Sandy's primary attack consists of sand bullets that pierce through targets, covering wide areas but dealing minimal damage. His true strength lies in his Super Sandstorm ability, which creates a nine-second sandstorm that cloaks allies within its range from enemy sight, making Sandy a game-changer on the battlefield.
| Equipment | Option |
|---|---|
| Gadget | Sweet Dreams |
| Star Power | Rude Star |
| Gear 1 | Exhausting Storm |
| Gear 2 | Damage |
For Sandy, the optimal gadget choice is Sweet Dreams. This gadget can put opponents to sleep for a second, but they'll wake up if they take any damage. Use Sweet Dreams when you're at full ammo and close to an enemy, especially near your allies. This allows for a coordinated attack to quickly take down the sleeping foe. You can also use it defensively to escape from an aggressive Brawler by temporarily incapacitating them.
Rude Star is the Star Power you'll want for Sandy, enhancing his Sandstorm to deal damage to enemies within its radius while still concealing your team. Deploy this ability when surrounded by both allies and foes to maximize its impact. Remember, avoid using the Sweet Dreams gadget while the Sandstorm is active, as Rude Star will wake the enemy.
For Sandy's Gears, Exhausting Storm and Damage are recommended. Exhausting Storm reduces the damage dealt by enemies caught in the Sandstorm by 20%, while Damage boosts Sandy's attack by 50% when his health falls below half.

Sandy, while powerful, is a glass cannon and needs teammates to cover his vulnerabilities. Here are some ideal partners:
- Jacky: Stick close to Jacky, as her drill can pull enemies in, setting up perfect opportunities for Sandy's Sandstorm.
- Surge: As a high-damage dealer, Surge complements Sandy well, despite his slower movement speed.
- Gene: Gene's ability to pull enemies in works similarly to Jacky's, making him another excellent teammate for Sandy, especially for dragging foes into the Sandstorm's range.

Other Tips
When deploying your Sandstorm, consider positioning it near bushes. This allows your team to retreat into cover once the storm dissipates, setting up ambushes. If facing another Sandy, counter their Super with yours; Rude Star's damage-over-time effect will reveal their position.
With these strategies, you'll be well-equipped to leverage Sandy's strengths in Brawl Stars. Remember, teamwork is key to securing victories.
