1. Holy cow, this guy can eat! The only other character that talks about food this much is Xiangling but that aligns with her profession. Gaming is just always chowing down.

2. Quick question: which artifact set is the best on him? I was thinking Marcheusse Hunter (obviously) or Crimson Witch, but i can’t quite chose

   • marechausse 2p doesnt buff his plunges and 4p can make him overcap on crit so loses some value (mainly at c6)
     crimson witch has a slow ramp-up sadly so might not be that great
     he can also use vermillion tho but unless you’re using furina then it has the same problem as crimson witch and if you’re using xianyun then all that atk% has less value
     there’s also shimenawa but he really needs to burst every rotation so the extra er cost might make it not great either
     and finally there’s gilded dreams which is easy to play but ithink it has slightly lower dps than all the other sets

     he doesn’t have good synergy with any set sadly, up to you to choose

     • I’d just take Marechaussee, it’s easy to farm and he maxes it out in 1 plunge

   • I think the best set for him right now is 2pc crimson with + 2pc glad/shimenawa. Marcheusse is good as well if you paired him Furina.

   • people should stop answer people keep asking the same thing, they’re more stupid than the poster if they answer
     if someone is so braindead to write this question over and over, without searching it first, it’s his business, he doesnt deserve an answer
     it’s abusrd, really absurd
     since day0 people ask this, and again someone do it.
     is it so difficult search it alone?

     • Bro his name is literally “gaming” it takes at least thirty minutes to get the engine to show his character and not just show anything “gaming” in general, plus a ton of guides don’t really explain the comparison between Marachausse Hunter and Crimson as well as other sets.

3. To you, how’s possibile they didn’t nerf him / they made him so good?
   I really wonder this, because considering how many charas they ruin, even 5star (no need to mention dehya right?), it’s absurd they left him like this.
   What could the reason behind? they’re testing how many people would pull for him? for his c6? strange generosity? mistake? didn’t notice during random beta tests? other?

   • he is on field dps that need some sustaining. zero off-field presence and support capability prolly mean he is decent for some new player and that is what MHY want but for old player, any other onfield dps should replace him easily.

6. the fact they didn’t nerf him is 100% the most shocking thing they made so far, and i dont feel im exaggerating, because they’ve always tried to throw shittoyo’s shit to everything, especially by destroying potential good 4stars… but here, for some otherwordly reason, they left a 4star with over 300 base atk, with high multipliers, and with a fkn broken c6 (for 4star)
   def the best 4star since mondstadt, ngl
   im just here to wait and see the whole community’s reaction next month, because for sure he’ll be The Man of the next patch

   nonetheless, i still believe that hhoyo won’t get they have to make EVERY FKN CHARA like him, and not just once in a lifetime, and who knows why and for what strange mistake

7. would his hp drain remove the stacks from serpent spines passive???? i have a r5 serpent spine but i also have talking stick, but idk which one is better to use due to their difference in crit scaling and passives. i feel like talking sticks passive makes up for the lack in crit rate but if his hp drain doesn’t remove stacks from serpent spine then i’ll be going with that instead.

     • fyi, it’s not just enemies that can remove stacks. stepping on burning grass does so as well, for example.
       regardless, self-drain does not remove stacks so you’re still right, serpent spine would work on gaming just fine.

9. I’m glad that Gaming was heavily nerfed like many folks thought Mihiyo would do. I think the nerfs he did get were primarily to make him less self-sustaining at C0.

   As it stands, Gaming will be a clear powercreep of existing 4* characters who are Main DPS units. Even with the nerfs, at C0 Gaming seems roughly equivalent to C6 Noelle (and in turn, noticeably superior to every other 4* C6 main DPS).

   Gaming at C6 will be going toe to toe with most 5* main DPS units at C2. Not necessarily with the top tier ones.

   For example, Hu Tao will remain the best Pyro Main DPS due her amazing synergy with Xingiu and Yelen and being able to rapid fire reverse-vape charged attacks. For other elements, Alhaitham similarly is amazing with Dendro reaction damage, and Raiden Shogon, Neuvillette, and Ayaka have superior raw damage.

   However C6 Gaming will likely be around the power strength of high tier main DPS 5* units, characters like Navia or Lyney.

   Also I don’t necessarily think this is going to be a new trend. I still think that Gaming is meant to be Genshin Impact equivalent of Raito from Honkai Star Rail. A strong character released for free for a limited time. Only difference is that Gaming is a 4* while Raito is a 5*. And of course, Mihoyo always seem to be most generous around the Latern Rite annual events, it being a clear reference to Chinese New Year.

     • they probably meant the nerf to health regen, which only went down by 1%. ironic because the speed was increased so he can literally max MH in one plunge, making him stronger overall

   • the only nerf I could find was the healing from his c1 that went from 25% to 15%. He’s still very much hp positive so not that it matters.

     • So I made a typo. I meant to say that I was glad that Gaming was NOT heavily nerfed, from when Honey Hunter first his stats and kit to now.

       In addition to his nerf to his C1 (25% to 15% HP gain):

       His A1 used to give 10% max life, but was nerfed to 6%.
       His A4 was nerfed to give 20% plunging attack bonus instead of 20% Pyro bonus (so assume it is simply additive on his elemental skill scaling rather than a separate multiplier that elemental damage gives.

       He also got some slight buffs, namely that:

       The 6% life gain from AI was later changed from a single instance to being broken up into 4 instances in less than a second. That seems primarily to make the 4 piece Marechaussee Hunter max stacks after a single plunge instead of after 3 (when he would have dealt most of his damage before his burst runs out).

       He also gets the Pyro aura on himself for a brief period after castings his burst, which I assume is meant for the Walking Stick BP weapon, as well as future weapons and artifacts sets that require the Pyro aura to be cast on himself.

       So overall he is slightly nerfed in that he is doing slightly less damage and is noticeably more fragile.

       At C0 he will struggle to consistently stay above 50% life (to allow proper usage of his burst’s skill cooldown reset effect) without a dedicated healer.

       The nerfed C1 means that he will be able stay above 50% on his own, but just barely. The HP gain from C1 is equal to the HP loss after using an enhanced plunge attack, so he will only be getting the 6% net gain life back, instead of the 16% net life gain he got before. So if he gets knocked around he is in trouble. While his attack is 5* worthy, his HP and defense are more in line with his fellow 4*. All of his optimal teams are going to require a dedicated healer like Bennett, Xianyun, or Baizhu (on Burgeon teams).

       Nonetheless, in my opinion, he will still be far and beyond the best 4* main DPS in the game, and probably the 7th best 4* overall. Top 5 are of course the OG monsters of Xinqiu, Bennett, Xiangling, Fischl, and Sucrose. Gaming will in the middle of the NG trio:

       Kuki is 6th best 4* due to how key she is in hyperbloom and quicken based teams
       Diona is 8th best due to her shield, healing, cyro battery, movement speed boost and EM boost at C6, only really missing out in raw damage.

   • “I’m glad that Gaming was heavily nerfed like many folks thought Mihiyo would do”

     Why Genshin players deserve less.

     Also, saying he got “heavily nerfed” implies that he got shafted quite badly during the beta, which is a massive inaccuracy. He got minor tweaks and an almost inconsequential number change. He was basically untouched the entire beta. And thank god. Imagine if he got Faruzan’d or Dehya’d.

10. Gaming is the real 5* of this patch. Xianyun more like midyun.
