Gaming Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: DPS

Gaming is a 4-star Pyro Claymore character from Liyue who excels in the DPS role. Ascending Gaming grants bonus ATK%, complementing a stat priority of CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery. For the Marechaussee Hunter DPS setup, equip Marechaussee Hunter (Denouement of Sin) with Elemental Mastery or ATK% Sands, Pyro DMG Bonus% Goblet, and CRIT DMG Circlet. Serpent Spine (CRIT Rate) is the top recommended weapon, while Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

With his kit having innate HP fluctations, this Gaming build uses the Marechaussee Hunter CRIT Rate artifact set, which allows him to focus on stats like CRIT Damage. This set is generally easier to build for stat balancing, even if the 2-piece set won't work for him. Equipping Elemental Mastery sands or weapons is also recommended for Vaporize or Melt, although you can make up for it if you have enough CRIT and Elemental Mastery on your substats. * These weapons are only used for the CRIT Main Stat as a stat stick, but their weapon effects do not necessarily work with Gaming.
