Sandrone is finally here in Genshin Impact, and she is an incredibly strong character. The reborn Fatui Harbinger is a Cryo DPS, and she can trigger the new Stellar Conduct reaction. Her damage output is insanely high, but she does require the proper build to achieve it. So, here is the best Genshin Impact Sandrone build that will let you get the most out of her.

Genshin Impact Sandrone Build

Sandrone is currently one of the strongest DPS characters in the game, and that is without even pairing her with the future Genshin Impact Snezhnaya characters. That said, you still need to build her correctly to get the best out of her. Here is the best Genshin Impact Sandrone build you can use in the game:

TypeInformation
WeaponA Teaspoon of Transcendence
ArtifactDisenchantment in Deep Shadows
Main StatsSands: ATK%
Goblet: ATK%
Circlet: Crit Rate = Crit DMG
Sub StatsCrit Rate = Crit DMG > ATK% > ER > EM

When building Sandrone, make sure to prioritize ATK% or EM as the main stats. She already gets a ton of Crit from elsewhere, so you only need to meet the crit requirements for her as DPS. Other than that, simply pick either ATK% or EM, based on the buffs the other characters will provide Sandrone, depending on the characters you pick for her team. Mostly, picking ATK% should be the better choice, unless you are playing Sandrone with Nicole.

Now that you have a clear idea of Sandrone’s best build, let’s look at more options for her weapons and artifacts.

Sandrone Weapons

When it comes to the best weapon for Sandrone, it is obviously her signature weapon — A Teaspoon of Transcendence. This claymore is insanely good, giving a massive flat ATK buff that will work on most ATK-scaling DPS units in the game.

PriorityName
BestA Teaspoon of Transcendence
5-star AlternativeA Thousand Blazing Suns
Verdict
The Unforged
Beacon of the Reed Sea
Wolf Gravestone
Redhorn Stonethresher
4-star AlternativeTidal Shadow
Mailed Flower

For alternatives, A Thousand Blazing Suns, Verdict, The Unforged, and Wolf Gravestone are all really good options. The Beacon of the Reed Sea and Redhorn Stonethresher are also decent picks for Sandrone. If you want 4-star options, then both Tidal Shadow and Mailed Flower are extremely good choices. However, Tidal Shadow requires a healer in the team, and Mailed Flower is an event-exclusive weapon.

In general, you should go for ATK buffing weapons on Sandrone. The Crit weapons can also be decent, but with Sandrone already having a ton of Crit in her build, she doesn’t really need the extra Crit from her weapon.

Sandrone Artifacts

Disenchantment in Deep Shadows is the best artifact for Sandrone, and by a wide margin. This artifact set increases Superconduct reaction damage, while also increasing Crit Rate by 16%. Although this artifact would be absolutely useless a couple of patches earlier, it’s releasing with Sandrone because she is tailor-made for it.

PriorityArtifact
BestDisenchantment in Deep Shadows
AlternativeA Day Carved from Rising Winds
Gilded Dreams

Sandrone is completely reliant on triggering the new Stellar Conduct reaction, which is a new version of the Superconduct reaction that Disenchantment in Deep Shadows buffs. With that said, you can also use alternatives like A Day Carved from Rising Winds or Gilded Dreams. If I had to choose one, I would go with Gilded Dreams as the first alternative.

Genshin Impact Sandrone Teams

As Sandrone is dependent on triggering the Superconduct reaction, she requires at least one electro character in the team. With new buffs coming to old characters in Genshin Impact 6.7, Yae Miko has become the clear first choice for this role.

Other than Yae Miko, Fischl, E6 Beidou, or even Raiden Shogun are really good options that you can look into. For the other spots, you can have one more Cryo character and a flex character, like RES shredders. Escoffier, Qiqi, and Diona are all good options for the third spot, while Nicole, Xilonen, and Sucrose are great for the fourth spot.

Finally, you can also use Sandrone in a Lunar Charged team, playing her alongside Columbina and Ineffa. Although this team won’t be able to compete with Sandrone’s best squad, it can still do a lot of damage. Now, Sandrone’s team is only going to flourish with the upcoming Snezhnaya update. Both Genshin Impact Alyosha and Odette are rumored to be part of Sandrone’s best teams.
