Sandy's attack involves wide-area piercing sand bullets, but the real power lies in his Super, Sandstorm. This nine-second sandstorm obscures allies from enemy sight, providing crucial tactical advantages.

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

Rude Star (Star Power): In addition to hiding allies, the Sandstorm damages enemies within its radius. Activate it when surrounded by both allies and enemies for a powerful coordinated assault. Note: Rude Star negates the stun from Sweet Dreams.

Exhausting Storm (Gear 1): Debilitate enemies within the Sandstorm, reducing their damage output by 20 percent.

Damage (Gear 2): Boost Sandy's attack power by 50 percent when his health falls below half.

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

  • Jacky: Her ability to pull enemies close synergizes perfectly with Sandy's Sandstorm, creating ideal trapping opportunities.

  • Surge: Provides substantial damage output with both regular attacks and his ultimate, compensating for Sandy's lower damage.

  • Gene: Similar to Jacky, Gene's pull ability helps control enemy positioning, ensuring they're within Sandy's Sandstorm.

Additional Tips

  • Position your Sandstorm near bushes to allow for quick escapes and advantageous ambushes.

  • Counter enemy Sandstorms with your own, using Rude Star to locate opponents through the damage over time (DoT).

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