Summary
InGenshin Impact, a lot can be said about a character depending on what weapon you choose to give them. This is especially true for DPS characters, as the varying stats and buffs provide a significant increase to their main source of DMG, such as Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks.
Gamingis a four-star claymore-wielding character who possesses a Pyro vision. His playstyle involves spamming his Elemental Skill to leap into the air and unleash a barrage of powerful Plunging Attacks. Making sure he’s geared with the right weapon is key to making him soar to even greater heights.
9Lithic Blade
Lithic Bladeprovides seven percent ATK and three percent CRIT Rate to the user for every party member who hails from Liyue. Gaming already provides one stack to this passive as he comes from Liyue, and pairing him with other Liyue characters will only make him stronger.
This is a great weapon for Gaming as it provides an abundance of ATK stats, which he appreciates, as well as some CRIT Rate for easier building. The only catch with this weapon is that it restricts his team options. Luckily, most supports that work well with him also hail from Liyue, such as Xingqiu, Yelan, Xianyun, and even Xiangling.
8Skyward Pride
Skyward Prideprovides a reasonable eight percent boost in Gaming’s DMG. But more importantly, it boasts extremely high Base ATK,being a five-star weapon, as well as a high ER secondary stat, which helps you get your Elemental Burst back faster.
Gaming’s DMG potential significantly increases when his Elemental Burst is active, so the huge amount of ER that he gets from this weapon is extremely valuable. Additionally, having high Base ATK allows ATK percent buffs such as Noblesse Oblige’s four-piece effect to skyrocket his ATK stat.
7Rainslasher
Rainslasherincreases Gaming’s DMG against opponents that are affected by Hydro or Electro by 20 percent. This is a solid option if you plan to use him with Hydro supports such as Xingqiu, Yelan, or Furina in Vaporize teams.
Because Vaporize requires you to hit a Hydro-affected enemy with Gaming’s Pyro attacks, he has no problem triggering this weapon’s passive. Paired with the EM secondary stat, Gaming will be hitting huge Vaporize numbers as EM increases the DMG of Elemental Reactions.
The Limited Event weapon Mailed Flower also performs similarly to Rainslasher, with both providing Elemental Mastery to increase his Elemental Reaction DMG. Use whichever has a higher refinement.
6Wolf’s Gravestone
Wolf’s Gravestoneis a classic five-star weapon that’s been around since the game’s launch, and has been a great option ever since. Its strength comes from its ability to provide massive amounts of ATK to the wielder, more than any other claymore in the game.
Its passive increases the wielder’s ATK by 20 percent, and an additional 40 percent for the entire team when you hit an enemy whose HP is less than 30 percent. Its only drawback is the 30-second cooldown before being able to trigger the second part of the passive again, making its uptime inconsistent, but it’s a strong weapon nonetheless.
5Tidal Shadow
Tidal Shadowis part of the Fontaine craftable series, which revolves around healing to buff your characters. After the wielder is healed, their ATK will be increased by 24 percent for eight seconds. This effect can be triggered even when they’re not on the field.
Since Gaming can both drain his own HP and even heal himself, he has no problems activating this weapon’s passive, which means he can always have the ATK buff during battle. As it’s accessible through the blacksmith, you can easily reach maximum refinement, which lets you double the ATK that Tidal Shadow provides for a staggering 48 percent ATK, on top of its already high ATK secondary stat.
4Ultimate Overlord’s Mega Magic Sword
This magical sword came as a reward for completing the Roses and Muskets Event during Version 4.3. It provides much needed ER through its secondary stat, which allows you to get Gaming’s Elemental Burst back faster, and increases your ATK.
Its unique passive requires you to actually explore the game and complete a series of quests. At default, this weapon provides 12 percent ATK, and helping Melusines in Merusea Village can give you more ATK, up to an additional 12 percent. If you were able to claim all its refinement materials from the event, the effects are doubled, for a total of 48 percent ATK.
3Serpent Spine
Serpent Spineis one of two claymores that you can obtain after unlocking and progressing through the second tier of the Battle Pass. As such, this weapon provides CRIT Rate as its secondary stat, which is rare among four-star weapons. Its passive increases the wielder’s DMG by three percent for every four seconds that they’re on the field, for a maximum of five stacks or a massive 30 percent DMG Bonus.
Its drawback is that you lose one stack whenever Gaming takes DMG. However, as he’s mostly doing Plunging Attacks, avoiding taking DMG is quite manageable, and usingshielding characters such as Zhonglior Diona ensures that he’s always at max stacks. As DMG Bonus is a rarer buff than ATK, this weapon provides immense value for Gaming’s DMG, especially with its CRIT Rate secondary stat, which makes building him easier.
2Verdict
TheVerdictbelongs to thepresident of Spina di Rosula, Navia, which boasts high Base ATK, the much-coveted CRIT Rate secondary stat, as well as 20 percent ATK by default. It increases Elemental Skill DMG by 18 percent whenever any of your party members pick up a Crystallize shard, with a maximum of two stacks.
Pairing Gaming with Geo characters such as Zhongli or Albedo will allow you to trigger the passive more reliably. This weapon may appear niche due to its passive, but its raw stats alone make it one of Gaming’s best weapons, which means you may completely ignore its passive and still deal huge DMG.
1Beacon Of The Reed Sea
TheBeacon of the Reed Seais Dehya’s signature weapon, which, like Verdict, provides CRIT Rate through its secondary stat, and allows Gaming to reach perfect CRIT stats. It also provides the highest CRIT Rate out of all the CRIT Rate weapons in this list.
When Gaming’s Elemental Skill hits an opponent, his ATK will be increased by 20 percent, and when he takes DMG, he receives another 20 percent ATK boost. It also boosts his HP by 32 percent if he isn’t protected by a shield. With high Base ATK, 40 percent ATK boost, and CRIT Rate, this weapon is easily the best weapon to use to maximize Gaming’s DMG.
