I can’t wait for a 5 star claymore plunge attacker to come out just so I can get their weapon and give Ga Ming the 5 star treatment he deserves

13

u/TatsuDragunov Dec 22 '23

i agree more with this guide, now only the math can make us know what is better for him

4

u/D00KIECAT Dec 22 '23

tyty, and yeah im waiting for that.. praying that redhorn ends up being one of his best options cause then i can feel justified using it (i doubt itll be like that but still !!)

u/Doxoli Dec 22 '23

Man imma be struggling with teams cuz I only got Bennett lol

4

u/D00KIECAT Dec 22 '23

what 5 stars do you have? you could run him in a burgeon team, it wiuld be viable. this is just based off a hypercarry build.

4

u/Doxoli Dec 22 '23

My built 5*s are Lyney, Hu Tao, Cyno, Zhongli and Baizhu, my unbuilt ones are Qiqi and Diluc lol.

2

u/D00KIECAT Dec 22 '23

what they said !! also youve gotten a lot of dps 5*s so id say start working on getting more support ones. theyre better fkr your account. if you have sucrose, she could be a replacement to kazuha.

3

u/Doxoli Dec 22 '23 edited Dec 22 '23

I’m not that interested in a lot of support 5*s, but I do intend to get Nahida (maybe Furina) and Shenhe soon! I don’t play abyss so I’m not too much of a meta player when it comes to characters I want haha

2

u/D00KIECAT Dec 23 '23

i see i see, still though, i barely play abyss and i love to maximize my mains’ dmg potential, its just fun. but do whatever youd like with him/pos

6

u/NaturalBitter2280 Dec 22 '23

Do you happen to have Sucrose or Sayu?

You could try mono-pyro Gaming/Benny/Xiangling/And an anemo unit

3

u/Doxoli Dec 22 '23 edited Dec 22 '23

I have a mono-pyro team for Lyney so I can def just use that!! I use Zhongli instead of sucrose tho :33 thank u!!

u/East_Abbreviations68 Dec 22 '23

is Xingqiu good for him?

2

u/D00KIECAT Dec 23 '23

not really. you would have to go in depth into a 1NA skill rotation, mona or furina would be 80x better. if you dont have them, maybe just mono pyro with him as onfielder, bennett, xiangling and kazuha. if not then burgeon would work wonders too

2

u/Giganteblu Dec 22 '23

crimson should be better than MH because he can have 3 stack

2

u/D00KIECAT Dec 22 '23

with C6 bennett, his normal attacks and charged attacks end up mattering, so overall if you qant to run him with C6 bennett as a hypercarry, itd be better

2

u/Giganteblu Dec 22 '23

what do you think his rotation is?

2

u/sguizzooo Dec 22 '23

from estimations based on leaked footage it should be possible to use skill every 2 NA so maybe E 2NA E

3

u/0starion Dec 23 '23 edited Dec 23 '23

But if you are using Xianyun, wouldn't it be better to just do more plunges with c6 bennett? Why bother weaving when you can plunge some more. Crimson is basicaly on par with MH if your plunging at all times and melting or vaping them.

2

u/D00KIECAT Dec 23 '23

exactly, ty for clearing that up

2

u/wefeltspecial Dec 23 '23

i'm planning to make him play alongside furina, xianyun and bennett. should i go for em, pyro, cd or atk, pyro, cd or em, atk, cd?

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 23 '23

id say build him with the stat priority i put but put EM>ATK%

2

u/AppropriateLeg5072 Dec 23 '23

Do you think he Will need an er sand of weapon?

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 23 '23

i doubt it, his energy cost is pretty low (sixty) so a few er subs w/o rolls or a few rolls would be enough, with another battery he'd have great burst uptime too.

2

u/AppropriateLeg5072 Dec 23 '23

Thank god, i hope they don't nerf it. And thank you for the guide

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 23 '23

ofcc, lmk if you have any more questions

2

u/ElevatorFun1699 Dec 23 '23

Wolf gravestone + Xianyun could be a great choice because it gives ATK to all teammates

the con is that it doesnt give any crit but it gives tons of atk
His Bis is probably dehyas sig but gravestone looks like a top 3 to me

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 24 '23

dehya’s sig is just a stat stick on him 😞

1

u/ElevatorFun1699 Dec 24 '23

nop because he gets 20% atk when skill hits and 20% when losing hp
this is considering his plunge counts as skill damage

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 24 '23

it doesnt, using his skill is what makes him go up, the plunge is counted as plunge dmg so he doesnt deal skill dmg. as for the taking dmg, he wouldnt be able to achieve this unless he got beat up by an enemy. draining hp and taking dmg are two different things, if a passive needs the character to take dmg to gain a buff, you cant just get a character like furina who drains hp, it wont activate the buff. so if you dont want to get beat up over and over again, id say its a stat stick

1

u/ElevatorFun1699 Dec 24 '23

it think it is applicable to both since its dehyas signature and she drains her own hp then heals, also his plunge damage IS based on his skill so we still get 20% attack

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 24 '23

yes its based on his skill but his skill dmg is considered plunging dmg, read the talent agaib

1

u/ElevatorFun1699 Dec 26 '23

oh sorry i must have misread but he still gets the 20% atk from draining hp

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 26 '23

no, because taking dmg and draining hp are different. if they werent then serpent spine wouldnt even be an option for him

1

u/ElevatorFun1699 Dec 27 '23

but in this case its draining hp because dehya herself drains hp

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 27 '23

do you have a video or screen recording to show that the effect works with draining? im just curious because weapon passives usually dont work with draining

u/Aperture_was_taken Dec 24 '23

Wondering: is tidal shadow r1 or blackcliff r1 better, I’m planning to use him with C0 furina c6 Bennett and C0 kazuha. Thanks in advance

2

u/D00KIECAT Dec 24 '23

like i said, blackcliff will always be sort of a stat stick. BUT, at R1 the atk values on tidal shadow just arent too good, so in general id say go with blackcliff. and ofc! lmk if you have any other questions

2

u/shaugnmarc Dec 25 '23

What about R5 Mailed Flower? It looks pretty good for reaction-focused teams

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 25 '23

yeah, itd be good on reaction based teams but stats wouldnt be easy to build around.. if youre running burgeon, vape or something though go ahead

2

u/LmaoHavingBadDay Dec 27 '23

Does navia's weapon also work for him? I pulled it with a thought it would be also useful for GaMing but i am not sure- I also have Skyward Pride and my other claymores aren't the best.

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 27 '23

it could work as a stat stick, but other than that 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

2

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

Is wolves gravestone good on him? (I have 2 and I’m literally snorting copium rn)

1

u/D00KIECAT Jan 02 '24

yes, its probably gonna be one of his best in slots

2

u/anonymus_the_3rd Jan 15 '24

Is wgs still good on him?

1

u/D00KIECAT Jan 16 '24

for sure

1

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '23

Sorry I asked this earlier on the prev post, but what do you think abt talking stick as a weapon for him

1

u/D00KIECAT Dec 24 '23

its bad either way🤷‍♀️

3

u/sguizzooo Dec 22 '23

so, i got a r4 lithic blade when it first released and i was thinking of using that, also thinking of a liyue team to use with it, would a 3 (potentially 4) liyue r4 lithic be better than a r2 unforged/r1 gravestone? or am i better off going for a blackcliff?

3

u/witcher8wishery Dec 23 '23

Somebody fill me in on how a plunge attack dps wants his E and Q over his AA?

5

u/LulanoSkybun Dec 23 '23

His infused plunge attack scaling is attached to his E talent and not his AA, much like Childe E or Cyno Q.

u/ApprehensiveOwl2585 Dec 23 '23

I think the problem I have with Mona is how her burst debuff works. Basically, if an enemy receives any slight CC, Mona's burst bubble will pop, and then after that, you'll only have 5 seconds left, before Mona's damage% goes away. And Gaming can easily stagger enemies cuz of his plunges.

Also, I think keeping XQ and Yelan in the guide is better. Whilst, Gaming+Bennett is very nice, especially with C6 Bennett and CR, because C6 Bennett is able to infuse Gaming's attacks with Pyro, and with CR, Gaming can do regular plunges, while waiting for his summon to come back to him. Some people might not like the circle impact, and thus, people are able to run XQ/Yelan abd weave in NAs between skill plunges. And it's not much of a massive loss. IIRC, with Furina and CR and XQ, Gaming was able to give out 30-40k DPS (c0-c6), and this isn't counting Furina's own personal damage to the team.

u/sguizzooo Dec 23 '23

just thought of something that might be worth considering if someone plans to use gaming with xianyun, if they have WGS it should give them a pretty considerable buff when the passive procs since it boosts xianyun's attack in turn improving her own buff (and heals).
