2PC EM + 2PC EM: Even worse placeholder option but requires no 4 Piece.
Reaching 2000 ATK takes priority on Sandrone before CRIT to maximize her passives. Also ER% should only be considered if her requirements are strictly below 140%, and it is a minimal loss to forgo it for building offensive stats even when this is the case.
How much Energy Recharge Sandrone needs to cast the Burst every rotation, by team and by weapon. Where a target is out of reach, the advice beside it says what to do instead.
| Team | 3 Cryo Or 2 Cryo/2 Electro | Other Teams And/Or Burst When Available |
|---|---|---|
| No Favonius teammates | 140-150% | Not recommended |
| Reduction per team Favonius trigger | -10% | - |

Most of Sandrone’s damage comes from her Normal Attacks, especially if not Bursting every rotation. Her Burst and to a lesser degree her Skill do reasonable damage, so should be considered but as a secondary priority.
Use Sandrone’s Burst at any point after a full gauge of Decoding Power is cleared and when fully buffed.
Default
C E C E C E
Sandrone’s default combo: using her Charged Attack then clearing her Decoding Power with Skill when it hits maximum, three times a rotation.
Normal Attack Cancel
C E N0 C E N0 C E
Sandrone’s Skill animation can be cancelled very early by her Normal Attack, while can subsequently be cancelled by her Charged Attack. However, when done too quickly, Sandrone does not spend enough time to clear all of her Decoding Power which causes the following Charged Attack to whiff. Therefore, it is important to find the correct timing at which she can execute her cancel. This is not difficult, but considering that the gain for performing the cancel isn’t major, this is unnecessary for most players.
Burst Cancel
C E Q
Sandrone’s Skill cast can be cancelled almost completely by her Burst, and using it after a Skill cast almost always ensures her first Ascension passive is maximized. This can be inserted after any Skill cast in the above combos. Since the Burst cast has a short delay before the damage is dealt, short duration buffs like Viridescent Venerer can be reapplied if they have worn off. Typically, this is only a concern if using her Burst after her third Charged Attack, at which point she would want to swap off anyway. This can also be a double-edged sword, so care should be taken that Sandrone is not swapped off too early if played in a team with buffs that only apply to the active character.

Genshin Impact 5★ Cryo Claymore Main DPS
A Teaspoon of Transcendence tops the weapon ranking for Sandrone, at 118% relative damage at R1 in the DPS - Team column, ahead of A Thousand Blazing Suns, Forged by the Golden Melody and Verdict. That order is prydwen.gg's, measured in play and rephrased here; every row of it sits under Weapons below.
Run Disenchantment in Deep Shadow on Sandrone, with Gilded Dreams and A Day Carved From Rising Winds behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > EM > ER.
Talent priority is Normal Attack >> Burst > Skill. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
Aim for -10% to 140% Energy Recharge, depending on the team and the weapon, per prydwen.gg's calcs. The standard rotation (Default) is C E C E C E.
The strongest team is Sandrone, Yae Miko, Qiqi and Sucrose, built around Sandrone: Cryo · Superconduct.
Sandrone's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Gest of the Mighty Wolf is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star claymore with CRIT Rate as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Fruitful Hook is the best 4-star alternative.
Blizzard Strayer. Its 2-piece bonus is: Cryo DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%.
