Sandy's attack consists of piercing sand bullets covering a wide area, but dealing low damage. His Super, Sandstorm, is where his true strength lies. This nine-second sandstorm obscures allies from enemy sight, creating crucial tactical advantages.

Gadget: Sweet Dreams is the superior choice. This gadget puts opponents to sleep for one second (interrupted by damage). Use it strategically with full ammo, near allies, to coordinate a swift takedown. It's also effective defensively, buying you time to escape.

Star Power: Rude Star enhances Sandy's Sandstorm by adding damage to enemies within its radius. Activate this when surrounded by both allies and enemies for a coordinated assault. Note: Rude Star negates the Sweet Dreams stun.

Gears: Exhausting Storm reduces enemy damage within the Sandstorm by 20%, while Damage boosts Sandy's attack by 50% below half health, transforming him into a late-game threat.

Sandy's fragility necessitates strong protective teammates. Here are excellent choices:

  • Jacky: Her pull ability creates perfect setups for Sandy's Sandstorm, trapping enemies.
  • Surge: Provides substantial damage output, compensating for Sandy's lower damage.
  • Gene: Similar to Jacky, Gene's pull ability helps control enemy positioning within the Sandstorm's area of effect.

Additional Tips

Position your Sandstorm near bushes for easy escapes and ambush opportunities. Against another Sandy, counter their Sandstorm with your own, leveraging Rude Star's damage to reveal enemy positions.

Sandy's effectiveness hinges on teamwork. While powerful, he needs support to fully realize his potential.
