In Genshin 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.
Gaming is 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.
9. Lithic Blade
- Rarity: Four-Star
- Base ATK: 510
- Secondary Stat: ATK (41.3 percent)
- Obtainable through: Limited Weapon Banner
Lithic Blade provides 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.
8. Skyward Pride
- Rarity: Five-Star
- Base ATK: 674
- Secondary Stat: Energy Recharge (36.8 percent)
- Obtainable through: Standard and Weapon Banners
Skyward Pride provides 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.
7. Rainslasher
- Rarity: Four-Star
- Base ATK: 510
- Secondary Stat: Elemental Mastery (165)
- Obtainable through: All Wishing Banners
Rainslasher increases 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.
6. Wolf’s Gravestone
- Rarity: Five-Star
- Base ATK: 608
- Secondary Stat: ATK (49.6 percent)
- Obtainable through: Standard and Weapon Banners
Wolf’s Gravestone is 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.
5. Tidal Shadow
- Rarity: Four-Star
- Base ATK: 510
- Secondary Stat: ATK (41.3 percent)
- Obtainable through: Forging
Tidal Shadow is part of the Fontaine craftable series, which revolves around healing in order 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.
4. Ultimate Overlord’s Mega Magic Sword
- Rarity: Four-Star
- Base ATK: 565
- Secondary Stat: Energy Recharge (30.6 percent)
- Obtainable through: Limited Event
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.

- Rarity: Five-Star
- Base ATK: 608
- Secondary Stat: CRIT Rate (33.1 percent)
- Obtainable through: Limited Weapon Banner
The Beacon of the Reed Sea is 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.
