Weaknesses

Energy planning matters — skimping on ER makes Sandrone's Burst feel inconsistent.
Signature weapon and premium supports still move the needle more than most 4★ kits.

Talent Priority

Formule Phenomenale: Self-Evident PropositionPriority: Max (10)

Start Sandrone's talent materials on Formule Phenomenale: Self-Evident Proposition; it's what you actually press every rotation.

Sandrone follow-up talent: Formule Phenomenale: Q.E.D. supports the main damage/support loop.

Formule Phenomenale: Differential AnalysisPriority: Low (1-6)

Park Sandrone's Formule Phenomenale: Differential Analysis last (or skip). Resources are better spent on Skill/Burst breakpoints.

Talents

Normal AttackFormule Phenomenale: Self-Evident Proposition

Generates threads that control her weapon using formulae, performing up to 3 consecutive strikes.

Normal Attack

Elemental SkillFormule Phenomenale: Differential Analysis

With her impeccable, ladylike poise, Sandrone boards the Tea Party Tactical Assault Hovermech and hovers forward for 6s. During this time, Sandrone can control the travel direction of the craft. Pressing Sprint consumes 10 Stamina and launches her into an elegant high-speed hover mode, in which she will move even faster at the cost of 15 Stamina per second. When Sandrone starts hovering, if there are opponents nearby, she will also summon a Prismatic Resonance Cannon and fire 2 Prism Shots at any opponents who have yet to cool down, dealing Cryo DMG. Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: The second Prism Shot will instead deal Cryo DMG that is considered Stellar-Conduct DMG. When on the Tea Party Tactical Assault Hovermech, Sandrone will also elegantly and quietly repair Fagio, causing Decoding Power to swiftly decrease.

Elemental Skill

Elemental BurstFormule Phenomenale: Q.E.D.

In line with established ladylike behavior, Sandrone summons a large number of Prismatic Resonance Cannons for a frontal bombardment before firing on her foes with a Convective Inhibition Ray, dealing AoE Cryo DMG. Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: The Convective Inhibition Ray instead deals AoE Cryo DMG that is considered Stellar-Conduct DMG.

Elemental Burst

1st Ascension PassiveEternal Speculation Engine

Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: When using the Elemental Skill Formule Phenomenale: Differential Analysis, if Fagio's Decoding Power is greater than 50, the second Prism Shot fired by Fagio at nearby opponents will deal 400% of its original DMG as Fagio's Decoding Power is decreased. Additionally, for every 10 points of Decoding Power Fagio loses, it gains 1 stack of Refined Tactics for 60s (max 10 stacks). When Sandrone uses the Elemental Burst Formule Phenomenale: Q.E.D. while in the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state, all stacks of Refined Tactics are cleared, causing the Convective Inhibition Ray to deal 100% + (number of stacks cleared) × 10% of its original DMG.
