Sandy's primary attack uses piercing sand bullets, covering a wide area but dealing minimal damage. His unique Super, Sandstorm, summons a nine-second sandstorm, concealing allies within its area of effect from enemy view—a game-changer for turning the tide of battle.

Sweet Dreams is the optimal gadget. It puts opponents to sleep for one second (though they wake upon taking damage). Use it strategically with full ammo, near allies and an opponent, for a coordinated attack and quick elimination. It's equally effective defensively; putting an attacker to sleep buys you escape time.

Rude Star, his best Star Power, adds damage to the Sandstorm, harming enemies while concealing your team. Activate it when surrounded by allies and enemies for a simultaneous assault. Note: Rude Star removes enemy stuns, so avoid using Sweet Dreams while Sandstorm is active.

For Gears, Exhausting Storm (20% damage reduction for enemies in the Sandstorm) and Damage (50% attack buff below half health) provide a powerful combination.

Sandy, while powerful, is a glass cannon; he can't tank hits. Teammates who protect him and cover his weaknesses are crucial. Consider these:

  • Jacky: Her drill pulls enemies close, setting up perfect Sandstorm traps. Stick close to her for optimal synergy.
  • Surge: A high-damage dealer, compensating for Sandy's lower damage output. His slow movement is offset by his immense damage potential.
  • Gene: Like Jacky, he pulls enemies into range, ensuring targets are within Sandstorm's area of effect.

Other Tips

Position your Sandstorm near bush edges to allow for quick escapes and ambush opportunities after the ability ends. If facing another Sandy, counter their Super with your own; Rude Star's damage reveals enemy positions even while hidden.

This covers the optimal Sandy build in Brawl Stars. While strong, teamwork is essential for victory.

Brawl Stars is available on iOS and Android.
