Best Sandrone teams in Genshin Impact

Sandrone works best in the Stellar Glimmer team of Stellar Conduct. And as she herself can activate that reaction, there are many different teams you can play her in, making Sandrone an excellent, flexible DPS.

Additionally, although avoiding Anemo characters is preferred when trying to solely cause Stellar Conduct damage, Sandrone often has a fourth 'flex' slot available. This means someone like Sucrose can actually help if she has the 4-piece Viridescent Venerer set equipped.

Stellar Conduct teams

Here are some of the best Stellar Conduct teams for Sandrone in Genshin Impact.

Sandrone Odette Yae Miko Qiqi/Alyosha/Diona Sandrone Odette Yae Miko Escoffier Sandrone Odette Yae Miko/Alyosha Qiqi/Diona Sandrone Odette Yae Miko/Alyosha Sucrose Sandrone Odette Yae Miko/Alyosha Xilonen/Nicole Sandrone Beidou/Fischl Qiqi/Charlotte Kuki Shinobu

Odette can be replaced by other characters mentioned, such as Qiqi and Diona, but nobody compares to Odette when it comes to enhancing Stellar Glimmer teams.

As you can see, there are many Electro, Cryo, and even Anemo supports who work remarkably well in a Sandrone team. But generally, you'll want to include at least one Electro and one Cryo character to take advantage of both the Stellar Conduct reaction, and Cryo Resonance when two Cryo characters are on a team.

Best Sandrone weapons in Genshin Impact

Sandrone has a bunch of weapon options, as she can utilise helpful attack and Crit 'stat sticks'. There's also an easily accessible free-to-play option as well.

Here's a list of Sandrone's best weapons in Genshin Impact.

A Teaspoon of Transcendence Her signature 5-star weapon is of course Sandrone's best option, as it increases her Crit Damage, attack, and Stellar Glimmer damage. A Thousand Blazing Suns Sandrone's best 5-star 'stat stick' thanks to its attack and Crit Rate/Damage boosts. It's particularly good because one of its bonus effects can only activate when a charge attack is used, and that's exactly what Sandrone will be doing most of the time. Verdict Its extra effects are useless in Stellar Glimmer teams, but Sandrone can still get a big attack and Crit Rate boost by simply equipping Verdict. Wolf's Gravestone Yet another comfy 5-star attack 'stat stick' that you can put to good use because of its attack boosts. Forged by the Golden Melody A battle pass weapon with the Crit Rate main stat that slowly improves Sandrone's attack, EM, and Stellar Glimmer damage. Really good, but not free-to-play friendly as you'll want to get it to R5 to compete with the available 5-star options. Tidal Shadow A craftable, free-to-play option that increases Sandrone's attack. She also gets bonus attack after she's healed. Unforged Another nice 5-star 'stat stick' that increases Sandrone's attack. Works best when Sandrone is paired with a shielder.

There are many other 5-star 'stat stick' options out there. These are just a selection of some of the most notable. In general, anything that's going to improve Sandrone's attack, Crit Damage, or Stellar Glimmer damage is going to be a winner.

Best Sandrone Artifacts in Genshin Impact

The 4-piece Disenchantment in Deep Shadow is by far Sandrone's best Artifact set in Genshin Impact, because of its increase to Stellar Conduct damage and Crit Rate.

Sandrone can use the 4-piece Gilded Dreams for Elemental Mastery (EM) gains if you don't have a Disenchantment in Deep Shadow set yet, or you can mix-and-match your best 2-piece sets that increase EM:

• Instructor
• Wanderer's Troupe
• Gilded Dreams
• Flower of Paradise Lost
• Night of the Sky's Unveiling
• Aubade of Morningstar and Moon

The main stats you should aim for on Sandrone's Artifacts are:

• Sands - Attack
• Goblet - Attack
• Circlet - Crit Damage

The substats you should aim for with these Artifact sets are:

• Crit Damage
• Attack
• Elemental Mastery
• Crit Rate

Crit Rate is less important, as Sandrone already gets a lot from other sources.

How to play Sandrone in Genshin Impact

Although Sandrone can be played in a variety of teams, she's the main damage dealer, so her playstyle remains almost the same no matter who you're pairing her with.

An example of an easy Sandrone rotation is: apply Electro and buffs with other characters, switch to Sandrone, use her Skill, then charge attack by holding down the normal attack button. You can Burst anytime after using her Skill to maximize her Burst damage - it's up to you when you want to do it.

Then, just keep charge attacking after using Sandrone's Skill on repeat, weaving in her Bursts, and you've got a really simple rotation that deals a heck of a lot of damage.

The only caveat you need to remember is that when Sandrone stops shooting charge attacks, you need to use her Skill in order to recharge the robot that's responsible for firing them. Also, ensure you're swapping back to the rest of your team when needed, to apply Electro consistently, and to keep a good uptime on other buffs.

When building Sandrone, you should level-up her normal attacks first, then her Burst, then finally her Skill. They're all pretty important too, so you'll want to go ahead and use your Crown of Insights to fully upgrade each one when possible.

All the best building Sandrone in Genshin Impact!
