Sandy is a top-tier Brawler in Brawl Stars, a Legendary Controller unit whose utility stems from his powerful Super ability. While his damage output isn't overwhelming, his versatility makes him a valuable asset.

Sandy's primary attack involves wide-area sand bullets that, while lacking in raw damage, are compensated for by his Super, Sandstorm. This nine-second sandstorm obscures allies within its radius, making Sandy invaluable for turning the tide of battle.

Sweet Dreams, Sandy's optimal gadget, puts opponents to sleep for a second (unless they take damage). Use it strategically with full ammo, near allies and an enemy, for coordinated takedowns. It's also effective defensively, buying you escape time.

Rude Star, Sandy's best Star Power, enhances Sandstorm by adding damage to enemies within its radius. Use it when surrounded by both allies and enemies for a potent team assault. Remember, Rude Star cancels the Sweet Dreams stun.

For Gears, Exhausting Storm (reducing enemy damage within Sandstorm by 20%) and Damage (boosting Sandy's attack by 50% below half health) provide excellent synergy.

Sandy, while powerful, is a glass cannon; he needs protection. These teammates complement his weaknesses:

  • Jacky: Her drill pulls enemies close, setting up perfect Sandstorm traps.
  • Surge: Provides significant damage output with both regular and Super attacks.
  • Gene: Like Jacky, his pull ability helps control enemy positioning within Sandstorm's range.

Other Tips

Position Sandstorm near bushes for easy escapes and ambush opportunities. Against another Sandy, counter their Sandstorm with your own, using Rude Star's damage-over-time to reveal enemy positions.

Mastering Sandy requires teamwork. While incredibly strong, coordinated play is key to victory.

Brawl Stars is available on iOS and Android.
