Optimal Sandy Build

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

• Gadget: Sweet Dreams: This gadget puts opponents to sleep for one second (interrupted by damage). Use it when fully loaded, near an enemy, and close to allies for coordinated attacks. It's also effective defensively, buying you time to escape.

• Star Power: Rude Star: This enhances Sandstorm by adding damage to enemies within its radius. Activate it when surrounded by both allies and enemies for a powerful team assault. Note: Rude Star cancels any stuns from Sweet Dreams.

• Gears: Exhausting Storm & Damage: Exhausting Storm reduces enemy damage within the Sandstorm by 20%, while Damage boosts Sandy's attack by 50% below half health.

Ideal Sandy Teammates

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

• Jacky: Her ability pulls enemies close, setting up perfect Sandstorm traps.

• Surge: A high-damage dealer who compensates for Sandy's low damage output.

• Gene: Similar to Jacky, he can pull enemies into Sandstorm's range.

Additional Strategies

• Position Sandstorm near bushes for easy escapes and ambush opportunities.

• Counter enemy Sandstorms with your own, using Rude Star's damage to reveal enemy positions.

Sandy's effectiveness hinges on teamwork. While powerful, strategic coordination with your team is key to victory.
