- Sandrone died in Genshin Impact Luna IV from The Doctor's attack.
- Both Wanderer and Arlecchino confirmed Sandrone's death in the aftermath of the fight.
- However, Sandrone has been rumored to become playable around the end of Nod-Krai, and she might be revived at the Fontaine Research Institute.
Genshin Impact Luna IV hit us all with some heavy emotional baggage at the end. In the major fight with The Doctor, one of our beloved friends was shown to have fallen. Sandrone’s death in Genshin Impact has sparked major confusion in the community, as no one expected it to happen. But is Sandrone really dead in Genshin Impact? Let’s find out.
Is Sandrone Dead in Genshin Impact?
Yes, Sandrone is dead in Genshin Impact after the events of version Luna IV. The Traveler and Sandrone took the fight to The Doctor, where the 2nd-ranked Fatui Harbinger stabbed Sandrone through the chest. After the fight was over, characters like Wanderer and Arlecchino confirmed that Sandrone died during the fight.
However, Sandrone is an automaton made by someone named The Artificer. We hear from Arlecchino that Sandrone had requested her and Pulonia’s cores to be taken to the Fontaine Research Institute if she ever fails her mission. There is a possibility that her core could be used to bring back Sandrone.
Will Sandrone Return in Genshin Impact?
There is a high chance of Sandrone returning in Genshin Impact. Even though her death has been confirmed in Genshin Impact Luna IV, certain loopholes could still be used to bring her back. For one, it is repeatedly mentioned in the story that Sandrone always takes note of every possibility and plans her approach accordingly. This is why I also think that she had already prepared ways to come back if she ever fell into battle.
The biggest hint for this is her request to Arlecchino about taking her and Pulonia’s core to the Fontaine Research Institute. Cores are the soul of automatons, which means that the core could be used to bring her back if the body is recreated.
Yes, this might be wishful thinking, but in a world where a legendary dragon could be revived inside a human body, I am talking about Durin here; the chances of bringing Sandrone back to life using her core are not that unrealistic.
The biggest reason why I think Sandrone would return is that she is expected to be a playable character in Genshin Impact, leaked way back before Nod-Krai began. You can check the full list of upcoming Nod-Krai characters from our list.
Will Sandrone be Playable in Genshin Impact?
Sandrone is expected to be a playable character in Genshin Impact, with rumors of her release in Genshin Impact Luna VIII. There was also a sixth Genshin Impact character teased officially for 2026 without a form revealed by Hoyoverse, which might have been due to the events of Luna IV.
All of these points towards Sandrone becoming playable in Genshin Impact Nod-Krai versions, and this also means that she will likely be revived soon. However, the current bottom line is that Sandrone is dead, according to the official storyline. All our doubts are just theory crafting until Hoyoverse officially brings her back later down the line.
So, what do you think about Sandrone’s death in Genshin Impact? Do you want her to return as a playable character? Let us know in the comments.
