Optimal Sandy Build
Sandy's attack, while dealing minimal damage, covers a wide area with piercing sand bullets. His Super, Sandstorm, is where his true strength lies. This nine-second sandstorm obscures allies within its radius, providing 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 (broken by damage) is best used with full ammo, near allies, and ideally followed up with a stun. It's also effective defensively, buying time to escape.
-
Star Power: Rude Star: In addition to the concealment, Rude Star adds damage-over-time (DoT) to the Sandstorm, making it a potent offensive tool when surrounded by both allies and enemies. Note: Don't use Sweet Dreams during Sandstorm; Rude Star will negate the stun.
-
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, turning him into a late-game threat.
Best Sandy Teammates
Sandy's fragility necessitates strong protective teammates. Here are top choices:
-
Jacky: Jacky's drill pulls enemies close, setting them up perfectly for Sandy's Sandstorm.
-
Surge: Surge delivers high damage output, compensating for Sandy's lower damage. His slower movement speed is mitigated by Sandy's support.
-
Gene: Similar to Jacky, Gene's pull ability brings enemies into Sandstorm's range, extending its effectiveness.
Additional Tips
-
Position Sandstorm near bushes for easy escapes and ambush opportunities.
-
Counter enemy Sandstorms with your own, using Rude Star's DoT to reveal enemy positions.
Sandy's power shines through strategic teamwork. Master his abilities and utilize these tips to dominate the Brawl Stars battlefield.
