· We discuss Sandro's kit update and how it differs from what we expected.
· Her lore and design evoke a puppeteer, but her actual kit is closer to an on-field main DPS.
· Initially, we anticipated an off-field sub-DPS or support hybrid role, but the leaked information currently focuses on her as an on-field main DPS.

· Sandro is an Cryo Claymore user, functioning almost exclusively as an on-field main DPS with little sub-DPS or support utility.
· Her kit centers around a charged attack laser with a new gauge overheat system, which limits ability usage and requires waiting for a recharge.
· A new damage type, 'Stella Superconductivity,' has emerged. This creates a special field, and new reactions are triggered only within this field.
· Within this field, other characters receive a 38% Cryo DMG Bonus. This method makes the reaction more powerful and exclusive through a specialized superconductivity field.

· Sandro's 5-star Claymore weapon provides 18% ATK and 60% Stella Superconductivity DMG.
· Questions are raised about the choice of Claymore as her weapon, with some opinions suggesting a faster, more agile catalyst-type playstyle was expected.
· Her constellations (C1, C2, C4, C6) significantly enhance her performance. Notably, C1 slows gauge accumulation, allowing for longer channeling times and increasing Stella Superconductivity DMG.
· Overall, Sandro appears to be a pure DPS with minimal team utility, focusing on personal damage output, gauge management, and managing her overheat stacks.

· Sandro is appealing due to her unique gameplay and the new 'Stella Superconductivity' reaction.
· Mastering her playstyle of maximizing laser stacks through gauge management and skill timing can be very satisfying.
· She possesses strong damage potential, especially when enhanced by her signature weapon and constellations.
· The 38% team-wide Cryo DMG Bonus offers significant advantages even for a selfish DPS, enabling potential Cryo-Electro hybrid teams.
· She is expected to synergize well with upcoming characters like Bozhya and might be released in early Version 7.0.
· Her appeal as an Archon and lore collector is also notable, attracting players who prioritize collecting story-related characters.
· As the first character with a 'Stella Reaction,' she could have future-oriented team synergies.
· As one of the few Cryo Claymore DPS characters, she can fill a niche in existing character rosters.

· She fails to deliver the puppeteer fantasy many players expected, which is one of her biggest drawbacks.
· She is a selfish DPS who deals all damage directly on-field, rather than a summoner or support.
· The natural downtime caused by the overheat mechanic can make sustained damage difficult.
· Her limited rotational movement speed during charged attacks might feel clunky and could be a downside for players who dislike long channeling or resource management burdens.
· She may require significant investment to reach her full potential without C2+ and her signature weapon.
· If your account already has many powerful DPS options, she might not be a meta necessity.

· Sandro will undoubtedly be a powerful DPS, expected to deal significant damage.
· Her kit is subject to potential adjustments before release, and we need to wait longer as Version 6.7 beta gameplay has not yet been revealed.
· According to recently updated information, she is a flexible slot character and can utilize the short cooldown of her E skill.
· Contrary to initial rumors, her mobility might be similar to Arlecchino's charged attack movement speed.
· C1 is designed to support and enhance C2 and C6.
· Overall, Sandro has the potential to be a strong DPS, but her evaluation may vary depending on player expectations and investment capacity.
