A win rate only means something when enough matches sit behind it. Next to every number we say how sure we are:

• reliable — 200 matches or more: a solid basis for a verdict.
• fairly reliable — 80 to 199 matches: enough to spot a real pattern.
• early signal — 30 to 79 matches: a hint, not a verdict.
• too few matches — fewer than 30 matches, so we do not show a win rate yet.

A 60% win rate over 40 matches can easily be luck; a 54% win rate over 800 matches is a real edge. Maps and modes with fewer than 30 matches are listed without a win rate on purpose.

Blind-pick safety is coaching metadata, not a meta ranking: it says how risky Sandy is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Sandy scores 7/10.

Gadget: Sleep Stimulator — Heal zone in your storm: your team survives the entire fight inside it.

Star Power: Rude Sands — Your storm deals damage, so the opponent can't just stand inside it.

Gears: Gadget Charge + Health — Your super and gadget are your value.

Place your storm on the objective, not on the opponent.

As a support, Sandy is favoured into marksman, assassin.

• With your sandstorm super to close in unseen you focus Spike: Spike is fragile and his cactus is easy to dodge.
• With your sandstorm super to close in unseen you focus Stu: assassins have low HP once their dash is on cooldown.
• With your sandstorm super to close in unseen you focus Crow: Crow has low HP and relies on poke.
• With your sandstorm super to close in unseen you focus Leon: Leon is visible as soon as he attacks and has low HP.

Sandy struggles against tank, sharpshooter and on maps that do not support the support role.

This is the coaches' view of which modes suit the support role of Sandy; the measured win rates per mode are higher up on this page.

• Hot Zone — fit 8/10
• Gem Grab — fit 7/10
• Knockout — fit 7/10

Map fit from the coaching model, next to the measured best maps above. When the two disagree, trust the one with more matches behind it.

Sandy is safe enough to pick early: few open Brawlers punish this pick hard.

Works well alongside Piper, Mandy.

Skip Sandy when the map layout works against the support role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
