Sandrone is 85% playable. Here’s the evidence.

From the latest archon quest, Pulonia can be controlled.

Last time another non playable character (columbina) could be controlled and move around in the quest, we got them in the next patch.

We’ve solved the mystery of the last character to be released on the silhouette poster of the next few Luna releases.

It’s Sandrone.

Ok counter evidence:

Some automaton or mechanical NPCs in certain world quests have those mechanics too, so maybe not…

Gonna still have to doubt it's her. I'd have to wish upon a lot of stars .

perfectchaos832026-01-14 22:36

I'd consider it 100%, but not for this reason.

Her body is but of a puppet version of Mary Ann's. The fact her robot body remained stabilizes her chances of coming back, but being playable is another story.

Either way, I do think it'd be a massive waste not to let Sandrone be playable, so with all their effort in mind, Sandrone might be.

>!It was leaked all the way at the beginning of Nod Krai that Sandrone would die and later be revived as another element (now believed to be electro) later along the road. !<

We know she’s playable because hoyo told us she is lmao

Source ? I believe you but I cant find the info

It's 100%. They already leaked her as a playable character at the start of Nod-Krai. And they invested a lot into her VA for her to just be gone. Her hair and character model have all been fully built already as well.

They repeated multiple times that both Sandrone's and Pulonia's cores were safe and it's been established that robot bodies can be remade in whatever desired form so long as the cores, specifically the inner cores, are relatively intact.

It also would make no sense to tease players by letting them walk around in dead characters. The Wanderer kept saying she always had a backup plan as well. She's probably just going to get a new body at the Fontaine Research Institute and possibly "retire" from the Fatui through her death during active duty.

Oh the tsaritsa gonna be pissed with us 😭 we fr help put one Harbinger in a coma got one killed by the Riden shogun, helped another to erase himself from everyone’s memories and presumably help kill a mad doctor with the help of an ex harbinger and another harbinger dies in that same fight… we’re cooked if we see the tsaritsa

zenqma2026-01-20 02:35

La Signora was out of line, the tsaritsa probably won't remember Wanderer since he... yk.. erased himself (unless shes immune to irminsul changes), she permitted us to kill Dottore, and >!sandrones death!< wasn't our fault, so... probably not

ShowerNo692026-01-15 12:17

would she retain her sassiness (i love her for it)

Honest_Milk_82742026-01-15 22:01

That has nothing to do with nothing. People think that just because Mihoyo spent resources to make a characters, they will do something with that characters. Well, they modelled the 3 Moon Goddess only to make them disappear after 2 hours of gameplay. There is no evidence that Sandrone was meant to playable at all, specially considering she has no vision.

IMO, dead characters should remain dead, otherwise, it lessens their sacrifice. If they revive dead characters, nobody will care next time someone dies, because they will know that death is most likely "fake".

That said, Sandrone isn't human, she is a machine, so well, death is relative, specially if her core was salvaged.

Medium_Fig_37642026-01-15 22:02

True. I was kinda disappointed when they disappeared after like what, 5 minutes of lore drop and then boom they got evaporated

Realistic_Poetry_4732026-01-17 18:31

yeah but the moon goddesses very obviously had the npc look. sandrone has received the updated model treatment and her facial features are all fully animated, she has a playable character model.

kysm8_2026-01-18 00:40

they already did it with xiao once lmao
