Yoimiya vs Gaming
The professional firework maker vs. the Wushin dancer
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Yoimiya if…
- Against flying enemies where Gaming cannot reach
- If you want a carry who is effective without needing a specific 5-star support
- For the simplest possible Pyro DPS experience
Pick Gaming if…
- If you have Xianyun to enable his powerful plunge attacks
- When you need more AoE damage than Yoimiya can provide
- As a high-value F2P carry option at high constellations
Yoimiya is the more reliable single-target carry, especially against mobile enemies. Gaming, when paired with Xianyun, can actually rival her damage while offering much better AoE, making him a top-tier 4-star.
At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Yoimiya
- Niwabi Fire-Dance fired by Yoimiya's Normal Attack will be Blazing Arrows, and their DMG will be increased and.
- Ryuukin Saxifrage fires forth blazing rockets bursting with surprises that deal AoE Pyro DMG and mark one of the hit.
- Natural fit for Pyro Main DPS slots without forcing a weird team shape.
- Needs honest Energy Recharge or a battery friend before the kit feels smooth.
- Ceiling teams lean on limited partners, so a bare roster won't show the brochure damage.
Gaming
- Bestial Ascent this Plunging Attack is Pyro DMG and Gaming will consume HP while doing his Plunging Attack.
- Suanni's Gilded Dance enters the Wushou Stance which applies Pyro to Gaming and recovers HP.
- Does the Main DPS job with clear Pyro identity rather than vague flex value.
- Needs honest Energy Recharge or a battery friend before the kit feels smooth.
- Constellation breakpoints matter more than the C0 kit advertises.
Shared Team Members
