Best Sandy Build in Brawl Stars

Sandy's primary attack consists of piercing sand bullets that cover wide areas but inflict minimal damage. However, it's his Super Sandstorm ability that sets him apart, conjuring a sandstorm that lasts for nine seconds. Allies within this storm become invisible to enemies, making Sandy a game-changer in pivotal moments.

For Sandy's Gadget, Sweet Dreams is the top choice. It allows Sandy to put opponents to sleep for a second, though they'll wake up upon taking damage. Use this when you're fully loaded and near an enemy, ideally with your allies nearby, to launch a coordinated attack. It's also useful defensively to escape from aggressive Brawlers.

Sandy's Star Power should be Rude Sands, which not only hides your team but also inflicts damage on enemies within the Sandstorm. Deploy this when surrounded by both allies and foes to maximize its impact. Remember, avoid using your Gadget during the Sandstorm as Rude Sands will cancel the sleep effect.

For Gears, opt for Exhausting Storm to debuff enemies within the Sandstorm, reducing their damage output by 20%, and Damage to increase Sandy's attack by 50% when his health falls below half.

Best Sandy Teammates in Brawl Stars

Sandy, while powerful, is a glass cannon and needs teammates to cover his vulnerabilities. Here are the best companions for him:

• Jacky: She's arguably Sandy's best teammate. Stick close to her as she pulls enemies in with her drill, perfect for trapping foes in your Sandstorm.

• Surge: As a top damage dealer, Surge complements Sandy well. Despite his slow movement, his damage output, both regular and ultimate, is phenomenal.

• Gene: Another great pick, Gene can pull enemies into the Sandstorm's range, making him an excellent partner for Sandy.

Other Tips

When deploying your Sandstorm, position it near bushes to allow your team to retreat and set up ambushes. If facing another Sandy, counter their Sandstorm with your own. The damage from Rude Sands will reveal their positions, giving you the upper hand.

With these strategies, you're well-equipped to maximize Sandy's potential in Brawl Stars. Remember, teamwork is key to victory.
