Sandy's primary attack utilizes piercing sand bullets, covering a wide area but dealing minimal damage. His Super, Sandstorm, is his defining feature – a nine-second sandstorm that obscures allies from enemy vision, offering crucial tactical advantages.

Gadget: Sweet Dreams is the top choice. This one-second sleep effect on opponents (broken by damage) is best used with full ammo, near allies, allowing for coordinated attacks and quick eliminations. It's also effective defensively, buying time to escape.

Star Power: Rude Star boosts damage within the Sandstorm, complementing its concealment. Activate it when surrounded by both allies and enemies for a powerful coordinated assault. Note: Rude Star negates Sweet Dreams' stun.

Gears: Exhausting Storm reduces enemy damage within the Sandstorm by 20%, while Damage increases Sandy's attack by 50% below half health, maximizing his effectiveness in crucial moments.

Sandy's fragility necessitates strong teammates to compensate. Here are some excellent choices:

  • Jacky: Her enemy-pulling drill perfectly sets up Sandy's Sandstorm for maximum impact.
  • Surge: Provides substantial damage output, offsetting Sandy's lower damage.
  • Gene: Similar to Jacky, his enemy-pulling ability enhances Sandstorm's effectiveness.

Additional Tips & Strategies

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

Remember, while Sandy is potent, teamwork is crucial for victory.

Brawl Stars is available on iOS and Android.
