His sandstorm damages every enemy standing inside it, so the cover also contests the ground it covers.
Star Power
Healing Winds
His sandstorm heals Sandy and his allies inside it, which makes it somewhere to hold rather than pass through.

Playing Sandy
reviewed 19 Jul 2026A controller whose sand attack pierces in a line and whose Super drops a sandstorm that hides everyone inside it.
Early game
Fire down lanes so the pierce connects with multiple enemies; his Super charges quickly and the first storm should land on the objective.
Positioning
Play at the edge of your own storm where you can see out and they cannot see in, rather than standing in the middle of it.
Using your Super
Drop the storm on the objective your team needs to hold, not on the enemy — its value is concealment over time, not the damage tick.
Common mistakes
- Placing the storm on the enemy team, which hides them rather than your own team
- Standing deep inside the storm where he cannot see the fight either
- Holding the Super instead of maintaining constant storm uptime on the point
- Objective modes where a storm on the point makes contesting it a guessing game
- Chokes, where the pierce hits a whole line of enemies
- Against long-range comps, since the storm removes their ability to aim
By mode
Hot Zone
