Optimal Sandy Build
Sandy's primary attack consists of wide-ranging, low-damage sand bullets. His Sandstorm Super (lasting nine seconds) cloaks allies within its radius, offering crucial tactical advantages.
| Equipment | Option |
|---|---|
| Gadget | Sweet Dreams |
| Star Power | Rude Star |
| Gear 1 | Exhausting Storm |
| Gear 2 | Damage |
-
Gadget: Sweet Dreams: This one-second sleep effect on opponents is best used when fully loaded and near allies. Combine it with a follow-up attack for swift eliminations. It also serves as a defensive escape tool.
-
Star Power: Rude Star: This enhances Sandstorm, adding damage to enemies within its area of effect. Ideal when surrounded by both allies and enemies, allowing for coordinated attacks. Avoid using Sweet Dreams while Sandstorm is active, as Rude Star's damage will prematurely wake stunned foes.
-
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.
Best Sandy Teammates
Sandy's fragility necessitates strong defensive teammates. Here are top choices:
-
Jacky: Her ability to pull enemies close perfectly complements Sandy's Sandstorm, creating effective traps.
-
Surge: A high-damage dealer who offsets Sandy's low damage output. Despite slower movement, his consistent damage is invaluable.
-
Gene: Similar to Jacky, Gene's pull ability helps control enemy positioning within Sandy's Sandstorm.
Additional Tips
-
Position Sandstorm near bushes for easy escapes and ambush opportunities.
-
Counter enemy Sandstorms with your own, using Rude Star's damage-over-time to track enemy locations.
Sandy's strength lies in teamwork. While powerful, coordinating with teammates is crucial for victory.
