Grow a Garden Campfire Shovel Skin Guide (July 2026) How to Unlock It
The Campfire Shovel is the newest cosmetic to drop in Grow a Garden, and it’s only the second shovel skin…
Sandrone is finally playable in Genshin Impact 6.7, and she is already one of the strongest DPS characters in the meta. As a 5-star Cryo Claymore wielder and the Seventh Fatui Harbinger, she introduces the brand-new Stellar-Conduct reaction — a supercharged evolution of Superconduct. Her damage ceiling is exceptional, but she needs the right build to perform at her peak. Here is the complete Genshin Impact Sandrone build guide for 2026.
| Category | Best Option |
|---|---|
| Weapon | A Teaspoon of Transcendence |
| Artifact | Disenchantment in Deep Shadows |
| Sands | ATK% |
| Goblet | ATK% |
| Circlet | Crit Rate = Crit DMG |
| Sub Stats | Crit Rate = Crit DMG > ATK% > ER > EM |
A Teaspoon of Transcendence is her signature claymore and easily her best weapon. It provides a massive flat ATK buff that synergizes perfectly with her ATK-scaling kit and gives her full uptime on its passive in normal rotations.
| Priority | Weapon |
|---|---|
| Best | A Teaspoon of Transcendence |
| 5-Star Alt | A Thousand Blazing Suns / Verdict / The Unforged / Beacon of the Reed Sea / Wolf Gravestone |
| 4-Star Alt | Tidal Shadow / Mailed Flower |
For 5-star alternatives, A Thousand Blazing Suns is her second-best option since it grants full passive uptime. Verdict and The Unforged are also solid. Avoid Crit-focused claymores — Sandrone already has substantial Crit from her artifact set, so raw ATK buffs are more valuable. Among 4-stars, Tidal Shadow is strong (requires a healer), and Mailed Flower is excellent but event-exclusive.
Disenchantment in Deep Shadows is Sandrone’s best-in-slot artifact set, and it’s not close. The 4-piece bonus boosts Superconduct (and Stellar-Conduct) reaction damage by 80% and increases Crit Rate by 16% when attacking Superconduct-affected enemies — a perfect fit for her kit.
| Priority | Artifact Set |
|---|---|
| Best | Disenchantment in Deep Shadows (4pc) |
| Alternative 1 | A Day Carved from Rising Winds |
| Alternative 2 | Gilded Dreams |
Since Sandrone’s entire damage loop depends on triggering Stellar-Conduct, this set is essentially made for her. If you’re struggling to get a good 4pc, Gilded Dreams is the better fallback thanks to its Elemental Mastery and ATK bonuses that also benefit her passive talent, which converts every 100 ATK into 8 EM (up to 160).
Stat Priority: Prioritize Crit Rate and Crit DMG in substats first. Stack enough Energy Recharge to burst every rotation, then focus on ATK% or EM depending on your team’s buff profile.
| Priority | Talent |
|---|---|
| 1st | Normal Attack |
| 2nd | Elemental Burst |
| 3rd | Elemental Skill |
Normal Attack governs both Calculation Mode and Overclock Mode damage — Sandrone’s primary Stellar-Conduct hits come from here. Her Elemental Burst (Subzero Convergence Beam) deals meaningful damage and is critical at C6. Her Elemental Skill is mainly a mechanical reset tool, not a major damage source.
Sandrone is a selfish on-field DPS who needs at least one Electro character to consistently trigger Stellar-Conduct. She works best with off-field supports who don’t compete for field time.
| DPS | Electro Sub DPS | Cryo Support | Flex Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandrone | Yae Miko | Escoffier | Qiqi |
| Sandrone | Fischl / Beidou | Qiqi / Diona | Sucrose / Nicole |
| Sandrone | Yae Miko | Columbina | Ineffa |
Best team: Sandrone + Yae Miko + Escoffier + Qiqi. Yae Miko provides consistent off-field Electro for Stellar-Conduct, Escoffier boosts Cryo damage, and Qiqi heals while buffing Stellar-Conduct. Xilonen is also an excellent flex pick, especially at C2 where she provides a massive Crit DMG% buff.
For F2P players, Fischl or E6 Beidou replace Yae Miko, with Sucrose providing EM buffs and VV shred. Sandrone can also run a Lunar Charged team with Columbina and Ineffa, though it’s weaker than her Stellar-Conduct comp.
Note: Future Snezhnayan characters like Alyosha and Odette are expected to slot into Sandrone’s best teams and push her damage even further.
| Constellation | Worth It? |
|---|---|
| C1 | Moderate — minor damage boost |
| C2 | ✅ Best early stopping point — strong Crit DMG buff |
| C4 | Good — adds a coordinated attack per rotation |
| C6 | ✅ Major power spike — Condensed Cluster Beam |
| C1, C5 | Skip — least impactful overall |
For most players, C0 + Signature Weapon outperforms C2 alone in terms of bang for your Primogems. Invest in constellations only after securing the weapon.
Yes. Sandrone is one of the strongest Cryo DPS characters on release, with high multipliers and a unique reaction mechanic (Stellar-Conduct) that scales well with future Snezhnayan supports.
Stellar-Conduct is a new reaction triggered by Cryo + Electro when Sandrone is in the party. It creates a Polestar Field and deals enhanced Superconduct-type damage, buffed further by her signature artifact set.
Absolutely. Tidal Shadow (requires healer) and Mailed Flower (event weapon) are both strong 4-star picks. Tidal Shadow in particular competes well against many 5-star alternatives at higher refinements.
Yae Miko is currently the top choice for off-field Electro application after receiving buffs in version 6.7. Fischl and E6 Beidou are solid free-to-play alternatives.
