Gaming in is an amazing Main DPS character in Genshin Impact who belongs to the 4-star rarity. He is among the few damage dealers in the game who rely on their Plunge Attacks to deal damage. Overall, he is an ATK-scaling character who can deal considerable Pyro damage to enemies. Also, you must note that his healing scales off his HP, and as such, you must also pay attention to that stat when building him.

When it comes to Gaming’s abilities, they’re quite straightforward. His Elemental Skill is what allows him to leap in the air and then perform a Plunge Attack, and it will be your primary way to inflict damage with him. As for his Elemental Burst, it summons his companion Suanni Man Chai to the field to attack enemies. Every time it does so, it immediately resets Gaming’s Elemental Skill, letting you use it multiple times. Additionally, the Burst also initiates the Wushou Dance state, and under its influence, Gaming gains resistance to interruption and can heal himself.

How to Play Gaming

Here’s how to play Gaming in your teams:

  1. Upon taking the field after your Sub-DPS characters have used their abilities, begin your offense with Gaming’s Elemental Skill.
  2. Follow it up with his Elemental Burst to summon Suanni Man Chai to the field. Let it attack enemies and link back with you. Then immediately use Elemental Skill to perform a Plunge Attack again.
  3. Repeat this process until the Burst ends.
