Sandy's attack consists of piercing sand bullets, covering a wide area but dealing minimal damage. His Super, Sandstorm, creates a nine-second area of effect that hides allies from enemy sight, making him invaluable for turning the tide of battle.

  • Sweet Dreams Gadget: This gadget puts opponents to sleep for one second (unless they take damage). Use it when fully loaded and near allies, enabling a coordinated attack. It can also be used defensively to create an escape opportunity.

  • Rude Star Star Power: Boosts Sandstorm's effectiveness by adding damage to enemies within its radius. Ideal when surrounded by both allies and enemies, allowing a simultaneous team assault. Note: Rude Star cancels the Sweet Dreams stun.

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

Sandy's fragility necessitates strong teammates to cover his weaknesses. Here are top choices:

  • Jacky: Her ability to pull enemies closer perfectly complements Sandy's Sandstorm, creating effective traps.

  • Surge: A high-damage dealer who compensates for Sandy's low damage output. Despite slower movement, his attacks are devastating.

  • Gene: Similar to Jacky, Gene's pull ability helps bring enemies into Sandstorm's range.

Additional Tips

  • Position Sandstorm near bushes to facilitate quick escapes and ambushes.

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

Sandy's strength lies in teamwork. Mastering his build and coordinating with allies ensures victory in Brawl Stars.
