Best star power for Sandy
Healing Winds is Sandy's most-picked star power at 51.0%. A star power is passive: once it is equipped it works on its own all match, with no button to press. The other option, Rude Sands, sits at 49.0%.
Best gadget for Sandy
Sleep Stimulator is the gadget of choice at 61.0% pick rate. A gadget is the part of the loadout you press: unlike the passive star power, it fires on demand and can be used as often as you like once its cooldown is up. Sweet Dreams sees the rest of the picks at 39.0%.
Best gears for Sandy
On gear, Sandy players favor SHIELD (27.5%), with EXHAUSTING STORM (26.5%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.

What players who own Sandy have unlocked, counted from tracked profiles over the last 30 days. "Unlocked first" is the share among the players who own only one of a pair, which is the closest thing to a preference the game data exposes: Supercell never publishes which build a player equipped in a match, so nothing here is a pick rate or a win rate by build.
