming’s artifacts:
- Flower: HP (main stat), Critical Hit Rate, Critical Hit Damage, Attack %, Elemental Mastery (secondary stats)
- Plume: Attack (main stat), Critical Hit Rate, Critical Hit Damage, Attack %, Elemental Mastery (secondary stats)
- Sands: Attack % (main stat), Critical Hit Rate, Critical Hit Damage, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge (secondary stats)
- Goblet: Pyro Damage % (main stat), Critical Hit Rate, Critical Hit Damage, Attack %, Elemental Mastery (secondary stats)
- Circlet: Critical Hit Rate or Critical Hit Damage (main stat), Critical Hit Rate or Critical Hit Damage, Attack %, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge (secondary stats)
Gaming is trying to perfect his Wushou dancing arts.

Best Gaming teams – Genshin Impact
Gaming is a Main DPS character, who may not replace your current Pyro superstar in terms of sheer damage output, but will allow you to freshen up your gameplay experience thanks to his Plunging Attack playstyle. He’s definitely going to be in his own little niche.
Gaming can easily replace someone like Diluc or Hu Tao in a Xianyun composition. The Adeptus will boost Gaming’s Plunging Attack damage and provide elemental resistance shredding, while Bennett contributes further offensive buffs and more healing. Furina delivers off-field application of Hydro effects, which Gaming can use to trigger Vaporize, and even additional healing, in case it’s needed. She’s also going to allow Gaming to make full use of Marechaussee Hunter due to sapping the entire team’s HP.
Unlike Diluc or Hu Tao, Gaming can use his Plunging Attacks to great effect even without Xianyun, enabling you to switch up the team composition around him. Keep Bennett in place and simply swap out the Anemo and Hydro characters for figures of the same elements.
Gaming's fighting style is spectacular, fiery, and full of aerial acrobatics.

Gaming ascension materials – Genshin Impact
You’ll want to quickly raise Gaming’s level when you pull him, which means that you’ll need to farm his ascension materials. You’ll also require some material to upgrade his talents.
Here’s what you need to get Gaming to level 90:
- Agnidus Agate Sliver x1
- Agnidus Agate Fragment x9
- Agnidus Agate Chunk x9
- Agnidus Agate Gemstone x6
- Slime Condensate x18
- Slime Secretions x30
- Slime Concentrate x36
- Starconch x168
- Emperor’s Resolution x46
- Mora x2,092,530
Farming Agnidus Agate is pretty straightforward, as you can reliably get it from Pyro-affiliated enemies like the Pyro Hypostasis in Inazuma or the Pyro Regisvine in Liyue. However, you’ll want to target the Emperor of Fire and Iron in Fontaine, since it not only provides Agnidus Agate, but also the Emperor’s Resolution boss drop you require.
Slimes can be found pretty much everywhere in Teyvat and will drop the materials you need as well, while Starconches are found on the coast of Liyue. As always, the best way to earn more Mora is to farm Golden Ley Line Blossoms.
Here’s what you need to upgrade all of Gaming’s talents to their maximum level:
- Slime Condensate x18
- Slime Secretions x66
- Slime Concentrate x93
- Teachings of Prosperity x9
- Guide to Prosperity x63
- Philosophies of Prosperity x114
- Lightless Mass x18
- Crown of Insight x3
- Mora x4,957,500
For the materials mentioned already, check above. Books of Prosperity are available from the Taishan Mansion Domain in Liyue on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Lightless Mass is a boss material gained from fighting the All-Devouring Narwhal in Fontaine. Crowns of Insight are available through time-limited events as well as regional reward tracks such as Inazuma’s Thunder Sakura, Sumeru’s Tree of Dreams, and Fontaine’s Fountain of Lucine.
