Sandy's attack consists of piercing sand bullets with wide area coverage but low damage. His Sandstorm Super hides allies for nine seconds, making him a game-changer.

Sweet Dreams Gadget: This gadget puts opponents to sleep for one second (damage wakes them). Use it with full ammo near allies for coordinated attacks. It's also effective defensively, buying you escape time.

Rude Star Star Power: Increases Sandstorm's damage while hiding allies. Activate when surrounded by allies and enemies for a coordinated assault. Avoid using the gadget while Sandstorm is active, as Rude Star's damage negates the stun.

Exhausting Storm & Damage Gears: Exhausting Storm reduces enemy damage within Sandstorm by 20 percent. Damage boosts Sandy's attack by 50 percent below half health.

Best Sandy Teammates

Best teammates for Sandy.

Sandy excels as a support Brawler, needing protection. These teammates complement his weaknesses:

  • Jacky: Her ability pulls enemies close, setting up perfect Sandstorm traps.
  • Surge: Provides high damage output to capitalize on Sandstorm's crowd control.
  • Gene: Like Jacky, Gene's pull ability extends Sandstorm's reach, bringing enemies into its area of effect.

Additional Tips

Position Sandstorm near bushes for easy escapes and ambush opportunities. Against another Sandy, counter their Super with your own; Rude Star reveals enemy positions through damage over time.

Remember, teamwork is crucial for Sandy's success. Utilize his support capabilities effectively with the right teammates and strategies.
