Sandy's primary attack involves piercing sand bullets that spread over a wide area but cause minimal damage. His uniqueness shines with his Super Sandstorm ability, which creates a sandstorm that lasts for nine seconds, concealing allies within its area from enemy view and turning the battle in your favor.

The optimal gadget for Sandy is Sweet Dreams, which temporarily puts opponents to sleep for one second, though they'll awaken if hit. Utilize this gadget when fully loaded and near an enemy alongside your allies to maximize your team's offensive potential. It's also a great defensive tool to create an escape opportunity when under attack.

Rude Star is the recommended Star Power, enhancing Sandy's Sandstorm by dealing additional damage to foes within its range. Deploy this ability amidst a mix of allies and enemies to launch a coordinated assault. Be cautious not to use your gadget during the Sandstorm, as Rude Star will prematurely wake the stunned enemy.

For Sandy's Gears, Exhausting Storm and Damage are ideal choices. Exhausting Storm reduces enemy damage output by 20% within the Sandstorm, while Damage increases Sandy's attack by 50% when his health falls below half.

Despite Sandy's prowess, he remains a glass cannon, necessitating teammates who can shield him and address his vulnerabilities. Here are my top picks:

• Jacky is arguably Sandy's best partner. Stay close to her, as her drill ability attracts enemies, setting the stage for your Sandstorm to trap foes effectively.
• Surge excels as a damage dealer, compensating for Sandy's lower damage. Despite his slower movement, Surge's ability to inflict high damage with both regular and ultimate attacks is invaluable.
• Gene is another excellent choice, with an ability similar to Jacky's that pulls enemies in. This synergy with Sandy allows Gene to drag opponents into the Sandstorm's effective range.
