Alright, folks, let’s dive into my little adventure of figuring out the “best” Sandy build. I gotta say, it was a bit of a rollercoaster, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
So, I started like everyone else, I guess – completely clueless. I just unlocked Sandy and thought, “Cool, a sleepy brawler, let’s see what he can do!” I jumped into a few matches, got totally wrecked, and quickly realized I needed a plan. Randomly picking gadgets and star powers wasn’t cutting it.
My Experimentation Phase
First, I tried to make Sandy a super-aggressive, in-your-face brawler. I mean, he’s got that sand attack, right? It should do some damage! I equipped the damage-boosting star power and… well, it was a disaster. I kept getting outranged and outgunned. Sandy’s just not built for that kind of direct combat. Back to the drawing board.
Then, I thought, “Okay, maybe he’s more of a support character.” His super is a huge sandstorm, so maybe I could use that to help my teammates. I switched to the star power that heals allies in the sandstorm. This was slightly better, but it still felt like I wasn’t contributing enough. I was basically a walking health pack, and not a very good one at that.
- I tried different gadgets too. One makes you take a small nap that recover the full health, the other one can make the next attack get more damge.
- I felt the gadget of recovering is good, but I am not sure.
The “Aha!” Moment
After a bunch of frustrating losses, I finally had a bit of an “aha!” moment. I noticed that Sandy’s super isn’t just about healing or hiding. It’s about control. It’s a massive area that you can use to dictate the flow of the battle.
So, I started experimenting with a more control-oriented build. I focused on using the sandstorm to block off chokepoints, force enemies into bad positions, and generally just be a nuisance. I also take rude sands to deal some damage to my enemy.
Putting It All Together
I kept practicing, tweaking things here and there. I learned to anticipate enemy movements, figured out the best spots to place my sandstorm, and got better at landing those long-range poke shots.I also discovered that I should change the gears according to the map and mode.
It wasn’t a quick process, and I’m still learning new things every day. But that’s what makes it interesting, isn’t it? Keep playing, keep experimenting, and you find what works best for you.
