Sandy's primary 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, dramatically shifting the battle's momentum.

Sweet Dreams, Sandy's optimal gadget, puts opponents to sleep for a second (unless they take damage). Use it strategically with full ammo near allies to quickly eliminate sleeping foes. A follow-up stun maximizes its effectiveness. Defensively, it provides crucial escape time.

Rude Star, his best Star Power, adds damage to his Sandstorm, complementing its cloaking effect. Activate it when surrounded by allies and enemies for a coordinated assault. Remember, Rude Star negates stuns from your gadget while active.

For Gears, Exhausting Storm (reducing enemy damage within the Sandstorm by 20%) and Damage (boosting Sandy's attack by 50% below half health) are the ideal choices.

Sandy, while potent, is a glass cannon; he needs protection. These teammates excel at covering his weaknesses:

  • Jacky: Her drill pulls enemies close, setting up perfect Sandstorm traps.
  • Surge: Provides immense damage output with both regular attacks and his ultimate.
  • Gene: His pull ability brings enemies into Sandstorm range, extending its effectiveness.

Other Tips

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

Mastering Sandy requires teamwork. While powerful, coordinated play is key to victory.
