DEEP DIVE : SANDMAN | Marvel Contest of Champions

[@woolvermeano.g.5522]

The real MVPs at Kabam are the animations dept. You can tell they built on the things they learned in designing Mr. Fantastic to make Sandman look so good. If the game is around long enough, I'd love to see what they would do with Mystique...

[@naturalharmoniagropius4486]

Mystique might be based on the relic you've used on her

[@manuelsanchez5028]

@@naturalharmoniagropius4486 that’s an interesting idea

[@naturalharmoniagropius4486]

@@manuelsanchez5028 Since Mystique's abilities is more on shapeshifting, I include the idea of Relics for her concept. Because, Relics has a built-in Striker feature, which swaps to Relic character for a short period of time. For example, Mystique equpping the Wolverine relic. She transforms into Wolverine for a short amt of time, then the effect shrugs off whenever she throws a Special

He does. The sinister six are in the teammates synergy.

[@alexanderrock1417]

Sandman looks amazing (animations) definitely want to play with him! Kinda wish his heavy would make the giant hammer arm but it still looks great!

[@amilajayawardhana189]

Things sandman should've had: Root immunity (since he's made of sand) Some form of miss/evade/untouchable function (since he's once again made of sand) Incinerate vulnerability (puts the miss/evade/untouchable on cooldown due to turning into glass) Better synergies with other sinister 6 members (obviously) These are just a few off the top of my head I'm sure there's more stuff that sandman SHOULD be able to do if you think about it. Edit: grammar

[@lethalprotector2078]

Those are good imo

[@giraffegiraffe810]

He has a synergy with them you can see at the bottom of the screen. Sadly it’s a 5% perfect block chance synergy

[@tolulopeakadiri2334]

I do not agree with the incinerate immunity, if he turns into glass, how will he move

@@giraffegiraffe810 My bad G meant to say better synergies* I fixed it

[@amilajayawardhana189]

@@tolulopeakadiri2334 my brother in Christ I said Incinerate vulnerability

[@dantecurry207]

I’ve seen some in the comments say that his play style is complicated. I disagree. You pretty much just five hit combo to build up resistance,throw specials to stack on debuffs and build more resistance,and once you get to 20 resistance you heavy spam. Rinse and repeat.That being said,I think Shocker for sure is the better offensive champ;might also be the better defender too.

[@Macandi293]

“Thank You Kabam and the team for creating my champion Sandman from Spider-Man 3 film!” The character is very details and I admire the abilities and the effects you added. I really appreciate the hard work and and time consuming you put into 💌

why isn't he immune to rupture? he's made out of sand, if there's any champion that should be rupture immune it's him.

[@vaayue]

Same Question 😩

[@p.j.798]

I would've given him rupture immunity but made him more vulnerable to incinerates

[@damnepic]

Agreed.

[@SixSnax]

Rupture and Root. How can you rupture or root sand?

[@lorz2385]

Are u guys aware Kabam workers don't really know those characters, right? Either they just lack creativity or they've never touched the Comics.

[@bonnyas9998]

He looks....decent.....let´s hope that he will be great champ.

[@AE2v2]

He’s triple immune, tanky and an evade + heal counter. I think he’s gonna be pretty useful at R3

As with every champ with 'RED NUMBERS' I'll save my opinions on him for when I see him in action, both apoc and knull seemed either mid or decent at best in their deep dives and turned out to be absolutely bonkers in game, i hope it's the same for Sandy

Sandman feels like the love child of Rintrah and Hulk (post buff) if Anti-Venom was the surrogate mother. He has qualities from all of them. Pretty cool

Not gonna lie I’m a little underwhelmed. Shocker looks infinitely better than this guy

[@Funnimannnn]

Wow he looks like a god tier and his animations are really cool! Good job Kabam!

[@PeakParker28]

Now we need an OG Spidey Deep Dive .....

[@mlggamer5296]

Sandman is one of those Champions I really like because he's very defensive and offensive at the same time. I'm more into the defensive type of Champions such as like Ironman so he can do resist up that's really cool it's basically like that but his signature just gives him more attack so he can really do more damage as well take less damage

[@cosmicgiraffe4071]

KABAM. This is THE most wanted champion in the game. His animations are perfect, but his abilities, playstyle synergies and damage output?….

[@aaryansingh9164]

Let's not judge just yet. Dr doom, apocalypse, knull looked like disappointments in deep dive but look how they are in game Besides, if he, let's say, would be underperforming, he will get a buff 3-4 months later So, it's all good

[@joelleon1521]

The perfect counter for gorr

[@j_adrian7241]

Not really gorr can still degen you if ur immune to his debuffs i think

[@javieraravena8112]

​@@j_adrian7241 he degens only when the hit lands, not through block

[@allbrighton01]

Hit Monkey seems like the best counter

[@mlggamer5296]

I love his special animations every single one of them cuz I like the tornado effect I like that it really feels like Spider-Man 3 and also I really like the giant Sandman pulverizing then but I was kind of hoping you would have been more like a sand monster in the original Spider-Man 3 but I ain't complaining that's still pretty cool. Also I see what you did there with the signature. The rude Sandstorm? Nice play on words there guys. Kind of makes me think that when he does his attacks maybe his specials you should just play that song

[@tjjohnson1675]

Like the triple immunity than again sandman did get poisoned technically by venom But still I love sandman loved him in Spider-Man 3 kinda was expecting him to turn his hand into a sledgehammer like he did in some of the spectacular Spider-Man episodes

[@mlggamer5296]

Okay that makes sense that he can hold his heavy and become Passively indestructible. You punch Sandman your hand is getting stuck in there and he can do whatever he wants at that point

[@supersaiyan5889]

@@patelliott430 he’s right. Sandman won’t be a champ for everyone just like quicksilver. Also his damage seem a little on the lower end. People nowadays can’t handle any sort of feedback. 🍦

[@uprootboredom]

Why are there so many debuffs with weird potencies? I don't need to be thinking mid-fight, "I have 9 decelerate debuffs left which is... 63% aar... which means I'd need uhh.. 6 more to counter evade?"

[@FernandowoTM]

about time hes in

[@datmfingboii2789]

I don't like that he needs a synergy to not miss I feel like that should already be in his kit I mean you are attacking with a bunch of sand how do you miss or maybe he should counter evade one or the other

[@imbleh3364]

Wish he had some sort of passive healing to him, but I guess that was instead favored for making him have high resistances

[@anshumansahu1484]

I have questions about this... wasn't sandman supposed to be inflicted with degen debuffs while immune against gorr? 0:29

[@31pyrex]

No, it only converts to degens if the hit lands, not through block.

[@davidjaramillo8282]

Damm man neither shocker or sandman has a good synergy for electro!!! Wth

[@reedrichards4236]

Sandman is amazing

[@mlggamer5296]

So his personal debuffs do use up one at a time so I guess that's going to play into the mechanic

[@mlggamer5296]

Yeah that makes sense that he's immune to bleed poison and shock. I mean he's sand he's literally ground. Also I think once he became Sandman blood was not a problem

[@mlggamer5296]

Okay I'm loving the synergies for this one I would more likely use stealth suit Spider-Man and mantis I don't have mantis obviously cuz she just came out recently so I haven't gotten a chance to gain her but I did have stealth suit and Stark enhanced before I got banned. And I may occasionally use Venom or Goblin

Okay I really like sandman's pose because I like the fact that he kind of like punches down the camera. I really liked when they actually interact with the camera. And gives a sense of how they're very aware of where they are and it's like there's a cameraman watching the fights and by punching the cameras its like them trying to send a message "we know you're out there Summoner" kind of plays into the story

His playstyle looks easy lol, all you do is specials and basics to get 20 stacks and then spam heavies, simple

Dude. Deceleration is the perfect counter to all the annoying evading goobers. Like a bunch of the skill champs.

Deceleration will soon be more popular that slow because now there’s a few champs that immune to slow or even some nodes too.

[@cosmicgiraffe4071]

@@vigil4270 yes but his playstyle is reliant on the resistant up passives, building up till just a certain amount of power. You can’t just hit the opponent or spend your power when you want for his playstyle.
